I’d say the dancing at least helps to spread awareness, but I don’t think there’s any country on Earth that in"t aware of Trump’s stupid tariffs

Musk: “Civil War is Inevitable!”

People destroy his company’s products.

LLMs are made to mimic how we speak, and some can even pass the Turing test, so I’m not surprised that people who don’t know better think of these LLMs as conscious in some way or another.

It’s not a necessarily a fault on those people, it’s a fault on how LLMs are purposefully misadvertised to the masses

The secret is both red and blue are establishment parties which seek to help billionaires.

The only difference is the blue parties billionaires are socially conscious, so they’ll act progressive, but won’t rock the boat economically.

Looks like the UK government isn’t the only one slobbering at thought of being able to invade people’s privacy

Unfortunately it’s not that easy to pull people out of the “orange fever”. People underestimate just how effective how right-wing propaganda is at indoctrinating people towards hatred, and against their own best interests.

It’s almost extinct because those with that particular “backbone” keep dying off to curable diseases.

Though I’m more mad about those they’ll take with them as they act as a vector for what were damn near extinct diseases to make a comeback

I’ve been using protonmail basically since its inception for money-related stuff (due to it being secure), and the one time I’ve had a fraud flag appear while using it was due to being on a VPN at the same time.

… But I’ve had that also happen when I used to daily drive Gmail, so I can’t imagine the Proton part made the difference.

Obviously anecdotes aren’t very good evidence, and maybe in your experience it was your email - but if that is the case, I’d be weary of any provider that automatically flags non-“big tech” addresses as fraudulent. That likely means they’re rather lazy about their cybersecurity.

Well the simple answer is that doing that is the easiest way to divide the masses and turn them against one another, thus allowing the rich to maintain control and do what they want

This whole screenshot is basically one state’s propaganda machine vs. another.

Just because the Chinese propaganda machine is acting the straight man in this particular interaction, doesn’t mean they don’t have skeletons in their own closet

It ia very much an English speaking world thing, but I wouldn’t say US-centric as we have basically the same greeting in the UK.

Yeah, that wouldn’t fly as much here either - if somebody asked how my day was, I’d be inclined to think they want a summary at least.

As others have pointed out, the problem is “How are you?” on its own is generally a greeting not a question.

As such the answer is largely irrelevant - so while it doesn’t have to be outright lie, the answer shouldn’t be longer than a single statement and shouldn’t make the other person feel like they need to be concerned.

If you want a slightly less beaming answer you could go with “Alright”, “same old, same old”, “same as always”, or “Eh, could be worse”, or any of the other suggestions already made.

I’d be honest. Life is as much (if not more) about luck as it is skill.

There are smart folks out there who have spent their entire lives working hard, probably made decent money, but will never be rich because an opportunity they were equipped to capitalise on just never arrived.

By that same score, there are people who stumble onto or are born into opportunities for wealth that most people will never see by sheer happenstance.

My only impression of him being that he enabled your wife’s cheating, I’d hazard a guess he was born into his opportunity - and while that doesn’t diminish his own efforts, its not a fair comparison to make. Apples to oranges and all that.

While I absolutely agree with the sentiment here, I doubt it’d convince anyone remotely “pro-life” - because one’s “just a chicken”, and the other’s human.

I mean Christ, if you can’t get them to sympathise with the life carrying the fetus, you’re not gonna succeed with a random chicken’s.

Remember when most people knew Trump as that one sleazy businessman who cameo’ed in Home Alone one time, and hosted the US Apprentice - rather than as the largest single threat to US democracy in modern times? Sure wish it had stayed that way.

Turns out you can get away with basically anything as long as you have enough power.

I’ve always thought the US justice system is two-tiered, but never did I think I’d see it so blatantly put on display
