This sarcasm is completely unwarranted.

People recognized that random answers on the internet were inclined to be from questionable sources. AI answers provide a sense of authority to what is being said, and then backs up that sense of authority with speech patterns and confidence which we are trained to trust in.

Web searches were naturally met with a sense of scrutiny, but LLMs lean into habits and patterns that convince us it is right, often subtly.

I can’t believe that the man is a convicted rapist, but it’s gas prices rising that causes him to lose support.

Don’t worry, the accelerationists have been promising that letting everything get way worse will lead to genuine change. I’m sure they’ll be starting that socialist uprising any day now!

Aaaaany day now…

Tangential, but what’s the go-to mobile app for Piefed? I’ve long made an account, but I just log into Lemmy still because when I am at my PC, I have better things to do than laugh at tankies, and on mobile, there’s a button on my device that brings me to Lemmy. I’m not sure what shiny new button to replace it with, and realistically the sooner I can stop using tools created by fascists in socialist clothing, the better.

I’m currently using Jerboa for Lemmy, though I am not married to any of its features.

Zelensky IS a zionist ffs

Sure, whatever. He could be. The post I was responding to didn’t prove that, which is the only point I have made, so I am not sure what your goal here is.

And thus a nazi.

These are two exclusive ideologies; please stop using the word “nazi” as a stand in for fascist and/or genocidal maniac. You cannot believe in the German Ubermensch and the eradication of the Jewish people while also believing in God given Jewish sovereignty. Words means things.

I don’t get it, did I offend your primary account in the past? Did I earn myself an angry tanky stalker? The misdirection and whataboutism reeks of obsessing about winning an argument rather than assessing the truth. Your last point seems to be some form of attempt at arguing that, because I am posting from a .ca instance, I’m on the side of genocidal supremecy, though it’s hard to tell, because that first sentence is literally gibberish. It’s a good thing you borrowed a well-worded analogy, otherwise I might genuinely have had no idea what it is you’re trying to communicate. But honestly, it’s so pointlessly ungrounded and irrelevent that it just reads like you’re mad at me for some reason and spewing whatever form of biased vitriol you can dredge up.

This is not the gotcha that you seem to think it is.

I read the section relevant to the argument in full. I read introductory sentences throughout to make sure I wasn’t missing important context. The source provided makes no attempt to prove the things claimed, simply stating them as fact, without evidence. The rise of zionism in the Ukraine in the 1800s does not make Zelensky a zionist, and definitely doesn’t make him a nazi, and as interesting as it is, I don’t have time to learn the social-religious history of every nation to deconstruct Lemmy arguments.

Please make sure the entire article is relevant to the discussion at hand before you start aimlessly accusing others of being hypocrits.

…did you actually read your link? I admittedly only read the intro, then skipped down to the discussion of Zionism in the Ukraine in the modern era, when it brings up Zelensky, but literally the only “information” in there is a series of contradictory statements with zero evidence for any of them, and then an irrelevent conclusion. It reads like an answer one of my poorly performing junior high students would write when they didn’t actually read the story we’re discussing. “Zelensky is totally a Zionist because he’s jewish. Yes, he has focused on his state, making it as great as he can, and otherwise has shown no indication that he thinks the Jewish people should own Palestine, but that’s totally Zionist thought! He even said Israel should do thinks for his country, meaning he must be pro-Israel! No, I don’t need sources, quotes or other verifiable information, just trust me bro!” I mean, are you for real?

It’s hard for you to claim others are being dishonest when it’s clear you haven’t, or possibly can’t, read the “sources” you’re posting.

You’re looking for Against the Storm.

It’s a rogue-like city-builder with goals that you meet and complete in order to move on to the next set of unique challenges. You’ll be faced with unique sets of challenges per biome, unique race-based sets of needs, and times events that need to be dealt with or their consequences will have to be mitigated.

As someone in the school system, this is both true and heartbreaking. We simply do not have the correct supports in place to provide a safe environment for all students when studentswith complex needs are present, and it always comes down to the same thing: money. The personel isn’t there, the supervision isn’t there, the training isn’t there and the policy isn’t there. We need specialists. We need people attending to the complex needs. They cannot be a time-sink for classroom teachers, untrained in dealing with students with complex needs, who already have students fighting, stealing each others stuff and otherwise misbehaving. And when someone calls out, there needs to be a plan in place other than “call mom and tell them to come pick up their kid.”

Smaller class sizes, having specialists available and in place, and clear policy are all required to give the students the inclusive environment they need without actively detreacting from, and in some cases even endangering, all children in the classroom. When one of the less well-behaved kids takes advantage of the classroom teachers attention being placed on the student with complex needs whose support staff called out sick and does something stupid resulting in harm to themselves, or others in the class, who do you think winds up with blame? Spoiler: it’s not the district, and it’s not the government.

The whole issue breaks my heart, because the only winning move is “please stop under funding schools and passing the blame,” which falls on deaf ears, or worse, becomes a part of the “starve the beast” strategy pushing towards privatization.

Just like the far-right of the west, they believe in rule by perceived merit. They just have a different idea of what merit looks like.

Unfortunately, rule by a small privileged class is oligarchy at best, fascism at worst, regardless of what system of merit you use to define who should rule. Not that they’ll ever grasp that.

.mk lives rent free in their heads.

9/10 times it’s someone from .ca

You don’t even need to work to find the projection. He just offers it up.

I remember when trolling meant something! It used to be about making people mad, evolving emotion, and getting them embroiled in embarrassing positions they can’t take back! Now it’s just saying wrong thing and being politely corrected!

As a huge Cassette Beasts fan, agreed. They didn’t attempt to imitate the (superior imo) explosive bomb design, with the tail as the fuse and the black fur turning to jagged red to imitate an explosion.

Pomeranians exist. What a twist.

Honestly, knowing the platform was rooted in tankie ideology, it was never going to be good. It just took many of us way too long to see it.

At this point it’s how I kill time on the can. That’s tbh all it deserves.

Piefed.

I am not.

A meme is, by definition, something that is being copied, spread and reused. In order for this to be an “original meme,” it needs to be the origin of a new meme format, which will then be copied and iterated on, usually by re-using the language or re-using the physical format.

You just posted your shitty opinion in speech bubbles and called it a meme, because you don’t know what a meme is.

You’re not old too old; OP just doesn’t know what a meme is.

Canada has in fact deeply fucked up with it’s indigenous population, though the specifics of just how deeply the graves left by the residential schools go is something that seems to shift every time I dig into it. There’s no debate that the Canadian state killed a lot of indigenous people’s though.

However, that doesn’t have anything to do with correctly identifying the Russian disminformation machine. Even in some kind of “whataboutism” argument, Canada has legally taken blame for those deaths and created the entire Truth and Reconciliation movement to start trying to set things right. Comparing Canada saying aloud “we have fucked up and we want to fix it” to any state-run media in Russia is just laughable, at best.

Nothing says “free speech” like banning protest.
