For those that don't know, Barnsley is a town in northern England, which means that when this inevitably fails nobody in government will even notice.
SJW is the most ridiculous "insult"
social justice is good, actually
Some secrets should remain uncovered.
@pgo @elettrona condivido il tuo pensiero @pgo , tuttavia, da genitore molto attento a questi temi, posso testimoniare che il ruolo dei genitori è sopravvalutato: un genitore riesce ad insegnare qualcosa fino alla fine dell'infanzia (più o meno), dopo la capacità di contenere ed indirizzare i figli adolescenti si riduce drasticamente. Qualcosina forse può farla ancora la scuola, per il resto il massimo che si possa fare, è solo vigilare e sperare che i nostri figli abbiano amicizie appropriate
@alex_kappa2 @pgo Il problema è capire chi siano, le cattive compagnie. Perché per un genitore osservante religioso, qualunque religione sia, potrebbe essere problematico se i figli (e soprattutto le figlie) abbiano contatti fisici o digitali con persone di religione diversa o di nessuna religione. Per un vannacciano potrebbe essere problematica l'esposizione a contenuti progressisti (e viceversa) uno potrebbe dire -giustamente- che i vari circuiti dei "baby influencer" o adolescenti onlyfans, siano una gestione malsana del denaro; però mettersi il figlio minorenne a lavorare a nero nella propria bellissima azienda agricola super biologica per ottimizzare i costi, magari quello è uno sfruttamento che va bene...

We need diversity in our communities not just at the bottom level but in leadership to represent and advocate for our interests. White men are naturally incentivized to be all “I care about the technology, let’s not get political” because the status quo benefits them and the externalities disproportionately hurt us.
There's something called the Cadiz pipeline that could potentially drain every aquifer in the Mojave to continue supplying water to industrial farms and coastal cities like LA and San Diego.
Given that Star and I were displaced from those exact cities, well, it's complicated! We now have nowhere to go if the water runs out, and it's getting harder and harder to reconcile the world even within our spiritual framework. It feels, sometimes, like we're marching towards inevitable death, and settlers say things like "well, shouldn't you just move?"
Because your entire existence is predicated on running from your problems, and making them someone else's problem. And when those problems follow you, instead of learning, you just repeat the cycle and leave again.
All there is to do is hope that we can inspire folks here to plant trees, that some of the microclimate rainfall patterns will return if we do a good enough job, and to hold our breath and wait. This isn't apathy: the pipeline is going through, they've successfully hopped the environmental reviews they were supposed to go through and gotten approval. We're choosing to focus on what we can do, and on doing the best we can do, rather than spending our time running. This is going to happen everywhere eventually -- maybe we'll be an example of a way to resist, or maybe we'll be the first to perish. Only time will tell I guess!
And while this may be written in melodramatic language a bit, just know that this is very real, and not the least bit an exaggeration of what we're really facing out here.
Remember that the orange haze, the wildfires, the evacuations, the destroyed lives, the incinerated cities, your own personal respiratory distress after being forced against your will to smoke an entire forest
This was foisted on you to enrich a vanishingly small minority; it was never necessary
The fossil fuel industry knew about this since the 50's and covered it up like tobacco companies and lung cancer
Don't forget, don't forgive
Your anger is justified; direct it at those responsible
It's 90 degrees F but it's so cold in the basement that jeans are nice.
none of the slopmongers understand consent, and I think that's been the most exhausting part of the last few years

it's just a tool, and we're gonna hide evidence so you won't tell we're using it.

Regarding AI slop permeating everything...
It's incredibly important to know that right now there is a MASSIVE amount of money and effort by corporations, financial institutions, and governments to get people to use it.
(There are motivations behind pushing that use that go well beyond just making a buck. AI is a layer of abstraction over information control, it's a method of locking in compute control, etc etc)
But that use is still heavily subsidized - from cheap tokens and use subscriptions to local governments subsidizing power and water and taxes for their data centers.
That can't last.
And nor can its current heavy use.
I have no idea how it will look moving forward. So much of AI is propped up artificially on one hand that it will fall if left to its own devices. But on the other hand there is so much money and power behind it that it can last artificially for a long time.
Anyhow. Don't give up hope. Every act of resistance increases its cost and therefore its ability to withstand.
Trump's "communist" panic isn't just senile ranting.
It's a strategy. It comes straight from a book Bannon and Vance endorsed, a genocide-themed screed that calls for dehumanizing Democrats as demons who don't deserve rights.

If only you had bought $1000 worth of stock in SpaceX on June 16, you would now have $602 left.
Then again, not believing in Elon's fantasy company means you have $1000 left.
Just listened to a great interview with Rebecca Nagle on The Red Nation podcast. Episode is called “What Indigenous People Think of the 250th” (couldn’t find a URL).
Her new series “First America unveils how the founders’ treatment of Indigenous nations—and their resistance—shaped US democracy” http://firstamerica.info/
@janet Here's a webpage for it: https://therednation.libsyn.com/what-indigenous-people-think-of-the-250th-the-first-america-podcast-series-w-rebecca-nagle
