the US a terrorist nation for couping democratically elected leader in favour of dictators for over a hundred years

Is this really true?

Thanks. It's a part of history I know very little about.

I meant the "for over a hundred years" part specifically, I bolded it but it's not as noticeable as it should be.

Germans excused Holocaust by... saying that it would prevent trans genocide?

This is too stupid even for a troll.

Frankly this comes off almost as a conspiracy theory. Christian art in Europe developed its typical imagery when the vast majority of Europeans could have no direct contact with non-Europeans, before colonialism or coherent ideas about racial identities, when far-off lands were thought to be occupied by one-legged giants...

Then, you end up finishing the game

I.e. you do win...

Reminds me of the "help me budget this" meme.

"Have fewer genocides."

"No."

AI LLMs simply are better at surfacing it

Ok, but how exactly? Is there some magical emergent property of LLMs that guides them to filter out the garbage from the quality content?

And that's more or less what I was aiming for, so we're back at square one. What you wrote is in line with my first comment:

it is a weak compliment for AI, and more of a criticism of the current web search engines

The point is that there isn't something that makes AI inherently superior to ordinary search engines. (Personally I haven't found AI to be superior at all, but that's a different topic.) The difference in quality is mainly a consequence of some corporate fuckery to wring out more money from the investors and/or advertisers and/or users at the given moment. AI is good (according to you) just because search engines suck.

At this point I'm impressed by how much effort Twitter devs must've have put into making the site shittier and less accessible.

Absolutely the correct stance, nothing dirty about it. At this point, for better and for worse, the Internet is a basic necessity. Imagine having your water turned off because you threw water balloons at your neighbour.

I do have to admit it's a bit disheartening to post that pic, and then people react to it by looking how to use the objects to 'hack' the nature of reality.

They don't really believe Russia is socialist to any degree, they just support it because it (supposedly) opposes the western hegemony, USA/NATO, etc.

Basically the same logic as that of pro-Russian right-wingers.

Why of course, I sure can't wait until Israelis genocide Palestinians and finally make the region way more LGBT-friendly, God bless. 🫡

I do have to wonder what do people who claim things like these think of LGBTs who participate in right-wing political parties in the west. Are they bothered by such hypocrisy too?

Huh? He couldn't not travel to Russia, he's a Russian.

I don't expect them to do literally anything. Wagner is now dispersed across Belarus, Russia and Africa; those in Belarus and Russia don't have their heavy equipment anymore (taken away after the coup). Their leadership is decapitated, the two most important people in the PMC are dead along with several other higher-ups. The coup from 2 months ago wasn't endorsed by the whole PMC, it's been estimated that Prigo had only around 8k people with him - so today you should expect even fewer to rebel.

The "best" they might be able to achieve is some terrorism. But they're not trained for terrorism, so for them it's probably best to keep their heads low.

You can simply block NSFW, you can do it in your settings

By the time you finished making this snarky meme, you could've set up a program to OCR a book yourself.

She committed war crimes in Bosnia. He committed war crimes on Kosovo. Can I make it any more obvious?

Look at the hands in the upper corners, looks pretty AI-ish.

Downvoting makes comments less visible. So downvoting is the equivalent of taping someone’s mouth shut because you don’t agree with them. Is that really what you are trying to do?

This is ridiculous, especially the comparison with physical violence. Upvoting a comment also makes all the other comments less visible, by promoting the comment you've picked, taking up the place where some other comment could've been. Nobody's mouth is taped shut by either upvoting or downvoting, all the comments are still visible, it's just that their order will be determined by the upvotes and downvotes - and removing the latter from the equation won't negate the "discrimination" (comment sorting) created by the former.

I learned about furries' existence on 4chan many years ago, and I definitely don't think that site was healthy at any point in time.

But where is the air vent, the fan, and Saddam?

Smh the background/flag isn't gold-black stripes 🤦‍♂️

Let's be honest people's brains absolutely can turn off when they appear on a quiz. It's a weird and stressful situation. Especially if you remember that all of your mistakes will be broadcast to millions of people and commented on and intensely scrutinized.

This. In the west among the younger generations, sure, Facebook is outdated/dead. Among other generations, and across much of the world, it is still almost as essential as email.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Zero

A criticism also stated that Facebook is practicing digital colonialism because it is not introducing open internet but building a "little web that turns the user into a mostly passive consumer of mostly western corporate content”.

An article by Christopher Mims in Quartz in September 2012 stated that Facebook Zero played a very important role in Facebook's expansion in Africa over the 18 months following the release of Facebook Zero, noting that data charges could be a significant component of mobile usage cost and the waiving of these charges reduced a significant disincentive for people in Africa to use Facebook.

To me as a kid with a rudimentary phone and little pocket money, this was also how I got onto and used to access Facebook.

Basically yes (though it's probably not a flash game), diep.io

ISIS doing sick combos

“You’re prohibited from reproducing it, making a derivative work of it, distributing it without authorization, or that is to say distributing anything that isn’t the one copy you already lawfully have, and various other things. Making a public display of it, making a public performance of it, which opens up all kinds of fascinating possibilities here.”

Am I crazy or does this mean every single newspaper that has reproduced the photo (i.e. probably the majority of political newspapers in the entire world) should have asked Fulton county Sheriff's Office for permission to do it?

anti-capitalism gets classified as a mental sickness

It doesn't. People are making shit up. From Wikipedia:

The fourth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV-TR) (now replaced by DSM-5) states that a person must exhibit four out of the eight signs and symptoms to meet the diagnostic threshold for ODD. These symptoms include:

• Often loses temper

• Is often touchy or easily annoyed

• Is often angry and resentful

• Often argues with authority figures or, for children and adolescents, with adults

• Often actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules

• Often deliberately annoys others

• Often blames others for their mistakes or misbehavior

• Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past six months

These behaviors are mostly directed towards an authority figure such as a teacher or a parent. Although these behaviors can be typical among siblings, they must be observed with individuals other than siblings for an ODD diagnosis. Children with ODD can be verbally aggressive. However, they do not display physical aggressiveness, a behavior observed in conduct disorder. Furthermore, they must be perpetuated for longer than six months and must be considered beyond a normal child's age, gender and culture to fit the diagnosis. For children under five years of age, they must occur on most days over a period of six months. For children over five years of age, they must occur at least once a week for at least six months. If symptoms are confined to only one setting, most commonly home, it is considered mild in severity. If it is observed in two settings, it is characterized as moderate, and if the symptoms are observed in three or more settings, it is considered severe.

Is this how you express your anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian stances?

That's fucking hilarious, if true.

Even the most fascist redfash still would have killed the nazis.

They'd kill who they define as nazis. I find that tankies' (especially Hexbear) definition of nazism doesn't entirely correspond to mine or that of most other people. So this is not something to be super optimistic about.

As a EU citizen - no thanks, unless you get like ten seats in the EU parliament at most.

The Kamala promotion online is becoming increasingly disturbing.

Does the picture imply that the two desires are contradictory?

Personally, I talk with my best friend like once a month...

Produce infinite copies of bread loaves, and then get arrested because the baker lobby doesn't like that.

What's your point here? Is googling supposed to be a lottery of good and shit results?

Umm... return to tradition, I guess??

A fun detail: this was written by a woman, priestess Enheduanna, the first writer that we know of by name.

Do not Google "HIV/AIDS in Russia", do not Google "HIV/AIDS in Russia", do not Google "HIV/AIDS in Russia"...
