it sounds to me like it may have been more about being able to curate the community through active engagement more than an attachment to the end product of such a feature, i.e. total profile “score” of different users’ contributions.
I’m pretty sure that war was about fracturing international working class solidarity before something like the internet could be developed. There’s no war like a war for supremacy. The authors of our world knew as much 100+ years ago, how ethnic/cultural divisions/pride prove to be one of the most effective carrots for distracting the soldiers of our species towards serving the interests of the hierarchy (dictatorship of the incumbents). Hitler was probably as much of a pawn for the elites of his time as Trump has proven to be in the USA for the sadistic masters-behind-the-curtains of today
I think no one **objectively deserves anything, so I’m not disagreeing with your sentiment but I think I get tripped up by the anthropomorphism more than the concept of certain people deserving specific rewards or punishments for actions of any particular type
We’re all victims and perpetrators unless we can maintain the disincentive of a general expectation of shunning for the use of generative algorithms to create media for wider audiences
That doesn’t mean that verifying something was made by humans will remain a trivial endeavor, but it is my opinion that human made media has some purpose behind its creation that at least seemed worthwhile enough to have remained in existence somewhere in someone’s mind long enough for them to have followed through on creating each piece and the entirety of a particular piece. Not as much on a whim or as an artifact of some less meaningful/tangible/palpable process of experimentation to game certain feedback mechanisms or to maximize some undisclosed score
We could just block Chippy.. but then our ability to see through BS ragebait might atrophy over time… I think that maybe some of the motivation for these types of oversimplified ragebait posts is to promote cognitive or perhaps even spiritual resilience toward the presence of epitomized cliches or statements involving weaponized ignorance.
Either that or they just like watching people fight and enjoy the bits of attention they receive along the way towards the eventual resignation or defeat of some otherwise unsuspecting, not otherwise nefarious party who has just not been honing their practice of the art of ignoring people who demonstrate no willingness to engage in any constructive way in discussions with others
I think that your sentiment about “fat” people is true about 80-90% of the time around the world. Though I have heard that some places literally have “food deserts” in which supermarkets don’t really exist, or the ones that do might not stock healthy options. And in other situations some folks might only be able to afford (financially or executive-functionally) unhealthier options that might either take less time to select or prepare, or cost less money or driving time to procure. I think that’s probably where the downvote is coming from is people who feel unable to escape obesity due to a variety of limiting factors in their day-to-day lives which inhibit them from taking preliminary steps. not to say that going on a walk or taking the extra effort is not within their control, but that some people still struggle with it anyways, sometimes for reasons that seem counterintuitive or like that they should not be a real issue to deal with in practice but wind up being so anyways for some people who have never learned ways around the problems (or haven’t tried all or perhaps any of the different options yet) that they are dealing with.
there have also been decades-long propaganda campaigns by various lobbying groups to sow misinformation about dietary recommendations which leave me a bit more sympathetic to people who fall for the promises of various fad diets which sometimes go around in certain populations, (keto, paleo, plant-based [for health {separate in my perspective from people who legitimately decide for themselves to go “vegan for the animals”}] , fasting schedules [again for health reasons, I know religious fasting also to have a different meaning and origination of intention/purpose for lots of people], etc.)
I think it might come down to some kind of internalized power trip of perceived desirability (to other women perhaps, or maybe their parents or something) by women or girls who promote or attach themselves to those types of toxic notions. It’s like a toned down version of people obsessing over boob size, penis size, butt size, facial shape, hair/skin/nails etc. It’s like there’s no end for some people who go down that route of wanting to be perceived of as perfect in all ways at all times to all people.
It does suck how many people fall into those types of frameworks though. To me it has sometimes felt like, to varying degrees, that my drive to make connections, relate to others, procreate (thanks nature), or seek vindication through others are often at odds with themselves, and that valuing someone for their virtues is not always a typical mode of behavior that people are generally taught to recognize the usefulness of or learn to practice in their own relationships.
I never know what to say when people comment on my height. I try to not be too judgmental of people for their appearances or abilities based upon first impressions, though I also haven’t found many good ways of helping others overcome the trauma of having to deal with numerous people who all seem to operate under limited presumptions about life, power, influence, or imposition of values in an attempt to “universalize” their preferences, adversities, or assessments they have made that often are akin to some type of “root-cause-analysis” statements for determining the motivations for the behaviors of others in their lives.
ok fair enough. i’ve come around to seeing that they way Chippy had initially phrased the gripe had come across as not only transphobic but dementophobic, autism-phobic (didn’t learn this word yet), “predator”-phobic (I think this is a widespread phenomenon for valid seeming reasons), and lolcow(I don’t think I will even look this one up tbh)-phobic as well (by the nature of the implications of choosing to include such descriptors in the first place). I’m just sorry that I had come across as so combative while working to improve my language interpretation skills and conflict avoidance strategies for future discussions with people who have perspectives which seem to not be reconciling with each other on their own.
Seriously thank you anyways for taking the time to keep replying even though you feel that for some reason because I have trouble understanding gender identity that would mean that I also assuredly want to “drill baby drill” (for oil) or enforce the killing of babies or disenfranchisement of mothers at risk of losing their children for medical (or other) complications through the use of the violent rules of backwards laws [or support the use of AI for writing, researching, or creating related tasks, for that matter]. I think it might be a bit worthwhile for each of us to continue opening our minds up to new levels of deficiency or ignorance and to continue working with the tools we are capable of
accessing and taking ownership of, to help those around us who seem to be explicitly intending or promoting harmful or otherwise shortsighted actions or beliefs which could hold back the development and rebalancing of the systems of nature we depend on throughout our world as well as the internal drives and doubts which shape our subconscious perspectives or intuitions.

my guess is it’s a step below calling someone “room temperature” in reference to their perceived IQ
FYI I have never seen this before, but when opening this in Duck Duck Go (for me, on iOS) it says there’s “no compatible source found” for the media
A background loaded though, along with an “X” in the middle of the screen

Autonomous weapons go brrr
I’m partial to strawberry jelly over grape in most contexts, though I only ever had the strawberry one of those
They aight but I have also never had one heated up

Shower for an hour, or until you feel the power. Clean means I’m mean; there’s no problems with my spleen.
someday we’ll all “get wrecked” in one way or another
the struggles matter less than what we choose to make of them

crass, but also transparently so, which is why they are less effective as ragebait
