  • This isn't a choice that really has any bearing on that, unfortunately.

  • I knew that Britain was in WW2, but I didn't discover that Canada was a part of the British empire until well after I graduated highschool.

    Anyway, there were plenty of British people in WWII movies, but I don't think I've ever seen one that's got Canadians in it.

  • A lot of languages sure, but not the language the comic is written in.

    I didn't realize it was one character though. I thought it was just double < and > I guess that does make it seem less likely to be an intentional dog whistle.

  • I didn't even realize Canada fought in WWII. Fuck, the US's education system is such garbage.

  • Saying something malicious while making it look normal is kinda the whole point of dog whistles. How are we to tell if <

    <this>

    > is benign, or just (((this))) with an extra layer of obfuscation?

  • This is a little besides the point, but even those use-cases LLMs have the fatal flaw of being obscenely resource intensive. They require huge amounts of electricity and cooling to continue operating. Not to mention most of them are trained on stolen data.

    Even when they're an effective tool for a given task, they're still not an ethical one.

  • Craig's Raging Penis Gun

  • Yeah. I spent an ungodly amount of time on halo 3 and ODST on the 360 back in the day. Then I eventually got a PC and in just a couple years trying to play a shooter with a controller gave the game feel equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

  • Generally the bottom is the one being penetrated and the top is the one doing the penetrating. Sometimes people use bottom to mean submissive and top to mean dominant though.

  • There isn't a whole lot of press coverage of the resistance unless a white person dies. It is happening though.

    A lot of the people who aren't resisting are spending all of their energy just to keep food on their table and a roof over their head, scared shitless of a regime that delights in random violence. Make your own judgement on how good those reasons are, but that isn't the same thing as being ok with what's happening.

  • Sweetheart, just because I haven't committed suicide-by-cop doesn'tean I'm not resisting. You sound like incredibly fertile soil for the fascists to plant their seed in when they inevitably try to take your country over. You should learn some empathy before that happens.

  • I know they have a pretty brutal work culture, which suggests a dismal political landscape, but that's about it. That seems like a pretty typical knowledge level for westerners, so you're probably right.

  • Long enough to die of something other than a nutritional deficiency.

  • I mean, that's already happening. To me it doesn't really look like it's working, but maybe I'm wrong.

  • This isn't about what they deserve though, it's about propagandizing at them.

  • I mean, do you really want to see this kinda stuff all over the world?

  • Yeah, the only good thing AI has ever done is push me off of Instagram.

  • Sure, but such a start up could pick and choose the good ones, making small alterations when called for.
