It's uhhh pretty tough these days to be a leftist with strong but nuanced opinions on both ai and china

Meu deus. Gente que sabe mais sobre política brasileira, devo anotar no calendário mais um golpe para esse janeiro ou está segura dessa vez? Pela minha experiência nos estados unidos, ainda não está, mas a atitude do pessoal parece diferente. Tô errado?

Read through a lot of these and was surprised not to see one answer that's obvious to me: music! Not only is it easier for anyone to make good music, you don't lose music anymore either. Spotify and Youtube making it possible to access almost any song from the last 100 years instantly is a miracle

It's "leftists are always right, they're just right too early" but the leftist is Hillary Clinton

Really by the 19th century they were conquering the world for rubber and guano, and you never see them eating that stuff either.

Counterpoint: it's literally called a "party"

I refuse to believe this. I've never heard anyone outside Michigan call it a "coney" "Chicago-style coney" you're fucking with me

The amount of atheists/irreligious I see defending some sort of human soul-adjacent concept always confuses me

There's a guy on here i follow and i like a lot of his posts, mostly bc he has good takes and is clearly very smart, but i just realized that probably ~30% of it is just that his prof pic reminds me of my childhood best friend who died a few years ago

Kkkkk o país dos maus perdedores e dos maus ganhadores também

Many people will remember Haley Stevens as the AIPAC candidate, but to me she'll always be the one who described Bernie, AOC, and Hasan Piker as "people who do the socialism", which is a phrase that will forever, as they say, live rent-free in my head

If it's the third post in your thread and the third time you say "I don't care" I umm... no longer believe you

I don't know how to interpret this combo Also i got Uruguay too

Call me a bleeding-heart liberal globalist commie or whatever, but it'll forever fucking disgust me how even "decent" american media like the nyt make such a big deal about a dozen dead american soldiers, but literally 100 times more dead iranian *civilians* is just like, an afterthought, if that

the greatest trick capitalism has pulled is convincing a huge swathe of both its defenders and its haters that economics = capitalism instead of capitalism just being one of many possible economic systems

You talk about chocolate milk and everyone loses their minds

With Clacton in the news so much this week, I feel it necessary to bring any attention I can to one of my all-time favorite youtube videos youtu.be/S-hD06TUOa4?...

"Doctor, who was actually rather good" Now there's a interesting premise for a tv show

Society keeps trying to get me to hate pigeons IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN

All this shit just makes me realize i must be way more doomer about surveillance than i thought Oh, this technology means i could be recorded by anyone at any time, with no way of knowing? Did you guys not come to terms with this like 10 years ago? All this does is make it slightly easier, yeah?

Fundamentally, everyone just needs self-determination, freedom of movement (relatively), and an international system that can enforce these things with as little blood as possible Don't worry, I know I'm dreaming

I'm literally always saying this

Found out I'm on block lists for being pro-AI and for being anti-AI, for being a lib and for being a leftist I see my pinned post is working

To everyone i follow: i actually fully reformed and got, like, totally different views before i went and committed that act of terrorism so don't worry, it's like, not your fault at all

Sleeping in amtrak coach: 🫩🤧🤕 Waking up in amtrak coach: 🤗🤩🥰

This is such a pointless debate now that we're clearly headed for an unambiguous *bad time* economically, but I'm gonna seriously beat my head through a wall if i keep hearing these "global warming isn't real bc it's literally snowing again"-ass arguments

I wouldn't be so present-biased as to call "Disco Sucks" a "MAGA test-run". Any true student of history knows it's all just been KKK sequels the whole time

I already thought the Artemis photos were amazing, but there's something almost alien about these that makes me feel... something

A razão por que o Brasil não tem trens de longo curso é que não se fazem trens com chuveiros suficientes para todos tomarem dois banhos entre o rio e são paulo

in persian culture, telling someone "we're going to kill you all" is considered deeply offensive

you're gonna hear two hits pal, me hitting the bong and my shin hitting the corner of the coffee table. and then you can expect to hear me say God Fucking Damn It really big one time followed by a whole bunch of smaller Jesus Fucking Christs. then i'll probably kinda zone out for a while. tough guy

You know, I'm pretty open to "the self is an illusion"-type takes, but idk, something tells me that's not what marc fucking andreesen actually believes

Is it just me or are people confusing wildly different concepts like technology itself (whether an automobile can be trusted to move) with its first-order effects (pedestrians now at risk of being hit by cars) or intervention by business advocates (the invention of jaywalking as a concept)

I say this too often but the thing about our side is that i actually believe the facts are on it If you agree, it should be easy to see why even convenient lies are bad strategy long term

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

The conservative brain trust is Ignatius C. Reilly-posting again

“outside (trained) agitators” has been the term of art within the right for well over 50 years now

Hoping now at least the civil war is quick and we can finally get to that balkanized america we've fantasized about for decades Personally i already pledge allegiance to the Great Lakes Union and wish for nothing but peace with our brothers to the north, but if Ontario just wants us that's cool too
