Just to be clear, your sole problem with Hasan is his net worth? lol.
“Class consciousness in leftist politics? lol.”

Says someone writing pages about it along with many lies.
lol what? That is entirely irrelevant to what you were responding to. Writing many pages has nothing to do with a cult of personality, wtf are you talking about?
Dishonesty requires being dishonest about something. What is he being dishonest about?
His concern for the poor.
Cool so suppose he did that and was sufficiently poor for your liking would you have something to actually say about his views?
Yes.
You seem way more invested in hating than engaging with his ideas.
They aren’t his ideas lmao, they’re basic socialist rhetoric. I can engage with those just fine without ever having to waste my time on Hasan.
- Comment on Hee Hee Ho Ho Ha Ha 5 days ago:
Yeah if you want to be pedantic he may not strictly fit the dictionary definition:
Someone who grifts is a thief, but of a particular sort: they illegally obtain money or property by means of cleverness or deceit, and do not usually resort to physical force or violence. A grifter might be a pickpocket, a crooked gambler, a scammer, or a con artist.
But generally language is colloquial, not formal. And he firmly fits the colloquial use of the term, as described by urbandictionary:
A money-making operation that is either dishonest and takes advantage of people, or is simply a cause of annoyance or scorn to those who pay. Typically, a grift is a source of easy money to whoever runs it.
He is dishonest by pretending to align with socialist ideals while hoarding money.
He takes advantage of people by selling them the false image of him as a progressive / socialist, when in fact he only is to the extent that it benefits him.
It is a source of easy money to him.
Besides that, there’s no healthy reason for you to be this invested in defending a streamer. Politics should not be a cult of personality if you actually want to achieve anything.

He’s a “”“socialist”“” living in a mansion in LA.
We may have different definitions of “substantiated”.
- Comment on Hee Hee Ho Ho Ha Ha 1 week ago:
If he was poor and arguing for socialism he would be called jealous.
Not by me.
Now he’s rich and arguing for socialism and your criticism is…what exactly?
That he’s rich.

I agree with everything you’re saying buuuuuuuuuuut also
the dude lives in a mansion and plays down the importance of mutual aid, he’s a grifter and the left should be demanding better

I have broken through on DMT but I don’t think I’ve ever broken through on salvia.
I promise you salvia is weirder.
Firstly DMT is a serotonergic psychedelic. It acts on the same receptors as psilocybin and (if I’m not mistaken) LSD. It’s euphoric, your body may freak out because it thinks it’s dying as it separates from your consciousness temporarily, but ultimately you still physically feel good when you are aware of your physical being.
Salvia is an atypical hallucinogen. It’s generally not considered a proper (or at least classic) psychedelic like DMT, shrooms, mescaline, LSD, etc, or even newer substances like 2C-B. It’s also not considered a deliriant like datura or DPH. It is a secret third thing. It’s a hallucinogenic compound which acts on opioid receptors but is entirely non-addictive. It allegedly has a reverse tolerance, meaning the more you use it over time, the more it hits you. I’ve heard it described as “dysphoric”, so opposite of euphoric, but I would strongly disagree with that - it doesn’t feel bad. I’d almost want to call it “aphoric”, which isn’t a real word lol so may not be linguistically correct, but essentially it doesn’t feel, period. You don’t feel like you have a body.
DMT feels like you’re leaving your body but your consciousness remains a distinct vessel that is sort of witnessing the grandeur of the grand architecture of reality; salvia feels like your consciousness is dissolving into the world around you along with your body.
And I haven’t even properly broken through! I’ve felt immobile and had full-on hallucinations but I still don’t feel it was a real breakthrough. And I’m not particularly in a rush to do so either, even though I have plenty of salvia on hand lol
- Comment on Getting told by Lemmy to stop taking drugs 1 week ago:
Disagree, sort of.
Salvia isn’t unpleasant if that’s what you mean… it’s also not particularly pleasant. It’s very remarkable in its absolute neutrality imo. It is an experience you can choose to have.
But also worth mentioning that everyone here (including me) has probably only smoked it. Indigenous users in Oaxaca kind of press the leaves against their gums which makes for a more chill and gradual experience. The particular shaman (I think that would be her title?) shown in the Hamilton’s Pharmacopia episode on salvia said that salvia does not like being exposed to fire, I think she may have even said that the goddess or spirit considers it disrespectful.
I’m obviously going off memory here so watch the episode if you’re interested in salvia. It’s very good. If you (like most people) don’t have access to fresh salvia leaves, you can find tinctures online which are probably the closest approximation (assuming it’s legal in your area, but it generally is).

I once saw mushrooms described as “the most forensically accurate character assassination known to man”
Which is why I think it’s very important that everyone try them, or at least westerners

I’m modeling it after the drug-discussion parts of the now-dead website 420chan.org, which I used a lot when I was younger. (Which, I feel like I have to give the disclaimer every time, was nothing like 4chan.)
c/Drugs is the main community, but for example from the perspective of me as a potential browser, I really only care about cannabis and psychedelics. So having specific communities for those substances is beneficial imo. Plus it’s so low-effort to moderate on Lemmy anyway, at least for now, that it’s really no struggle. Plus the community already exists anyway, might as well get it in working order.

Well that’s good to know, in an odd-feeling sort of way - it’s reassuring info within the context of a situation which I would never want to happen in the first place.

I’m not so sure life on Earth could recover from global nuclear war.
But if we can avoid that then yeah we’re probably fine.

Maybe a friend bought you a card at some point?
Or you used your parents’ card if you were younger?

It learns, sure… and it’s already learned as much as it can from the entire internet, and still can’t run a Taco Bell drivethrough.
Apparently in the AI world, they are expecting it’s capabilities to double every 7 months. I saw a list of steps
Yeah, and in the cryptocurrency world, they predicted that Bitcoin would currently be worth $200k - $300k, potentially as high as 400k - 1mil in high-greed environments.
Instead, it is almost exactly at the value of their “Bitcoin Dead” level lol
I would give less credence to the opinions of people whose financial interests are vested in you believing AI is magic.
It’s learning the basics right now, but humans are training the AI to the point that it will replace them, then the next level of humans will train the next level until replaces them
Humans are more than just chatbots. Therefore even the most advanced chatbot will never replace us.
Which is not to say that I think humans are the supreme possible intelligence, or that machine intelligence could never surpass us. I just do not believe that the current LLM’s we have are capable of achieving anything resembling actual thought, just a decently convincing mimicry of it.
It’s also not to say that I think no jobs will be lost, but I think they’ll be situations like where a QA department reduces its workforce by 75% but then the remaining 25% are still expected to oversee the AI’s output. It’s still a shit outcome economically (though I’d also reference that quote, “Imagine how badly we had to fuck up to create a world where the robots taking all the jobs is a bad thing”), but it’s not the same as actually rivaling us in cognition or intellectual capacity.
In a few years, well all be replaced, except a lucky few who do the maintenance
And a few years before 2016, everyone who bought Bitcoin was going to be driving a Lamborghini.
I still see more Priuses and Corollas on the road these days.

Piggybacking on this to say the vast majority of “a tree planted for every _______” schemes are also greenwashing bullshit, including Ecosia if I’m not mistaken.
Most plant monocrops with no regard for how a natural, healthy forest functions and generally take no care to make sure the trees actually reach maturity or even adolescence.
There are exceptions, some companies who actually do it right (though carbon credits are a bullshit poison concept regardless), but I imagine most big companies use the corner-cutting options.

I agree with the first two paragraphs, but as for the third, I think you overestimate the capability of chatbots on steroids. It couldn’t even run a Taco Bell drivethrough.

I recommend(ed) it so people have a mobile browser with functional adblock. I don’t need to research further to know it does that well, which frankly is all most people will care about.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 4 weeks ago:
Brave Browser Mobile has adblocker - a good adblocker, at that, since I’ve never had problems with Youtube’s anti-adblock measures. Sucks that the people who run it suck, but the people who profit from ads probably (in a net sense) suck even more.
IronFox does look pretty good too, though. Never heard of that.

As a Californian, it’s not just the DoE, especially on a scale of decades. My girlfriend went to public school in Texas and had shit like iPads and a lunch cafeteria with actual restaurants. I went to public school in California, mostly (entirely?) after it was gutted by the Governator, and had shit like textbooks shared across classes with swastikas and 8=D drawn all over the pages and a lunch cafeteria that served frozen pizzas microwaved in the plastic.
