A study just came out that was posted in Hexbear showing at least 15% of Reddit content is corporate botting so we should just have some fun with LLMs and AstroTurf it instead like everyone else is doing

Money isn’t the most important thing in life. If your dream is giving people unjustifiable amounts of shrimp and cocktail sauce then you have to shoot your shot.

Investing in production instead of property portfolios like FOOLS

  1. Israel moves military assets from Gaza to near Lebanon
  2. Israel strikes Iranian embassy
  3. Israel hopes it triggers Iranian retaliation supported by Hezbollah (we are here)
  4. Israel “needs to defend itself” from Iran and Hezbollah so it invades Lebanon and razes Beirut
  5. Jared Kushner tweets about rebuilding “Paris on the Mediterranean” but this time make it white

My ADHD interests: intensely researching a topic that has no prospect of financial reward and wanting to talk about it to people who don’t care

420stalin69,

I think the weakness of Ukraine is also narrative.

Whatever narrative they push, it’s completely unrelated to the truth.

When they wanted western sympathy and when the western funds were rolling, it was the plucky tractor brigade killing Russians at $1.40 a kill.

Now that they aren’t getting another aid package, the front lines are about to collapse and Russia will be in Warsaw by summer.

It’s all bullshit. As in it’s unrelated to the truth. The truth has no relationship to what Zelenskyy says.

The fact Ukraine is starting to push an imminent collapse narrative is a key factor in me believing collapse is not in fact imminent.

420stalin69,

Donbas = Palestine if Palestine had a powerful friend to kick Israel out of Gaza.

420stalin69,

But it probably is the case that Ukraine was stomping Russia for pennies on the dollar earlier in the war.

When the aid was flowing the narrative was that this was a “good investment” which is why they sold you with this “pennies on the dollar” angle.

Put down the slava pipe and have a look at what the cost basis is for western military gear vs Russian stuff. It’s rarely better than 5:1 even for basic stuff like shells and advanced stuff runs at around 10:1. The idea that it was “pennies on the dollar” is crazy shit.

It’s all narrative. It doesn’t have a relationship to facts on the ground. It’s a sales pitch.

420stalin69,

Given he received and suppressed legal advice about this, isn’t he here tacitly admitting to a war crime?

420stalin69,

Because it’s a protectorate, an extension of US power. It’s close enough to seize the Suez Canal if required, and joins with Gibraltar as the nodes for controlling access to the Mediterranean.

Plus it prevents any kind of pan-Arab state forming that would want to include Egypt, which was considered to be on the cards in the 1970s and 80s, and can be used and is frequently used to bomb US enemies such as Syria and Iran with less risk of igniting a direct confrontation because it’s done by proxy.

Make a GDPR complaint and hopefully Facebook get a huge fine

What if Hillary and Donald are secretly working together.

After all they’re both connected to didnt-kill-himself and attended each others weddings and their daughters are friends, etc.

And now she’s throwing a democrat election opportunity under the bus for his benefit, for a second time.

But Trump would shoot even more bunny’s

420stalin69,

So a public subsidy for big tech to get free code?

420stalin69,

If the public are paying for it, then it becomes a subsidy.

And good luck getting the US government to require the code to be GPLed. That’s even less likely to happen than a public subsidy for OSS at all.

They typically do the opposite and require “commercialization” to ensure the benefit of the publicly-funded technology is captured by their donors.

This is how it basically works in biotech, for example. Government grants to study the medicine and then when the scientists actually find something important it becomes a “public-private partnership” often without even a royalty for the public let alone making it a public good.

That’s not how government funding works in a modern democracy, unfortunately. It would amount to a cash transfer to big tech to make the public pay their R&D costs.

Israel is a US colonial project, these days.

How do people not realize supporting Biden is actually the epitome of privilege? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Imagine the mental gymnastics you have to go through to argue that not voting for a genocidal maniac is privilege. Basically what this person saying is that if you are Palestinian you should vote for and support the person who is actively enabling the genocide of your people because they are afraid of what Trump might do because...

420stalin69,

As though Palestinians must need to be able to trace their lineage back generations and have a history dating back millineia

And yet they can. Genetic testing shows the closest genetic relatives of the 2000-year old Hebrew population of Palestine and Galilee are Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syriacs.

Ironically, the Ashkenazi Jewish population have 60-80% European origin by mitochondrial (matrilineal) DNA.

The Jews mostly didn’t leave Palestine. They mostly converted to other religions.

The “Palestinian Arab” idea is pseudoscience in furtherance of genocide. It’s to deny the indigenous nature of the Palestinians. The arabicization of Palestine was mostly a matter of cultural exchange, much less than genetics. The Palestinians have been there for almost 5,000 years, and the Ashkenazi and Sephardic, etc, groups share some common ancestry with them.

The indigenous Hebrews (one of groups tribes who lived in the region) mostly converted to Christianity and Romanized by the 4th century then after the Arab conquest in the 7th century they largely converted to Islam. The local population was never removed or expelled. They simply changed their cultural practices over 2000 years, included by their neighbors, just like everywhere else did.

420stalin69,

I would never under any circumstances vote in favor of genocide.

Donald Trump shares image of Joe Biden bound and gagged (www.seattletimes.com)

Former president Donald Trump disseminated on social media on Friday an image of President Biden with his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged, the latest example of the Republican candidate’s use of increasingly violent rhetoric and imagery this campaign season....

The presence of the Chud Tailgate Murder Fantasy is incidental.

The qualifier “progressive” is used to describe a liberal who supports progressive social issues.

Supporting gay rights or feminism etc, that’s being a “progressive” (loosely speaking, it can be defined better than that.)

You seem to want to insist all liberals are progressive liberals but they aren’t.

That’s why the qualifiers “classical liberal” or “liberal conservatism” exist.

In some countries the “Liberal” party are the socially conservative faction of society.

You’re wrong to conflate liberalism with progressivism. That’s why they’re different words.

You’re also wrong to imply that progressive stances are “owned” by “liberals”.

You want to say “progressive liberal” is a tautology…. But it isn’t.

Boiling water feels really fucking hot which is why Celsius makes more sense
