  • My only problem with growing the platform is we have no scalable model for preventing bots. And any platform with an audience because an advertising bot platform the second it gets noticed.

  • "Ugly" as an insult does more damage when it's aimed at a person who was taught their only value in the whole world was how cute they look, regardless of gender. It just happens that the majority of people who were taught that from birth were women.

    Nobody does beauty and the beast with an ugly chick and a cute guy without explicitly trying to undermine the ideal of beauty as intrinsically the sole function of a woman. Men get to be primarily funny, sweet, handy, clever, etc, with handsome as a potential secondary add-on; women generally need to be beautiful, with any other characteristics being the secondary add-on.

    And we're not taking about things you can choose, like hygiene and smoking status. Just looks. A woman who's kind but ugly always turns into a beautiful swan at the end of the male fantasy story.

    If you call someone an inbred thickhead it hits about the same. If you call someone a slimey booger it hits about the same. If you call someone a useless empty ghoul it hits about the same. But you gotta know visual insults like ugly have broader social context.

    And to be clear. A HUGE amount of this problem is intensified and maintained by the billion dollar beauty industry, which LOVES insecurity. It's working hard to monetize men too! But it's still a work in progress there.

  • Are you serious?

  • Nobody said who was getting warmed up here

  • Where else do you expect them to store their emergency absinthe stash?

  • Ooooh if she has twins

  • Oh rare steak. Nice.

  • How the holy molarity did Clinton rank that high

  • When we had a guy stab another guy and hold his girlfriend hostage with a knife they deployed snipers to the rooftops of surrounding buildings and told us all to stay inside.

  • Thank you for this. Like, I heard a bit about this but set it aside as "to be researched later" without realizing how far along the stupidity had gotten.

  • I am torn. Magnetic senses! Yay!

    Sticking to the fridge! Booo....

  • I am SO HAPPY to see big tits on my timeline instead of anime children showing their whole ass. Like. Reddit is not ok. I will happily accept having to see mommy milkers instead of lipless, eyebrow-deficient bobbleheaded children in lingerie.

  • Are we taking about the dude who surgically implanted magnets under his skin so he could feel magnetic fields? Because that's who immediately comes to mind

  • I really really really like MS Paint. I'm trying to like gimp, but I liked MS Paint a lot.

    I also miss the smoothness of excel. I love libre office too but Microsoft just has more money to sand off the rough bits.

  • "western governments" 😂 oh honey. Oligarchs live to acquire power in every government. You think China isn't run by wealthy friends of the powerful, who get sweet $$$ contracts and live really nice lives? You think any country is free from the absolute corruption of money?

  • Fuck AI @lemmy.world

    Harlan Ellison was not actually a great writer.

  • memes @lemmy.world

    Thou shalt not alter thy body? I don't remember that one

  • Movies @lemmy.world

    "The Accountant" has flaws, but it's still a likeable movie for me.
