Ah yes, servers, generally being known as doing nothing and being very well compensated for it.

I still have a positive view of the technology, it's the people who demand that they control every aspect of it that I'm weary of.

So it is a political compass meme...

Ha ha, I have screwed you over and myself in the process making me the victor 😎

Capitalism is this. This was always the logical conclusion when wealth and success were so intrinsically linked.

No, but plenty of other people do, and the person that shot him clearly hasn't been doing much else to "help".

So, either put your money where your mouth is, or stop spouting the same demagoguery bullshit and find an actually useful thing to suggest.

What, like preaching a message of peace to its billion plus followers?

I mean, the borg kind of started the whole series when they killed Sisko's wife.

We may begin to heal from all the hertz we've received...

Sadly, yes.

I think the implication is that they are too eager to have access to fire. The entire thing is somehow both ham-fisted and arcane at the same time. Quite the line to skirt.

"People I often disagree with taking a stance opposite of mine, and thus are wrong"

"You didn't use AI, the person whose content you're spreading did, so it's fine!"

It still propagates the use of AI, especially in the form of propaganda (even if it's an argument most of us can agree with). This can only be bad.

I would argue that no meme counts. That's what makes them memes.

Insidious...

What does it matter when people who use this as an excuse to divide people just make up bullshit to justify their argument no matter what people respond with?

Sounds like someone who gets set to always go to voicemail.

It's very easy to justify your opinions when, if someone tries to take a counter position, "Oh, I didn't mean that situation so I'm still right".

The problem with this isn't that they're saying that problems exist... it's that it's so simplistic and overly-broad that it attacks broadly without ever aiming at anyone. You can just say "I wasn't aiming for you" without ever specifying specifically what you did mean that anyone trying to bring context or have an actual discussion about the problem (and thus find a way to make things better) can be seen as just being argumentative and part of that "toxic masculinity".

Talking about it and trying to find root causes, and maybe a way to fix the issue, is not perpetuating this problem. Whining about it then shutting anyone down who does the former is perpetuating it. All it does is breed divisiveness and tribalism.

Crackers. Don't. Matter.

Because it makes every argument it's part of generic. It's just a cheap and easy way to make something that automatically agrees with you. No need to put effort or thought into it, just spawn an argument that supports you without anything to back it up.
