Ha, I had no idea these existed. If anyone would, he seems like the type to, though.

once something erotic has merit beyond the erotic it often loses its porn classification in the public eye.
This definitely poses a problem. Er… depending on what we think a problem is, I guess. But the stuff I’m thinking of, it would be very hard to do this to.

people dismiss it for the sexual focus.
I stand by this: porn is a largely untapped medium for insanely stupid comedy.
I know we’ve all seen lemon stealing whores and whatnot, but like, we could have so much more than we do.

Dude, you have got to stop taking all these ricochets. Not everything is a point to tally in the war between mars and venus.

The current predatory system will raise the limit on the 40 work week if they’re allowed to. 60. 80. You might not even get a weekend. Unions fought for your weekend.
AI does not fundamentally change this relationship. It is the same predatory system.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 2 weeks ago:
It might. Like, maybe a little?
Oddly, you’re the one kind of lacking nuance here. I’d be willing to oppose the Internet in certain contexts. It certainly feels less and less useful as it’s consumed by AI spam anyway.

What kind of selfish, emotionless psychopath do you have to be to legitimately think that libraries being unused, forgotten, and closed is a good thing?
You ever thought about this: maybe if you visited your library in person more often, you’d actually have more friends.

Fox News is dangerous. It turns your grandpa into a lunatic.
Hm… how do we square that one.

Literacy what? Just let me watch something funny.
This is like the most pro-illiteracy thing I’ve ever read.
Do you feel you’ve become more stupid?
My muscles were weaker until I started training. As it turns out, the modern convenience that allows me to sit around all day doesn’t actually make me stronger by itself.
It is people that are increasing inequality.
Yes, what if the billionaires simply chose not to, hm? Have I ever thought of that? Probably not, I’m very stupid.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 2 weeks ago:
Because when your employer catches on, they’ll bring you back up to 40 anyway.
And probably because those 15 hours now produce shit quality.

For labor people don’t like doing, sure. I can’t imagine replacing a friend of mine with a conversation machine that performs the same or better, though.

just pushes them to double down.
It pushes them out of communities. You’re not really understanding the strategy here. The point is not to make them believe, it is to silence their ideas with a bit of social conformity. This is the same reason you kick nazis out of your bar before they start bringing their friends.
If you make life difficult for people with obscenely bad ideas, you encourage them to either stop or at least be quiet about it. That quiet inhibits spread. It creates new taboos that people are afraid to cross.
Regardless, saying to your loved one "Okay you don’t trust the scientists, but you do trust me, […]
Their loved ones are welcome to do this. They should, actually. I can’t really help them do that, though.

Well, let’s imagine that vaccine antibodies do actually stick around longer for a moment. All right. Who cares?
I could certainly think it was interesting. But concerning? In what way? “Oh no, I accidentally have too much money.” Okay. And?
This is essentially an appeal to nature fallacy. We don’t need to imagine she has a point to make; she’s trying to scare people.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 2 weeks ago:
Yeah.
I think it’s important to give explanations like Mystik’s loudly and often, and maybe a bit quipier if it’s too long, because constant exposure to talk radio and other conservative propaganda is partly why they fell into this trap in the first place.
But if they’re not listening, you just gotta call them stupid weirdos and make them feel uncomfortable in public. Make their friends laugh at them, make it seem like your side is having more fun. The fear of being excluded will eventually pull them over, willingly or not.
Unless it doesn’t. In which case, we’re talking about a breakdown of the social order that is… I don’t even know, man. That might be beyond fixing.

Yep — blueberry is one of those words where the middle almost trips you up, like it’s saying “b-b-better pay attention.”

Also, it trying to gaslight you into believing bluebberry is real was very funny.

When I was in highschool, a student I was sat next to found out I was an athiest. He rotated a full 90 degrees in his chair at me, and with an excitement shared only by inventors and engineers finally getting to see their ideas actually working in the real world, he asked me: “Where did dirt come from?”
I told him, “I don’t know what dirt is.”
Quizzically, “Dirt. Like, in the ground.”
I tapped my shoes on the floor. “Home Depot.”
This was, apparently, as far as his anime-villain machinations could take him. He quietly rotated back to the table and drew a school bus or something—I don’t remember what we were doing in art class.
Far from the worst encounter a person could have, but I think about it all the time.

I said it shouldn’t only be easy.
and glamorising the fact that things had to be fought over more than a lifetime.
Those people are stronger than you, so sure, yeah.
I can just call the US government support number to voice my disapproval, can’t I?
Let me lay out a strategy for you:
VISA has decided conservative authoritarianism is cool.
We bully them into rescinding this.
Later, VISA decides again that conservative authoritarianism is cool.
We bully them into rescinding this.
Later, when we have the means, we take their processor from them.
Now, we don’t need to bully them. We own the processor. We decide what it does.
The above plan is, literally, all I’m arguing for. You’re with everything until that final step. Why are you so against taking power?
If you don’t trust the people in government, you should be in government then. Join your own country’s, pressure the US.
If you would like “we” to be International, by all means. Go for it. I won’t stop you. I don’t need our PayPal to be owned by the US. Maybe all countries have their own PayPal. Maybe the UN governs one.
None of these problems get solved whatsoever, though, if you refuse to be in power. One day, VISA will just stop taking your calls. You’ll get an answering machine that says, “We won the game for control of the world. Eat shit.”

shouldn’t
Shouldn’t?
because that’s better?
It is better.
I don’t trust the US government to not immediately misuse their power
Sounds like you should be involved, then. To keep them in check.
