Brings to mind the sopranos scene of the two dudes trying to shake down a starbucks or starbucks analogue for protection money

Thanks! I hadn’t checked in to see their reply before it was deleted, so I rooted around the modlog and surprise surprise, transphobia!

So close! The correct answer was: “Got it, thanks. Yikes, those people at the fruit site.”

  1. It’s not the orange site
  2. It is “fruit” + “agricultural term”

Is it that you can’t read, or won’t?

Tbh, weird. If I were a hyper-capitalist, CA-based CEO, I would take the burner phone as an insult. I’d see it as a lack of faith in the capture of the US. Who needs plausible deniability when you just own the fucking country?

I did not know about this (though I am not surprised): many of those threads mention a particular fruit-based website or forum dedicated to doxxing, harassing, or marring the reputation of people they don't like. While I won't speculate as to the involvement of that site with this situation, it's just another shitty thing that exists that I now know about.l

Absolutely.

the problem with a story, essay, etc written by LLM is that i lose interest as soon as you tell me that’s how it was made.

This + I choose to interpret it as static.

you cheapen them by reviving them

Learnt this one from, of all places, the pretty bad manga GANTZ.

I’m actually surprised that DPRK is unable to launder all that crypto. You would think that the crypto community would have at this point created fatter laundering pipelines.

You should actually waste even more time and make a nightcore/sped up version. This way you can create the sneerclub brainrot tiktok genre, so that we can educate the children

Thank you to that thread for reacquainting me with the term “script kiddie”, the precursor to the modern day vibe coder

Tried to see if they have partnered with softbank, the answer is probably not.
