- Comment on Is trying weed edibles worth it? 13 hours ago:
You should wait a bit, it’s true about the studies. To be honest, I wouldn’t say a few times hurts much but it’s relatively easy to build a dependency though. Easy to go from every weekend, to every few days to always.
That being said, I second what people say about smoking and I also recommend using a good quality bong to make it easier on your throat. The smoothest hits I’ve ever taken have been with a home made gravity bong made out of a glass vodka bottle. Avoid plastic though, yuck. Don’t over do it if you use a bong. No need for like mega hits, you won’t need a lot anyways although some people don’t get high their first times.

- Comment on Israel reserves bomb shelters for rich Jews 5 days ago:
Jewish Israelis are systematically blocking access to bomb shelters for minority groups. Essentially, if you’re not Jewish, you are not guaranteed access to protection from incoming missiles — also read: Apartheid
We saw the same depraved behaviour during the 12-day war of 2025. Israelis kicked out Palestinian citizens of Israel, Africans, Thai workers, and even poor Israeli settlers from less affluent neighbourhoods.
The Israeli government does not provide Palestinians living in the occupied territories with the same protection that they do for Israelis. This includes failing to build bomb shelters in Arab towns.
Over half of Palestinian citizens of Israel do not have access to shelters and are often denied entry.
To make matters worse, Israel designed the Iron Dome to purposefully exclude Palestinian towns coming under attack.
This is from the article. Can you remove the banner from your user page. It’s a bit gross to put a free Palestine image when 80% of your comments are in defense of Israel and it’s apartheid genocidal regime.

Once you hit 50% of market share, all owners get a thank you card and pizza party. It’s then nationalized.

- Comment on FADED. 🥴 1 week ago:
I feel like the evidence points to being left. After looking into it, it seems his family said as much and his texts indicated he did it because he was tired of the hate Kirk spread. Not really gopher mentality.
But even the texts and his relationship are on shaky grounds, the administration can’t really be trusted. It’s definitely muddy.
My guess is the gopher thing was run by the gov because having an other Luigi glorified would lead to open season on the Nazis.
Could be the other way around completely but something’s definitely fishy. There was just enough released to get both sides going at each other and then nothing. The trials going on and nothing’s coming out of that either.
I’m not a bot with an agenda, I’m just conspiracy oriented lol.

I was raised Christian and am still on the church’s equivalent of their rolls. I can also tell you I only have hate for the church. Your anecdote seems to imply no one can stop being Mormon?
Speculations don’t equal truth just because it fits the narrative you are pinning for.
- Comment on FADED. 🥴 1 week ago:
They’re whole subs dedicated to people that have left Mormonism. The views ones parents hold aren’t strictly inescapable.
What’s the church of latter day Saints view on dating transfolk? I’d attribute more importance to who he was dating then what his dad thought, no?

These are two different things. You don’t need to let valve sell loot boxes to stop new York from implementing mass surveillance.

It seems like we are at a stale mate since I’m saying their aren’t any sources and you’re saying you don’t have time to find them.
I don’t give much credence to what his family’s beliefs, he had moved out by then and it’s very possible his views had changed from theirs.
I don’t know about trump specifically, but I do know the right doesn’t like him, mostly because they think he was a leftist. It’s weird that both sides claim he belong to the other and neither has anything but conjecture about it.
- Comment on FADED. 🥴 1 week ago:
My whole point is that I can’t find sources. I can’t find any actually reasoning behind it. I already looked.
- Comment on FADED. 🥴 1 week ago:
I’m asking for a source, not what you heard. That’s the point.
- Comment on FADED. 🥴 1 week ago:
I saw a lot of articles saying that but I didn’t see any that had anything concrete. The whole thing seemed fishy at the time and even more so now with his trial essentially buried.
- Comment on FADED. 🥴 1 week ago:
This was pushed hard when it happened but I’ve never seen anything actually pointing to him being MAGA. He was raised in a right wing household but also dated someone trans and killed a right wing spokesman.
His social media got nuked right away so not much on that side. It was probably a mixed bag which is maybe more dangerous to have in the news in terms of inciting copycats. Easier if both sides blame it on the other, wouldn’t want anyone to see himself in him.
That being said, I don’t think his a allegiance matters as much as the fact that Charlie deserved it.

- Comment on Thousands of authors publish ‘empty’ book in protest over AI using their work 1 week ago:
Publishers usually get about 85 to 90% of the profits on printed books, and 75% of the profit on ebooks.
If using copyrighted data becomes illegal, they will get 100% of the profit from selling their data most likely.
This book should be aimed at them.

Do you hope Meta or the copyright industry wins this case? Maybe I misunderstood.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
None of that matter if, right now, you are cheering on copyright laws.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Encouraging laws you don’t like does nothing but cement them. We are currently, as a society, begging lawmakers for harder copyright laws.
I get the Justice system sucks but making the wrong laws stronger does not make it better.
Think about what you are saying is all, you tend to write long elaborate speeches on why copyright deserves to win. There is being critical AI, and then there’s being a mouthpiece. I’m not trying to be mean here, sorry.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
We don’t get better laws if everyone is cheering for the copyright industry. Everything after your first point goes against that. Goliath, the same one that beat up Aaron, finally has a match in his own weight category, and you are hoping he wins.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
It’s weird that your take away is “Meta needs to get it” and not “Clearly, these laws work for no one”. You don’t get better copyright laws by cheering for the copyright companies.

They didn’t say seeding isn’t fair use, just inherently part of torrenting. Good thing Sarah Silverman has pc gamer there to pander for her.

- Comment on Uploading Pirated Books via BitTorrent Qualifies as Fair Use, Meta Argues 1 week ago:
I’m not pro-copyright. I actually steal content, as in pirate it and then watch it. I don’t consider it stealing to train AI on it.
“Our” data implies we collectively own it, yet we don’t, copyright companies for the most part do.
- Comment on Uploading Pirated Books via BitTorrent Qualifies as Fair Use, Meta Argues 1 week ago:
To be fair, I did say inherently part of. It would have been rude of them not to seed.

Found this gem:
“I will get migraines imagining this thesis in libraries is credited to a boyfriend who likely doesn’t even know what SPSS is,” Prof Kutaywa wrote
- Comment on Uploading Pirated Books via BitTorrent Qualifies as Fair Use, Meta Argues 2 weeks ago:
They are saying that seeding is inherently part of torrenting, not that it’s fair use. I mean, at least they weren’t a leech.
My stance is fuck the copyright companies and fuck Meta for everything they do except in this case, because seedings a good thing and so is Anna’s archive.
Kind of weird to have seen Lemmy turn anti tech and anti piracy in such a short time. I get the whole “we can’t do it so why can they” but the only thing politicians and the news will repeat is the “why can they”, they will miss the nuance. In other words, this whole vibe is only helping the copyright industry.
- Comment on AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles 2 weeks ago:
That’s why I specify that everything should be verified in a later comment. My point is that LLMs when properly guided are better than other automatic translation service, while hallucination can easily be avoided with proper prompting.
Also worth mentioning that there’s massive difference in user generated translations already, some of it is well meaning while other, like in Israel’s case, isn’t.
I translate a lot of stuff for my work, and I don’t have any problems when I instruct it properly. I’m also there to verify. I don’t have to deal with hallucinations ever, mostly just changing a word or two because I don’t like how it sounds (it uses overly complex words at times).
This is more about certain users being shit and either not checking their work or doing work they have no place doing. They would exist no matter what they use, it’s not the tools fault.
Tbh, I work in research and we would never use Wikipedia for anything. We can’t quote it and anytime I find a good tidbit on it and try and find the source, I usually get dead link or just something altogether false which doesn’t represent what the user wrote. Probably highly dependent on the subject though but the sourcing isn’t very rigorous.
Bless them though, it’s an amazing site and they are still doing an stellar job considering how big it is.

- Comment on AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles 2 weeks ago:
Whatever is used, I think nothing is going to be 100% and everything should be verified by a native speaker. It is Wikipedia afterall, not some blog.
Non-LLM services are worse in my opinion but it probably depends on the language (LLMs probably struggle with certain languages as well).
