Unless Kathy Hochul somehow contributes to the final end of the American democracy, not removing this cretin from office will be the worst thing she has ever done. Gonna be a rough couple of years for New York incumbents.

Let’s be frank about it, the second he dropped the (D) after his name, he officially became a lame duck. Even if people were willing to overlook the corruption and the corruption to get out of the trial for his corruption, no non-Democrat is going to get elected Mayor of NYC in the near future.

Because overall people don’t like it, particularly when it comes to creating “art.”

What is the actual justification for this? Everyone has to pay for this except for AI companies, so AI can continue to develop into a universally regarded negative?

I really hate it when corporate Twitter accounts try to be quirky. Wendy’s trolling McDonald’s was funny for a bit but even that got old and I blame it for making this sort of thing common.

We don’t call it genocide because words mean things and that does not constitute genocide, whereas China’s attempts to wipe out the Uighurs do.

They’re not being subjected to a genocide.

You don’t suppose there might be reason people don’t trust the news coming from a country with no freedom of speech or press?

Tell it to the Uyghurs.

I’d say it’s also a problem that the sort of people who use the Internet to find people to beat up are idiots, so even if they aren’t going out of their way to victimize minorities, odds are they’ll just beat up some random person.

My general dislike for modern conservatism to the side, it does reflect a wider issue with lemmy. There is no diversity of opinion on anything. There are no niche communities. Either you like the political and tech subs and the meme subs which are, at a mininum, 60% political, or there really is nothing for you here.
The manga and anime subs can be good for keeping up with new releases, but not there’s next to no actual discussion.
