John Quincy Archibald takes a hospital emergency room hostage when his insurance won't cover his son's heart transplant.
Stardew is all I play right now. I also recommend Mika and the Witch’s Mountain.

I still have some of my original NES game booklets, including the one for Link. I kept them in a plastic bag so they’re all mint! I keep the Doom 64 booklet in my office space for fun.
It’s only Chinese surveillance and censorship when you don’t use an open source fork of DeepSeek, which is not possible with OpenAI or any of the other US-based big names. There’s already versions of DS that remove the telemetry and censorship. So it becomes a moot point for one and an unsolvable problem for the others.
Edit: I can’t find one that mentions removal or blocking of telemetry, but this one removes the censorship mechanism. Point still stands. Your data is out there with whoever your AI provider is. It’s part of why I don’t use AI for anything sensitive or important.
All AI does this. It just becomes more obvious that this is tired old anti-China propaganda because we don’t see similar articles for OpenAI and other US-based AI tools.
The difference is that OpenAI is closed-source so you never know what it’s actually doing, and DeepSeek being open source means the data being sent can be seen, and the mechanisms can be removed.
This is the way.
Yep. Corporations are scared of open source AI, especially when it makes OpenAI look like dog shit.
AI in the hands of the ruling class is a collective threat to the world. Apple Intelligence, Copilot computers—they are all gateways for corporations to circumvent security. They scour every piece of data on your devices in order to process it all. It’s going to become a shitty Trojan horse: offers nothing of value to people and we handwave it away, while it casually peeks into all of our “secure” apps on a daily basis.
No, our politicians and the dummies that follow and support them blindly are the baddies.
lol no. Go outdoors and put that shit on DND. Scroll later. Can’t stand when I see someone craned over a phone when they’re somewhere surrounded by nature.
It’s only brain rot if it’s all you do all day long. Everything in moderation. It’s also often times the only window into other cultures for people that don’t have the money to travel. I’d rather scroll through stuff that teaches me something, than I would the endless US oligarchy brain rot feeds.
Why not both? The grass isn’t that wonderful everywhere.
A meme that shows an image of Jordan Peterson on the left, and Henry Rollins on the right. The title at the top reads:
Why listen to glorified motivational speaker Jordan Peterson when you can just listen to Henry Rollins
The left column below Peterson reads:
- Thinks there is a "crisis in masculinity"
- Insists that the "hero's journey" is a long, strenuous process
- Never collaborated with Tool
- Zero scene cred
- Writes self-help books
The right column below Rollins reads:
- Never belittles or puts you down for your inner turmoil
- "Hero time starts. Right. Now."
- Provided a visceral monologue on Tool's debut album
- Well respected in the music scene
- Writes about his travels and interacting with foreign cultures

Now to find Donnie and Raph.
