It's not hypocrisy. "AI" isn't just one single thing, and the way it's used and implemented are more important than whether or not to use it at all. Any tool can be used for right or for wrong, it just depends on who is using it and what they're doing with it.

I used to be really good at reflecting with the rear-view. As long as they were far enough away that I could see their windshield, I could usually land a direct hit. I've had a few instances where I'll see the sombitch slam on their brakes.

I don't believe it's FOSS, but Catbox is very simple and allows you to link directly to images/videos that you upload, with no ads and no login required.
- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 1 day ago:
Consuming media is a great way to supplement your language-learning, but be careful not to confuse the dialog used in anime with actual conversational Japanese. Just like how nobody actually talks like a Western cartoon character does, Japanese people don't talk like anime characters. Anime dialog is largely dramatized.
Also for what it's worth; depending on what you're watching, the English dubs have gotten way better in recent years. There's a lot of good talent in the dub scene these days, and Japanese directors are getting better at trusting the performance of western voice actors, instead of demanding that the actor sounds the way they think it should sound in English. In my experience, most dubs post-2010 are generally pretty good. Generally.

Okay? Neither are most psychiatrists. That doesn't mean they don't study and understand the principals of neuroscience. He cites his sources, so you can verify or debunk his claims, if you so choose.
- Comment on Dr.K Explains Tylenol and Autism 1 week ago:
While I do share some of her concerns with the way he blends his religious beliefs into his therapy, he's generally pretty good about distinguishing therapy (of which there are many different forms that may or may not involve religious practices) and neuroscience. Though that might be hard to glean through carefully-selected 10-second clips.
I'm really not a fan of the way she takes a lot of his clips out of context. For example, in the Miskif interview on ADHD where he offers prayer beads, he's not actually suggesting that Mizkif start praying or adopt a new religion; he's offering what's effectively a fidget toy, which is something quite commonly suggested for ADHD sufferers as sensory input often helps ADHD patients focus. Longer clip of the segment in question.
I couldn't finish her video, though, because the constant pausing to interject her own quips made it feel like a Reddit argument where somebody argues each of your sentences in isolation instead of arguing against the whole comment. So I'm not sure where Reckful comes into play here.

The children’s images were used by Meta after their parents had posted them on Instagram to mark their return to school.
STOP POSTING PICTURES OF YOUR CHILDREN ON THE INTERNET. Even IF Meta weren't going to use the photos for advertising purposes, that shit is still public. Even if you set it to "friends only", you don't know everybody on your friend list as well as you'd like to think.

I get what you're going for, but by using a slur, you're throwing the LGBT community under the bus with Charlie. There are so many more horrible, yet accurate things we can call him; you should pick one that doesn't denigrate an unrelated group of people at the same time.

- Comment on Hollow Knight Sequel 'Silksong' Crashed Game Stores, as $20 Price Irks Competitors 3 weeks ago:
In the age of $70+ AAA games with additional costs, not everyone celebrated the consumer friendly price. Some independent game developers have expressed concern that their games may not sell as well compared to Silksong and cannot afford to charge less.
Where did this line come from? I see no mention of that quote in any of the links from the /. post, and it doesn't help that the quote doesn't cite a specific developer, either.

Charlie Kirk made a career at the expense of the dead. Fuck him, I'm glad he's dead, I'm glad it was at the hands of another and not natural causes, I'm glad that it happened right in front of hundreds of other like-minded Nazis as a reminder of what awaits them, and I can't wait to see who the next dead Nazi is going to be.

The skin on your body isn't uniform; it's at varying textures and thicknesses in different parts, and its absorbency varies in different parts, as well.
The skin around your anus is very resistant to infection due to its particular mixture of these properties.
