Jewish community voices concern: 'Canada is becoming more hostile toward us by the day'

What kind of a shitty excuse for a human thinks war crime investigations are "hostility"?

Well there's obviously psychotic, and then there's obviously psychotic

Yeah my main worry is that people are so unbelievably obsequious towards billionaires and reich-wing "leaders" that even an obviously psychotic one might not get them to pause and think about what the hell they're doing

feel like hangovers from an old mediaeval version of the language.

This is pure conjecture on my part, but I think that might be the explanation.

Also like @Forester@pawb.social alluded to, English really isn't one language, but more like 4(+) languages in a trench coat pretending to be one. Lots of weird shit that really doesn't make much sense unless viewed from a perspective of language development & history

Oh shit, I never realised that was Jones in A Scanner Darkly.

But yes, it's such a good film. Definitely in my top 10 of all time.

Smart and hot, what's not to like?

But yeah, "what dumb people think smart people sound like" seems to be a real theme with conservative influences and politicians.

Same with how conservatives think posturing, bluster, strong-arm tactics, unwillingness to compromise etc. are a sign of strength – "how weak people think strong people act".

And as we all know, the best way to prevent anyone from attacking you is to make sure you're as defenseless as possible

What

Seems like a run of the mill liberal whose information about "the left" comes from far right talking points:

But there is a problem with the way in which discussion about family values and having babies is split into two extreme camps – the trad-wife Right and the “abolish the family” Left. For any young couple starting out, the choices seem to be to either raise your non-binary child in defiance of the nuclear family, or to go full homestead and demand that your wife wear gingham and churn her own butter amongst a multitude of children.

Like, what the fuck is this shit?

The discussion about "family values" might seem like this if you only listen to what conservatives are claiming about what "the left" wants.

the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working

That's a feature, not a bug: the entire point is to make it very hard to see the effects of the regime's policies, so that they can just claim everything is working as intended and the rest of the world won't be able to verify it.

Russia has been doing the same for years (well, decades really). They fixed their HIV epidemic by stopping the collection of data on infections

edit: ah, and the article says as much. That'll teach me to comment before reading

Is there a yoga community? They might be into this sort of stuff too

Third, try to enjoy your life.

The irony

lol no he wasn't, that was never ever going to happen

Oliskin. Mikki Hiiri sentään joskus tehnyt jotain hyödyllistä ja tuonut iloa ihmisille

Unfortunately for all of us, all you have to do is look at history and you'll see that a lot of people do want to – especially without consent

I didn't mean that they never called it a "chatbot", but that they treat it like a regular meatbag source, more or less.

But yeah, maybe take a break, you've clearly decided to be ANGY about this for some reason.

That's… reassuring.

This reminds me of that scene from Fight Club:

"Which bank do you work for?"

"A major one"

Same here, and pretty notably I keep getting more left wing instead of more conservative and the same's been happening to my friends too, so even the idea that you automatically get more conservative as you age is pretty suspect.

Shit, right now in Finland the under 25's are more conservative than Millennials, at least based on voting patterns

Right, which just calls into question how "anti-woke" it is. Does that count as a critical approach to LLM outputs to you?
