In Abrahamic religions the eating of pork is prohibited because pork is an “unclean” animal, and indeed pork is one of the most dangerous meats to consume when not cooked properly.
Yet plenty of people ate pork and didn’t suffer any noticeable setback. This is a myth, or rather some kind of apologetics aimed at attempting a rational explanation at something which wasn’t decided by rationality.
Meme coins are usually run by incels, so it is most likely still both.
Disinformation even.
There was once a theory that the reason for the difference in which side a vehicle is driving on the road today, stems from whether a country had many stretches of untamed wilderness with lots of bandits. So if there was a high likelihood that whoever you met on the road was a danger, the horsecart driver preferred passing them on the side of their sword arm (right hand as default), while if you did not have to take that into account, you would pass them on the left hand side.
The theory has now largely been abandonded as spurious, but it does remain a fact that there were dangerous stretches of roads in older times in Europe as well.
No, none of that is true. You think it is easier to work with because it is what you are most used to. People who are only familiar with metric have absolutely no problem working with metric, and your “A foot is 12 inches, which has whole number factors of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. A yard is three feet” is basically goobledigook for metric users in that context and not some kind of advantage.
Dehumanisation succesful.
There are fascists kids as well. You are not automatically anti-fascist just because you are young. The ranks of fascism has succesfully replenished itself through generations.
It does make the important point that MAGA cultists are not limited to boomers though, which is something a lot of younger people seems to think. Being young doesn’t mean you are immune to the lure of fascism.
It is not so much the “I want to use it as a toy regardless of the environmental consequences” crowd like you that is the main problem. That would be the “I want to use it to create profit regardless of the environmental and artistic consequences” which is the main problem. They will eventually completely replace actual art, because it profits them and they have no limits to how much slop they can produce.
You are not achieving your goal though. You are not making art with AI, something else is doing it.
You are still not making your own art.
The problem is that the people in power do care a lot about the shareholders.
People should read up on the leadership conflict currently going on at the Library of Congress.
On May 8, 2025, two days after Hayden had given testimony to the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on House Administration,[80][81] via email and without any explanation, she was abruptly fired by President Trump … No replacement of Hayden has been nominated. Principal Deputy Librarian Robert Newlen,[86] who would have served as interim librarian was fired and Trump named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting librarian of Congress and later fired the deputy librarian and copyright office director (Perlmutter and Newlen), appointing senior DOJ officials Brian Nieves and Paul Perkins as respectively, for the interim. This has been interpreted as an attack on the separation of powers.[87] Perlmutter has sued to dispute the legality of the dismissal,[88] as the Register is appointed by, and responsible to, the Librarian of Congress.
So currently there are two conflicting acting directors of LOC. One, who is a lawyer, appointed by Trump, whom noone at LOC accepts, and one librarian, who does the actual day to day administration.
It is curious that the article doesn’t mention who is speaking for the LOC, they are just twitter messages by the LOC account. I bet that while the Trump sycophant has no power over any of the librarians in LOC, he is in control of the LOC twitter account and the website, with some external techbros doing his bidding, and that is all he has to play with, yet unsurprisingly enough still managed to turn everything into shit just with those slivers of control.
The actual staff of the LOC are just doing their library thing (their youtube channel has been very active lately with some knowledgeable and interesting stuff), while this piece of shit is busy doing his Trump shit.
Wow, Trump really thinks he’ll still be capable of running a major event in 2028?
Trump has never run anything. He has people to do that for him. Usually people even more stupid and evil than himself.
One should think there were no more US state secrets left for him to hand to Putin. But I guess there must be some.
It isn’t AI, it is just one of those facebook ragebait spam pictures which has flourished on the internet for decade now.
The point is that this never happened.
“Likely”? What kind of pathetic simping language is that. There is no “likely” about prices going up from such a move.
Because they know that that is really what he is. Everyone has him figured out now. That is why NATO and EU brownnoses him in front of journalists, or why Qatar “gifts” him an airplane.
