with how much of a revolving door of covert white supremacists lemmy is, i can imagine it's hard to boot them out faster than they come in. just federation things

they really are just sitting around the campfire telling the exact same shitty spooky story, back and forth, forever, aren't they

what if we simply took the output of the easily manipulated word salad generator and parsed it into instructions for the computers that are in charge of all our communication to follow

Well over a year ago it was actually useful. [...] And it just doesn't come up with interesting stuff any more.

i have to admit i'm deeply curious what outputs you considering interesting enough for twenty bucks a month

I don't think emojis should be the place to have a socio-political discussion.

have some entirely non-political emojis:

🗳️: BALLOT BOX WITH BALLOT

🇹🇼: FLAG: TAIWAN

🇵🇸: FLAG: PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES

🗽: STATUE OF LIBERTY

🤡: FACE OF "NON-POLITICAL" PERSON

i couldn't resist

Reddit post titled "The Anti-Al crowd is so toxic and ridiculous that it's actually pushed me FURTHER into Al art"

at least when this rhetoric popped up around crypto and GameStop stocks, there was a get-rich-quick scheme attached to it. these fuckers are doing it for free

And yet, my opponents in discussion

good gods you're going to be the most insufferable kind of person, aren't you

You aren't going to convince me of anything

this was a bit of a given

bet you also think the climate cost of cryptocurrency is also a failing of the energy sector to deliver clean power to the innocent sweet little industrial-scale mining tycoons, don't you

you do an excellent job of writing. several times reading this i had to mentally delete paragraphs of explanations for some of the rationalist thoughts and ideology because you have described it perfectly in just a sentence or two.

shared this with some of my in-tech-but-skeptical friends. you deserve a bigger audience

thinking "typewriter monkeys", but maybe that's too literal
