  • Check again, conservatives are no longer fiscally conservative and have not been for several decades. That facade has entirely fallen away to reveal the real:

    • fundamentalist christians
    • racists
    • filthy rich people who want tax cuts for the rich (do not confuse this with being fiscally conservative)
  • Thanks for testing that

  • Millennial rule

  • literally everyone is failing the young disenfranchised men

    ftfy. your whole comment is just an example of the fact that when 'you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression'. I know thats not what these men want to hear but there's no other way to deal with. I live in a country that just removed rights to a safe abortion , and billionaires are fucking over the entire working class women and men, but please tell me more about how 'women having too much power' is the problem

    you are specifically talking about young men with outdated ideas about labor division based on gender. They want their bang maid and they are pissed they don't get it. Guys who accept that everyone has to work, so everyone has to do housework don't have trouble dating. Straight women are dating someone. So either young men and women are struggling with dating, or the struggles of one demographic of men (white conservatives) are vastly overblown (by them).

  • Seconded.

  • Most women (and men) believe the things their parents teach them.

    The thing with conservatives is they want to 1) prevent any other information flowing to these women, religious indoctrination only 2) get these women pregnant young so that they don't have a chance to gain independence

    So yeah in those cases you have grown women who believe these things. The Duggars are an example of the 'quiver full' movement in action. Letting their son abuse their daughters young so that they get used to it and defend it as normal.

  • agreed, its a balance like most things

  • Also note that in a federated network fragmentation is not bad and this is the shift in thinking everyone needs coming from facebook/twitter/reddit.

    Those networks didn't talk to each other so you had to fight a battle to get everyone in the same place for the best experience. This centralized power and data and allowed people to exploit you.

    In a federated network, you get the content whereever you are and everyone has incentive to share. Duplicates create a robust ecosystem that cannot be taken down by 1 power hungry individual.

    There is no reason to have a single community for any topic.

  • I feel like I'm missing the greater message between the title and meme, but I like the comic 🙃

  • so first, we generally agree and I don't want to get into an argument with you.

    If cancel culture means 'deplatforming' to you, thats great. I agree deplatforming works. But the term 'cancel culture' is deliberately vague, does include boycotting, and is just one of the many terms made up by the right to create a 'boogey man'. I tend to throw these terms back in their faces as laughable ('woke', 'CRT' - all the same badly defined bullshit that just means 'things I don't like'). If your strategy is to embrace, rehab, and legitimize the terms thats fine too.

  • But also get real that you aren't going to cut fuel consumption if you continue to create a system that regularly sees 4 seater 3 ton machines, which require paved roads, used to move a single person around. That society isn't making it to the future. it can change or go extinct.

  • Imagine living in a capitalist society and not paying attention to what you purchase. Might as well be cattle on a feed lot.

  • lol 'cancel culture' used to be called 'boycotting' / 'speaking with your wallet' used to be called 'having an opinion'

    its not new, obviously we should punch nazis, and you can be certain anyone who says the words 'cancel culture' unironically is a tool with less than a 10 year memory span, max.

  • let them take baby steps

  • But when Trump doesn't pay his taxes it's because hes 'a smart businessman'.

    Someone get his rambling on the books as law, then we can prosecute him under his own laws like we're doing with the mishandling of classified information.

  • very hit and miss. It's okay if Im trying to learn something new, and once or twice it has found and suggested some fix that I probably wouldn't have thought of otherwise - but it also makes up methods & syntax and then you're playing 'whack a mole' to figure out where it hallucinated.

    I think right now it's not really boosting my productivity much, but I think in another 5ish years it could be better.

  • I'm curious what your area of expertise is? I'm interested in using ai for a programming assistant, but it seems an entirely different skillset than, say, a language model. I assume some models will be good in 1 area and some models in another
