I’ve been in the field for over 20 years. Managed to dodge the shit, but I DID get my thumbnail bitten off once, and the same guy give a select few of us matching scars on the backs of our hands where he sank his teeth in and then tried to rip the flesh off the bone
Good times
So, if i rip off an AI author, I will only owe royalties to the author the AI ripped off?
Hi! I’m not sure if you intended it this way, but your shows up in “discuss online”, and in order for me to comment where the other two comments are, it is asking me to sign in, which I already am
You’ll notice that those 2 comments, including your intro, are not here where this comment is
Is this community somehow separate from Lemmy?
If it is, I can say that my involvement will be zero, unless I can comment with ease, without logging into another system
Sorry I’m confused but I’m sorta new to all of this as well
(points to places that do not experience significant deficits in daylight hours due to Earth’s tilt)
“See! These places even do it, so no one else should either! (Also because I personally don’t like it)”
Still wrong, regardless of the “reasons”
Considering that I ended up getting banished from my personal bubble, I’m betying that I would have ended up on the outside of that wall anyway, so yeah!
This article seems to be based around an assumption that the entire story of what is going on in Ukraine is obvious on its face. What is obvious is that the level of smoke and mirrors employed in this situation is on a generational scale. There are adults who were not alive to witness the last time we witnessed this level of obfuscation, control of the narrative, and use of the age old tactic of distraction
Besides all of that, this article seems to pick and choose its obvious points and disregard many others
All of that is to say that this is part of the overall effort, a position which is further supported by the fact that this article is printed by the esteemed simplicius. You know, that renowned author of insightful commentary that we all know so well
To bad it’s because of “plummeting sales numbers”. That is the effect of a cause that has been underway for much longer than the past 6 months. The effect of the last 6 months is, unfortunately, a blip at most
For me, it was the massive uptick in bans that proved the manipulation was real
I mean, you DO understand that the current situation involves granularity like we have never witnessed before, algorithmic fuckery that we have been warned about, and the fact that access to Twitter data in controlled by the guy who initiated all of the fuckery involving twitter, right? What I’m saying is that your standard for evidence is not in touch with the current reality. Fortunately, this guy can’t seem to hide his intentions, so we really don’t need an in depth analysis. The only ones who would wish for the rest of us to demand such a thing in order to believe what we are seeing in front of our very eyes are the ones who would benefit from the truth being obscured… Oh. I think I understand now
If it is done by skinheads then it is automatically NOT punk. Just like No Doubt does not make “ska”, but especially, very much, absolutely more so!
Some of them even fathered children while doing so. If those children are not given every possible support available to it then by their government, every monetary, food, social, health, etc, then that government is creating illegitimate children, which speaks to the legitimacy of the government itself
What do you mean? Of COURSE we do!

Perfection
Ya. Just wait til RFK gets a hold of this! The mental gymnastics will astound
Having been in a similar situation when I was young, having since worked, professionally, with teenage boys in a very close environment (staff basically lived 24/7 in a group housing situation for a combination of wards of the state/ adjudicated offenders/ “problem” kids, for 4 or 5 days at a stretch), and having to still enforce boundaries with some toxic parents, I have to be real with you…
You are going to have to steel yourself and force yourself to get out of that situation and just live life. It is going to be HARD. You are going to have to set your ego completely aside. You are going to have to tell yourself that you are playing a LONG game and just persist for as long as it takes. You are going to have to abandon EVERYTHING that you assume is what your life is going to be about, and start out into the world like the archetypal “Fool”.
Keep firm hold of your values, but prepare yourself to be rid of EVERYTHING else. That might include your dignity, your social position, what others who you care about think about you.
And you are going to have to press your luck. HARD
There is a chance, though, that you might come out on the other side, years from now, able to hold your head high because you have proven yourself, to yourself. That is the only thing that will matter. You just might be able to look back on your life and realize that you performed WAY better than you once thought you would. It will be VERY satisfying, and it will make the tough times seem worth it.
I wish I could offer you more, but the above describes the journey I have found myself to have undertaken, and, as dirt poor as I am, I have good friends, solid relations with select family members, concrete things that I am proud to have accomplished, and an understanding of the world that I remain surprised to have acquired.
It was very, very hard at times. I took some serious risks and managed to choose goals that turned out to be worth it in ways that I could not have imagined.
It is up to you. Your ace in the hole right now is that you are young. Take chances, but try to avoid going against the values that you hold. Regrets are a bitch.
Go for it.
I have family, DEVOUT Christians, that live in the actual holy land. I asked them “who is that?” in response to their posting a picture of white-as-fuck Jesus on the Facebook page for the family village. They have yet to respond
Someone, who can stomach it, please post this on r/anarcho-capitalism or r/Austrian economics. Those morons just LOVE this guy
There was a TON of organizing happening 10 years ago. Then Obama got reelected and everybody, except the people trying to do the organizing, went back to watching dancing with the stars
Nobody wanted to listen then, so now we are all getting to enjoy the same hand basket
Oh, and I forgot about the select few who decided that THEIR perspective outranked everybody else’s, and used their petit tyranny to remove some very good willed people from certain organizing spaces
So, now some of us get to at least watch while those select few get hammered by this bullshit first.
Looking at YOU Monica
Good damn! Some stories are better left untold
