  • I'm not necessarily a fan of using words from nazi-germany to describe MAGA shit, because it allows the maga-fascists to say they're not as bad as the nazi-fascists (which I believe is true, for now). But if you're gonna do, I don't think this is how you should do it.

    I don't have to explain that if you use a thing and put a new word for it, you get a new thing (for example, New York is different than York). But the thing is, you can't always know what connotations people have with the added word. A toy car and a super car are both cars, but you know one of those doesn't have an engine. The word toy downgrades how serious it is compared to just the word car alone. The opposite is true for summer camp and concentration camp, where concentration adds a different meaning to the word camp.

    Because Auswitz is most of all known as a place where millions of people were killed and, putting a new word in front most of the time will make it actually sound less awful. Alligator Auswitz, at least to me, makes it sound like a less deadly place than 'normal' Auswitz.

    Auswitz Alcatraz on the other hand sounds like a deadlier version of the 'normal' Alcatraz.

  • Edit: original comment here was a reply to a different comment so removed it here. But now I commented here, what made you doubt about it? I ask because I don't think there is AI yet that can output text that is this consistent.

  • Guess you never used image editing software if you think they do perfect kerning

  • This might get me a lot of downvotes, but when ai 'draws' text it generates each individual letter which makes them a bit wiggly and often not on a straight line. The fact these are all grammatically correct sentences all on perfectly straight lines give me the impression this isn't raw output. Could be that the image was made with text later added on top though, but even the most advanced ai generators aren't this consistent with text.

  • Don't forget it's not only about having the right skin colour, having the right political views also matters.

  • and just need to hate somebody

    It's not always hate, sometimes there is no emotion at all and they just need a scapegoat.

  • Had to shoot it sadly.

    For a good reason, right? Right?

  • Helemaal waar, en toch ben ik positief verrast.

  • It appears that while content federates across instances, posts and their associated comment threads are tied to that instance. If the instance shuts down, that post is gone.

    What content is there besides posts? Isn't federated content not only 'visible' from other instancez but also copied to there? Maybe you don't know either, i'm just figuring stuff out along the way.

  • In the Netherlands there is also a class-action lawsuit coming up, guess there is roughly the same amount of android users here. Maybe a bit more. Will be interesting to see how much lower that amount will be.

  • Agree, i never mind when any person who did evil things stands up when another person does something else evil. The more people calling the evil deed out the better.

  • "It'd be like if a woman's boobs suddenly got huge from May to August," she added.

    "Stick a guy in an ice cold lake in the middle of summer and his penis will shrink to winter size," he said.

  • She. Did. Not. Ask. You. To. Fix. It. 📢

    But thanks for the riddle, I liked it.

  • No it's just the jeakini-bottom

  • As others said, you'll get by with just speaking English - if you're serious think of what would matter aside from language: a life in Italy will be very different than a life in German, not only the weather but also the work culture. Also think of which countries 'match' your education, being somewhere with loads of jobs in your expertise will make things a lot easier. I'd advise anyone able to move from US to Europe to take a leap of faith - if it doesn't work out and the US has by then returned to normal you can just move back and if it doesn't work out and america didn't return to normal you'll likely be happy at least you got out before it got real bad.

  • To give you one example, there where a few million protesting against all that happening. Not sure if that falls under national pride, but it sure is societal pride.

  • To be honest I had never heard of Bob Vylan before, so the people screaming they should be banned (so they dont become known?) reached the opposite effect, at least for me personally.
