This looks like Bing Image Creator. It’s gotten way too adherent to prompts for my comfort level. This one is crazy.

In the scientific and medical world in which these things are relevant, words absolutely mean things. Good lord…

nO, sHe’S nOt.

Yes, she is.

you are voting for putting people in prison for marijuana.

Harris has made Cannabis legalization a campaign promise.

You are voting for a party that will pretend to care only to watch key legislation die because 2 senators said “no”, despite being from the party that claimed to want the change.

You are literally complaining about democracy here. If you want more “yes” votes, elect more Democrats.

You vote for 2 more years of a locked government. There is no solution to the problems the 2 parties have created by voting for either of them. Nothing ever gets permanently better under either Democrat or Republican. They are the problem.

Democrats bring progress, and Republicans bring regression. I don’t see how not voting is a solution to this problem. If you want progress, vote for the people who bring it.

Don’t use Geordi to support your ruling class. Geordi comes from a world that got rid of boomer parties and they run the freaking galaxy.

Star Trek isn’t real.

How dare one political party oppose another political party! It completely flies in the face of what an election is supposed to be about. /s

How could anyone ever scam anyone with a Truth Social post? The posts are called “truths” that means they must be true!

Look who really owns Twitter. It’s the people who loaned Musk money for his buyout.

Who is top of that list? Saudi Arabia.

And now Twitter is fully in service to the Republican party? Sounds like foreign electoral intervention to me…

My experience with BlueSky has been that it is better than Twitter because it is smaller and doesn’t cater to the far-right.

BUT…

It can become extremely toxic very fast because they implemented the same poorly executed features Twitter did that fucked things up. In fact, it’s way worse than that…

The two features they copied from Twitter that hurt them the most are site-wide search and quote posts. Site-wide search enables people to “namesearch” or to monitor keywords for issues they want to fight about. Quote posts are a well understood “dunk mechanism”, that largely encourages dogpiling.

As for being free of a central algorithm, that seems good, until you see that there are tons of community algorithms you can subscribe to instead. Now there are algorithms for things like “anti-Zionist posts” and “pro-Israel posts”, which not only let people find their preferred echo-chamber, but also provide trolls access to exactly the groups of people they want to argue with or harass.

These algorithms can be built to detect certain hashtags and phrases, or they can just be big lists of accounts like a Twitter group. There’s no telling when you might show up in one of these algorithms or why.

As a result, if you say anything less than agreeable about any issue, there’s a chance you’re going to hear from a bunch of accounts you’ve never met before, regardless of what side of an issue you are on, or how extreme your view actually is.

I don’t recommend it. It’s a pro-profit company that seeks to be a wholesale replacement for Twitter. AT Proto federation is a complete joke, it’ll never expand if it doesn’t have a flagship open source server. They’ll give up on it just like Twitter did and just be another centralized, toxic, microblogging community.

You’re the one being disingenuous. The issue here isn’t related to the word “addiction” vs. “dependence”.

This issue is the use of the word “physical”, which you seem to be deliberately avoiding offering any explanation for.

Tik Tok cannot be physically addictive, because “physical addiction” is exclusively related to physical substances, like alcohol, recreational drugs, and medications. You cannot physically consume Tik Tok and become chemically addicted to it.

One could become addicted to the stimulation of Tik Tok, or dependent on it emotionally, but they literally cannot become physically addicted to or dependent on it unless “Tik Tok” is actually a slang term for a drug or something…

Mount an e-ink display with a rotating slideshow of different images on your car until they have a record of your car having thousands of different bumper stickers.

Eh, Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah all have the right to exist, and to defend themselves. But we have to define that pretty strictly.

Carpet-bombing Gaza isn’t defense.

Slaughtering music festival attendees is not defense.

Indiscriminate bomb planting and destination is not defense.

Shooting up a train station is not defense.

Bombing hospitals and aid trucks is not defense.

I draw the line at deliberately or recklessly killing civilians.

She’s backing Trump. Trump wants Israel to finish the job.

I think they call that physical dependence?

Explain the difference between “physical addiction” and “physical dependence”.

What does “physical” mean in regards to the former?

It’s hard to believe, but Martha ends up doing a lot of collateral damage in this one.

I suppose there’s an argument that supes aren’t really “good guys”, but that traditional good vs. bad dichotomy isn’t really the point of the show.

Is Tik Tok a physical substance entering your body? Just making sure we’re talking about the same thing.

I remember back when Hexbear had “no sectarianism” in their rules, but were actively tearing themselves apart internally over whether or not non-Vegans were “real leftists”.

You don’t ever have to worry about Tankies actually organizing. People like that don’t know how anything works well enough for that.

Oh wow, you mean a shitcoin was really a scam? What amazing journalists these are. What next, will they expose the wetness of water?

Also, what the fuck with that comment section? It just reaffirms that Odysee is YouTube for Nazis…

You are surprised that the darkweb chat client has Nazis on it?
