The worst kind of person isn’t someone who will defend free speech, it’s someone who does so at first, and then stops defending it when they’re in power.

I think hate speech should have repercussions, but there are lots of thoughts that are hard to explain. A big problem is the upsurge in these types of comics. I think they are not only unhelpful, but detrimental to the cause at hand when pro-Palestine protesters are being labeled “Nazis” and then detained. The problem right now clearly is the state, not the people living under the state, and someone saying a few offensive things, while evil, isn’t as bad as the government being turned into a police state before our eyes, who will gladly shut us up for protesting against them. Stop worrying about the Nazis in universities and start worrying about Nazis about to run the U.S. military.

I haven’t found a Raymond in Cascadia

AI is not a development in technology. It’s like Flexplay, asbestos filters for cigarettes, and leaded gasoline.

• Clip art from the 90’s was made with passion
• It didn’t threaten the environment as much
• There wasn’t any attempt to outdo real artists
• You don’t have it as a business model
• There isn’t an uproar about it
• Nothing was stolen to make the clip art

This is very confusing. AI also isn’t technological progress, just like how leaded gasoline and Flexplay wasn’t technological progress.

This “art” costs far more environmentally than any other. It uses mass amounts of electricity and water. It’s nothing like, say, eating steak instead of salad, or driving a pickup truck to work. The “miracle” of AI has to come from somewhere, after all.

Disabled people can make great art. They can also hire someone else to help them; people who work succeed more together than apart.

I also think that having someone make a nice image is not worth the sheer amount of electrical energy and water cooling needed to power the datacenters.

Well, you ain’t been doin’ nothin’ if you ain’t been called a Red~♪

I like this “xcancel” site >:)

Always a good thing when you don’t have to give to Elon

I should’ve been on here instead. I legitimately thought that Anarchists, Communists, &c could make a difference being on there. Now I get people deliberately blocking accounts that aren’t even fascist, and being concerned with “bullying” instead of actually solving real problems. BSky has upper-class liberals talking about D&D, whining about how laws aren’t being followed correctly, cheerleading American imperialism, making unfunny jokes, and claiming that radical politics came from 4chan rather than legitimate political grieviances. All sorts of suburban slime. I really should’ve been elsewhere.

Trick her into giving you all her money. This seems like prime scam real estate. Get some olive oil, jack up the price, and tell her you’re selling “essential oils”. Or scare her by making her believe you’re God incarnate. Or kill her and take her wallet lmao

I thought that the Grandma Blobfish quest from Half-Genie Hero would age badly, but I didn’t know how badly

Thanks so much!

Shit, I wasn’t on here. Tell you what, make another Devil’s Panties Blackout in six months. We encourage people to stock up on canned foods that can be eaten later, and bathroom items, soaps, whatever. Friend groups are established for the blackout just in case somebody loses something. It might last more than a week, maybe even a month. We should post this in streamers’ chats to encourage people to spread the word; this will be on fun streams where it will not be intrusive. Make sure to target people who can remember to do things, or use it as an opportunity to help people to remember schedules. People will stay with each other to get along.

Look, I hate NATO and the European Union, but Russia is not “defending against NATO”. Capitalism IN RUSSIA caused this. It was the fall of the USSR that made Russia ultra-capitalist, and then ultra-imperialist. Russia is not a bastion of Socialism. It has a mercenary army, an entire military-industrial complex, and a barbaric mistreatment of actual workers. A lot of western politicians believe that Russia is communist, but that’s just because they’re idiots.
