Nationalism also works the other way. The wins of the privileged are framed as 'WE'RE winning!!'. Big companies exploit you more and profit? It's spun as The Economy is going well. GDP went up. That sounds good for you, doesn't it?
It's a common practice, a problem with authentic child actors is they generally change once the original actor hits puberty, so higher pitched adult voices are common.
One of the behind-the-scenes videos on a Ed Edd n Eddy disc had some funny stories of the voice actors meeting fans (e.g. Ed's VA spotting some kid watching the show on a TV while on vacation in Jamaica and throwing in a "huh huah, thut guy is funneh..") and Kevin's VA had to keep doing their voice since kids didn't believe her whenever she mentioned it.
On the other hand, AI recycling could be an issue on other platforms where user reputation matters more. We don't have ads or karma tallies by default so its less abusable here.
Putting resources into things simply because someone is willing to pay money for it is a huge problem in our world. Once we put a dent in poverty and other existential crises, then let's consider paying people millions and billions for simply entertaining people with skills and talent. Entertainment, arts and culture are certainly important, but their industrialization and overemphasis under capitalism comes at a very real cost, both to their art and entertainment itself, and to the rest of society.
Here's a related hill: I am for the abolition of the professional sports industry. Focus on local competitions, actual participation and sports that encourage socially-useful skills, like the Firemen's Olympics and its modern siblings.
I see plenty of typical* Americans on the streets who can barely plot their own country on a world map. At some point, it is an actual lack of information, ignorance, whether by their environment or their own disinterest, rather than some racial or nationalist prejudice. It's offensive and stupid, and shouldn't be excused, but sometimes I think it isn't even racism. Or, at least, their own racism - it's still the effect of a nationalist exceptionalist government and culture, so racism is still relevant to their ignorance regardless of what their own opinions, morals and character might be.
Now, all that said, there are millions who are just racist pieces of shit who know better. So fuck them.
I know the country isn't homogeneous and there is no typical American, but I'm not talking about just super rural folk or the centers of cities
Zionism is a movement which attempts to convince Jewish people that they are unsafe in their community, and can only be truly safe in the zionist ethnostate.
Antisemitism is a movement which attempts to make Jewish people unsafe in their community.
Zionism aligns in goals with antisemitism. They can both agree on making Jewish people feel unsafe enough to move to the zionist regime. In fact, in my country and at least a couple of others there's already been concrete evidence revealed of links between Zionist organizations and racist White Nationalist events, like shared speakers and copied rhetoric/memes as propaganda.
Other replies have already alluded to this, but it's important to state clearly.
This is not a phenomenon limited to Zionism, we see it with other separatist projects too, like the US Nation of Islam allowing the leader of the American Nazi Party to speak at some rallies, for example. [wikisummary],[famousimage]
Since when was 8GB RAM, let alone 8GB VRAM, a problem? Are you running ML models, video editing or some special games?? Or some weird poorly-written thing like Windows OS?
I know some people in the building profession who habitually call out everything in mm, as oppose to most people where I am using cm for most household measurements. So I'm not surprised to see measuring tape (esp a carpenting one) ignoring the redundant cm
We are not on those platforms, we have to opportunity to build something better here, so please don't bring along the repressive habits from TikTok, Discord or reddit. No need for personal attacks either.
I'm glad that Brian Thompson was killed, it was not a suicide. See? Different place, different culture. Let's embrace it!
My ISP doesn't even know I'm downloading communism 🏴☠️
Only one of those entities could realistically deduce I'm making this post, and there's no reason for them to care. Not that I'm particularly relevant to Western governments anyway. ¡Hola!
