Kichae,

The system required personally ambitious people to the right thing for everyone instead of the thing that would get them further ahead as an individual. In the face of the wealth and power of the oil industry, corruption was almost inevitable, sadly.

It’s litigation around what a machine can freely use in its learning model.

No, its not that, either. It's litigation around what resources a person can exploit to develop a product without paying for that right.

The machine is doing nothing wrong. It's not feeding itself.

Kichae,

Worth nothing that Augustus used the title "princeps", which was also an existing title in the Republic. And his power came from holding existing offices. He was careful to make himself the ruler of Rome using the existing governing framework.

He just negotiated that he would hold these positions for life.

This is the same thing Julius Caesar did, except the existing title he held - dictator - carried too much political baggage.

Kichae,

You're asking two questions here. One is about some kind of purity test, which... You gotta let that one go. The crowd isn't here to pass judgement on you, and asking it to do so is a kind of psychological self harm.

The other is about whether using a particular Reddit front end supports Reddit. The answer to that is an unqualified "yes".

The two together point to you wanting to use Reddit, but not wanting to be judged poorly for doing so, and that's an anxiety state you don't deserve to live in. You either believe strongly enough about not supporting Reddit for your own reasons to not use it, or you don't. And that's ok, because they're your beliefs. You're not some soldier in some holy war.

No idea, but the realGulDukat Twitter account is active on Mastodon: @realGulDukat

Kichae,

I thought he did this 5 years ago, and then never heard anything of it again. Was that a fever dream, or did he fail to find his blackjack and hookers?

Kichae,

I think it was before that, but after publishing lists of U of T faculty he wanted his incel army to harass and threaten.

Have they remembered to ask Boebert to abstain from making pork porn during Biden's impeachment carnival, too?

Kichae,

You wouldn't be so smug, with all your fancy shmancy hydrogen atoms, if we had ever found Nemesis!

So, the article this is pulling from is a 2003 academic paper on class, race, and gender representation in American sitcoms. It's not an LLM produced bit of of insanity, nor is it someone who has never watched the show saying something unknowingly unintelligible.

It's a joke. Some dry humour, possibly put in there to see if peer reviewers had any idea about the then current television sitcom landscape.

An admin deleted all my uploads and I have no clue why (lemmy.world)

I have been uploading comic art images by Moebius for several weeks almost daily to the !eurographicnovels community, where I´m a moderator myself. All those images have disappeared. Modlog says the images have been deleted by “admin”. Modlog gives no reason for this but says the images were later restored by “admin”...

Kichae,

if abusive admins on a power trip will just arbitralily wipe my stuff “accidentially” whenever they feel like.

You've jumped to a lot of conclusions here.

You're using a website that's operated by volunteers, that's seen a ton of abuse from spammers and bots, that's run on software that's pre-version-1 and that lacks advanced mod tools, and that likely has an admin team that's using some hacked together third party scripts or tools to try and identify bad actors. It's not only possible, but entirely reasonable, that one of those tools may have falsely identified you as a spam account, and someone either just ran a script that banned a bunch of people, or got into a flow state and just hit the wrong button out of habit.

Pointing fingers and accusing others of bad behaviour out of pure speculation while you're both stomping your feet and having a fit because you feel hurt while simultaneously telling others that the lens they're using is "pure speculation" is... Not productive, to put it mildly.

Kichae,

theatrical appearance of competence and authority

No, no, no. It's maintaining the visage of wealth (which is also authority). It has nothing to do with looking impressive or competent, and everything to do with signalling what economic class you're supposed to come from to belong there.

Kichae,

If he can get QI removed, take the win, then people could sue him for any of his dirty cop actions.

Kichae,

"I believe other people's human rights should be violated because I don't like them" is a great position to have right up until you're the disliked party.

I imagine you picture yourself as always the top dog. Protected, even, by the belief that even if you find yourself face down in the mud, the people you gleefully abuse will not step on your head to let you drown in the muck.

And you're probably right that they wouldn't. Because they're probably better people than you are, having had to learn empathy in a world that doesn't think much of them.

But I kind of hope you choke on dirt.

Kichae,

Apparently they just think that their own disengagement with their kids' education is a conspiracy against them personally.

Kichae,

Gender identity is a advanced topic that children don’t have the ability to rationalize.

If you believe that children cannot comprehend "boy" and "girl", then I don't know what to tell you.

Other than we know what all of this is really about. None of y'all are at all subtle about it, nor are you even a quarter as smart as you think you are.

Kichae,

Yes, Biden hitting the rail workers with a back-to-work order was a blow to labour, but I think it's important to understand how much of what politicians does is symbolic, and, importantly, reactive.

The symbolism of Biden not just showing support for striking auto workers, but also working the picket line, is a MASSIVE. And it reflects the growing and persistent public support for striking workers in the US. He's not sticking his neck out here, he's trying to catch a wave in public sentiment, and his engagement has the potential to grow that wave even further.

That's huge, and it speaks to some truly significant shifts in the labour movement.

I don't think someone who's mentally healthy engages in random antisocial acts like this. Environmental stresses, or physiological issues, driving impulsive antisocial behaviour seem likely to be an underlying issue here.

Like, I get that people by and large like to blame individual actors for shit like this, but these things are almost always driven by chronic family and broader social issues.

Kichae,

Indeed. People like to claim that capitalism is the most efficient system, but what it's efficient at is transferring wealth to the ownership class.

That's what efficiency means in context, and in practice.

Kichae,

That doesn't really answer the question, though. Most violence is done by people who are habitually violent, and most violence is not completely random and committed against strangers.

Dude is broken, but someone being traumatized and repeating a cycle of aggression and trauma doesn't actually explain any particular incident they have.

Kichae,

Here's a google prompt for you: "raspberry pi police"

Kichae,

Indeed. An easy and straightforward method of regulatory capture is to convince politicians that the regulations just don't need to be enforced. "The rules are fair! We totally agree to them! Now, just let us police ourself, which you know we'll do a good job of because we agreed with your rules!"

Kichae,

Now do 1985.

Never mind, I'll do it myself: NES games were $50, which today is about $185.

Kichae,

People are taking your bait on the 3rd party bullshit, but this cannot be overlooked:

Conservatives fund the NDP

Don't choke on your tinfoil or anything. Especially not in the name of supporting a right wing party LARPing as something progressive.

Kichae,

Yes, this is ultimately what it means, which means serious effort needs to be made to not let this die down.

Serious effort that I don't believe will happen, as efforts would need to be constantly escalating to remain in the news cycle.
