I don’t know how anyone can be scared of the US at this point.

It’s public knowledge that the US has lost allies, lost the war with Iran, lost our bases in the Middle East, and depleted the big, scary weapons that were supposed to be our bread and butter in bullying the rest of the world. It will take 5-10 years, at minimum, to rebuild the weapons stockpile that Donald and Pete depleted in six months, which we know because we’ve forced allies to buy weapons with delivery targets multiple years in the future.

The only threat left is nukes, which while genuinely scary, Donald seems to comprehend what a bad idea it would be to toss out one of those.

If you’re an artist and you posted your art online it trained the algorithm.

These no talent ass clowns stole our shit. The only way this is ethical is if you took an open source model, trained it only on your own artwork, and are using that to produce new things. (But that requires SOME talent and not being a lazy piece of shit.)

Bummer. Looks like a cool idea art-wise judging by the gameplay trailer.

Too bad these fuckers are too lazy and untalented to do the work themselves.

I dropped from a 52 to a 38. I’ve since gained 60 of those pounds back, but a lot of it’s muscle.

I kept the fat guy jeans to remind myself of where I started. Body dysmorphia’s a huge issue.

Agreed.

In my city we have crosswalks where people can just hit a button and turn on a red light. It still doesn’t stop people from wandering into traffic and into my bike lanes every day.

As someone who only travels on two wheels, I can confirm that people wander into my protected bike lanes while scrolling and not paying attention all the time.

Yes, agreed. Fuck cars.

But this is kind of an annoyance, though I can’t claim definitively that it’s enough of a nuisance to merit civil punishments. Having to slow down for two seconds to let the scroller pass really doesn’t bug me that much. (It’s when someone is sleeping in the bike lane that I get peeved.)

I loosed it by losing 150 pounds. It’s a biological bummer that one can literally deflate themselves and things don’t re-tighten.

What a motherfucker.

Yep.

Asking for proof? Should be a very easy thing to provide given how confident you are that, apparently, this is an epidemic among men.

Far be it from all of us to pretend we’re guilty just because you presume we are.

I’m sorry, but you’re being very unreasonable. I hope one day the men in your orbit stop quietly accepting that you say things like this.

I hate how accurate this is and the fact that, no matter whose hands we place this power in, we as a working class are fucked.

Data.

Stats.

Compilation of actual, verified reports.

But, your response does answer my question, and you should know it’s not 2014 anymore. No matter how fashionable your algorithm has made you think that it is to smear men as a whole, the rest of the world has seen how ridiculous it is.

If you think you get to lump me or your male friends in with these people without being asked to prove it, you should maybe have enough respect for the men in your life that you esteem to actually hunt down some evidence before posting things like this.

Have a great day.

Yeah. :(

I remember fall of 2001 at the Mizzou/Texas game, sitting out the anthem in protest and being threatened by people around me. Every damn one of them was a-okay with this for two decades.

It is nice to see public sentiment finally turning against mass surveillance, though. We’ll see if it lasts more than one election cycle.

10000000%

Is there any actual data to support the claim you’re making, or are you taking a few viral videos and using them as a means to support your own implicit bias?

That’s what really sucks about this.

There’s no institutional backlash. (At least not yet. That could change.)

We’re depending on parents who park these little shits in front of screens and expect to be left alone while their kids are radicalized.

Between the Swiss FADP and GDPR, Europe is by far a safer place to house your data.

Just also be sure that anything you don’t want Microsoft to know is being accessed through Linux instead of Windows, or you’re shooting yourself in the foot. Microsoft obviously doesn’t give a fuck a Euro privacy laws.

We’ve known this since 2014, when an actual whistleblower told the public that FB was experimenting on its users without their knowledge or consent, and the result of those experiments is why Meta is currently being sued.

legal privacy protections have been a joke since 9/11

Facts. One of the areas where Dems/Reps always agree is that your civil liberties are theirs to trample on at will.

Yup.,
