the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high
  • The wild part is, at least on tiktok, downvoting or selecting "not interested" seems to give me MORE of that content. It's as if leaving the video on your screen for longer is giving that video more points in the algo than your expressed disinterest. What works better (on tiktok) is to scroll away with the minimum amount of time spent looking at the video.

    Makes me appreciate when there's a big message in the first second that says "wait until the end!" I swipe so fast when I see that. Otherwise I might have to wait to hear what they're doing in this video, which would boost them in the algorithm.

  • Luigi's Manifesto
  • I appreciate you posting this here. I had not read a manifesto yet that sounded like it was legitimately his. This one seems internally consistent at least, as if it was written by a real person. Can never be sure.

    In this one, it seems there's nothing for me to dislike, which makes me believe it was written by a real person, but even more cautious about believing it. I had, until now, only heard negative (from my pov) things about him. It is unusual for something like this to leak. The media tries it's best to keep the lid on contagious ideas. (Another reason to be incredulous)

    I expect the media will try to give both sides something to dislike about him, to discourage idolatry and imitation. Feels like some 1984/Brave New World style social engineering to me.

  • ACNY
  • Judging from the dearth of new ideas in the game industry, Assassin's Creed: Veritas et Aequitas is still very probably going to happen. Seemed like the natural next step after Syndicate.

  • Am I a bad person if (as left as they come) I invest in American Private Prison contractors on the assumption that Trump will go through with his deportation scheme at least to some extent?
  • I was coming to say that also.

    The stock market is nothing more than gambling on the public (rich people) sentiment about how well that company is going to do. It's similar to how there is gambling on who will win the presidency, and does not affect the outcomes.

    Buying stock is not investment, the money that the company recieves comes from issuing the stock. Your money does not fund the evil things that the company does, unless you are paying for goods/services from that company. But, I have seen that stock price influences the decisions of leadership inside the company. Your individual action will not influence the stock price.
