I mean, moreso, that we’re just taking it. Conservatives stormed stores with mask mandates and forcefully “bought” items while being refused service. In Canada, they had that whole Truck convoy. All of this, over conspiracy theories and inconveniences.
Meanwhile ICE is running mass “deportations” (to random countries the victims never belonged to) and people are… just letting it happen??
I think this says something more about the Left and Liberals in the USA :P
more like “My dad works as Mojang and he’ll ban you”
Bigger picture: The whole way people talk about talking about mental health struggles is so weird. Like, I hate this whole generative AI bubble, but there’s a much bigger issue here.
Speaking from the USA, “suicidal ideation” is treated like terrorist ideology in this weird corporate-esque legal-speak with copy-pasted disclaimers and hollow slogans. It’s so absurdly stupid I’ve just mentally blocked off trying to rationalize it and just focus on every other way the world is spiraling into techno-fascist authoritarianism.
You’re not alone. I’m beyond despair at the daily disregard for all civility. The only thing which hurts more is the passivity of the people I once knew.
How else do you get parents to send their 14 year olds to the farms?
New Friday Night Funkin’ mod idea dropped
(Clarence Thomas handwriting) Nothing in the constitution says cities have any rights
Nukes. Europe will never liberate us. We have nukes. And drone strikes. Raiding the shore of the USA would be an act of war, and the response to a nation-ending threat like that fr a nation with nukes is Mutually Assured Destruction.
I’ll also note that the whole world right now is trending towards Fascism; So support for a War with the USA is unlikely. Wars always suck; and there’s a good portion of every European nation who would want the USA to win, who could leverage the impact of war to breed discontent.
Now, normally seeing a question in the headline suggests the answer to that question is “no”; but I’m not sure the “Now” is “normal”
The way that all this “AI” processing has been trained, it almost always fails for anyone who doesn’t fit the white middle-class aesthetic. Voice-to-text generative AI processing will screw up for people with accents, including non-native speakers; also someone who slurs their words, or talks in African-American Vernacular English. Also, it requires someone to know how to speak and listen in a language. Clicking on icons and inputting commands is the same regardless of what language you speak. This just reeks of out-of touch nepo-baby executives.
Absolutely. https://apnews.com/article/trump-ai-rfk-jr-health-tech-fa73703bd1fd557c787ef0b590e151f1 (second paragraph)
More than 60 companies, including major tech companies like Google, Amazon and Apple as well as health care giants like UnitedHealth Group and CVS Health, have agreed to share patient data in the system.
oh, yeah, of course Musk’s companies go on there… and I saw a few things about Oracle’s surveillance efforts.
What happened to “Don’t share your real identity online”? Oh… Social Media.
Well before the UK online ID laws, I saw some memes about people getting asked for ID as proof of age for NSFW servers, just to send to server admins. I figured it was a ID fraud scheme of some sort, but now I’d chalk it up to manic “protect the children” believers.
Have you seen the USA? UK? Russia? China? I really don’t want the government making any system to tie internet to any identity. I really don’t want any government having any role in the internet.
So if we ever take back this country, we’ve gotta destroy Palantir, Apple, Google, Meta, Disney, Microsoft, Amazon, CVS (working to compile a medical database on all USAmericans)… and every company that backed Trump’s Nazi campaign. Start making a list now. The corporations alone will be a life’s worth of work.
“and himself, a true Democrat” uhh, Cuomo, you’re running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary. You’re opposing the Democrat Party. That’s the exact opposite of a Democrat.
ooh he means neoliberal corrupt corporate sellout. Got it.
and for workers who want to lose their jobs, and for tenants who want to be unable to pay their rent
“go get a job as an essential worker!”
Worse. Bounty Hunters have already been wrecking havoc on the USA, years before Trump. Take everything bad about greedy corporate attitude, and give those people the ego of a police officer. This is exactly what ICE wants - with the bonus that if any case gets extremely bad press, some private citizen takes the fall.
I recall watching a story - 2 months ago, a man named Hussein Alsaadi was kidnapped from Richardson, Texas by a team of bounty hunters - they abducted him from his home on a warrant for a different man. But, again, this is not Just a 2025 problem, it’s been like this for a while.
