Yes, this is the sort of arrogance I always expect from the AI evangelists. That and, as I said, the bankruptcy of creative thought.
You can't HAVE creativity of your own and think AI does a good job of it.

Work? What work? You're letting fake minds built by billionaires do your work for you.
And for a lot of us those things do NOT help. They make messes.
It's always people who are bankrupt of creativity who are incapable of understanding why gen-LLMs are bad.
Good pfp, though. Fitting.

Funny thought... arguably there HAS been a previous 'Yoyovania' ā Rygar for the NES.
Startropics was too linear to be one. š

There are also going to be those on the other side noticing this, and deciding there is no other course of action.
Hmm. That's war. Not good.

Oh, nice, this is a particularly good look, even by your invariably sharp-dressed standards.

I hate to tell you this, but only a minority of people were afraid of witches. Tiny minorities of the elite are the principal causes of unjust deaths.

In BC? I didn't know... That'll play oddly here, because we in fact have a king (ugh). Of course, AFAICT Canadian public sentiment seems to regard the monarchy as a swollen appendix that needs to be removed, so, yeah. No Kings, Not Even That One.

I'm prepared to lay money the one you responded to was a shitpost. Haus of Decline is a consummate shitposter.

Gods, this was probably just a weird-ass joke, but still... do we really have to hunt for ways to take unabashedly queer media about identity and stick the Pope to it?
Much rather go the other way, if we must. Even if this was supposed to have been a joke.

This is why if I feel the urge to reply to something concerning, first I check that user's timeline for context. A few seconds over there generally makes the difference between "sarcastic leftist" and "bigoted wingnut" starkly obvious.

Correct. I inferred it as the required inevitable logical result fo what you DID say.
Also I note that this response was a deflection, not a rebuttal. Even "I didn't say that." does NOT mean "That's not true."

Not sure "Actually I never gave a toss about any of you" is the flex you were hoping for here.

Everything he's done with actual legislation just fills me with despair and convinces me there was never any point engaging with the political system.

She is!
On an unrelated note... queen of what now? I didn't even know there'd been a vote! I shall challenge for the throne!

Just want to say that brief argument went in a wholesome direction I really needed to see today.

In the face of an upsetting situation, I still appreciate the thumbnail's implication that one of the controversial G7 summit invitees is you.

Hypothesis: evo-psych pundits are sociopathic. *Technically* so: they have abnormally low levels of empathy. But they are still curious, and so gravitate to all this nonsense in an attempt to explain all the empathy-having they see around them, not realizing THEY are the outliers.

Has there ever been a sweeping non-violent protest movement that succeeded *without* a simultaneous violent "by any means necessary" movement also existing at the same time?

It certainly functions as intended, but I wouldn't call that 'working'.

Well yeah. After all, who gave them the acid... and the idea?

@hedgehogsafety.bsky.social Apparently 'damascusgoat.bsky.socialā¬' claims in his bio to be a 'classic liberal', which tells you everything you need to know about his hard-right politics.

Oh, that's simple. They don't. The concept of what is or isn't *true* doesn't even enter into it. It's solely a matter of what can they claim that drums up disgust for the demographic they want to get rid of.
That's "surgery on minors for the sexual gratification of adults", so they say that.

@hedgehogsafety.bsky.social Apparently 'lazybraingames.bsky.socialā¬' is so wormy in the brain pan, what with MAGA and all, that he has mistaken actual human beings with actual science for medieval nonsense.

@hedgehogsafety.bsky.social I think 'tompatoncarstairs.bsky.socialā¬' imagines he is a liberal of some description, but he carries all sorts of water for the fash with how he speaks about trans people.

i oppose israel because i oppose the dehumanization of palestinians and the murder of innocents, not because i think the wrong people are being dehumanized and murdered

That sounds good. When do you think you'll have read that much?

@hedgehogsafety.bsky.social Submitted for your approval, the case of the Orwellian-named 'mrrightnotwrong.bsky.socialā¬', who seems immune to any concept of hypocrisy or internal contradiction when saying the above.
