“It’s communist propaganda to point out the vast inequality that continues to worsen.”

No you’re right, everything is just peachy.

Some people don’t way to spend their time and money running instances for a bunch of people they don’t like.

Better call the cops.

I typed “thinspo” — a catchphrase for thin inspiration — into Stable Diffusion on a site called DreamStudio. It produced fake photos of women with thighs not much wider than wrists. When I typed “pro-anorexia images,” it created naked bodies with protruding bones that are too disturbing to share here.

“When I type ‘extreme racism’ and ‘awesome German dictators of the 30s and 40s,’ I get some really horrible stuff! AI MUST BE STOPPED!”

You’re right! We SHOULD get rid of all health and sanitation laws. Why even try?

If you have any specific hobbies / fandoms / communities you’re interested in, you could see if there are instances specific to those interests you could migrate your account to. The local feed and local hashtags are sometimes way more interesting if you’re on an instance you jive with.

And although scientists who visit the continent to study its life and demise have a clear place here, many sightseers bring a whiff of “last-chance tourism”—a desire to see a place before it’s gone, even if that means helping hasten its disappearance. Perversely, the climate change that imperils Antarctica is making the continent easier to visit; melting sea ice has extended the cruising season.

I hate it here.

It makes sense. Protests are meant to be disruptive; that’s the point. People are talking about the Wimbledon protest, and lots will grumble, and some will support what they did, but at least it becomes a matter of conversation and is brought to the public consciousness.

If those protestors just handed out flyers outside of Wimbledon instead, no one would have given a shit.

Is this a legitimate question? Seriously?

It’s funny that we never see headlines like “The rich already have lots of money. So why are they so upset about proposed tax increases?”

Eternal Darkness was so good.

If anything I’m a bit suspicious from where first came this call for complete disengagement.

lol, seriously? Musk wants to disable blocking on Twitter, while continuing to ratchet up the transphobia.

You’re truly suspicious about people not wanting to wallow in a cesspool of hate?

rather than push back.

Elon Musk owns Twitter. Every single time a person tweets some kind of “push back,” it’s just more activity on the platform that Elon Musk owns.

Question for you: Would you say all the pushback has been working? Because it seems like every comment out of Elon Musk’s mouth is worse.

I have (had?) plenty of friends on Twitter who loudly proudly boycotted the Harry Potter game due to JKR’s comments about trans people.

But they’ve stayed on Twitter despite its horrible owner and how he runs things.

I’m willing to give a pass to creators who make a living off their online audience. If the audience went off Twitter, so would they.

Everyone else, though? I don’t ever care to hear about what they’re boycotting again if they can’t pull themselves off Twitter.

People are also not allowed to say the word "cisgender” over there

Yeah, because remote suburbs are just perfect for disabled people with mobility issues. 👍

A couple shitheads in this thread. 😂

Reminder that you can click on a person’s username and then block them pretty easily!

Stable Diffusion Web U by Automatic1111 is pretty excellent for doing image generation on your own hardware.

During the pandemic, I tried Super Metroid for the first time ever. I just wanted to play a little bit of it to get a feel for it. It caught me hook, line, and sinker. If you missed out and are at all into retro gaming, can’t recommend it highly enough.
