Needs more JPEG.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 1 day ago:
I know what they meant. I was illustrating that the bar can be set much lower.
Who dictates what’s stupid? Where does the sanity end and crazy name start? We can’t be the arbiters of good taste.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 2 days ago:
Let me give you an example of why you can’t do this:
I think that “Connor” and “Brody” and “Mikaela” and “Chase” are stupid names.
- Comment on Another round of anti-Trump protests hits US cities 4 days ago:
Whenever I say this, I get about 30% down votes. People don’t want their protestations to be inconvenient.
Mobilization is easy. We need to organize and hit them in the pocketbook. Nothing less will resonate.
- Comment on Climate change will make rice toxic, say researchers 6 days ago:
You mean for them using the search function for you?
- Comment on Trump excludes smartphones, computers, chips from tariffs 1 week ago:
What do you mean? We protest on our days off to let the establishment know we’re mad as heck and we’re not going to take this any more, as long as it inconveniences us.
We need to fucking organize.

- Comment on Papua New Guinea shuts down Facebook in test to stop 'pornography, misinformation, hate speech' 4 weeks ago:
Is my sentence so vague that it appears I’m saying that.
- Comment on Papua New Guinea shuts down Facebook in test to stop 'pornography, misinformation, hate speech' 4 weeks ago:
Agreed. One layer of the onion peeled. Next layer is that all of the content you see is curated and you only are fed fits your profile as dictated by the algorithm. You are served more dopamine hits and churn a lot of nothing.
There’s another layer of the onion next. Let’s hear what it is.
- Comment on Papua New Guinea shuts down Facebook in test to stop 'pornography, misinformation, hate speech' 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I understand. Meta is invasive, pervasive, and becomes endemic. I’m in Mexico looking for a place to live. The country runs on WhatsApp.
- Comment on Papua New Guinea shuts down Facebook in test to stop 'pornography, misinformation, hate speech' 4 weeks ago:
Maybe, but it’s an onion of a problem.
We all know how much FB spreads disinfo and brain rot. The positive effect of disabling it feels as significant as the negative effect on freedom of speech.
The dichotomy is very much analogous to how I feel about tiktok bans.

People are down voting you, but I’m hyper left and also believe this. A big one for me is overly sensitive consideration for things that aren’t truly problematic, such as the use of “LatinX.”
A massive majority of us Latinos do not give a shit about this or think its idiotic. A white person definitely decided that the linguistic gendering inherent to Spanish was sexist.

Woof. Ibsaid something similar before seeing your comment.

I’m not.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
When did I fucking support Leon in my statement?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Maybe. Or perhaps they’re just not hiding the shit others keep under the wraps of decorum.

That’s bat-crazy to me.
- Comment on It begins: Pentagon to give AI agents a role in decision making, ops planning. 1 month ago:
Why do stock images always have the left hand shaking and not the right?
- Comment on Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases 1 month ago:
On librewolf, i get blocked. its a firefox fork and still it happens. had to set up a Firefox User Agent plugin.
- Comment on I hate how my lefty friends make everything political 1 month ago:
That’s unfortunate. Rarely do companies walk back after this sort of corporatization. It’s lost.
- Comment on I hate how my lefty friends make everything political 1 month ago:
Sure do wish PizzaCake would leave Reddit for Lemmy. That would fuck her income up though, I’m sure.
- Comment on Are the explain the joke subreddits just AI training grounds? 1 month ago:
I never considered that, however, I feel like all of reddit is AI fodder.
- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 1 month ago:
It was funnier before coffee. I was insinuating that your written language belied your age, thus making you a boomer. Chalk it up to morning fogginess.
