I’ve been telling people for a while that I can hear it too. Nice to know I’m not the only one.

Yeah, black Americans have a very distinct culture. Started as slaves, were segregated in a lot of ways, they still often have ghetto neighborhoods, they created unique genres of music with strong black identity and they still have their own entertainment catered towards them. That’s America for you.

From my experience, black people want to be called black. I’m a white kid, but was raised in a foster family with three black siblings and other black family, including some that lived in a ghetto in another city. It was the 90s and early 2000s, so we watched some BET, we watched the Boondocks, we listened to thug rap, we watched shows with black characters such as All That and Cousin Skeeter. Because it was all a part of my brothers’ culture. In anything we participated in I’ve never heard a single African-American who didn’t call themselves “black” and be fine being called that.
I’ve also sometimes made the argument in defense of “black”, that “African-American” is mildly politically-incorrect itself— not that I have a problem with the term, just the hyper-vigilant enforcing of it . Because it’s not synonymous with skin color itself, it’s a statement about where they came from. We don’t call white people “European Americans”, and what do we call non-black African-Americans from, say, Egypt or South America? So… yeah.

And things worse than slavery towards them. And that a lot of racists who would likely shoot black people still use it. And there’s a lot of those people.

Good news, but it’s not “AI”. Please stop calling it that.

And we’d still call what it was “Twitter”.

That sounds like the courts are fucking stupid and ill-prepared to do their jobs.

So if an instance is defederated from a second, I wouldn’t see any cross-posts from the second?

Haha, I didn’t even notice that last part.

I tried Claude once and it was absolute garbage. Then again, it advertised that it could analyze a .txt document and send me results. It only hallucinated that it could give me results.

So what you’re saying is, I can block a toxic community, but I am still forced to see when they post the same post again somewhere else.
Ugh. Can I just block literally every post with a certain word in it?

Japanese media is stupid too, Pokémon especially. South Park even commented on that when it was new. So it was stupid against stupid.

It’s like people who say desktop Linux is currently good enough to be mainstream and it will any day now, please? And it’s everyone else’s fault that it hasn’t.

Read all the comments in this thread that say “OP” next to the user. I don’t call people “trolls” very quickly because most of the time that’s wrong, statistically. But he is either a troll or— more likely— an annoying militant vegan.

Some animals are carnivores, but they don’t want to draw attention to that. Also, humans aren’t carnivores. We’re omnivores.

- Comment on weed 8 months ago:
Dude, I just had this realization on my own a few months ago. I grew up thinking weeds literally choked the life out of grass and other plants by definition. So after some thought I started saying to myself and others “weeds are just any plant you don’t desire in your yard, they aren’t a species or group, the word means nothing”

It’s “high geologist” in the same way as “high summoner” in Final Fantasy X. Meaning his career ends with sacrificing himself. In this case probably via volcano.

Courage is knowing you’re likely to fail but taking a chance and doing your best anyway. Stupidity is thinking there’s little to no risk when there’s a lot.
