But how will the wealth addled convince us pleblians to spend money on worthless garbage? Or convince us that we’re ugly and not good enough so we buy their products? Oh the humanity!

In all seriousness, advertising has had way too much of an influence on our culture and it needs to be properly regulated. I’m sick of being negged by beauty product ads.

Reddit is going to end up just being trolls arguing with bots and corporate shills… if it isn’t already. I haven’t been there in a long time, but I’m fairly confident in that assessment.

What i really wonder about is how long a site can profit off of the majority of activity coming from bots. I’m not tech savvy enough to know if the analytics can tell the difference between a bot posting and a person. How long can that go on before the site stops being profitable via ads? Will companies pay to advertise to bots? Would they even know? It’s kinda funny to think about honestly.

It’ll be really interesting to see how reddit’s downfall comes to be though.

Usually if someone was caught in video they don’t want to be in decent folks will at least blur their face, good people will blur the faces of strangers without being asked.
What corporations are doing is exploitive and downright greedy. Most of what’s been posted was done before this AI issue was even a thought.
It’s not hard to be decent towards others. It really isn’t and this AI bullshit is the worst possible application anyone could’ve come up with.

I like the way you think! I’m cisgender but would totally accept homogender. Plus, homogender homosapien has a nice ring to it.

I honestly think the only way the word cis would be allowed on twitter is if some moron decided to weaponize it and start calling trans folks cisphobic or something. Then act like it’s some sort of brilliant “gotcha” moment because these people are not only genuinely stupid but also hellbent on embodying all the worst parts of humanity.

Only then would the butthole licker of trolls known as Elon Musk accept term.

I think the last white domestic terrorists to be called terrorists were the unibomber and Timothy McVeigh.

Both were in the 80s - 90s iirc. For some reason since 9/11 the word terrorist has been reserved for brown people who may or may not be Muslim and it’s really fucking us over.

At the same time people have been burning down and bombing abortion clinics since the late 70’s and that has never been called out as terrorism, or more accurately christian terrorism either.

I guess my point is that the US government sucks at indentifying/dealing with domestic terrorists and openly turn a blind eye to privileged groups committing atrocities domestically.

Nice try my friend. You have a good day now.

I’ve met some very kind vegans in real life, but the ones online can be downright vicious.

It cannot be healthy for a person to be that angry all the time. Sorry you experienced that and don’t blame you for avoiding it now. People go absolutely insane over weird stuff, especially food related topics. It’s weird how much folks stress themselves out over what others are eating/not eating/how their eating it.

Maybe not, but female hormonal birth control can cause liver tumors and blood clots. Can’t have more kids if a blood clot kills you.

The moral of the story should be safer contraceptives for everyone…

Unfortunately for women they weigh the side effects of hormonal birth control against those of a pregnancy. Since pregnancy also increases the chance of blood clots and other things they just say “good enough!” And put it on the market…which is bullshit. Either way we’re at higher risk of serious health issues.

That’s why women are angry. I feel confident saying the majority of women dont want unsafe bc for men. We want more research into safer bc options available for us too.

I really hate the things that human beings are capable of.

We can be so much better… but instead we get depraved, morally bankrupt, power hungry pieces of literal trash doing this sort of shit in what seems like every industry.

I think one of the many problems with AI generated CSAM is that as AI becomes more advanced it will become increasingly difficult for authorities to tell the difference between what was AI generated and what isn’t.

Banning all of it means authorities don’t have to sift through images trying to decipher between the two. If one image is declared to be AI generated and it’s not…well… that doesn’t help the victims or create less victims. It could also make the horrible people who do abuse children far more comfortable putting that stuff out there because it can hide amongst all the AI generated stuff. Meaning authorities will have to go through far more images before finding ones with real victims in it. All of it being illegal prevents those sorts of problems.

Sometimes I miss my blackberry because it had a keyboard and would read the name of who was texting me as an alert. It also fit in my pocket a lot better and the screen never cracked.

Wish they’d make a new model of that phone. I’d consider getting one if they could manage to not fuck it up with unnecessary features.

There’s also the fact that on mobile ads use up your data. I’m not paying for a data plan so advertisers can use it to shove ads down my throat because I wanted to check the weather. I’ve used the mobile brave browser for a few years now and I will never go back. I don’t go through nearly as much mobile data as I did prior to using ad blockers.

Plus, putting ublock on my PC made youtube usable again. No more ads that are longer than the video I’m trying to watch.

I don’t know how people tolerate the constant ads either. It was driving me insane and genuinely pissed me off.

I wonder why we shifted away from things like waxed paper milk cartons(like the small ones you’d get in school) and waxed butcher paper?

Is waxed paper/cardboard product really that much more expensive than plastic in terms of packaging?

I’ve heard some women say they’d rather die than give birth to a rapists baby. So that kinda tracks…
Edit - this also depends on the woman’s location

Unfortunately dangerous men don’t wear signs around their necks. They just look like normal dudes. It’s the false positive vs false negative. A false positive results in the woman walking away and maybe an awkward moment between two people. A false negative can result in being raped and/or murdered. That’s really what it boils down to. Women just want to stay safe.
