Well let’s see… first we gotta figure out the analogy:

• carriers = posts promoting a product
• carrier escorts = posts commenting on and upvoting the “carrier” post
• torpedos/dive-bombs = bot-delivered replies that disparage “carrier” posts. They “hit” if they get highly upvoted
• fighters = bots that downvote carrier-fleet posts and upvote torpedo/dive-bomb replies
• carrier “screen” fighters = bots that post attacks on enemy fighters and munitions
• carrier AA fire = bots that downvote attacks by enemy fighter bots

The analogy is still a little clumsy… are “carriers” posts, or are they the bots that make the posts? etc. But a Midway-like battle would involve a modest but strategically-positioned product-promoting community that is about to be surprised-attacked by a rival, who will make several posts disparaging the product. But the attack is identified through corporate espionage. The posts are hard to find, so the “fighters” have to search for them but ultimately they do, and after fierce up- and down-voting, the attacking posts are deeply downvoted.

ur gonna give birth to a meme.

Also elderly people. Me or other family buy groceries for an aunt, she has Amazon for emergencies.

fleet of accounts

I like the use of the term “fleet” in this context, bc it brings to mind the Battle of Midway but re-done with bots online.

Guatemala is awesome. The countryside is beautiful and the people are descended from one of humanity’s major civilizations, the Mayans.

I realize OP is only half-serious, but they still come off as really ignorant.

The cat knew he was in trouble and was like: OK, this ONE TIME I will come running to you.

“You don’t think it’s weird when YOU do it!”

I read that when a cat squints at you, it actually means they trust you, i.e. they don’t have to stay alert around you.

“word shitting”. Lots and lots of words that say fuck all.

This is a great way to describe LLM-based AIs. I’ma use it.

I think the really wealthy old-money people would never say such a thing. Because such a thing just wouldn’t occur to them. And if someone said that to them, they’d just kind of smile and nod the same way they would to a toddler. Maybe say “Ah, yes, very good.” So that’s probably the best response.

But if I were writing a screenplay and had to come up with a one-liner I’d probably go with, “Just goes to show you can’t buy class.”

Sorry to hear that! My main account is on slrpnk.net. But don’t let it stress you out, “solarpunk” says “punk” which implies “DIY” which means this sort of thing happens. Much better to have an instance run by an admin who truly cares, rather than some soulless corporation.
