“Troll logic” is one of my favorite memes.

Exactly like being hit by lightning at any instant has a 50% risk because either it happens or it doesn’t.

I already don’t trust any Google result that has “AI” anywhere near it, and barely even the rest anymore.

Yes, but was this specific one a result, or was it a 5 second fake because haha meme?

I’m already pretty skeptical of “AI” in the LLM-algorithm-hell sense, but that doesn’t mean people don’t make things up for shits and giggles.

Please tell me this is fake. I need to hear these words.

I distinctly remember this joke when 2000 or ME was the most recent one.

Five… four… three…

Serious question? The principle is called “opportunity cost”. Chilling out and touching grass is free - but you could also have spent that time working, producing stuff, learning or whatever. You have “lost out” on a potential benefit due to exactly how that time was spent.

The pro Russia part does.

Roger Waters put a damper on my enjoyment of Pink Floyd.

So they’re ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

Wow, imagine calling out a fucker like that, how dare you.

There are some beautiful argument chains.

Doubt.

Yeah, well, no fucking shit, what’d they think was the point of the campaign?

These guys…

Hated every kind, had some actually great ones in Greece, now I can sorta kinda get behind black olives. Greens are still a bit too bitter for my preference.

“site” does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.

I’d consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the “quotes for verbatim results”, which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.

To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.

Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.

N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right… prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was… still pretty awkward.

I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.

Disproving them can work

No

So don’t?

Then what’s your counter?
