- Comment on Meta faces £1.8bn lawsuit over claims it inflamed violence in Ethiopia 1 day ago:
I was a free speech absolutist until I went to Ruqqus, another Reddit alternative. I learned pretty quickly that people don’t care about truth, and will just spread hate unchecked.
So yup.

My Asian girlfriend is older than me, but my coworker still joked that I was a pedophile when I showed a photo of her

- Comment on European police say KidFlix, "one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world," busted in joint operation. 6 days ago:
On average, around 3.5 new videos were uploaded to the platform every hour, many of which were previously unknown to law enforcement.
Absolutely sick and vile. I hope they honey potted the site and that the arrests keep coming.

Thought this was parity until I saw it was 1yr old

I used to talk shit people to their face and compliment them behind their back. Thought it was cool. Anyways, didn’t work at the workplace.

She’s “tired of hearing about it” and all the “pandering the left does”
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Compared to outside of the US, this is true, but within the US he was pretty leftist. He publicly supported UBI, pushed for renewables, donated to the Obama and Hillary campaign, etc. Now he’s anri-trans, pro-Trump x1000, but there used to be a time he cared.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
The left has undeniably alienated some of their group (my mum was alienated by trans rights, I was alienated by the DNC, Elon was allegedly alienated by Biden’s EV push ignoring Tesla), but I think the bigger problem is the left doesn’t fight for things people care about.
The right are the only ones in the news cycle (look at how many articles we have about Trump, even when he wasn’t president) which, to anyone who doesn’t treat politics like sports teams, makes you obviously see a thing or true that you support Republicans on. This imo is the critical flaw of the left; I now have no reason to be excited about their platform, and I’m completely numb to anything they say negatively about Trump.
- Comment on Should tech companies be required to report AI’s environmental impact, or is voluntary transparency enough? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a loaded question, if the transparency reports are enough they’ll likely cover whatever the law requires.
The real question is basically should companies report environmental impact; I’m on the fence for this. It sounds good on paper, but will it cause investment overseas and is it the most useful place to burden companies?
- Comment on Why A Record 8.9 Million Americans Are Working Multiple Jobs 2 weeks ago:
When you’re applying to jobs, you should be a little more diligent about picking up the phone and checking your email. It’s unusual for the response to go to the spam folder, but I guess now you know? Go apply some more, and watch your spam folder this time.
- Comment on Divided and conquered 2 weeks ago:
I really don’t understand this comment (maybe I need to go to sleep), but I don’t see OP referring to any culture war, and I can’t say Republican’s are the only ones inciting culture wars (they might be inciting the ones I disagree with, but it is a culture war to push for equal rights)
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
Can’t mass protest if you don’t have a way to get people in one location. United States car infra prevents that.
Source: seen mass protests, seen “US protests”. Night and day difference
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 2 weeks ago:
Honestly we knew that, even if Trump wasn’t involved, the people around him were. Y’all are too gullible. Even today I see posts on Lemmy about “Elon did this, Trump did that”, pure noise draining out the real news that happens once or twice a week.
- Comment on Facial Recognition Company Clearview Attempted to Buy Social Security Numbers and Mugshots for its Database 2 weeks ago:
Idiots. They should have obtained it by offering to do KYC as a service for bank apps instead.
- Comment on Redditors told me to go to the therapist but I can’t afford one nor pick one from thousands available. What now? 2 weeks ago:
Online therapy is good. One of the major downsides is it doesn’t get you going outside though, which is a major benefit of therapy at a clinic.
Other than that, make more friends and chat it out with them (join a run club in your city, for example) or use an AI therapist. There’s a lot of people who will shreik and yell at these options, but if you have no other options, they’re great

- Comment on 🐸 time 4 weeks ago:
The craziest thing is this (real) article doesn’t address things like wet bulbs which can be fatal, and no amount of heat tolerance will change that.
So not is it proof The Washington Post is class traitor garbage, but also that their journalism isn’t even good

- Comment on Apple takes UK to court over 'backdoor' order 4 weeks ago:
- There’s no way to tell if Apple transfers your data there
- Apple does not clarify how they decide when to transfer your data there
- You are putting a lot of faith into a system that shows no transparency
- Comment on Apple takes UK to court over 'backdoor' order 4 weeks ago:
It’s already gone because it’s not disclosed when or why it is moved to servers where the Chinese govt can decrypt it, but I guess it depends on who you’re worried about having your data
