The regime has been putting women into men's prisons and is now forcibly detransitioning them. They're doing conversion therapy experiments on prisoners at this very moment. Women are going to die.
If you give them an inch, they take a mile.

Unless the government generates a new token every time you log on to the internet, eventually data collection will de-anonymize the token. Any unique information will always become identifiable with enough data collection.

Don’t want to do even that? Then stop getting fast food.

That's exactly right. Being against tipping as a concept is fine, but the idea that we can end tipping culture by refusing to tip is fundamentally accelerationist. "Surely if we torture the workers enough they'll be forced to demand higher wages!"

Either we refuse to even be customers for places that underpay their workers, or we tip generously to try to make up for it.

Today, as the Cartel attacks Mexico, it's worth remembering that a DEA agent and a CIA agent were arrested in December for a $12 million money laundering and arms dealing operation for the cartel.

I should finish reading The Fort Bragg Cartel

Seems relevant.

I don't think the politics of the porn can actually address the root problem, which is that we're seen as inherently pornographic. It's probably less bad for the porn to have good politics, but I don't know if that's actually the best solution to the problem. We need a lot more non-pornographic representation, but we probably also need less pornographic representation along with it.

The politics of the porn might even be irrelevant to the problem, because the problem is that our existence is X-rated. Whether the porn has good or bad politics won't actually change whether or not they believe we need to be kept away from children.

The right-wing wants to ban us from public life because they believe a woman having a penis is inherently pornographic, because that's literally their only exposure to us. It's not just about the euphemism treadmill, the way porn portrays us is actively making our lives worse. We're overly sexualized to the point that they believe they need to protect their children from us. It is dehumanizing.

Porn doesn't have to be this way, but to fix it there would need to be a total transformation of the entire industry and media landscape. It's a serious problem and no one wants to confront it, because they like their porn and don't want to give anything up.

I think Lemmy in general is very against AI. I'm rather new here, is it like a fediverse group thing or is this even based on reality?

Jump

queermunist she/her @lemmy.ml 2d ago

I'm against the LLM bubble. They're gobbling up all of our compute, electricity, water, and basically all investment capital while not even generating productivity gains or improving anyone's lives. Internet search is now dead, all my fan communities are just full of slop instead of art from artists, and the piggies that own the data centers are destroying all culture to feed their autocomplete machines. LLMs have accelerated the decay of civilization in a way that we might struggle to recover from when the bubble pops. Half the time it's not even AI, the real work is just outsourced to some superexploited workers in the Global South.

There are some legitimate use-cases for LLM technology, but the way they're trying to cram it into everything is actually just wrecking everything. It seems like they're destroying the world for a worse calculator that can pretend to be your girlfriend.

They have a fundamentally comprador character too, because the CIA/state department/special operations cohort uses them for plausible deniability and to launder money. You could say the function of the so-called "war on drugs" and this new focus on "narco-terrorism" only exist to create cartels and mafiosos, who can then be used to further imperial ambitions.

I suspect between the tomatoes and the vinegar and the citrus it's more acidic, which hits some tummies different.

Although the only pepper to ever really hurt my tummy was bhut jolokia. It's just so sweet and delicious!

You just aren't eating enough chilies and beans. Once you eat as many as I do your body just gets used to it.

If my date isn't used to eating a diet that consists mostly of chilies and beans it probably isn't going to work out. 😔

I have made more tortillas!

Letting them sit a little longer to hydrate seems to have helped a lot, as did letting my pan heat up more. Unfortunately my pan now has a bunch of burned dough crusted onto it and is going to have to soak for a while before I scrub it. Might have gotten it too hot?
