I really sincerely don’t mean this as an insult OP, but this post just makes it obvious you had a pretty safe and sheltered childhood.

Kids in my school were absolutely clubbing drinking, hooking up, doing drugs, getting pregnant etc. at 15 or 16.

Relatable

My entire company is based around AI.

I need AI to do my job though.

And then in a couple years lemmy goes the way of reddit and suddenly were flooded with right wing bots and bad actors spamming lemmy with misinformstion and hate and they scream and cry whenever you try to do anything about it.

Leftists deserve our own space on the internet.

You can tell an American made this meme.

Yes, article 10 of the ECHR guarentees freedom of expression.

Wtf are you talking about?

If starmer kissing hisbarse a littke bit is what it takes to get some kind of support for Ukraine, then in OK woth that.

If this was about actual critisism of the BBC and them not living up to actual journalistic standards, then i could agree with this.

But we know its not, its because they disagree with his picture of reality. So a shitty chinese propagabda source with blatantly lower journalistic standards would be seen as a legitimate source, simply for being anti-west or pro China.

Is there a distro that just has wildly high minimum requirements for no reason whatsoever?

I dibt think artist shoukd have to prove that though. Abd while im sure its pretty uncommon this would stop an artist sending someone else to a con to sell their works if they cant make it themselves.

Or would be fairly easy to spoof, maybe the guy selling AI can actually draw well enough to put a rough sketch down, or can pull someone elses vod as proof.

I get that it might be “obvious” in this case, but how do they actually prove it?

There are lots of artists that get called AI because theiir style is the kind that AI uses. So how do they make sure they dont kick one of those people out.

She can Vercinget-in-my-bed

(Yes i know Gauls arent Goths but i cant make a bad pun out of Alaric or Theodoric)

I remember going to a mandatory counselling session at Uni as they were having a big push to be seen as pro mental health.

And she asked me sonething like “Do you think [university]'s mental health policies have had a positive impact on your wellbeing?”

And i said “no, it all feels very forced and like the university only wants it to appear like its taking steps to address mental health issues and things like these mandatory counselling sessions actually make me feel worse since it boths puts thst fakeness front and center and takes away my autonomy when it comes to how i address my mental health”

And she just stops for a long moment, looks at me in the eyes with a slight panic before putting on a forced smile snd saying “okay im just going to put down that you said yes so we can continue :)”

This is what i keep telling myself will someday happen to me. I just have to get a few more piercings, a few more tatttoos, grow my hair a little longer…

Same

Pisses me off to no end that the libs and even many leftists in America are like “Trump is a fascist and they need to be stopped!!!.. by someone else while I sit and whine on the internet, or mayyyybe go out and hold a quippy sign so I can post it on reddit, if im feeling extra spicy”

And then wonder how the republicans get away with this shit time and time again with no consequences.

Look at somewhere like France. The government tries to raise the retirement age a few years and fucking riots start and the country grinds to a halt. And thats why France has some of the best workers rights in the entire world.

If you want things to change you actually have to do something about it besides complaining on the internet

Yes and in that meme its not “americans” its “former colonials”

Like i assume youre not purposely plotting out how youre going to word this to excuse Americans, its just an unconscious thing, its a bias just like evryone has.

This is pretty typical American revisionism. Everything bad that happened durung colonial times was done by “the crown” or “colonists” or even “the english” but when its something they want to take credit for then those same peope were Americans.
