- Comment on ChatGPT dissidents, the students who refuse to use AI: ‘I couldn’t remember the last time I had written something by myself’ 13 hours ago:
The fact that you are unable to discern two completely distinct phenomenons suggests you may be letting the AI think for you a bit too much.

None of your examples are examples of what it is good for, since they can all be done by other means.

So it was gen z who did it then.

OP is regurgitating oligarch deflection. Oligarchs did this, age is completely irrelevant in this connection, and there will continue to be oligarchs in every single generation, unless something is done about it.
- Comment on If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem 3 days ago:
They already use gender, sexuality, nationality, anything really. Race is just one of many strings on the harp of bigotry.

Why can’t the people we vote for represent us?
That is easy (for the US at least). Politicians in the US doesn’t get elected by a majority.

Death penalty, but more likely death in combat while trying to oust them from society. Like was done in WWII. These fuckers aren’t going anywhere voluntarily, it will take violence to remove them from society.

- Comment on The next time you hear someone say they're just vibing in life without a job, just look at this image. 1 week ago:
That is silly logic.
Also the past 50 years has not been all improvement, the global warming crisis has steadily grown worse to name the most obvious. The economic crisis following the results of that global warming is also just going to get worse. This will lead to more political crises as politics will get steadily radicalised and authoritarian.
- Comment on The next time you hear someone say they're just vibing in life without a job, just look at this image. 1 week ago:
Those examples you mention are pretty insignificant compared to the global warming crisis we are experiencing now. Reading history won’t really help, because we have never faced what we have faced now in human history: manmade global warming in an industrialised, highly specialised society.

They were right. He has no rights during the Trump administration.
- Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place. 1 week ago:
That is not OP’s point. Their point is the opposite, namely that a lot of people automatically distrust people (women) based on their gender. Lots of women have provided credible evidence under oath:
- Comment on How Coldplay actually sounds 1 week ago:
I don’t like Coldplay at all, and never have. But I also know music taste is entirely subjective, so it is a pretty pointless thing to fight about.
- Comment on They're completely serious 1 week ago:
Unfortunately if you have a tendency to buy into one fact-denying conspiracy, then you have a tendency to buy into all of them. That is why these kinds of conspiracy theories are always a pipeline into fascism.

Ricotta/tomato is not a necessity for a lasagne (in fact for a real lasagna bolognese you would need bechamel and meat ragu, but that is besides the point). Have you never had salmon lasagne with spinach?
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 2 weeks ago:
Indeed. With our current system it was only a matter of time. As soon as the internet became a default thing which everyone needed to access just to function in their daily lives, it would of course be subjected to the exact same exploitative mechanisms that the non-internet part of our lives have suffered from since the dawn of history.
- Comment on Medieval medicine was smarter than you think—and weirdly similar to TikTok trends 2 weeks ago:
They were developing health practices based on the best knowledge they had at the time
The key part of the phrase. They didn’t have a lot of knowledge, and couldn’t have until fundamental medical principles were discovered in the 20th century. The fact that they used things similar to modern day pseudoscientific “alternative” medicine, like detox, with little effect is not really surprising, that is where this kind of thing will always lead you.
The surprising thing is a historian of medicine treating it as some kind of mindblowing revelation.

Sure, up until humans begin to run out of food in the near future.
- Comment on Ancient food are absurdly complicated. 3 weeks ago:
As expensive as any other good weighing the same. Salt wasn’t expensive, that is my point.
- Comment on Ancient food are absurdly complicated. 3 weeks ago:
You have fallen for the myth that salt was rare and expensive in ancient times. Medieval people did know how to make salt out of seawater. There were salt works all over the coasts of Britanny and Normandy during medieval times. Salt was not rare or expensive, except that they did need a lot of it because it was one of their prime preservation ingredients, so they needed barrels and barrels of the stuff, and that could drive prices up. But it was not because they didn’t know how to produce salt in enormous quantities.
Same goes for Roman times. The myth that salt was so rare and precious that it constituted part of the pay for a Roman soldier is wrong. It was because salt was such an important part of the diet and for preservation that it was given this way. They got grain and oil as well.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 3 weeks ago:
Again, pretty irrelevant, considering oligarchs constitute a fraction of a fraction of a generation (and their wealth and oligarch status will be inherited by their gen a or z offspring anyway).
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 3 weeks ago:
You can claim that all oligarchs are boomers (and that would not be close to true, a lot of the techbro oligarchs are a lot younger), but not all boomers are oligarchs. OP is inferring all boomers are oligarchs, so it is the textbook definition of intergenerational strife deflection.
- Comment on YouTube prepares crackdown on 'mass-produced' and 'repetitive' videos, as concern over AI slop grows 3 weeks ago:
And how are they expecting to crack down on this? By deploying automated slop which largely comes up with false positives and can easily be expoited for nefarious purposes, to the annoyance of their regular users?
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 3 weeks ago:
Why that needs to be connected to the internet is an entirely different matter though.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 3 weeks ago:
This inter-generational strife nonsense is the greatest deflection the oligarchs have come up with to make people forget who their real enemies are.
