Well a billionaire commanded we argue about copyright law. I guess we need to expend our energy and build enough momentum so that Musk can grab more power during the turmoil.

Trumpers did their part by arguing about free speech. Time to tap into our issues with IP laws and help Musk too!

Imagine using all the recipes known to man to build a chef bot that can cook “both types of cuisine.”

Or wait, maybe the implication is that the bot only made edible food before, and now it can make the other kind too?

What’s the opposite of “concentrating on remembering something strengthens neuron pathways”?

Nazis: If you support LGBT you’re a pedophile. And we’re already coming for you.

People, for some fucking reason: Pedophiles get fucked, do what you want to them, erase them at any cost!!

“Please hold this paper target in front of your face while I shoot at it.”

“Sounds dangerous but I see you are aiming at the paper so I should be fine.”

I’m making fun of the juxtaposition of people that express frustration/animosity for Windows with the need to stay on Windows in order to consume cutting edge video games.

It gets to be comical. Something about the “height” difference. Like you have the giant “They’re taking away my ownership of my data and my very computer!” standing next to little old “But I like my raytracing.”

“My data is being exposed in the name of corporate AI!” next to “But I can’t play games with anticheat with my friends.” It’s funny. I’m going to laugh.

“Sucking off Bill Gates is bad, but Linux doesn’t support video games”

That’s weird – we water our soil with nutrients like “there’s no point in voting”, “they’re all out to get us”, “politicians are shit”, “nothing changes”, “governments are bad”.

I wonder why people haven’t been motivated to fight. Whenever they express faith in our leaders, or institutions, or have any positivity, we’re quick to shut them down. But still.

I was thinking more along the lines of “install and play this free unity game while it siphons personal data off your computer and sends it back to epic servers”

They’re specifically getting something of value in return for the good or service and then claiming it’s free and that customers are not customers, merely “users.”

a shift in conservative culture

independent poll that shows 34% being against a trans character

conservative terrorists are the greatest threat domestically

I guess Nazis saying “I’ll fucking kill you and your kids you woke traitor” and then Americans being afraid to participate in democracy does qualify as a shift towards conservativism.

I don’t get how something is allowed to be labeled “free” when the terms of usage make you barter your data.

Why not couch the article as “a vulnerability was found and patched” instead of “something bad could have happened”?

“STORE COULD HAVE BEEN ROBBED!! A bystander noticed the door wasn’t locked, with the owner realizing he hadn’t been locking it correctly. There is no evidence anyone broke in.”

News in the porcelain village in Oz.

Gender is a human construct. Please, list your sex like an animal.

Also Weinstein hiring Black Cube to discredit his accusers. Black Cube is all ex spies and sophisticated malware. Fusion centers are all about parallel reconstruction. Taking on a corp / billionaire (the legal way) means going up against a nation state level threat.

Like I said I was starting on “step 2” where you start with internal + external analyses = a result. A system is what is written and what is lived, I just assume it’s where we start in politics / economics / whatever. What is prescribed is a simple data point. That’s why I looked at the statements “Cuba is X, for proof here’s the governments website” as absurd. I didn’t realize people were speaking about hypotheticals, and reacted at the idea that someone would use that kind of logic to explain how something functions in reality.

I think I’m mixing up your statement of a basic datum, the way Cuba is written to be, with the idea that it’s indicative of what you’ll likely find. Hence, I was skeptical of the utility of using the written system as meaningful to the statement that Cuba was democratic. Like if people are going to talk about that, I assume it’s not a technicality they are referring to, they are talking about real people living in a real country… so what good is the official parties word on how things are operating?

Also didn’t even realize you were the same person from the other thread, didn’t mean to show up here and bother you.

I’m not complaining, I’m giving you a relevant example of where these labels come from. It’s .ml and .world and I just don’t have any recent memory of this on .world. I’m sure there’s an example or two, just not recent.

I was silent because I wasn’t sure what people were saying. I don’t think people who disagree with what I say are necessarily misinformed, or less intelligent, or mean. So it comes down to how I am certain people (including you) know that what is written on paper and what flows in reality are not 1:1 matches. But they tell me something they wouldn’t accept if they were in my shoes.

Maybe that skepticism sounds ridiculous? But if structure is important and reality can be different and everyone knows this I think it’s odd to see officially meaningless official material in the room. Why can’t we throw it out?

Edit: imagine we’re pointing out that America is controlled by billionaires and someone links the official site saying “No, it’s still three branches and the will of the people.” You toss it immediately.

The other day I was on all and ended up reading a comment chain and saw something like “Cuba is a democracy, and for proof just look at the official website of the central party.”

I found it ridiculous to essentially say “Doug is a skilled electrician, for proof look at this note Doug wrote saying he’s a skilled electrician.”

This made me a dirty shitlib (I guess the instance I signed up on makes me a liberal). The reaction seemed intense so I checked and it was .ml, so I assume it’s a rivalry thing.

You’ll see me venting and shitting on eg conservatives but I don’t go around calling people these things. You probably don’t either. But clearly there are users categorizing us into labels and associating us with our instances regardless of merit.

All I ask for is the truth. That’s why I’m called tankie, liberal, Nazi, commie, Trumper, imperialist, hippie. I get bent out of shape when people sling lies and it causes me to become whatever boogeyman they’re turning around in their head.

Did you comb my posts to figure out I’m a liberal? I’m pro India, pro USA, pro China, pro Russia, (making it simple so you can digest it) so it’s weird you got liberal.

I’m flabbergasted that the official website of a political entity is being touted as evidence that the political entity isn’t perceived correctly.

Forget about Cuba, or politics, or class, everything. This is not how you find the truth. What’s the thing I’m not thinking of that’s throwing things off balance? Why would someone link to North Korea’s official website to argue that North Korea is not so bad? What’s the use and whose it for?
