I hate driving so much, I moved somewhere 15 minutes from work even though I only go in like 3 times a month

This looks like a fake headline you’d see in the background of a movie

Business Corp Acquires Service Company

Now that’s dedication. I’d probably have driven myself into a ditch by the 3rd month of that (but I haaaate driving)

How good was that job for you to be commuting for 2+ hours a day?

If openai kept buying reddit data after 2022, they are idiots. They let the cat out of the bag.

Bot activity brings “engagement” which generated more page views from actual humans. Literally the only downside of this announcement is the optics of having bots in the first place.

The bots were already indistinguishable from humans on reddit, do you really think that this recent scrutiny is going to lead to fewer bots? Or might it actually lead to better bots?

Is it? Reddit has been full of bots for years.

And if the r/CMV thing didn’t make it apparently, the recent wave of them weren’t “caught in the act” and only became a “problem” when the researchers announced their shitty experiment.

If realistic chat bots can fool the masses, why on earth would reddit get rid of them? It helps their metrics. “Look at how active our site is! Buy stock!”

No they won’t lol

If they didn’t do it already, it’s not gonna happen now. This is lip service to the shareholders

Or he’s just shitting on other companies who he knows are too greedy to do the same. Proton is getting positive press for this and he’s leaning into it with a bit of hyperbole

Not saying he’s a genius or anything, he’s just a spokesperson doing spokesperson things

Tom McDonald (?) is an awful rightwing rapper. No bangers to be found but he’s got a lot of songs (and I recommend none of them)

New Chromium framework for browser extensions that severely limits their functionality. It neuters adlockers.

I never claimed otherwise, though. I said I would have rejected it for being bad and all of my comments have been my opinion on why it’s not good.

trump is an airplane, and the Rule of Law/Constitution are the twin towers

If I was the artist’s friend and they just pitched that idea to you with that description… I’d suggest workshopping it a bit.

And we’re discussing if it’s a good cartoon, not the content of it.

It’s a mediocre cartoon. It’s good enough to post on social media but if I’m paying someone to make a cartoon for my paper/website, I’d expect something better than this.

It’s a political cartoon. The cartoon part is supposed to add something that words couldn’t.

You’re implying this cartoon is good enough to publish which tells me you either haven’t seen many political cartoons or you’re letting your opinion on the message define if it’s good or not.

Sounds like you agree with me then! It not being clever is what makes it a bad cartoon. It doesn’t bring new perspective, it just says “Trump is bad like this other thing was bad”

Agreeing with the point (which I do) doesn’t make a cartoon or meme good.

You guys have a really low bar to think this is a clever cartoon

Political cartoons are supposed to be clever and this is not. “9/11 was really bad. Trump is also really bad.” Wow… Never thought about it like that…

And it’s in bad taste, using 9/11 almost as a punchline. Replace the twin towers with any tragedy and it’s the same “joke.” How about a cartoon in Uvalde? The kids can be wearing that text on their shirts.

Agreeing with the message doesn’t blind me to how r/im14andthisisdeep this is. It’s just not a clever cartoon.

It’s kinda tasteless and doesn’t really say anything.

I’d have rejected it 6 years ago for not being good

That’s…not the point.
