honestly, it reads more like the man with the rifle pointed into a crowd and started advancing towards them. literally protecting others is not larper behavior. a larper would incorrectly identify the time and place, but it’s not as though the shooting here was unjustified; an immediate threat to multiple lives was present. now, should the peacekeeper be the one to hold a gun? it doesn’t seem like it. i am confused as to why they are not being pursued for charges but whatever, the system doesn’t make sense to me anyway.

people were easily swayed by Facebook posts to support and further a genocide in Myanmar. a sophisticated chatbot that mimics human intelligence and agency is going to do untold damage to the world. ChatGPT is predictive text. Period. Every time. It is not suddenly gaining sentience or awareness or breaking through the Matrix. people are going to listen to these LLMs because they present its information as accurate regardless of the warning saying it could not be. this shit is so worrying.

100%

outbreaks every so often aren’t unusual so i don’t want to be alarmist but this is going to happen at a higher frequency because of Trump’s appointees. they’re all corrupt and were only chosen because they’ve sworn fealty to him. for example, the dr. who heads the FDA, Martin Makary, used to work for John Hopkins and advocated for vaccines and masking and sounded like your normal average physician during the pandemic. now, a few months in to his role as head of the FDA, he’s announced that covid vaccines are going to be limited to only people 65+ older or compromised individuals. you’d think maybe there’s some supply chain issue or logistic difficulty or idk anything reasonable that would support the recommendation, but no, Dr. Makary thinks they “aren’t necessary.” in 2024 he was vocally opposed to vaccine mandates as well and hasn’t changed that opinion.

yeah you need to drop this bullshit American mentality, sorry.

i don’t understand why you’re bothered by this, honestly. sounds like you have psychological hangups regarding being given stuff for free and should absolutely not project that shame on your son.

honestly, that’s implied with how i described the type of South Africans being favored lol but yes.

the South African fascist foot soldiers masquerading as refugees makes such a transparent statement from the Trump administration that it is blinding. people claiming there are no racial motivators are fucking delusional or purposely lying at this point. it’s one of the two and nothing else.

remember: the DNC is just a random fucking organization all the Dems have agreed to let control them lol so when some party member tries to disconnect from them as evidence of their true behavior and tolerances and positions don’t forget… this isn’t how it HAS to be. they created this. it doesn’t need to be organized this way. it isn’t a law that there needs to be a DNC and RNC. this is their own game and they’re pretending it doesn’t exist when people criticize choices made at the table.

tell me more, tell me more!
