Hussein said he was in disbelief that he was told to convert or leave — for the first time in his life — at a Republican convention with the tagline, “Unity drives victory.”
Their idea of unity is not coming together despite differences, it’s an eradication of differences. They aren’t even hiding it. I have no idea why they are surprised.
Redemption from what? My understanding of her public life is that someone nonconsensually released a sex tape of her and then she started in some shows in an attempt to capitalize on a shitty situation.
No comments from kids. Mixed reactions from parents.
Based solely on parent feedback from the article it seems like this will most positively affect kids who enter preteen years after the ban and who never had access to social media before. Kids who got used to it and now lost access seem to be a mixed bag. Obviously no one actually knows effects on long term outcomes yet. I would have really liked to see what the kids themselves are saying.
I would be totally down for a movie à la Lego movie where there a gritty drama about a slumlord running alongside the actual monopoly game and it ends with a revolution/board flip and then the people looking to get involved irl.
For the most part I have little sympathy for people who married Trump supporters. The Trump supporter likely had a lot of terrible behavior towards people in her day to day life and her husband just didn’t care about that because it didn’t directly affect him and their relationship. Now it has.
I don’t think this proposed a false dichotomy at all. AI can be capable of just enough to still be a problem. If AI can rip off your game an infinite number of times before yours even gets out there, then your game looks like the rip off of those games and those games may have already soured an interested audience by being buggy or having weird assets etc.
I don’t think people are claiming AI is incapable of anything. Obviously, it will generally generate an output. The question tends to be around the quality of the output and the issues with the generation itself (dataset and energy concerns).
I don’t know your kid or your relationship with them or anything, so I’m just speaking in generalities, but most trans people I know really appreciate being called by their preferred name and pronouns. If your kid is using certain pronouns with new people or with their friends that they are out to, it might be nice to give them a try. Maybe not, again I don’t know you both, but just because someone is willing to joke about pronouns doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t actually care about them. Seems like you really care for your kid and I’m sure that if they wanted to be referred to with new pronouns that you’d be able to figure it out. Wishing you both the best.
It probably also depends a bit on how you use your account. I have a more professional account and one that I use for personal projects that I might not want an employer seeing. I might not want to taint my personal one with an association to AI, but the professional one would really depend on how good the project was in the first place since most employers nowadays don’t really care. If it was really unclean and buggy I might not want my professional account associated, but if it was a project I thought a lot of people could benefit from and the code itself was passable I would probably make a pull request.
He talks about increasing benefits for people in the military and increasing recruitment. That doesn’t sound like someone who is reflecting on the military in any way that aligns with my ideals.
I’d love to see people talk about reforming the military and ensuring better channels of reporting. He states he personally saw people target civilians, but I don’t see him campaigning about better whistleblower protections. Maybe I missed it because I’m not following it that closely, but he seems to wholly support the military and just be upset about fraud and waste and not about the raping and Geneva convention violations.
That’s fair.
I also think it’s a fair assessment to say that younger gens are doing it more. I think in part it’s because there’s been a big cultural shift in such a small time period and a larger portion of the younger population has moved with it. It’s hard to act lovingly towards people who are in your view unrepentantly supporting backsliding on centuries of progress.
I obviously have no details about your relationship with your kids, and I know you didn’t ask, but it’s possible he’d be interested in explaining his thought process if he felt you’d be receptive to hearing him out. At least you’ll know why he blamed you for something you were powerless to stop. I’m always sad to hear about people going no contact because I have and I know how hard it is. The people were such big parts of my life and though I have gotten to a place where I don’t long to repair the relationship, if they reached out and I felt like they came with an open mind and an open heart I’d be glad for the chance. Sometimes it just takes someone reaching out. Maybe your son doesn’t feel the same way, but good luck to you both.
I didn’t see a direct link in the article, so here you go (seems to be Japanese only, which is understandable): https://gokilove.jp/
This persons comment history indicates this is likely a lie/bait: https://lemmy.world/comment/24226662
I don’t know the full situation with your kid, but that seems unusual if there is no context being left out. Acting like it’s an issue with an age group going no contact over “everything” is really disingenuous though.
He’s pretty hated by his neighbors if I remember correctly. He started an illegal school on his compound and his neighbors have attempted to get it shut down, but he’s too powerful for even the people in his vicinity. I can’t imagine what a less empowered individual could do.
Not to be a doomer, I’m just at a loss. We need class solidarity on a level we’ve never had before.
I’m not attempting to suggest it was. Just that the statement that Americans like violence and have opinions on who it should be directed towards likely holds for at least a simple majority of people around the world. Obviously where people mostly differ is who it should be directed at.
Most people think violence can be justified. There are very few pacifists in the world, but I understand your point. I’m not inherently anti violence, but I have brought up not just his military history but his support of the military as part of his platform from the very beginning. I wish people cared as much about anti imperialism (and the other issues of our military industrial complex) as they do about domestic issues. Americans are quite militaristic though and I think it will take a lot to move us from that position.
Platner still supports the military and wants to increase benefits and amp up recruitment. I don’t think he really cares about what he did or saw over there. I’m not saying people shouldn’t vote for him or that he’s lying about PTSD or anything, but I often see people suggest progressive policies equate to anti militarism but it’s just not the case in this situation at least.
I have no way to determine who did what when, but I think if he really was reformed his policy on the military would be much different.
Only snippets of the article were available to me, but I wonder if it was clear to the participants that they all referenced the same thing. “Cultivated” has an association with crops and traditional farming so it’s possible people associate it with non lab grown meat. Obviously word choice matters, but I’m unclear if it’s a matter of them finding the phrasing more appealing, or just being unintentionally misled by the term.
Meaningless article except for the following:
However, the third image it generated was absolutely insane and seemed to border on the illegal. As such, we have opted not to attach that result to this article. However, it was unnerving to see something like that created out of nowhere.
No elaboration whatsoever so I’m guessing maybe CP because what other images are borderline illegal? How that’s not the main point of the article I have no idea. The article otherwise is just the “say I’m alive” meme already posted in the comments.
In the newest Superman movie he and Lois go to his family home. He has punk band posters that she claims are normie or poser or something. The following scene comes later: https://youtube.com/shorts/2LivEfhnW9k
I appreciate your response, but I was just curious as to what the original commenter thinks she needed redemption for. Apparently they think that being “vapid and vacuous” requires a redemption arc, despite likely not knowing her personally and having no actual knowledge of her real personality. There are only so many ways for someone to bounce back from a leaked sex tape and she chose hers and I just don’t think it requires an apology (as Carl alludes to elsewhere in this thread).
I think the article strengthens the idea that we have no idea who she is and what her life has been like, so unless she’s actually wronged someone, I don’t see a need for a redemption. For what it’s worth, I was aware of the content of the article you shared, but I didn’t think it was relevant to why she should be seeking redemption. Though I do appreciate you attempting to add context.
