For the love of god, I’m not denying the occurrence. I’m pointing out the number of posts on it and that is all. People are still dying daily, and I read that news daily. But the daily posts on it are a mere sliver of what they were in October of 2024. That is the salient point.
I’m not a democrat. Nor do I think the present party has any strength beyond that of a wet spaghetti noodle. Nor do I have anything to do with the army of dipshits in MAGA gear. Bernie winning 2016 would’ve been the right timeline. This one sucks. Do I turn out and vote like an adult anyway, to avoid abject errors like Trump? Yes. But I’m not a democrat.
AI is ruining us already. The gross dependency on it for the most basic of tasks, like writing a sentence, is a malignancy that’s destroying both critical thinking and art. So yea, you’re probably right that I’m a bit over focused on that problem. But maybe not. Either way, there’s no need to draw nasty assumptions that reach far beyond the AI problem simply because you don’t like my focus on the AI problem.
A board of nursing can revoke a license for unethical behavior even if, technically, no law is broken.
At risk of sounding like that dipshit Vance, you guys don’t have free speech, not really. The uk seems to exist in a “yes, but no” realm. The press can’t report on trials such that it might influence outcome. 1988 law iirc. That’s smart, but it’s still a guardrail on speech. Some of the arrests and even sentences over there, for speech and sometimes even ideology related infractions, are a bit wild. I remember reading something about a woman being fined for calling her ex a leprechaun on social media.
That said, I feel a need to reiterate how crazy this defense of war and slaughter is. I’ve been a casual observer at best but I do not understand why either government cares if a people across an ocean (who are not and never will be boots on the ground for either side of this war) say they don’t like a war. So what? The war will rage on regardless of wether or not college students in Michigan walk around outside on a nice day holding signs. Or if some guy in London posts an objection on social media. That’s not even a speed bump to this war or either government if either government even sees or hears any of it. So why does either government even care? Why even spend energy on that? For them, it’s like a volume setting that maybe can’t be turned to zero, but in the end it’s just a bit of noise to them. So why bother? The war will continue. As such, their reaction makes no sense whatsoever.
How does she manage to keep her nursing license while being anti-vax? We truly are on the worst timeline.
What you’re saying isn’t in doubt, but it doesn’t fit the pattern of what I’m describing. Ofc there are people who oppose the Israel/Palestine war. I never said no one opposed it. I also never said I was for it.
The point of the description is there was a deluge. Daily multiples across forums, subs, endless. The deluge abruptly stopped on Nov 5. The genocide didn’t stop on Nov 5, but the endless fury of posts across social media did.
I understand that no one likes to face or feel manipulation, but there it is.
Because 3 year olds are often members of sleeper cells.
Your attempt to make dislike of AI slop and churn sound like a bad thing has failed.
I would dearly love to never see another popup random name Tshirt company with themed “humor” that falls flat or reads as slightly weird because it’s just shy of hitting the mark or has the feel of trying too hard. (Great trainer though, you’ll know what “hits” by buys.)
Or, to never experience another pre election run like Nov24 where an endless deluge of Israel/Pakistan horror flooded the Lemmy and Reddit feeds only to abruptly shut off on Nov5.
I’ve always just blocked Pinterest in my browser, the eyeroll that it is, but my understanding is it’s dominated by AI imagery now.
Yeah. We’re pretty much over as a country.
AI is meming now.
AI is probably doing Tshirts too. All those many many T-shirt sites with churned out “humor” that falls flat or feels slightly off.
Maybe take a moment to watch Jon Oliver’s “AI Slop” show from 2? weeks ago.
I strongly suspect the endless spam of Palestine/Israel horror posts across Lemmy and Reddit last year that abruptly cut off on Nov 5 was more of the same.
It’s a free show. With the right people it’s good, but I understand your feeling.
MAGAs are the gun owners. Mostly.
Ofc not. But it’s an abject showing of what you can count on them for going forward.
This is why I worry. It’s likely correct in that we’re heading for fallout. But here we are.
This is not my area. I’ve simply consumed a lot of Heather Cox Richardson. She’s a Harvard educated American History professor. Posts on YT. Not very popular last check.
It’s calm, historical perspective which I rather enjoy.
Here’s another issue. Can we believe any of the numbers being posted on federal .gov sites any more?
I’ve been reading a lot about the inception of the welfare Queen idea, as pushed by Reagan first in California and then in our government as a whole ever since. So I initially started reading this as Trump numbers to support that nonsense.
I want to believe it is what it says it is, a warning sign to us all.
