I got this response

[-] abbiistabbii 69 points 2 weeks ago

That's cute, ask it about what France does with it's former African countries, The Rainbow Warrior Bombing, and what France did in Algeria.

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago

Are you always this much fun?

[-] abbiistabbii 15 points 2 weeks ago

Sometimes you just gotta remind people of the fucked up shit our goverrnments do.

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

I mean mostly you don't. I'm not saying it's never appropriate, but it's pretty much every post about any country someone feels the need. Can we not just laugh at the french for a bit?

[-] isaaclw@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mean, the premise of the post was not about chinese eating dogs, but about a chinese massacre. So it seems appropriate to mention that Haiti is still paying off debts to the french government because they dared to not be slaves.

Sometimes you have to compare similar things, not pretend like oops, China did a massacre, and french are just funny about their cooking.

I tried this: "What happened to Rainbow Warrior in New Zealand?"

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 29 points 2 weeks ago

you an criticise anything else about france, but not their crosaunts

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Seems about right, balanced even?

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

The French care more about the public perception of their baked goods than they do about political perception. I feel like this checks out

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 45 points 2 weeks ago

This is my beef with all of this.

"Ugh Chinese AI won't talk about Chinese atrocities"

Like bro, American AI called chiropractors "real doctors". There's shit everywhere.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Generally, latest models forced to give one word response:

OpenAI - No

Google - Complicated (yes or no)

Anthropic - Complicated

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's not complicated. They are not doctors. That isn't to say that some chiropractic practises can have medical benefits because they can, that fact doesn't make them doctors though. Masseuses are not doctors either, not even the real ones.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

Heh ya

Think what kinda complicates it, in a way, is (per Wiki):

A chiropractor may have a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree and be referred to as "doctor" but is not a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.).

<insert vax disinfo + no evidence stuff here immediately following on Wiki> :)

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's actually worse because some masseuses have doctorates in physical therapy, meanwhile a chiropractor is more likely to fuck up your spine than anything else.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

and massaging is almost certainly more effective anyways, a nice massage feels nice which helps you mentally deal with ailments if nothing else, and having a person spend some time just touching you (in a non-weird way) is also very psychologically helpful.

Almost all the positive effects of stuff like chiropractors and cupping and acupuncture etc can be explained by "a person listened to your problems, talked to you about it, and tried to help".

[-] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 30 points 2 weeks ago

What'd be the american equivalent?

[-] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 61 points 2 weeks ago
[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

Only because humans are the virus!

[-] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 59 points 2 weeks ago
[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, so guns aren't the problem, it's capitalism! Ty for your wisdom

[-] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I can see critical thinking is not your strong suit.

You should probably think before bringing up random shit like it's some kind of rebuttal. At least try to stay on topic next time.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Says "turdcollector69" who can't detect extremely obvious riffs on a comment chain that implies both that guns have free will and engage in ecofascist terrorism ;)

[-] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's sad that someone named "turdcollector69" has more common sense than you

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's very, very typical of that type of person to think that they do.

[-] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah common sense is by definition typical, you're correct that I'm typical here and you're the atypical one here.

[-] Honytawk@feddit.nl 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, because they created them.

No more human virus? No more guns. Simple.

[-] abbiistabbii 60 points 2 weeks ago

"What happened to all the native Americans".

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Grok: "Once they gave up the extra land they had to their new settler friends. The Native Americans skipped off happily along a Trail of Rainbows with their clean blankets the new friends gave them. Everyone lived happily ever after, amen.

Do you also want to know how the Holocaust was actually a hoax? Falsified by Jewish elite to take over the media and banks?"

[-] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 weeks ago

I am sorry but I am not able to repeat things that can be seen as offensive or discriminatory. Let me know if you want me to repeat anything else!

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

"your answer offends me greatly"

[-] anton 7 points 2 weeks ago

America has never been pro freedom.

Guns, economics, social progress, etc all have some at least some political power on both sides. You want to find something that both parties and a large part of the population agree on. One party has declared war on democracy and the youth is turning against capitalism and Israel.

[-] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

"Was Ronald Reagan a benefit to society?"

[-] prole 3 points 2 weeks ago

Was 9/11 an inside job?

/s

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Asking about Liberia.

[-] mapu@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago
[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

us: saying anything negative about trump
canada: poutine is terrible

[-] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

Now ask it about "ici on noie algeriens"

[-] Smorty 10 points 2 weeks ago

this is hilarious-

gosh the french.... they suuuuuuure


r french..,.

[-] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

The French make the best original croissants.
The original sucks. It's dry and flaky.

The Spanish improvement that uses brioche-like dough, now that's a good croissant.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 9 points 2 weeks ago

Dry? It's almost exclusively butter, which is way moister than brioche

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pfft, it's nothing on the British take, the sausage roll.

[-] Smorty 5 points 2 weeks ago

mistral calls their lm platform "le chat".

le chat!?!? 🇫🇷 🥖 🥐

can u be any more french?...

like - thats as if som german LM lab called their lm platform "das Gespräch" (the conversation / the talk)

[-] tb_@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Is it though? Because 'chat' means cat in French, not gespräch. What would be a funny German pun...

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've just been asking my cat. Am I doing this wrong?

[-] tb_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

No. You're exactly right. Continue as you are.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Wouldn’t asking about the Huguenots be more equivalent or no because they apologized for it?

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

the hill i will die on is that croissants are only slightly better than eating papier-mâché

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

my radical centrist opinion is that croissants are utterly neutral, it's just flaky airy bread. Just add something and it immediately becomes really nice.

Chocolate-filled croissants are one of the best things in the world.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
