There is a lot of money in the supplements grift, which are not vetted by the FDA, and would require a dismantling of public trust in research and Healthcare in order for the public to completely buy into. The amount of anti-science pro-supplement ads I've been seeing are insane.

Wouldn't be surprised if they're shitting their pants about the potential of republican control not allowing them to operate internationally at their current scale i.e. filming abroad, international spending, etc. That and filming equipment rising in price due to tariffs cutting into profit margins.

I love the Watto smut flying around right now. Genuinely. Reminds me of late 2010s shitposting and I miss that stuff. However, WHAT IS THE LORE BEHIND THIS? I NEED TO KNOW WHAT INSPIRED IT ALL!

Hahha don't get me wrong, I love this stuff. I'm just curious what inspired it? I need the lore 😅.

2) And the fact so many ppl want sympathy for themselves with AI, but don't see how the same happened for musicians when synths came out, and appear to be struggling with understanding that and having empathy for them, is fucking insane.
Xailai (@xailai.bsky.social) reply parent
1) Wow, just read thru the comments. Jfc. Tbh I didn't quite grasp the point of consistency when applied to synths, i interpreted it as the reverse since synths have been widely accepted, but for SURE musicians lost their jobs and felt replaced by synths.
Xailai (@xailai.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree with this. Especially in the early days, you can really tell the difference between synth sounds mimicking real instruments, but now it's almost impossible to tell. An entire orchestra literally at ur fingertips. AI is a tool, and we need to discuss it as such.

I'm talking about the money Sam Altman has made from the grift, not the product. AI in it's current use offers little actual value on a large scale, but Altman has made a ton off of govt contracts and grifting.

I've started reporting dumbass articles like the 'dogs ruining the environment' one as 'sensational or misleading'. We need to do that en masse for that kind of bs.

Lol no. Again, this is harmless, but there are plenty of videos where animals are abused for 'cute' content and i think it's important people look for cues in that context.

There's a person in the reflection of the mirror giving hand commands that the dog is looking for. The person is hidden from the angle of the camera. Harmless, but the dog is definitely not admiring itself in the mirror.

"I'm genuinely curious" or “just asking questions” is often code for "I'm going to try to waste your time with semantic, pedantic nonsense, and I'll use your answers to spread misleading disinformation and outright lies." This isn’t always true, but if I think you're doing it, you're gone.

Yeah, a really good thing to point out is that people in Ireland don't like it when Americans refer to themselves as Irish either, cause they don't view being Irish as an ethnicity. So it's all just bunk tbh.

I'm sorry, but owning 12 books kills more trees than a GPU rendering hair follicles on ur console or computer. In fact, this new rendering process takes LESS processing power (less energy).

No, you said that 'our country is over' cause a handful of low level dems had to go back to the Texas house. If our country relied on a handful of low level dems to defend it, it was already gone, cause it implies you had already given up and have become a passive observer.

I would argue that democracy actually explicitly allows people to defend their country from presidents, and that's the entire point. It's a marker of how well the people can defend their country from a president that indicates the health of a democracy.

This is also a play to force a ruling in the courts that mid-census redistricting is unconstitutional. Dems should know by now that the courts would likely shoot this down if THEY bring it up, then BAM, red states can't gerrymander mid census anymore.
Xailai (@xailai.bsky.social) reply parent
You're looking right at it. Gerrymandering is literally how they get re elected every time.
Xailai (@xailai.bsky.social) reply parent
Do it. Escalate it to the point where courts have to strike it down so Texas can't do it and create precedent for no mid-census redistricting. Force the ruling.

I get it's a joke, but if we want to be real, the reach of America's hegemonic empire and the lust for more has spread america incredibly thin over the past 50 yrs. There have only been subtle differences at home between dems and reps for decades now, abroad they may as well be the same.

From experience working at Barnes and Noble myself, the unfortunate truth is; once businesses stopped letting their bathrooms be open to the public, homeless people started peeing on the couches and chairs. Taking away basics for homeless people means no one can have nice things in public spaces.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.
