I think it's funny that you can't really prep for this. It's going to be a slow collapse, slowly churning and making it impossible for anyone to survive. As critical infrastructure fails, food, water sources dry up, and the only solution anyone is capable of giving: "Try biking to work". Realistically it should be "get ready for an apocalypse." No amount of prep will leave you untouched.

I mean, yeah. That's because they were tasked with something they had never done before. Given a product that's absolutely awful from even a marketing perspective. Gollum? Really?

Fascism is all the rage everywhere at the moment. Shit sucks. And the people in power are basically like, "we need minorities to murder"

To be fair, people are having their right to exist being questioned, and some people just became second class citizens by law recently. It's kind of a big deal.

To be fair, I do see some signs of it here as it's grown. It wasn't like this even five days ago, where you would see downvotes on comments that weren't inherently just toxic or just being assholes. But lately, I see more downvotes for people stating a differing opinion to the majority, or even asking questions. To me that's usually the start of the toxicity.

The enemy of my enemy....isn't like my best friend or anything, but I sure am cheering them on...
But in all honesty, as much as I love the idea of fediverse. I really do want a "town square" that's moderated by the community. I would love something like wt.social. or a wikipedia equivalent to Twitter.

People's driving senses are so fucking bad, I can't imagine them flying. It'll be in the news often I guess "car crashes into building while trying to back up." "car flies into power lines thousands without power" well I guess that's fairly typical already.

Fascist gonna fascism. In the face of a right wing court overturning people's human rights. Talking about a culture war while the world burns due to something they refuse to even believe, and suddenly best of friends with Putin, while trump talks about getting a dictatorship in place, while CPAC runs a statement "we are all domestic terrorists".

You guys have to be the most ignorant, and least empathetic humans ever born.

I do wish kbin showed the magazine instance on the very top instead of bottom of the comments. Or on a side bar.

I mean, I tend to bet on the average person's stupidity. So I'd answer yes?

Because we need a safeguard for people? We should as a society alleviate suffering. We shouldn't surrender to dehumanizing, or ignoring them. Although as your comment suggests, we shouldn't give a shit either way

No.

"my anecdotal industry experience trumps your stats" you don't sound like you have a very unbiased opinion brah

What a fucking circus the republican party is. Everyone from the supreme court justices to these turds in office are nothing but clowns willing to sell the rights of everyone and their own mother to the highest corporate bidder. Even the "old school republicans" turned out to be facist shits. I guess they always were.

Putting my political leanings aside, I'm honestly fascinated by the transformation of the Republican party over the past decade. The 'law and order' party is now rallying around a former president accused of violating the Espionage Act, which is no small crime. Not only are they supporting him, but they're actively fundraising off the indictment.

What's even more intriguing is the claim by some Republicans that this indictment is evidence of a 'two-tier' justice system lol. I would love to see any of his supporters actually read the indictment. It's interesting to see how Trump continues to shape the party, even out of office. The 2024 elections are going to be a very revealing moment for the GOP. Regardless of your political views, I think we can all agree that it's going to be a wild ride.

I remember reading about how the Nazi soldiers would beat small babies on rocks to kill them. I mean, it's just orders right? And these people aren't humans to conservative anyways

Currently utilizing it in washington state. One of the first. Here's the biggest part: you need to spend one hour everyday doing this. It's basically meditation because you can't have anything interrupt you or do something else. You can split that into two thirty minutes sessions but fuck as a single father Its been impossible to find the time.

I dunno. I always believe the underdog with a lot to lose.

Probably moral guidelines that are left leaning. I've found that chatGPT 4 has very flexible morals whereas Claude+ does not. And Claude+ seems more likely to be a consumer facing AI compared to Bing which hardlines even the smallest nuance. While I disagree with OP I do think Bing is overly proactive in shutting down conversations and doesn't understand nuance or context.

I thought it was currently invite only? Is that not the case?
