This is Jeff, a monster from a video game named The Cycle: Frontier
Jeff was the community nickname for him. “Marauder” was the real name.
Anyway when the game shut down I was mildly sad that, in a sense, Jeff had died.
Anyway the stuff around 4o is weird but on some level I do understand it

Play in Server Slam from Feb 26 - Mar 2. The Server Slam is a slice of Marathon’s gameplay. Enough to get comfortable, not enough to see everything.

“Hyperreality” was a 35 year long sociological experiment conducted by Université Paris Nanterre. The study is now complete, thank you for your time.

The ai debate on here is wild. There are a lot of anti-ai people who think it's crazy that anyone could be pro-ai, there are a few pro-ai people who think it's crazy that anyone could be anti-ai, and a middle group trying to realistically assess the situation. All three seem to hate each other

This is what the gop is going to face for the next 3 years. Stuttering delusional old white guys dumbfounded when someone replies “of course I am in favor of my constitutional rights, why do you hate this country?” every time they assert the secret police should be able to kill you for talking back.

age verification is functionally a huge security hazard for _all_ internet users but the government will call you a danger to children if you point this out
