definitely some ai involved

could you explain that? i don’t get how it’s petty.

fuck.

half? which ones do you think we don’t eat?

only one way to find out! but i would expect it might stick to the pan real bad.

given the context, i suspect it just means ‘good morning’

i reckon professionals are more likely to be pressured by their job to use AI, regardless of their own preference.

i reckon it’s about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_conflict

that is part of the joke, but i think the main part of the joke is that they’re responding to your comment asking if your comment federated in the negative, despite the fact that by being able to read and respond at all from another instance, it is clear that your comment did federate.

for someone who ain’t so plugged in to tech-bro corpo lingo, what is the difference between 2 and 3?

“He resisted his homosexual urges, and remained faithful to his heterosexual wife until the very day he shot himself.”

that doesn’t mean you refuse to treat us though, it just means your treatment might take the form of giving a referral to a specialist. you don’t refuse to treat a patient with glasses just cause you aren’t an optometrist.

i actually just learned this today, but apparently, in final fantasy tactics, there’s a monster that under certain extremely specific and rare circumstances, can use an attack that permanently and irreversibly transforms the target into a copy of the monster.

wow, that led me down a fuckin rabbit hole into the wee hours. Marcus Garvey was, uh, some piece of work.

that’s gotta be the most fucked up example of self censorship word replacement i’ve ever seen. ‘unalive’ sounds like something from 1984, but at least it means what it means. ‘repent’ instead of ‘rape’ sounds like you think sexual violence is a moral good.

but in short, no. the more serious the subject, the more important to speak plainly. if the subject isn’t appropriate for the situation, then drop the subject, don’t sugarcoat the language.

i’m 35, took AP us history in high school in california, and i’m pretty sure i’d never heard of the scopes trial before just now. It seems like a somewhat esoteric thing to teach about to me? idk why he would be expected to know about it.

just get yourself a UV flashlight, or bring some flowers to your nearest laser tag arena. this is just how stuff looks under blacklight sometimes (which isn’t to say it isn’t cool, just that you don’t need fancy tech to see it),

people that wax nostalgic for the 1950s are either:
A) folks who only see how advantageous it was for a white middle class cis straight man with a GI Bill, and just forget and ignore the rest of the reality of the era, or
B) folks that actively want to roll back civil rights for minorities, and would probably prefer the 1850s, if only they had pickup trucks back then.

i believe its shorthand for ‘communities’

i’m using thunder. it’s a fairly old version as well, but it works.
