Thanks for taking action! That’s a pretty crazy number of accounts to set up for what appears like promoting a few bland articles from a bland AI-generated website.

It was just a random site with some news articles linking to more established news sources. Nothing objectionable content-wise really. Only the remarkable number of upvotes in a very short time for two posts going to the same random site stood out to me.

Vote manipulation bots using sh.itjust.works? - Lemmy.World

Hi just a heads up. Check out this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/37758799 [https://sh.itjust.works/post/37758799] It got so many upvotes in a such a short time I checked out its activity from an mbin instance. And most of these upvotes are coming from sh.itjust.works accounts which were all created 2 months ago, most on 2/16, and have never posted/commented. There was a similar post in the lemmy.world/c/world community linking to the same website and having a similarly high number of upvotes within minutes, but that post seems to be gone now.

Ha that reminds me of the good (or bad) old days of PC gaming where individual settings could make a huge difference.

Shadows off: Smooth

Shadows on: Unplayable

Yeah I should’ve written it as “It is not like that for me”

Well everyone is different. I practiced Zazen and nobody ever told me of experiencing a high or altered awareness.

Meditation doesn’t get you high?

No it’s a a fairly sober experience.

Drugs don’t alter your awareness?

Well I guess they can. I have no firsthand experience with psychedelics etc. but it doesn’t sound like the same kind of experience.

No, meditation is not like drugs. If anything it’s like exercise for a very particular part of your mind. It can train the mind to be calm, patient, observant and focused. I practiced for many years. In my experience it does not in and of itself bring any sort of feelings of happiness.

Being a paper boy in Europe sucked let me tell you. I spent half the time figuring out where the next street on the route was.

Yeah I’d argue “rich” starts at way less than a billion dollars. Someone with a paltry 10 million in the bank is already absolutely loaded, and has won the game.
