  But your honor, we don't know how to prosecute any other way!

  It does help everyone... Everyone he cares about...

• On the post: Larian Studios The Latest To Face Backlash Over Use of AI To Make Games

  

  Berenerd ( profile ), 23 Dec, 2025 @ 04:18am

  So, I will skip my opinion of AI itself. The problem is, maybe today they are using it and not letting people go, then the number crunchers say "Hey, we can make more for doing less! Lets get to it!" We all know its not the lower management that makes these choices, its people who have investors to think about.

  But don't worry...

  He will land on his feet. In a few months, he will get another job working with another company so that in a year or so he gets another big golden parachute and take another vacation.

  "There are also things like mental health services and healthcare access in rural areas, the latter of which tend to be Trump territory. It seems that those who voted for Trump often times are his preferred victims." One sign of a coward/bully is the choice of targets. Either the ones too weak to defend themselves, or those unwilling to defend themselves. I would say this fits the die hard MAGA cult requirement for membership.

• On the post: Trump Has Announced Nine Different Things He’s Going To Spend His Unconstitutional Tariff Tax Revenue On

  Considering the last I heard was Trump saying its in the 20 trillion in revenue since he cam in office, the country's debt is dropping faster than anyone standing behind him after a BigMac attack!

• On the post: Literal Enshittification: ‘Smart’ Toilets Play Fast And Loose With Your Pooping Data

  

  Berenerd ( profile ), 15 Dec, 2025 @ 08:12am

  End 2 End User's end to Company's end. God forbid someone steals you crap data before the company can sell it. What about their profit margines? You think a $600 toilet seat isn't bad enough?

  Oh, they knew they were voting for large cats to eat faces, they just wanted it to be other faces, not theirs.

  Just imagine how high they will hike prices when no one can afford it and just pirate it anyhow. ARRRRR MATEYS!

• On the post: Courage Doesn’t Scale

  

  Berenerd ( profile ), 17 Nov, 2025 @ 10:51am

  I was actually thinking about this and talking with friends about it recently. We were talking about AI and how if they were to have come to us with it 15 or 20 years ago, how gung-ho we would be BECAUSE they were the ones to stand up for something. Now they sit down like good simps just so they can squeeze a few more dollars out of the system. It, at the time, made me happy to work in technology. Now its just a paycheck and I go home and play with my own ideas and build my own tools outside of the technology world. (Forging metal, wood working/carving and such.)

  Berenerd ( profile ), 25 Sep, 2025 @ 09:56am

  You know what else is in a 35-mile radius around NYC and the UN? Millions of actual cellphones and other cell dependent devices. For all we know, they raided Trump tower's lost and found.

  The opening line killed me I had to watch the video a few times because I missed it laughing too hard. "As I was saying..." lol

• On the post: Somebody’s Lying: Susan Monarez’s Congressional Testimony Is 180 Degrees From RFK Jr.’s

  Remember, under this administration, its not a lie, its alternative facts.

• On the post: Some Federal Judges Appear Done With SCOTUS’s Shadow Docket Bullshit

  

  Berenerd ( profile ), 05 Sep, 2025 @ 05:11am

  The biggest issue here, the shadow docket has often gone against precedence and long-standing rulings, so there really is no longer a precedence for the lower courts to follow. The current Kangaroo court of the Supremes tosses it all aside to redefine words of the constitution, make rulings on things that have all but been set in stone just because a doner gave them a giant RV or bought them a $500k cigar.

• On the post: Trump Administration Approves New COVID Vaccines… For Barely Anyone At All

  

  Berenerd ( profile ), 29 Aug, 2025 @ 05:23am

  We need to get off RFK Jr.'s back. He has shown that there is not non-scientific reason for the Covid Vaccine should work. He has proven that time and time again. Let him focus on what isn't scientific evidence that its causing Autism.

  So, they get billions upon billions in funding. Rather than spend that money on competent people (Because competence means non-compliant to this administration) they want to spend it on spray paint for a wall to make it hotter so people can't touch it and possibly hot enough to melt the high-tech cameras they plan on posting on the said walls. BRILLIANT!

  Berenerd ( profile ), 22 Aug, 2025 @ 03:46am

  An office, controlled by a political power, having an issue with how political leaders don't bother trying to keep people safe, and he feels they are being too political? I fear that dead worm in his head died of starvation shortly after birth.
