How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals
  • "Liberal" means "the left" almost exclusively in North America (specifically the USA and Canada). In most of the world the term "liberal" means what Americans call "libertarians" (read: capitalist assholes).

  • How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals
  • โ€œNo, youโ€™re wrong, and should suffer for itโ€.

    How very Abrahamic of you. Indeed if you didn't continually and loudly bleat your politics from talk like this I'd assume you were a fundamentalist Christian.

  • How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals
  • Liberals decisions are based on marginal benefit and rational decision making based on a combination of large and small scale unbiased data and historical outcomes.

    [citation needed]

    Liberals have their own idiotic biases and foolishness. Biases and foolishness that have led to the "disappearing" of many LGBTQ+ activists in China, incidentally, which is why so many such groups in China are distancing themselves from their western counterparts.

  • I find it equal parts of entertaining and disturbing that you're trying to drum up hatred just so you can feel less lonely. Here's a genuine question, but don't answer it. Well, don't answer it to me (or anybody else here). Answer it for yourself.

    Why are you so fucking dead set on hatred?

    The answer to that question is for you and your therapist to work out. (If you don't have a therapist FUCKING GET ONE STAT!)

    A good scholar is not a warrior; A good fighter is not angry; Those who are good at defeating enemies will not compete with them; Those who make good use of people are inferior. It is called the virtue of not competing, the power of using people, and the extreme of matching heaven and ancient times. โ€”Laozi

  • Agree?
  • Another way to learn is to look up words you don't know instead of a) guessing, and then b) reacting based on guesswork.

  • Agree?
  • FUCK AI, and also FUCK PEOPLE AGAINST AI, Good thing I hate everyone!

    That sounds more like self-loathing.

  • You can't escape it now โ€” Gemini is officially part of Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides
  • ... however only paying Google Workspace customers will be able to access it for the time being.

    So the way to escape it is to not pay Google. I'm not sure they thought through their business model yet.

  • Finally a useful feature (no)
  • It's sliced bread that has been browned by radiant heat, triggering the Maillard reaction, making the surface firmer, crispy, and altering its flavour profile with caramelized sugars.

  • Finally a useful feature (no)
  • Ah, yes. I remember when I was young enough to believe that being polite gets you attention instead of the brush-off.

  • Finally a useful feature (no)
  • These ridiculous mice with a dedicated AI button are showing up all over now. ๐Ÿ˜  I mean โ€ฆ how can you fuck up something as simple as a mouse!?

  • Meta is tagging real photos as 'Made with AI,' say photographers
  • Well, there's a reason why I said "perhaps". That's as far as I'm willing to compromise. Anybody using a bullshitting digital parrot needs to have their laziness highlighted.

  • Meta is tagging real photos as 'Made with AI,' say photographers
  • I'm not sure that it's unfair to say "made with AI" when a photo is AI-altered.

    Perhaps I'd have two labels: "Primarily Generated with AI" and "Edited with AI".

  • OpenAI and Anthropic are ignoring an established rule that prevents bots scraping online content
  • The genie is not out of the bottle. It's stuck in the neck as people realize how limited and useless the "AI" really is. The seeming ubiquity of it is a concerted marketing campaign pushed by people trying desperately to cash out before the bubble bursts.

    It's following the hype curve of cryptocurrency, then NFTs, only in fast-forward. For a while the "true believers" (just like with crypto and NFTs) will keep it going forward as they delude themselves into thinking that it will turn around "any time now" ... but in reality AI is already collapsing.

    See the problem is that while crypto and NFTs were wrapped in a whole metric fuckton of complicated jargon and terminology that laypeople couldn't understand, the various "AI" projects had free, public-facing services that were easy enough for even technophobes like me to be able to use ...

    ... and find out what utter shit they are.

    Emergency Dice

    Are these practical? Or are they just nerdy flex? I don't care. I find them delightful! The pill-box keychain filled with pill-sized dice is going to be on my person all the time. And for "formal occasions" (like gaming conventions) the pendant filled with them will be around my neck and ready ...

    What to carry in case you suddenly need dice and don't have them.
