If he's responsable for all this, i dont like him

Truly, thanks for being one of the people keeping lemmy alive - im a bit of a lurker, mostly upvoting and curating - occasionally commenting and adding in my own way - but i probably wouldnt still be here if it wasnt for all your memes bringing some levity to all the serious news and discussion

Thank you Picard Maneuver!

I think there is an uncomfortable connection being made by this art, as robot has etymological connections to slavery, and so do the hangings

My hatred of ai is towards the system, death to the system, not really towards the individual slaves which mediate it

Got curious, nyc has a population of 8.5m and a city budget of 116b$

If nyc was a state seperate from ny, then it would be the 12th largest state by population - just over washington state, and itd be the 5th highest budget in the nation - just under washington state

It feels way more rational after making that comparison - especially when coupled with how culturally and economically center stage nyc is to america and the world

Yeah the downvotes on yours make no sense to me, i was just adding to your point not even countering it, but the ratio is silly

Dosent to me at all

They didnt even really counter your point, they gave another perspective to form a stronger argument of what your message was already saying

Parents should teach and guide their children moderation, especially for such common and addictive substances like sugar, especially when without moderation serious health and quality of life damages can apply

If a parents goal is to raise healthy humans with a high quality of life - they should be teaching and guiding children into moderation, not prohibition and the shame that goes with it, not hedonism and the shamelessness that goes with that

Its not that sugar is some fearful substance that should be prohobited outright, but its also not a substance without issue and should be moderated and controlled if modersation is not yet possible for such a still-developing human

There are many such substances that need this parental guidance, sugar is just the most obvious one to younh parents - a toddler probably/hopefully isnt hitting a 40 or a roach

Sometimes i think about what justice would have to look like, what response would be appropriate to counterbalance all this sin. Then i think about how good it is that those in power cannot read minds yet.

This is so frustrating

The commenter was building on top of your argument

You said prohibition wasnt healthy

They said total absence of control wasnt healthy

They implicitly agreed with you that prohibition wasnt healthy

I then spell it out for you that the message being built, that almost certainly you also agree with, is that moderation is the answer.

A counterpoint turns a random point into a line, a line into a polygon, a polygon into a solid, etc.

That counterpoint gave your message an extra and important dimmension. They thought your message was correct but lacking neccisary nuance.

For some reason you got peeved with that, and i think that looks poorly on you, not anyone else.

Dont be a troll, this is pathetic.

Come back to this tomorrow and reread it if you have to.

I'm done, heres your three paragraphs though, i still love you.

The definition of fascism is the marriage of corporation and state

• Benito Mussolini

This is part of what true fascism looks like

Bravo for accepting the inconvenience of actually leaving and making the statement.

In aggregate, it changes things from the bottom up.

We dont yet know if the assassin is from the left

Does he try to look like the devil, or does that apperance just like, manifest itself after doing enough evil?

secrecy orders have been imposed not only on inventions affecting military defense but also on those alleged to threaten economic stability, with critics noting that many such restrictions rest on speculative or unproven harms.

But also

The law applies broadly to all inventions in the United States for which a patent is filed or granted (35 U.S.C. § 181).

So if you really do have a society changing invention - one that could upset this capitalist or neoliberal world order - it is your duty to publically release it and not patent it

It is, yesterday when this was posted, a commenter zoomed in on the leafblower text and it was clearly generated

I will maintain ownership of the repository, but I won't pass it down to anyone else. First, because I feel it's not up to me to decide who to pass the project down to, and second, because there is no one else to pass the project to.

"But I want and can maintain it, can I take it over?" Let me put it plain and simple: No! I don't know you, I don't trust you! Fork it and carry on!

Bravo

Is the process of tearing and chewing the ai art, he made actual art

Gang and nude are now censored words to some? Jeez
