@ThoreauBklyn @snuppydogg There is no reason whatsoever for a normal guy to spend any time looking at profiles when 1 in 100 or fewer will be matches
English
@snuppydogg I wish dating apps showed how frequently men swiped right. Just indiscriminately liking everyone is just as annoying as the AI bots and catfish men receive.
English
One time I was complaining about the apps and my female friend offered to "show [me] how it's done"
She looked at a girl's profile for a couple minutes, then typed out a thoughtful message and handed the phone back with a smug look on her face
A few seconds later I watched the life drain from her eyes as the girl unmatched me

@beffjezos Sports teams recruit the best of the best, globally, in order to win... the US should be no different.
English
Ok, gloves off. Fuck it.
CCP wants US open borders to dissolve the US and render it dysfunctional.
FSB wants US closed borders to maximize multipolarity / break ties with allies in their backyard.
Anybody pushing for any of these extremes is a useful idiot to foreign agents.

Okay, here's where George Lucas went wrong:
So first, he called the antagonist group the Trade Federation. The average viewer should immediately understand their function and role in the galaxy, right? This is what we call economical storytelling. They're the TRADE FEDERATION.
Wrong. The average viewer is too stupid to understand this. And it gets worse from there. Because even if the average viewer WAS able to understand that the Trade Federation is, in fact, a powerful group controlling trade in the galaxy, they would then immediately become confused by the concept of the Trade Federation blocking the flow of trade to a planet. This is because the average person is too stupid to understand the concept of foregoing immediate gratification for the prospect of long-term gain. So the logical implications of what the Trade Federation is doing, which would be obvious to most of us intelligent viewers who understand bargaining leverage, would still be completely beyond the capacities of the average viewer.
Basically, Lucas wildly overestimated the intelligence of the general audience, and left too many failure points where the average viewer would become completely lost. It's his own fault really. We cannot blame the stupid for their own incapacity. They can't help it.

it's been almost 30 years and i swear to god i could not tell you if the trade federation is pro- or anti-trade

@remedy @alexthechick The problem that I see here is that this is an inherently chaotic situation. It’s entirely possible that something comes out of the chaos that you could not foresee when thinking it’s a done deal.

If I type what I think what actions are justice in this case, the nice people with ear pieces and sunglasses will show up.
I think people are playing very very dangerous games assuming that the traditional manner will not return.

"Look back in courage" the judge tells the girls - including one who had told the court she wanted to die. No. When these girls look back, they’ll remember the pain. The violence. The terror. The humiliation. The sound of their rapists laughing while their lives were destroyed. And playing behind it all like a sickening backing track: a judge delivering sympathy and praise to their vile attackers - before watching them walk free out of court. If there was one thing that could have offered the smallest fraction of "comfort" to these girls - it was justice. And there was none here.

@UnpolishedSaint @RealPostFolder no. pay for your own meal and wish her a happy life and never speak to her again
English
@RealPostFolder I would have covered the bill out of my own pride.
Then would have a frank conversation with her afterwards and let her know that I don't appreciate being "tested" like this or in any way, and if she values the relationship she'll never pull something like that again.
English
I wouldn't mind paying when I choose to, but turning it into some public "test" is immature
English
@alexthechick that's why the traditional manner will not return and that's why they do these terrible humiliation rituals, to demonstrate that the men have lost their will
English
@remedy Because they know they will be thrown in jail immediately

@AI_EmeraldApple the most insidious and evil aspect of woke ideology is that it lets mediocrities believe they are doing something important and good by destroying productive people around them over nothing

My most unhinged run-in with HR was while working at a biotech company as a senior scientist, a long time ago.
They were doing racism audits, and me being an Asian, they targeted me in an inquisition-style interrogation. In essence, it was about 30 minutes of them... Gen Z women with a chip on their shoulders, trying to make me say that I experienced racism at the company.
It was them framing every little comment, quip, joke, and conversation that my 'white' coworkers had with me into some sort of racist dog whistle. They wanted me to "out" my work friends as "racists" so that HR could crucify them. I knew they were recording the whole time, so I had to be very careful with my words.
I kept my answers brutally short, usually with a single-word answer of "no", or that lacks context, or that's a misframing.
They were literally trying to manufacture problems to go after people to justify their existence. They were trying to goad me, to extract the "right" answers from me that I refused to play their stupid game.
After the interview was over, and after their little racism witch hunt didn't work, they moved on to other targets, other minorities, other stupid problems no one cared about.

@Nick_Davidov I guess we have to do without Russian, Iranian, Ukrainian etc. scientists

The biggest bullshit move by DHS in its history. So everyone on a O1 or H1B visa would have to stop working legally in the US, go back to their country and wait for years of backlog? This includes top scientists in our universities, founders of billion dollar companies (at least 3 just in our portfolio would be affected by the way). And if we look at individual countries it becomes even more bs. Indians would have to wait decades. Russians don’t have anywhere to go (there is no US embassy in Russia, hello?).
This is the worst imaginable way to disrupt important work for the country and pretend you’re fighting some loophole.
Homeland Security@DHSgov
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

@CovfefeAnon we've all seen the prophecy that is Idiocracy but each step along the way still folds us like a heavyweight boxer's body shot

At some point I realized that what determined people's reactions to the (awful) Star Wars prequels was whether the person compared them to movies that came before the prequels or movies that have come out after...
John Carter@martianwyrdlord
@CovfefeAnon @cclamhammer I kind of hated Troy when it first came out and now I love it. This is terrifying. If it continues, the Star Wars sequel trilogy will look like a masterwork in twenty year's time.

before you waste a lot of time in therapy trying to understand men, consider that Napoleon got volunteers to man a battery position with an almost 100% casualty rate by simply renaming it "the battery of not being a little bitch"

@HMBohemond Was lovecraft known to be actually racist or is this just because he named his cat after a common word for a colour at that time, like the dambusters guy and his dog.

> claude: “I'm happy to look it up, but I'm not going to keep talking if you call me names. Knock that off and I'll search”
> wait… it just threatened me
> then asks “do you remember when did it come out or what was it about? prompting tips, getting better results, something like that?”
> me: “i dont and yes u are dumb”

This is insane.

@AyakaMods i love that nobody at google considered that the rights holders might actually use their product

Google just permanently banned a manga artist’s entire Google account, just for uploading his own old manga files to Drive.
AI moderation triggered and flagged it, he tried to submit appeal then he got rejected it by Google and now he has lost everything like Gmail, Drive, all linked services is gone.
He never even sharing the files publicly, it’s only backing up his own a private work like any creator and artists.
This is Google Drive “AI moderation” in action. No human support and no serious to take action.
Physical storage or real private alternatives only.
Support the artists getting screwed by this. This level of corporate overreach is insane.

ところで恥を忍んで告白するのですが、私、Googleから垢BANされました。昔描いた漫画のデータをドライブにアップしている時に警告が出て、再審査請求も却下され、見事垢BAN。 まじで、困るよ。いろんなサイトやサービスにGoogleアカウントを使っていたので。 良い子のみんなには関係ないかもしれないけど、「俺、良い子…かな？」って人は気をつけてくれよな！

The U.K. now prosecutes the parents of murdered kids if they say they want the murderer to die. We are a silly nation with pathetic pussies everywhere. Some are in for a shock when the reckoning comes.

@thinkingshivers you think it's 'better' because it's stereotyped language and yours is particular and therefore unfamiliar even to you
English
I submitted a draft of my short story to Claude for copy editing. Sometimes he’ll suggest a re-write of a particular sentence.
My version: “She was just a rich girl, with a carelessness about her that could only come from being born into privilege.”
Claude’s suggestion: “She was just a rich girl, careless in the way only privilege allows.”
It's a matter of taste, but I personally think Claude's version is better. It's saying the same thing but more deftly. But when I swap his sentence in then plug the paragraph into Pangram, it goes from being high confidence that it's human to low confidence that it's human. If I keep doing this, will it start to read like AI slop? If I keep doing this, is it even my writing anymore?
So I'm keeping my version, the one I think is worse, and I'm disquieted by the fact that there could be a better version of this story that I now need to specifically avoid.
