Fun fact: not every homophobe is secretly gay.

Straight people are allowed to be homophobes too. The way Lemmings insist that every homophobe must be secretly gay is homophobic.

It's an unverifiable rumor that someone has probably claimed about every famous male since Napoleon. You're not making it up, it was made up years ago.

Headlines linking Black people and SNAP decrease white support for SNAP even amongst white people who use SNAP.

At a certain point, white Americans get the country they deserve. When the same trick has worked continuously since Bacon's rebellion, you all need to figure out what is wrong with your communities.

The crowing from centrists that leftists lose elections that centrists have complete control over is circular reasoning.

It's fair to think that centrists might have more support. But if someone believes DNC gives a fair shake to progressives, they're dangerously naive.

I think the joke is that you wouldn't expect someone to eat the cake immediately and all of the baker's work making it look good is largely wasted. Why not just make a normal sheet cake? This doesn't work as well because the original post primed us all to think about eating a cake by ourselves.

Not saying you're wrong, but Kid Rock is far from "average".

Frankly, I think the people with more to hide are more virtuous than I. Labor organizers, activists, etc. If you're working to overthrow my country, awesome. Best of luck to you.

But it's also fair to say most of us will not truly benefit from writing a custom boot loader and after a certain point this is just a hobby.

It will prevent you from doing a lot of the things that will get the NSA interested in you?

Imagine trying to brute force a password on a Dell.

Best synopsis I've seen, thank you.

AI cannot be relied upon to follow its own rules, prompt injection or no.

I don't think there's any speculation that it's real. The question is whether it was created with AI and/or edited.

Yes, absolutely.

My fear is whether Americans will choose socialism right now. I'm in a very queer, anarchist bubble and I'm not sure how to tell how popular this sort of thought is.

My concern is how thoroughly Americans have rooted socialists out of power and how all of our media will insist that we need more fascism, not less.

I'm not sure we can generalize about people who enlisted after 2016, but is there a point to that cutoff? A lot of people have been in the military since before 2016.

There's no question. Chatbots are implicated in a lot of suicides, shattering the first rule.

There could be an interesting conversation about whether the environmental impact ALSO breaks the first rule, but that conversation is unnecessary when chat bots are telling kids to kill themselves.

I think you're correct. But if so, that means a lot of people are going to die and even after they die, we have no guarantee that the next power structure will be any better.

This is why this completely unsupported graphic on the internet seems unreliable to me. If you want to quibble about WHY one shouldn't believe a completely unsupported graphic on the internet...okay.

Do you think that someone should believe a graphic on the internet without verifying the information from a reputable source?

It feels like they tanked the test out of spite. I'm curious about the methodology of the study, but France has far too much tourism to believe this without seeing the underlying data.

It didn't occur to me that the people in the graphic might be women. 😆

Respecting people is way more important than "getting" a meme, so your head's in the right place, regardless.
