Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Yes and that’s obviously lies, as anyone who has grown up with limited income in a cold area can tell them. Cheap, warm clothing is not bought online (in the US) from Russia, and never from Etsy. In the US it’s bought — if you’re buying new at all! — from Target or Kohl’s or some other big chain. You get layers, you get things used when you can, and the cheapest way to dress warmly is the most normie, uninteresting clothes that are mass produced and sold in low end department stores.

Nothing they describe is practical or cheap. It’s cosplay Kinder, Küche, Kirche, and the journalist repeated it verbatim because she’s a chump.

@gnomicutterance @Architeuthis

Sorry, what is the context of this comment?

Mastodon separated it from whatever it was you are replying to and your words caught my curiosity.

@Phosphenes @gnomicutterance @Architeuthis I had no problem finding the context by clicking on the post. Mastodon web interface. What client are you using?

@gerikson @Phosphenes @gnomicutterance @Architeuthis I too can't see the context. Mastodon default UI on techhub.social.

If I copy the post link and open in a new tab I see this is hosted on a very different looking UI, with a 'show context ->' link which does what it says on the tin.

@gerikson @Phosphenes @gnomicutterance @Architeuthis Oh and *now* if I look at what *was* the top-level toot I could see here I can see the actual context.
