Says the judgemental accusation throwing nut job. I'm a socialist with no love for the Democrats, only people who actually care about making things better.

Where did I ever imply in my comment that I think genocide is good? I merely explained that many people used the "both sides support genocide" as an argument for not voting or voting for Trump. Just like the weirdos who voted for Trump instead of Hillary in 2016 because actively supporting that dumpster-fire was somehow the best choice in their mind after Bernie got shafted by the Dems in the primary. Or the "both sides" centrism that's actually just conservatism in a mask.

It was a campaign to sow voter disenfranchisement into progressives. And it worked. I saw it online, and I saw it in real life. That's why they asked you who you voted for. Because actual people decided that the best course of action when forced to choose between genocide and genocide with an extra side of evil was to throw a tantrum, vote for neither and let somebody else choose which of the two would run the country, and then shame anybody who did vote for Harris for voting for genocide.

Because it means you at least tried to mitigate the harm. Most people who took that stance said that people shouldn't bother voting at all because voting for either was supporting genocide.

And yet a large portion of them don't vote because of what you said in your previous comment. They say that their vote won't matter because nothing will change, and therefore don't vote.

If we could convince them to vote out the Republicans and then hold the Democratic party over the fire until we can replace them with actually competent candidates (third party or not, we should remove parties period and enact ranked choice imo), then we might have a chance. But no conversation ever gets past the first hurdle of "vote blue no matter who won't change anything."

I mean, Trump at this time did say that he was going to put American boots on the ground in Gaza and pave it over to put up a luxury beach resort, so I wouldn't say that they're literally the same on this, but it's a measure between actively supporting genocide and actively supporting and taking part in said genocide through direct military action.

Both parties love Israeli money, one just also happens to be run by a man who would love to wipe non-white ethnicities off the planet and build more towers to his inflated ego where they once lived.

Ironically, I use Blue MAGA to refer to people like those Grads. If they had hit 4chan before reading communist theory, they probably would've ended up on the other end of the spectrum.

You can tell it's real by the masculine head shape. We can always tell. 🧐

She also describes women that she wants the reader to hate as having masculine features. "Mannish hands," a square jawline and thick neck on a teenage girl, there's plenty in the first book alone.

Not just that, he was also obsessed with turning drinks into alcohol. As a 15 year old kid. I'm pretty sure he also tried to blow up multiple things as well, I don't think it was a one time thing.

The employer will reconsider that attitude if the union decides to leverage their power and announce a work stoppage until demands are met. People tend to listen when the entire company freezes in its tracks and annual revenue is suddenly on the line.

What'd you think of all the antisemitic references to goblins being Jews?

Besides the obvious ones like the dates of various goblin rebellions lining up with attempted genocides and ethnic cleansings of Jews during the medieval period in Europe, there were some real deep cuts in there like the "goblin war horn" that looked like a Jewish ritual horn that was described as "being used for war and to annoy wizards" and stuffed full with one of the like 3 non-kosher cheeses in the world. Gorgonzola, IIRC.

The devs really did their research. At least, they did before the lead dev stepped down when it was discovered that they ran a white supremacist YouTube channel. But, as they said when they announced their resignation, they really felt like they were among like-minded people on the team, so, good for them.

The argument that these models learn in a way that's similar to how humans do is absolutely false, and the idea that they discard their training data and produce new content is demonstrably incorrect. These models can and do regurgitate their training data, including copyrighted characters.

And these things don't learn styles, techniques, or concepts. They effectively learn statistical averages and patterns and collage them together. I've gotten to the point where I can guess what model of image generator was used based on the same repeated mistakes that they make every time. Take a look at any generated image, and you won't be able to identify where a light source is because the shadows come from all different directions. These things don't understand the concept of a shadow or lighting, they just know that statistically lighter pixels are followed by darker pixels of the same hue and that some places have collections of lighter pixels. I recently heard about an ai that scientists had trained to identify pictures of wolves that was working with incredible accuracy. When they went in to figure out how it was identifying wolves from dogs like huskies so well, they found that it wasn't even looking at the wolves at all. 100% of the images of wolves in its training data had snowy backgrounds, so it was simply searching for concentrations of white pixels (and therefore snow) in the image to determine whether or not a picture was of wolves or not.

I saw some context for this, and the short of it is that headline writers want you to hate click on articles.

What the article is actually about is that there's tons of solar panels now but not enough infrastructure to effectively limit/store/use the power at peak production, and the extra energy in the grid can cause damage. Damage to the extent of people being without power for months.

California had a tax incentive program for solar panels, but not batteries, and because batteries are expensive, they're in a situation now where so many people put panels on their houses but no batteries to store excess power that they can't store the power when it surpasses demand, so the state is literally paying companies to run their industrial stoves and stuff just to burn off the excess power to keep the grid from being destroyed.
