Because smart people question each other and disagree a lot. Dumb people are sheep and follow the loudest, most confident voice in the room.

That’s right, bringing race, gender, and other demographic variables into it totally makes your argument stronger. It definitely doesn’t expose your own prejudices at all, no siree.
- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 1 week ago:
This has happened plenty of times in other countries. To think it can’t happen here is what is irrational.

I took this attitude the first time Trump was elected, and boy was I wrong. Not this time. Now, I’m seriously considering what his options might be for eliminating the election in 2028. He needs to clean the military brass of people disloyal to him, which he can easily do as Commander in Chief. Once he’s got a loyal military, there’s virtually nothing he can’t do; and this SCOTUS will let him do anything he wants, so long as it aligns with the view of Evangelical Christians, who have been wanting a theocracy for decades. He can conjure the specter of “Democrat corruption” to justify eliminating any opposition politicians as an official act, completely re-stock the FBI with loyalists to wage any legal battles he needs to make his actions seem legitimate and “official,” and arrest any problematic judges under the same “corruption” myth so that he can then replace them with loyalists.
Honestly, we’ve seen this playbook before in countries that are now dictatorships and Trump has already made it quite clear he wants to be a dictator. There is absolutely no reason to be convinced this will not happen. It might not happen, but there’s no reason to think definitely will not.

LOL. Omg I’m such a survivor. I’m only a survivor because I survived this long. I would be a completely different person if I I just survived longer than this. 😝

Because you invested in a shit plan or simply made your investments poorly. I know plenty of people who are doing well on their retirement investment plans, and I’m doing fine too. Don’t blame America, the country, for your shitty decisions.

I think it’s just good video editing, no CG.

They’re all over the place, but I suppose I encounter them most in the news and politics forums.
- Comment on Nostalgia and remake culture 2 weeks ago:
Where is there any evidence that such a culture exists? The remake trend is being driven by corporate execs at gaming companies that see remakes as more financially safe than new games.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
I like the relatively sane moderation compared to Reddit.
I dislike the heavy far-left/communist presence here. I’m a lefty myself, but a lot of people here are extremists in my opinion, little better than the far right.

- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 4 weeks ago:
I care about my friends’ babies, but that’s mostly because I get to interact with them. The rest is mostly just politeness.
- Comment on Not everything needs to be Art 5 weeks ago:
I’ve gotten arguments that it’s theft, because technically the AI is utilizing other artist’s work as resources for the images it produces. I’ve pointed out that that’s more like copying another artist’s style than theft, which real artists do all the time, but it’s apparently different when a computer algorithm does it?
Look, I understand people’s fears that AI image generation is going to put regular artists out of work, I just don’t agree with them. Did photography put painters out of work? Did the printing press stop the use of writing utensils? Did cinema cause theatre to go extinct?
No. People need to calm down and stop freaking out about technology moving forward. You’re not going to stop it; so you might as well learn to live with it. If history is a reliable teacher, it really won’t be that bad.

I think the point of shitposting is that there is no value in shitposting, making it an exercise in absurdist humor.
Wait, I think I just thought myself into a circle, like a jerk.

I saw it and liked it. It’s definitely the weakest of the three in my opinion, though. Nicole Kidman really sticks out like a sore thumb in it; bad casting choice.

- Comment on WebMD forcing employees back to office. "We aren’t asking or negotiating at this point. We’re informing" 10 months ago:
I agree the video is cringy AF, but I don’t have a problem with the company demanding its employees return to working in the office rather than remotely. There are a whole host of tangible benefits (for both companies and employees) from coming into work and I don’t see a problem with a company insisting on it. There are some industries and/or jobs in which remote work is probably fine, but most organizations benefit more from having people come into a shared workspace.
