- Comment on A question about taking over moderation 2 days ago:
You kind of need to say what it is…
But yeah, if there’s no mods admins have to handle reports, so they tend to give communities to people who volunteer.
I’ve made posts here requesting a community, I’ve mentioned in a report that I could mod since there wasn’t one, and I’ve had admins just reach out and offer, but that was when .world was just starting and a lot of accounts made communities and abandoned them.
Like, just ask. There’s no need to ask if you can ask.
But be prepared that it might be months later when someone reaches out if you still want it.

The next time you see two women running out the Gap
With arms full of clothes still strapped to the rack
Once they jump in the car, hit the gas and scat
If you have to say something, just stand there and clap

Despite a longer-term decline, the report said both accounts of knife crime and related hospital admissions had risen in the past year.

the democrats
en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_chairs_of_the_Democrat…
“The party” is the DNC, and it’s controlled by the chair for a four year term. If a Dem becomes president, they choose the chair.
So blame the DNC chair, at the time it was DWS, and yeah. She was a giant piece of shit.
But blaming the current “party” for shit from a prior just tells everyone you don’t understand how this works
- Comment on Sam Altman: My AI vision is bigger than solving diseases. A cure for cancer is not enough. 2 weeks ago:
It never will be…
They can’t even pay for their water and electric to run the equipment they couldn’t afford.
There’s no off ramp here, they’re gonna keep pretending it’s worth it because if not the entire house of cards falls down. It’s why they want pensions roped into investing and tied up with the government. They do some day everyones going to realize AI stock is worth a teeny tiny fraction of what they say it is.
Billions of dollars of “wealth” will become thousands overnight, and they want as many people as possible to be hurt by that so a bailout happens.
- Comment on Asylum seekers told rape and harassment illegal in UK in new Home Office booklet 4 weeks ago:
You’re viewing this as “can I prosecute”…
I’m viewing it as “how do we stop crimes from happening”
- Comment on Asylum seekers told rape and harassment illegal in UK in new Home Office booklet 4 weeks ago:
I mean, people tend to forget that raping your wife was legal in the UK until 1991
It’s only illegal in NYC, because Rudy Ghoulani wasn’t subtle when he used it as Trump’s legal defense for raping and beating one of his wives after his hair transplant hurt too much…
If either of those asshats were capable of doing anything low key, it wouldn’t have gotten the public attention and legal changes it did.
- Comment on Asylum seekers told rape and harassment illegal in UK in new Home Office booklet 4 weeks ago:
The Conservatives said any asylum seekers breaking UK law should be deported and Reform said the publication showed the government “knows that they are a menace”.
By that law any law anyone is subject to proves they are a menace…
Like, you tell people the law, so that if they break it they can’t try to claim ignorance as a defense.
In the US military part of every orientation for every group that shows up to a base, is age of consent laws in that state and how the military says it’s 18.
That’s not because the US military thinks everyone is pedos, it’s because a lot of people come from states with shockingly low age of consent laws, and telling everyone that laws vary state to state takes away the “no one told me” excuse which is an even worse look.
Some 18 year old fresh out of Boot who didn’t have anyone blinking eyes at their 16 year old GF 3 months ago, needs to be on the same page that they crossed a threshold into adulthood and will be held to that standard.
Refugees tend to come from places with less civil rights, they need to understand what rights others and themselves have in their new home.
- Comment on Wildfire phone alert was 'entirely appropriate', government says 5 weeks ago:
I don’t get why it’s “all or nothing”…
They can push silent notifications first, have a “reply Y within 24hrs to prevent further notices”
And accomplish the same thing.
There’s no reason to jump straight to the loud ass “the sky is falling” notifications that override silent mode.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Raise your standards.
I’d love for my standards to be a “normal house” worth over a million dollars…
But my uncle didn’t start a giant media company and name it after genocide a to hand me a platform…
But to be honest I probably would have turned it down and wouldn’t have been interning for him in the first place

I’d be pissed if Lemmy was making it easier to feed our comments to chat it’s,
Autocorrect on “chatbots”…
But when anyone says:
I’d be pissed if
They don’t mean “if I found out” the part that would piss them off, if the “if it was happening” part.
Like:
If I found out you didn’t take the trash out
Would you hear that and think the solution that person wants is for you to hide that you didn’t?
That they would be absolutely fine with it as long as they didn’t catch you?
I’m genuinely asking, and am hopeful to get a real answer about how you seem to have interpreted my comment.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Why would you ask lemmy users how to do something most Lemmy users are pretty vocally against?
I’d be pissed if Lemmy was making it easier to feed our comments to chat it’s, the main reason a lot of us are here is we don’t want scrapped by chatbots.
And you just want to do it for funsies?
- Comment on Theft 1 month ago:
Ken Paxton just keeps doing his best Rafael Cruz impression and running away from anyone who asks him a question…
Talarico signed up for three debates and said he’ll show up even if Paxton doesn’t.
Cruz is slimey, but he’s a legitimate master debater, he can slime his way out of shit most people can’t, and Paxton is just expecting it to work out.
As long as Talarico doesn’t start talking about taking people’s guns, he’s got this in the bag.
- Comment on South Carolina and Nevada Fight to Kick Off Democrats’ 2028 Presidential Calendar 1 month ago:
SC is a stupid decision.
It needs to be the biggest states, or what I’d really really like to see:
The state that voted D for president by the highest margin, and then working down in order.
Let the states who turned out the most set the tone, but run every primary to the end and let every state get a say.
We’ve been in a weird bizzaro land where if state could be counted on, it got ignored, which hurt our turnout, and can make a safe state into an upset state.
We need to be showing Dem voters that the party wants their opinion who to run, that’s the entire point of a primary, and Martin has a proven track record of doing those in Minnesota

My numbers are made up,
At least we found some common ground

None of that makes any sort of sense, it just sounds like you heard some “business words” and are saying them without knowing what they mean…
- Comment on Doesn't add up 1 month ago:
Why the actual fuck would anyone think admin fees per employee would be percentage of salary?
That makes no sense.
It’s roughly 17k/year, regardless of if you pay $5/hr or 5k/hr.
- Comment on Doesn't add up 1 month ago:
It adds up…
It adding up is the problem.
Because it means “job creators” who do nothing but posses titles to land and company stocks are syphoning off money.
If they need 3 staff for 21 kids, they’re going to pay as little as they can to keep 3 staff. And charge as much as they can to keep 21 kids.
There’s no correlation between what staffing costs and what prices are charged, why would there be?
Both are just line items, and the person in charge just wants the profit line to have the biggest number.
The larger the company is, the worst that becomes. Or if the company is small, but owned by someone with a dozen other companies.
Expecting salary to match what people pay is toddler logic, sure it would be great if it worked like that, but any adult thinking more than 2 seconds can see why that’s not related in the modern age. Hell, its been decades since the “if we pay workers a living wage a value meal goes up $0.02!”.
Americans literally all said they were fine with that, almost zero companies increased pay, and all of them.increaswd prices anyways
There’s obviously no correlation
- Comment on We Can’t Afford Not To Be Able To Deliver Consequences 1 month ago:
“Terrorism is an insidious descriptor… denoted by the use of extreme police powers, long prison sentences, isolation, medical neglect, and of course overseas bombing campaigns and gun-running” and which has “always been used by the ruling classes to designate threats to the status quo, and in doing so intimidate them into silence.”
Obviously…
That’s why citizens everywhere need to rise up against it together rather than everyone demanding everyone else join their personal crusade.
Making it any deeper than:
Everyone deserves rights, even “terrorists” because the government chooses who is a terrorist
Just makes it easier for the oligarchs to split the movement.
If people don’t unite, the governments will keep picking off demographics one by one.
This isn’t new

- Comment on Issues with AI Helper 2 months ago:
Is the post asking for help making “AI Helpers” (apparently just a generic name for chatbots) as a genre more useful?
That’s not what this community is for, but the answer is:
You can’t make them useful, they’re slop generators.
- Comment on Britain ‘Does Not Have Enough Water’ for Planned AI Data Centre Boom 2 months ago:
It’s also important people understand it’s the same as “the cloud”.
That’s how the rollout started: “why pay for a hard drive when you can have it anywhere”?
Too many people fell for that, so the corps bought up all the hard drives, now storage is more expensive than when “the cloud” rolled out
They’re using startup accounting against us, they’ll buy up all the storage/compute power so consumers have no option but to go thru them.
The only way to win is wide scale boycotts till their investors give up. Don’t use anything you don’t own to store data.
- Comment on A Majority of Americans Now Support Seizing Wealth From AI Industry 2 months ago:
They borrowed our real money from banks without us having any say in it, based on imaginary valuations of what someone would hypothetically spend for their mountain of shares based on the price the tiny slice for sale is worth…
A complete and utter disregard for supply side economics.
If any of them actually have to sell to pay back the loan, they go bankrupt and the bank can’t collect.
That makes every other bank individually panic and call all their loans in to try and get what they can.
Banks doing a run on banks. Then everyone’s going to try and pull their money out when banks starting going bust.
- Comment on American AI is expensive. Some startups are turning to cheap Chinese models 2 months ago:
The only way to “win” at tech is churn companies.
Create an environment where startups ride it out and have a chance to be independent companies.
Currently the big American companies will just buy out entire industries anyone that doesn’t sell get crushed by the lawyers and investors get scared off.
There’s zero real innovation, and we can’t fix it unless we break apart the giant corporations. There’s no other way around it, but the giant corporations can’t admit that’s even an option.
Legally, they’re obligated to act in the best interest of share price, that’s why it’s so insane to let corporations drive policy thru lobbying, it will always benefit them and fuck us.
- Comment on We can't keep tying healthcare to employment 2 months ago:
The only reason this is the setup. Was under FDR the top tax bracket was 94% of gross pay.
For the insanely highly paid, it just wasn’t cost effective to keep paying CEOs so much, so companies made amazing healthcare packages to stand out to potential employees.
That was 80 years ago, and all the good bits are gone and the shit remains.
We need to fix our healthcare, but absolutely nothing is more important than getting that top tax rate back up to around 94% or even higher. That has to be the highest priority, because that’s how we pay for everything and fight wealth inequality
