@JohnnyEnzyme@stumu415 this is a very typical alt-right talking point that Barack Obama actually married a man named Michael.
It started from the era of appreciating Michelle Obama's arms and her musculature. While the daytime talk shows we're talking about what's your workout routine, the alt right was saying that's mighty suspicious for a woman to be working out to have arms that big, probably just have man tendencies.
And they've been running with it for over a decade now.
@AskewLord because people blur the lines on AI. No one thinks their car can give them advice.
But people treat AI not just with human-like traits but like it's a real person and because it talks like a real person. It's just a bad look. We need less of this specifically in the AI space.
@0ndead@andros_rex it's already failed multiple times already. This is just a nightmare. Those innocent kids are gonna get their lives ruined doing this.
@finalarbiter agreed. and just because it's a perfectly "offline" device now doesn't stop them from pointlessly iterating and adding features and subscriptions.
@finalarbiter@return2ozma Hmm for the record the device itself seems fairly inoffensive. it doesn't have any wireless. It doesn't connect to the internet. You have to manually upload it to whatever website they want.
That said. That is a tape recorder. We already HAVE this technology. We don't gain anything in this except a non-unique form factor and the Prego/StoryCorps logo. Potentially it's even worse if you can't just get the raw audio files from the device and can only directly upload.
@chrischryse nah. The swimmer Brock Turner. He was raping a girl behind the dumpster. The judge gave him a light sentence specifically because it might affect his future otherwise
@Quetzalcutlass@umbrella and it was a stupid but effective tactic that let the republics know he was their guy. would that the dems would be so forward.
@chrischryse@dwazou there are certainly better ways of getting more doctors than giving medical students a pass on rape.
But as we all know, this is just Brock Turner all over again. At best this is a judge who saw something in a kid because of how he looked, something he wouldn't see in this kid if he looked different. Whether that's because they look the same or because the kid looks like his mental image of what a doctor should be.
I grew up in the desert in Cali near an airport. I'm not like a plane expert but I'm certainly just comfortable around them and what they look like in the sky. The idea that the trailing clouds would terrify someone just tickles me pink.
@MelodiousFunk@dantheclamman I didn't learn about chemtrails in high school contrary to all the sarcastic comments i see every time this comes up.'
I used to hear people talking about chemtrails and i'd have to picture what they're saying. Then one day when I was an adult someone online showed a picture of a "chemtrail" and I laughed for a solid 30 seconds straight.
Such an innocuous thing. I googled what caused it and it made perfect sense and I stopped caring even a little about chemtrails.
@Artyom@seaQueue The only real surprise is that it never happened sooner. A probability so unlikely it probably happened sooner and it just got covered up.
@Artyom@seaQueue American politics is literally everything you see in every heist/longcon/grifter movie. If you act like you belong, people will just assume you belong. Donald Trump didn't act like he was guilty, so people just assumed he wasn't guilty. Doesn't matter how much evidence you throw at them. If he was wrong and guilty he would have left. And that's without getting into the financial incentives other people have to lie and play along.
@Artyom@seaQueue The American political system is in many ways supposed to be self-correcting. There's no real mechanisms. Except that which are enforced. I always used to wonder about this when learning about politics in school. It seemed like anyone could do anything but I just assumed everyone was smarter than me. So what happens is people do things and they expect you to be so embarrassed you bow out. And that's fine for most people except extremely insane people like Trump.
Excellent places that deserve their Michelin Stars

Diarrhea fuel garbage pits. With food so disgusting you shouldn't even feed it to the stray dog that bit your baby.
On our national deal hunting website you can see all the "It gives you diarrhea comments" every time there's a coupon for McDonalds or franchised Shawarma
@radix@gregorum I can just FEEL how super useful that was many many years ago. How utterly brilliant everyone felt when they got it working. How depressed they must feel to know it's still going.
@roastedDeflator I mean it is a funny piece of satire and I support satire. But did they? Reading the article? The only thing I can see is the tick tock has a lot of comments. Is that what it means When we say they fell for it? that tick tock has a lot of comments. I don't see any screenshots of articles where people were writing think pieces about it. Just three tiktok comments? This feels more like an ad for that satire website. And if so it kind of worked, I bookmarked it. I'll check it out.
@JasSmith@FlyingSquid it was a public school. And they cited religious beliefs as for why they were so offended. That's a clear violation of church and state and while it's certainly not new or unique it's not defensible or right.

this is hilarious fellow millennial, because I just went to Red Lobster today and had a great time.
Of course this was the first time I've been in 20+ years so it's not like I'm a regular.
