  • I just can't understand why it got to the point of her sending screenshots. Is this the guy not giving a refund or does this person think that he's lying and she wants the map he's "hiding".

    I'd assume it's the idiot sending ChatGPT screenshots.

  • Most ADHD symptoms are "oh yeah that's me (sometimes) haha"

    Where ADHD is usually "this is literally ruining my career and my relationships. Better go hyperfocus on a new hobby I'll never complete a project in. That will help me avoid thinking about doing the simple thing I'm completely incapable of doing that would take 5 minutes if my brain would just let me do it."

  • It's most peoples understanding that being a member of any organization that has "socialist" in the name can make you a target for fascist. But I think it's also most peoples perspective that EVERYONE is a target for fascist eventually. There is no defense in just sitting by and hoping that you're the last to be targeted.

    As a straight white male it's definitely a privileged position to not have to be as concerned yet.

    The SRA itself is not at all political though and members are discouraged from doing any organizing that could be connected directly to the organization. It's basically meant to be a safe space for people to learn responsible gun ownership. Something that is usually dominated by the "maga hats".

  • Join the SRA! (Socialist Rifle Association). We are the wrong people! We either arm the vanguard (not actually a goal) or we get more common sense gun laws implemented. It's a win win.

    In more serious terms, think of it as an organization where you can learn responsible gun ownership without being surrounded by maga hats. You don't need to consider yourself a socialist to join. Though there is a basic vetting process to keep the maga hats out.

  • It's why it's so so so popular with conservatives (and fascist now). There is something about having skill in art that makes you a lot less likely to be conservative. It's about the material circumstances that lead people to become artists, I'd guess.

    So now all these Nazis can make Trump memes by typing something stupid into a prompt. It's ugly. It's not intelligent or creative but it's just enough to spread their hateful propaganda. AI art is awful. But it's 100x better than what these fascist could ever hope to create.

    Seriously. I feel like the only real use case for AI art right now is making awful fascist propaganda. At least it's the only area of "art" that is actually seeing "improvement" from it.

    Which tells you a lot about how these fascist idiots complain about "culture" so much but have actually no culture or art of their own.

    If you need a gross example just search for the AI Trump Gaza video. The purpose isn't art. But it's still serving the role that art plays in propaganda.

  • Depends on what you mean by "change things they did".

    If that was the case they wouldn't be those people anymore.

    Capitalism isnt failing because of some moral failure of the wealthy. It's failing because of its contradictions.

    The guillotine is simply a symbol of revolution. Revolution does not require violence if the ruling class gives up it's power. But, historically, they never have. And the Capitalist class will not either. So violence is necessary in response to the state structures of violence.

    So, I guess my point is that I'm not saying I want to kill capitalist. But, historically, the ruling class does not want to give up their class position and so violence is required to destroy the structures that uphold their class position.

  • That's not true. DeepSeek showed that smart people are working on it that are not entirely motivated by just making a cheaper way to advertise. I think the wests a implementation of AI is so horribly corrupted by capitalist incentives. I think we'll continue to see advancements out of China and Asia. It's definitely not "just throw more data at it".

  • Yes. But what is this sub primarily filled with?

  • There was a small push to promote "ergonomic" office setups and standing desks pre covid. But most of that died with working from home.

    Also, it was just a way companies could use to avoid the fact that no amount of sitting posture or standing will counter the actual problems of just not moving for over 5 hours or more a day.

  • AI is about increasing profits. Consumer choice is not a thing when 99% of companies follow the same profit driven incentives. Reactions like this, while good, are not going to change anything. You cant make change through consumption. You must make change through labor and labor organization.

    This sub is just filled with "consumption" based solutions to the point that I feel it is almost negative in trying to fight the actual problems with AI and art.

    I want to see more pro union and pro labor posts here. This "change through consumption" crap is really getting old.

  • In a loving, longterm relationship, still feel terrible about my body and I'm in horrible shape (despite exercising still). If it helps in anyway, be proud of maintaining physical health. Attraction is subjective but your health isn't. Always worth it exercise even if you're just getting your heart rate up with some cardio. At least that what I tell my fat ass.

  • Technically my number is not 0. And the police really only protect the small percentage of people in this world that deserve the guillotine. So, in a way they're right about that one. Just not in the way they think they are.

  • I'd literally rather my kid start smoking then have some adult watch them take a shit.

    Hell, kid might start smoking to deal with poop anxiety it creates. Nicotine literally helps with constipation. Lol

  • That's not the point. If someone is gonna fuck or shoot up in the bathroom they're going to. The little perv gap we have isn't gonna change that.

    Puritan ideas themselves aren't really about helping people to be more "pure". They're about subjugation, control, and maintaining a patriarchal structure.

  • Marx wrote a lot about this as a criticism of capitalism. Specifically in how he defines alienation and product fetishism (seeing the economy as a relationship between products and not between people).

    The "capitalism is human nature" is complete horse shit, because even if that was true, less than one percent of the population have enough capital to actually be able to make decisions in a way that would even apply.

    There is no "human nature" in working a wage labor job. The rest of us are just doing completely alienated forms of labor with only freedom to choose which shit company to work for for a shit wage.

    I think my ADHD has really made me extremely anti capitalist since I graduated from college 10 years ago. Ive lasted long enough in a well paying position to have some savings. But im getting older. I can't hyperfocus a months worth of work in a day like I use to. And I really just don't have the motivation to either. I know my career is gonna fall apart at some point in the next decade. Just hoping I can find something else to support myself. I just can't work on a computer anymore. My body literally can't take it. I can't think anymore. Brain keeps telling me to get up and go for a walk or something. And it's not even all physical. I can sit and work on one of my personal projects still. I just give absolutely zero fuck about writing some code for a company that is literally just making the world worse every day. (Microsoft if anyone's curious).

  • I think it's mond boggling to you because you are missing my point. Somehow you read the comment as "don't post facts" (which I never said) and then decided to literally not understand anything else of what I said.

    I swear some people read one sentence and then decide they disagree with someone on the internet and start typing without even understanding what they are responding to.

    Maybe re-read my comment and the follow-up to it. Especially the video I linked. Maybe how you're interpreting my comment is wrong.

  • Absolutely. I took some advice after watching this video on the topic awhile ago and if anything it's at least improved my mental health.

    I don't agree with all the points he makes. But it's definitely helped simplify my approach when dealing with these people spreading white supremacists talking points online.

  • While this is good info for reasonable people. I'd suggest in the future YOU ask for evidence of idiots claims like this and just call it out as a lie like it is.

    These fascist talking points about white genocide should never be taken seriously. You don't need to provide counter evidence to someone literally shitting out of their mouth.

    When arguing with white supremacists keep it simple. They don't care about facts. They'll never ever ever turn back and agree with anything you say. They'll just pivot and use any point of evidence you provide to create a new lie.

    What this looks like to the average idiot listening to that back and forth is "oh, I guess there is some debate on this" and that is exactly what white supremacists are trying to do with these lies. To add doubt to reality.

    There is no debate. No need to debate straight up lies. Call them lies and keep them incredibly focused on having to provide proof. They'll never be able to.

  • The sad thing is that this is a common take on Twitter. That website is just filled with Nazis. I can see how some dumb fuck without a brain who spends enough time on there could actually believe it.

    Repeating a lie enough, etc.
