Harris’ support of Israel isn’t “neoconservative”, it’s textbook neoliberalism.

Thanks for clarifying!

I’m not certain what you mean here. Can you explain who’s doing a good job and what job they’re doing?

Damn, I can’t tell if this is honest or some really deep cutting sarcasm/satire.

Trump pardoned one of his friends. He’s not going to endorse him, but he will show him respect for that.

Putting humans in an extremely low atmosphere environment… underground. I let you think of the really bad accidents that could occur from that. I’ll start you off with, what if there’s a fire? What if there’s a leak? Or an earthquake?

It’s got all the terror of space, but you’ve also got thousands of pounds of earth overhead. Makes Oceangate’s Titan sub seem downright safe by comparison.

Thanks! Apparently I got banned for being a crypto bot. No idea why, I fucking hate crypto and would never shill any of that useless nonsense.

Random, but related, question. How do you pull up these lists? I’ve been banned from a community, but have no idea why

Joking about antisemitism needs to include tone indicator tags. That’s how the nazis came back on 4chan. Let your comment give no quarter to those who hate.

No one’s calling them scalies, Herald. No one. They’re just furries.

My only problem with that is that they lobotomized Google to make the AI seem valuable. Not that they weren’t going to destroy Google’s utility eventually, but, once generative AI entered the scene, it deteriorated with a quickness.

Yes, but here’s the thing. There’s no way to know if someone is ignorant or abusing your empathy about their potential ignorance. So, you have to treat both those who are ignorant and those who are malicious based on their actions, which are dangerous.

It’s like how 4chan was the rebirth of nazis, when openly people joke about being a Nazi, being a Nazi is no longer a dangerous thing to be. And that allows for nazis to come back.

You had a boss worthy of trust. If only they all were.

Yeah, how dare the artist get money for his song? I want my memes! /s

They have three electoral college votes, so they don’t get lumped in with anyone. That’s the only federal representation they have.

whichever state DC residents’ votes count for

God, imagine if everyone in the US got to vote for things. Wouldn’t that be nice? Yeah, but DC doesn’t have reps. They have one “delegate” for the house (no voting rights) and nothing for the senate. They can vote for their mayor, city council, and US president. End list.

Generative AI, as it is being built right now, is a dead-end. It won’t get much better than it currently is (markedly worse once the next-gen is forced to scrape data that includes AI generated data) and hallucinations are always going to be the reality for them.

It’s why there’s this big push over the last couple of years to get these products to market. Not because you’re going to corner some burgeoning industry (though the hype definitely is designed to look like that), but because this is a grift now and you have to get the goods while there’s still goods to get. Need to recoup those R&D dollars somehow.

Pieces of shit

Yeah, but the person is speaking to you using their vocabulary that they use day-to-day. Sure, they could pick whatever other words they want to, but doing so would fall outside of their usual vocabulary and, therefore, takes more effort than just “replace the part of this word I normally use that’s blocked by censor”. You can tie yourself into knots trying to avoid censored words and also this new requirement of only using a word by using that word.

The point, as I see it, of “don’t use the word if you’re not going to use the word” is “don’t inconvenience me with your language, inconvenience yourself in order to not inconvenience me.” Sounds like a path to everyone second guessing everything they say in order to accommodate whatever desire other people wish to interject on your choice of words. Which, doesn’t sound very live más to me. Very un-taco bell of you (I have no idea what happened in that last part of my statement)

Edit: easiest way to say it: you clearly knew what word they meant so why are you making a stink about it not matching exactly to that word?

I mean, I understand what you’re saying and it is true here on lemmy, but it is absolutely not the case that you don’t have to self-censor on the internet. I mean, you can choose to not to, but some systems will just never show your contribution to the conversation to anyone (ex. tiktok, Facebook, YouTube, etc). So people practice self-censorship to engage with those platforms and then it becomes a part of their online vocabulary.

So, you don’t need to self-censor here on lemmy, but you also shouldn’t give anyone flak for doing so.

Umm, ffs, if I used that right.
