Idk, I have a lot to say about that but I’m too tired to function right now. Let’s just say the digital world is not the only world we live in right now, and the spirit of academia lives on.

Stop right there! You are hereby detained by the Online Police for being presumed a homosexual. I’m-a need you to step away from the keyboard and do a little dance with me.

I can’t get over their Peter Griffin chins touching tips. 🥺

Oh, this is great! I like that he regularly uploads, too. I’ll have to dig through so many of his videos and that’s a good thing.

Thank you! I heard about Manufacturing Consent before but it completely escaped my radar.

- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 2 days ago:
Or, as it’s often the case, informed! Many people hate not just out of ignorance but also because everyone else is doing it but they don’t know why.
During the Lavender Scare, some homophobic government officials had to be explicitly informed what being gay meant because they were operating/ruining lives on a vague idea. :/

Oh, good. I was thinking about buying one but I guess I won’t anymore.
- Comment on Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating 2 days ago:
Sorry to hear you’re being targeted like that. Not cool. On the bright side, the points are made up and don’t matter here.
I’ve have read through the essay and I think that the article lends itself to confusion but help me out. Kyiv does want a military resolution but only to rule its dissenting territories, which is arguably a sovereign right when you have your insecure neighbor fueling dissidents, right? This is what was giving me trouble before, because Zelenskyy has been actively calling for peace plans for a few years now. You’re almost suggesting that he wants to continue fighting Russia on behalf of the UN. That’s one hell of a noble sacrifice that’s not quite in their best interest. If anything, the author suggests Zelenskyy has been played like a fiddle. Or am I missing something?

And which one would you say touches the heart of the matter of what you say? My time is limited.

That can absolutely be me, but you were wrong, so by circumstance doesn’t apply this time. The intent was there nonetheless.
And I’m still waiting on yours.

I meant something more substantial like a link that expands on this instead of some name drop.
- Comment on Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating 3 days ago:
Uh, no. I literally just read your reply right now. But you can be confidently wrong about all that.

I could believe that of any major country directly profiting from this. But what’s your reliable source for all that, especially Zelenskyy?

I know it’s fake because Trump would be serving nothing but fast food.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 4 days ago:
Held hands? No. Not everyone has the time, energy or training to evaluate a site’s trust comprehensively. I want to see what other people think in case they spot what I missed. I also want to see if people are even taking about the site and why.
I mean, can you imagine? There are so many sites out there I can’t spend three hours fact-checking one for the sake of replying to an argument. And then all that work going to waste for the benefit of nobody else.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 4 days ago:
Yeah, I’ve also looked into MBFC and found it was more grounded than what Lemmings were saying.
I always found it suspicious why people here would rather choose no fact checking than some. Is it the old “don’t let perfection ruin a good plan” again or other motives? Hmm.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 5 days ago:
Beliving nothing can be done
This one in particular has been so corrosive. I believe if people believed in their vote, something would change. But the electoral college does more harm than good by diluting the vote. Couple that with gerrymandering to completely erode people’s trust in the system.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 5 days ago:
Same. I’m so mad and disappointed in America, but I can’t let that override my compassion for its people. This whole thing is so frustrating to watch. Look at how the French do it, Americans! It’s time to break some shit.

I wouldn’t say so, but everyone reacts differently. At least the gummies I buy still leave me with a craving for smoking. It’s just not the same for me. Lol

Which are then obviously confirmed with a web search. Jesus, spare me the cynicism.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 6 days ago:
I mostly ask it things I don’t know, though. I’m not exporting my thinking to it.
I ask it difficult translations, how to code something I’m unfamiliar with, help with grammar, i use it as an OCR for other languages, to help me remember things I can’t directly search, etc. I have a hard time believing all use is detrimental, especially when you’re filling in the gaps of your knowledge and a best guess will do. It’s surely better than a web search for things you don’t even know how to write in a search box.

Well, here it’s Cake or Death! Choose carefully.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 6 days ago:
I have a fraction of a brain, I think, and use ChatGPT as a guide so that I have something to start with. Even if it’s slightly off, my two brain cells can pick it out and go from there. It’s not so bad.
And you know, I get it if you don’t like AI, but let’s be honest about it at the very least.

I don’t think Russians want to follow the US at every move. At least, they only seem to do it at their convenience.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 week ago:
I hope they’re so screwed over and see no real progress come next election because many are being affected, that’s for sure. They’ll reap the shittier half of what they sowed.
