sixQuarks··on Toyota cuts 2023 EV sales forecast by nearly 40%
I saw one parked the other day and I liked the design. But I hear it’s a terrible vehicle
sixQuarks··on Psychedelic Mushrooms Hit the Market in Oregon
The guy who did the most to transition the world to EVs, created a global internet satellite network, and gave us reusable rockets is a massive problem.

And what have you done for us?

sixQuarks··on Psychedelic Mushrooms Hit the Market in Oregon
I've had a bad trip once where I took too much, but I realize it was because of the amount I took. Do you microdose daily?
sixQuarks··on Psychedelic Mushrooms Hit the Market in Oregon
Dude, you're obsessed with Elon. Give it a break.

This thread found me at the perfect time I swear. A friend of mine just gave me a huge amount of shrooms. I've always been excited about microdosing, so I tried my first .4 grams the other day and felt a great layer of good vibes that day. I was going to increase the dose, knowing it's not really microdosing and figuring I could do this on a regular basis. I'm now taking this thread as a sign to slow my roll.
sixQuarks··on Psytrance Guide
Anyone got recommendations on dj sets that are more like offbeat psytrance but contain big drops that make you want to dance?
sixQuarks··on Grind – A first person shooter for Amiga 500
I’m assuming this game would have worked in the original console.

Imagine if this game was released back then. It would absolutely blow everyone’s mind.

Now think what’s possible on a PS5, someone 30 years from now will create an awesome retro game for it

sixQuarks··on Can You Trust Those Awards You See in Auto Ads? (2010)
Consumer reports is funded by the Ford foundation. Interesting they didn’t mention that
sixQuarks··on Daft Punk announce drumless edition of random access memories
They’re using Elon Musk principles. No part is the best part.

Eventually they will release an album with complete silence

sixQuarks··on Conversation with Zuckerberg, this time we talked as photorealistic avatars
I think it's only uncanny valley on Mark Zuckerberg. The dude looks uncanny in real life.
sixQuarks··on Google is picking ChatGPT responses from Quora as correct answer
I don't even ever clickthrough to Quora anymore. It's useless, you never get the answers to the question unless you login, and even then it shows only one or two answers and bombards you with other unrelated questions.
sixQuarks··on YouTube blocks Russell Brand from making money through its platform
Like I said, If you have any independent journalists you think I should check out to get educated, then I’m all ears.

I can give you dozens no problem.

sixQuarks··on YouTube blocks Russell Brand from making money through its platform
This is what I suspected you meant by "totally nuts". The thing is, if you get all your news from the establishment, you think these things are totally nuts.

When you go beyond corporate-backed news and listen to a variety of independent journalists and commentators, you start realizing over time that some of these things that sounded crazy at first may actually be legitimate, and it's not from reptition - it's from how things in the world unfold. You start seeing evidence pile up over the months, you start seeing the lies of corporate media, you do start questioning everything.

So saying something like Fauci should be in jail would have sounded nuts before, doesn't sound nuts when you've seen the evidence pile up over time.

The question I always ask people who are inline with the establishment is this: Which INDEPENDENT journalists do you follow that align with what you think? I never get an answer.

sixQuarks··on YouTube blocks Russell Brand from making money through its platform
All I’m asking is for one example of what he’s said that’s “totally nuts”. You’re the one that made the claim, and now you refuse to back it up. Perhaps instead of believing clickbait headlines, you should actually watch his videos and decide for yourself whether they are actually “nuts” or if you’re being lied to.
sixQuarks··on YouTube blocks Russell Brand from making money through its platform
No, it just shows you don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve watched his videos, it is nothing like Alex Jones. I knew you wouldn’t be able to back up your claims.

What about diplomacy? The US has done everything it could to provoke this invasion, going back to the fall of the USSR, when we broke the promise that NATO would not move one inch eastward.
sixQuarks··on YouTube blocks Russell Brand from making money through its platform
Can you give an example of what made his videos “totally nuts”?

Yeah crazy you’re being downvoted
sixQuarks··on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
I meant it sarcastically. I doubt a $2 trillion corporation is genuinely concerned about diversity
sixQuarks··on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
Good summary. I can’t take huge corporations seriously when they virtue signal to this extent. Apple cares so much about diversity, while kids mine their cobalt in the Congo.
sixQuarks··on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
Felt like I was watching a presentation made with AI actors. The long pauses, PR-driven language, it was all so sterile and politically correct. Very cringe.
sixQuarks··on Asking 60 LLMs a set of 20 questions
Has anyone looked through all the responses and chosen any winners?
sixQuarks··on NY Times Rides in Waymo Robotaxis in SF
Are you not aware of how FSD beta performs in SF?

There are several videos where Tesla FSD beats cruise and Waymo in getting to random destinations, with no interventions.

sixQuarks··on Majority of Smithsonian’s Human Brain Specimens Was ‘Gathered Without Consent’
Good point. Get the masses rowled up over culture wars while ignoring the important stuff.
sixQuarks··on Majority of Smithsonian’s Human Brain Specimens Was ‘Gathered Without Consent’
Outrage accept when it comes to actual things that kill people, like wars. We are all about getting lied to into wars, accepting hundreds of thousands of deaths, not punishing those who got us into wars, then promoting them and letting them start more wars. Where is the outrage for that?
sixQuarks··on Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky sentenced to 8 years in prison in absentia
What is the source that talks about him sending photos of military gear to Russian intelligence?
sixQuarks··on Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky sentenced to 8 years in prison in absentia
Exactly. Free speech isn't about protecting speech you agree with, it's about protecting speech you don't agree with. I don't care how vile this man's thoughts are, it is not right to jail somebody for that and Ukraine is just as bad as Russia for doing so. It needs to be called out especially since we are sending a huge amount of money supporting them.
sixQuarks··on Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky sentenced to 8 years in prison in absentia
How is it false equivalence? If anything, Gonzalo's case is worse, he's actually been sent to prison and beaten. Dmitry will not even see jail. Both are for the same thought crimes.
sixQuarks··on Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky sentenced to 8 years in prison in absentia
Exactly. Look how my comment is getting downvoted. The hypocrisy is palpable. It doesn't matter how repulsive you think this man his, he's being jailed for what he said. How is this any better than Russia?
sixQuarks··on Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky sentenced to 8 years in prison in absentia
Proof?
