Why would it be a threat to the entertainment industry? I thought they were all excited about being able to cut costs with AI.

It’s actually much worse than that.

AI will reinforce delusional thinking. This is definitely not good.

Well, obviously they’re the wrong kind of Semites, not the Chosen People. Psssh

Ohh, I just now made that connection! Clever.

Not all Israelis, sure, but settlers definitely. Nobody’s forcing them to attack Palestinians and destroy their property.

Blaming an entire ethnic group for the actions of a few is textbook racism.

I don’t know Vanilla’s politics, but he performed for Trump. So did the Village People, though, so who knows. Maybe Trump’s a fan and threw a huge wad of cash at him.

There needs to be a distinction made between somebody renting out their downstairs to make ends meet vs. those people who buy up dozens of houses.

You’re not wrong. I’m just saying, if you want to make that point, you should compare per capita.

Yeah, but those other stats are raw numbers. Okay, we have a higher number of unhoused people and food-insecure people, but we also have a higher number of people, period. If you wanna make a point, it has to be per capita. I like how the first stat got this right, but the others did not.

When you share with Facebook, you share with Trump.

You’re saving an already low-quality stream into a lossy format. Just use Soulseek.

What’s interesting is that some people read this and think it means “bigotry isn’t a problem anymore”, instead of “the rich use bigotry to control the masses”. You have to address bigotry as well as the economic issues.

Okay, they “don’t pay taxes”, but the government still takes the money and then returns it if they ask for it (i.e. file a tax return). That isn’t quite the same as not paying.

Also, you have to be stupidly poor to get all of your taxes returned.

People are going to take a shit in them.

Sure, somebody will. But the system will take note of that person, and then they don’t get to ride again. Or they have to pay a fine. Or whatever.

Believe it or not, same result.

I don’t think that anybody should have nuclear weapons. Do you support assassinating scientists?

I’m not trying to defend BestBuy or DoorDash. This is entirely on the driver.

You are defending Best Buy in the very next sentence.

DoorDash is designed to deliver food, not expensive electronics. You can bet that if somebody designed a delivery service for electronics, they wouldn’t make it this easy to steal shit. If the driver decides to take your food and eat it themselves, you’re out…what? $25-35? A $700+ laptop is a whole other level.

I don’t look both ways before crossing the street, and I’ve never been hit! It must be safe!
