There's this one person I blocked on sight because they had some totally unhinged interaction with other folks I was following, and they immediately added me to a bunch of absolutely bonkers lists they made themselves, even though we never had any interaction whatsoever.

I was trying to debug why I haven't been able to log in to my Capital One account for a while now. Spent some time to debug it. Turns out, it's just another case of the Internet of Shit. Wondering if some AI hallucinated a URL there.

A screenshot of the Chrome debugger showing that during the login flow, it's hitting the URL https://verified.capitalone.com/signincontroller-web/signincontroller/signin which ends up returning 404, which very likely got hallucinated by an AI when some programmer (derogatory) decided to help justify their promotion package at some point.

Just so we're clear, you're claiming your current avatar, a hedgehog showing its thumbs up wearing sunglasses, is NOT ai-generated? Do I get this right?

Saw this one going around, and quite frankly, the difficulty is to restrict myself to only 30 titles. I could easily have gone with 90.

Not really sure if this would work for you, so asking here first, but would an icon of this derp face be possible for you?

I already showed you that. Not my fault you're unable to actually open the post and look at it. You need to fully open the post for the archive label to show up. It even shows this warning label on top when you click the label:

Here, let me help you with 1st grade reading comprehension: See the label at the end? It says the post has been migrated from a post made on July 28, 2014. You're welcome.

We were at Lowe's the other day, and while walking by the appliances section... This shit's everywhere now. It's maddening.

Okay, couldn't help but make an actual extract of the original file, just for quality of the video. It so clearly and efficiently illustrates democrats right now it's both hilarious and painful to watch.

You've seen this one too from today, right?
