When you make money off the click and not the sale, so your ad isn’t to educate someone about your product, but to trick them into tapping on your ad — so the fact you pissed them off and they never learn about or buy from you doesn’t bother you. That’s not an ad, it’s a con.

@Provokethoughtz Well… you didn’t point out the need for Feminism, though. You pointed out how important it is to protect the minority — men who are decent human beings. So, yeah: some men are getting hated just for being men. Not the same as hating women, but just as stupid.

It’s so crazy, watching people play ten people’s worth of The Telephone Game . in just one message. It’s the greatest bane to communicating ideas ands debating delicate subjects and heated emotions #humans #epluribusunum

@BootsieMac2 @Mollyploofkins Watching you turn a complaint about the unnecessary color into some imagined objection to cleaning and repairs? I’d like to think I’m shedding some light on the misunderstanding, yes.

@Venrymel @Mollyploofkins Just a ray of sunshine aren’t you?

Trump shouldn't be able to unilaterally do shit like this to our national monuments.

@WTPRPOed @Mollyploofkins The complaint isn’t about repairs. The complaint is about the color. You can pretend Democrats are complaining about repairs, but that’s you being delusional. The repairs are appropriate. That’s not the criticism. Who’s complaining about cleaning it? Show me who it is.

Our colors are red, white, blue... not only were tons of algae, goose poop, debris removed, and the bottom painted, leaks were repaired, and filtration improved. Hopefully that takes care of the algae issue and maybe even the poop issue? Just because your house will get dirty again you don't bother to clean it?

The big problem with having a conversation or a debate with some people: The Telephone Game. They literally play the Telephone Game with their own ideas, so taking them at their word is near impossible.

@BootsieMac2 @Mollyploofkins I didn’t know painting something blue could stop birds from pooping in it. Does it also repel litter from tourists? How does that work?

@Mollyploofkins You are right! Trump should have left the shit floating in the basin.

@roadsterbobby @Mollyploofkins What is it about the blue color that’s going to prevent algae growing in it again?

@Mollyploofkins So just leave it leaky and full of algae? Like it’s been for decades?

@clownmommy @Mollyploofkins Keep this in mind: He didn’t do any of that “himself”. It was done by laborers who accepted the job and performed the destruction.

@Mollyploofkins He destroyed the East Wing of the White House. He tore it down. He bulldozed it.

@WTPRPOed @Mollyploofkins So … what’s so great about the blue color that’s going to do anything about foliage, bird excrement and tourist trash that’s still going to end up in it?

So Democrats are so fond of filth and disrepair they bitch when things are cleaned and maintained? Obama spent 50 million and 2 years repairing the Reflecting Pool. Within a month it needed to be drained again. The real issue is it's Trump's idea. And his ability to actually fix things under budget and ahead of schedule just makes the left's incompetence more apparent.

Yes!

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Fascinated people think using both lanes means less congestion. Still the same number of cars waiting. Yes, he’s selfish for capitalizing on the opportunity provided by everyone else’s hive mind. No different than using the shoulder to cut the line.

This guy is using the left hand lane , which is open. There is a mile long backup and everyone is over in the right hand lane. He drives all the way up until he has to merge. Some people are saying what a jerk he is for not getting in line like everyone else, but a great many people are saying that the cars in the right lane merged into one lane too soon and that if they had used the left lane, instead of being a mile backup it would have been a half a mile backup. What’s your take? Do you think he was correct in using the left lane and merging up at the front or should he have merged right and got in line way in the back like everyone else?

@heynavtoor I can’t begin to be surprised by this. This is why I agree sponsored is bad practice. The sponsor pays to have their product imposed. Yes, the user pays more. The sponsor recognizes they’re guaranteed to make a sale. Competition for exposure, not benefit. Profit, the only goal.

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario. a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose. the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant. he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests. Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time. GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead. Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on. Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for. then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company." GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing. then he splits the users by income. Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%. 18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time. so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for. it isn't recommending the best option for you. it's reading the room. and the room is paying. read this: arxiv.org/abs/2604.08525

@SNaffziger20295 @__lilith666 No, I dont. Was there a point you wanted to make, regarding that? You didn’t actually ask. Is your answer to my question: “no, you don’t investigate scientific advancements people from your religion have blocked”? Similarly, tho, I dislike things that hurt people. 💙

@Venrymel @__lilith666 Really it depends on the scientific advances. if it takes advantage of humans in general, I'm against it. let me guess. you get the flu vaccine every year

@SNaffziger20295 @__lilith666 Have you paid attention to the people in the U.S. who profess your religion? I think you’re ignoring how many times people from your religion have blocked scientific advances, recently.

@__lilith666 actually the rigorous methods of scientific testing were invented by Christians because they believed that if the world was created it must have rules. Wow. And atheists profess logic and research. Charles Dawkins is not your figurehead. he gets absolutely butchered in debates

Community note reads: AI slop. My wording: The rendering of someone’s imagination.

@GeoRebekah Person forgets you have to learn something before it is known and yells at someone for learning something. This is what it’s like when people get angry about their own failure to be courteous.

While I'm here: The Greeks hide in the horse The Titanic sinks Romeo and Juliet die Bruce Willis is dead the whole time And don't even get me started on Oedipus, Jesus, or Les Mis

@ToriatheistTori Thought I had one day: Cherubs only used to be well known. The reason they were well known was the mortality rate. That’s the religion we’re talking about. People believed in that god back when they could SEE all the children who weren’t surviving. And now they rag on Planned P.
