My recommendation for them is that they send all of their money to me :)

No need to hold into worthless paper they cant take with them. In fact, I'll buy it at a rate of 1/100th of its value :D

I hope every single person that is stupid enough and thinks the world is going to end wakes up the following day and just commits suicide.

what a Crock

+1 I love how there have been so many times "the end of the world is coming". Jesus get over yourselves already. We have about as much of a clue about the world ending as a rock does about it's surrounding environment. Idk why everyone is so hung up on the world ending. If it does somehow one day, then sit back and enjoy yourself while you can. Life is like a train and you know what, it's going to hit you. Now you can either run from it in panic until you die, or you can sit back, crack open a beer and watch it come.

But almost all jokes aside, if the end of the world comes, please let it be after the Doctor Who Christmas special! Afterwards, I don't care XD

Damn right! Other wise the end of the world will have me to answer too!!!!

I always find it very comical as well. As after all, we are all going to die anyway. The world ending makes no difference in that regard.

I am going to shamelessly quote my own signature here:

I cant wait for the 22nd , Im seriously going to troll the nut job sites till I'm banned into oblivion.

No doubt the doom sayers will come out with some BS excuse as to why we all are alive and create some other stupid date for our horrific deaths.

Why dont these idiots make up something nice , Like the AOKP unicorn comes down and licks the evil from humanity until we get a visit from a spaceship full of little green android dudes and we all get assimilated into droids (4.2 AOKP obviously)

A man can only dream hahaha :woot:

In America Ron Hubbard, a manufacturer of hi-tech underground survival shelters, has seen his business explode.

Is this a joke? That name is known for something else that I consider wacky as well lol :p

I also spotted this and was surprised that only one person picked up on this! Perhaps we're showing our age, (Not sure how old you are?) but for those that don't know what we are going on about, the person that immediately came to mind was L. Ron Hubbard. He wrote pretty famous books like Battlfield Earth and Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. He also started that most insidious of "religions" called Scientology!

It crossed my mind too, but I think he died something on the lines of 20 years ago. Other people here probably realized the same thing. :)

Exactly , I live in London .so what clock are we going by ? I find it rather ironic that they could supposedly predict the future but didn't see the end of the empire they had built coming :laugh:.I just love this theory ,Mind blowing ...wow , just wow !

I have done a lot of research on the subject of 2012 and i have come to a possible conclusion. as many of you know, there are a few different scenarios on what could happen. 3 days of darkness, 2 suns afterwards etc. my belief is that the earth is going to go through the black hole that is expanding at the edge of our solar system and will take three days to get through and when we come out the other side, we will be in a new solar system with 2 suns and different constellations. i know that all of this is hard to believe but its the most rational explanation that i can think of that makes some sense. please can you all consider this as a possibility and let me know your thoughts?

Who is really freaking out about this thing? I work with a lot of people... not one has made reference to this date in a less than laughing and mocking way, friends... same thing. Hell, even at places like the mall and grocery store, not a peep.

Ohhhh yeah, the news outlet are talking about it to drum up business. Carry on.

If Nibiru was going to hit earth on the 21st, dont you think we'd see it in the sky by now?

I'm actually surprised this entire year wasnt filled with panic, tv shows, sensationalistic news and more movies like... well, '2012'.

You must not have turned on the History Channel recently...

Not going to even read the article, people are stupid, and misinterpreting it completely. The Mayan calendar continues well past this year, some of my professors had a seminar disproving this s***. Other than that I'm clueless as to the "facts" people seem to be applying to 12/21. In conclusion - if you believe this ****, you're F'ing retarded and come see me on the 22nd :)

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!

      Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
