I had ED 3 (Maximum the Hormone) playing in my mind as I read this chapter.

Assassination attempt on Trump in a rally.

I'd seriously worry about not having immunity to whatever diseases exist in that world, and the people of that new world not having immunity to whatever I might be carrying from my world.

Probably try and figure what the skills of the other survivors on the train to assemble a team with the goal of survival and information gathering.

Holy crap, this chapter got me laughing at first from how he was telling Denji to eat sushi properly and Denji gobbled it down to spite him... And when Nayuta showed up I couldn't breathe for a few seconds. I shouldn't be surprised since Fujimoto is a cruel man, and his characters always suffer psychological trauma but I didn't see that coming at all.

10/10 chapter and now I need to cool my head with some cute puppy videos on YouTube.

While an aggressive attitude won't change the mind of bigots, a polite and respectful response to someone who advocates for forcing kids to go through the wrong puberty is going to be especially difficult for people with personal trauma for it, and it's unreasonable to expect it of them.

I think it's a reasonable reaction to throw polite discourse out when people use "moderate" as a cover for their bigotry. This is like when "moderate" person said that segregation of black people was reasonable when people were fighting for their civil rights, and that since the moderates weren't pro-slavery so they were the good guys. No, you're not the good guys, you're just not as bad as the super evil guys. Congrats.

Now I won't tell you to "fuck off and die", but I will tell you to fuck off. If you were someone I personally knew, I would have put in the effort to be polite and try to educate you or whatever, but since we don't know each other it's unlikely to land.

I say it as someone who used to think like you.

That was a nod to Great Moments in Unintended Consequences. (Example)

For me it's branding something as "AI" as a buzzword. Almost all product marketing is full of AI hype these days.

The Year: 2092

The Problem: Timezones are annoying

The Solution: Space mirrors! A series of mirrors in space would rotate to keep the entire planet under a single time zone. A perfect global time system is born!

Sounds like a great idea! With the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong?

You can run DOOM on E.Coli bacteria, so I'm sure you can run it on anything.

Any front engine rear drive car going in reverse, lol.

This is similar to how fiends keep parts of the original human's personality. They literally share braincells.

Denji being Denji, Asa being Asa, and then when he realised he won't be getting sex today, he breaks down in a moment of self awareness and self loathing, and Yoru being Yoru. Perfect writing.

Nobody told her about the Streisand effect...

I called it, Katana Man is getting development... Didn't expect it to go there, but it makes sense considering his upbringing. I expect him to fully let go of his hatred and become friends with Denji properly. He will probably help him out when Fami reveals her game and prevent her from eating Denji or something...

There is always the Wikipedia style link to the definition whenever such word arrives. This is what browser tabs are for.

I had to go back to check...

Also Joker makeup.

I like being able to rotate 90° one of my screen because sometimes it's just the best way to work.

PL setups are the best.

If that ever happens, I would start bringing duct tape to flights, tape a magazine to cover the screen.

I remember having a conversation with a former friend a while ago, and he, as a guy who worked for a certain company that makes most of its revenue from delivering ads, spoke about requiring use of front facing camera and using eye tracking technology to ensure you're actually watching the ads and not going somewhere else while the ads play. If you aren't looking at the ad, it will play another ad afterwards.

He spoke about it as something he is looking forward to, since it would increase revenue. Pretty sure he was pitching this idea to his boss hoping to get a promotion.

I'm starting to think Katana Man will be getting significant character development and will end up helping Denji at the end.

That was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

I would have never even thought of checking that. That's very surprising.

Wait, not every phone has compass hardware?

I absolutely despise it when people say "should have known better" when companies mess up. Not everyone is going to spend weeks researching obscure information before buying a phone.

I wasn't aware of her existence or that of the vampire facials, but this is some Carmilla stuff. Next they will tell you they need virgin blood.

If I had that quirk I could have defeated Shigaraki and All For One in a single punch.

If these are signs of being old, I was born old.

Ads are gross and are a violation of lemmy.ml rules.

They did win because of how the electoral college works. Both Trump and Bush lost the popular vote and won the election because the system is designed in a stupid way.

Katana man and Yoru kicking Deji's balls is the funniest thing I have seen in a while.

Personally, I would never give Reddit a single penny. Their garbage CEO does plenty to get people to leave and I am sure it will keep like that.

Your phone's email app is a client, but I digress... I hate using the browser to access emails. I use many different email accounts with multiple email providers to compartmentalize my emails and avoid spam. I used Thunderbird for years before switching to Geary and now back to Thunderbird.

My first time trying to get my mother to switch from Windows to a Linux based OS wasn't successful because there was too much friction and inconvenience for her, and she wasn't willing to even entertain the idea of Linux for years after that. My second attempt was successful because Linux is much more user friendly than it used to be 13 years ago, and I changed my approach to make it as frictionless as possible.

Firefox just set to block 3rd party cookies + some basic extensions like adblocking and some easy privacy stuff is a good way to go about it, because it's better than what she used previously and it doesn't become inconvenient to her. She doesn't know what an operating system is, or what cookies are... She just uses the computer to browse the web, emails, and light office work. She even says she prefers the current setup (though that's because her old computer was chugging with Windows and runs smoothly now with a less bloated OS)

No need for noscript, deleting cookies, fingerprinting, or user agent stuff... Only introduce these to them if they express interest in privacy and are interested in learning more. If you try to thrust it upon them too suddenly they will just think "Linux isn't a good user experience and is only good for tech enthusiasts and programmers".

At this point I'd be surprised if there was a single oil billionaire who hasn't donated millions to his campaigns.

I'm so glad we have GN bringing these stories to light.

she might be a little more unreasonable.

Now I'm imagining Blood Devil Power saying stuff like "I'll be the Shogun. Everyone bow to me and I will spare your life." Or something. And I definitely agree, Denji will hold back and maybe get seriously injured because of it (it's CSM, so he will always get seriously injured). Maybe she will attack after seeing Nayuta because of Power's instinctive hatred for Makima or something. No idea if Nayuta is alive for this too happen though.

So Trump is basically like an AI that has no will of his own and is just a predictive algorithm that is trained on his fan base? That makes a surprising amount of sense when listening to his speeches, they make as much sense as a tripping LLM that was mostly trained on other AI generated text.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. The guy loves coal, oil, and gas, he hates anything renewable with almost the same passion as he hates immigrants. He will literally defund the EPA because in his mind the environment is fake news and because it will make him popular amongst rich business owners who get even richer from deregulation.

At least 60% of my internet time is YouTube. I rely on it for entertainment, news, education, discovering music, technical help, ETC...

Could I live a meaningful life without it? Probably, people have been living meaningful lives before the invention of the computer in general... But I wouldn't give it up because there is an immense amount of incredible content there that genuinely makes my life better.
