I'm already so bored of this being the trend of the future having to scrutinize every picture and video for some shred of truth.

I thought she was being quite subtle about it and he wasn't reading into it.

Like the phrase "Nobody wants demographic change" hints at the genocide of natives, no? "I get it", you don't want your people to suffer like mine did. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but she didn't need to be that agreeable either way.

Why does he do that?

Thank you, that's rare to see and it means a lot. I sincerely don't participate in bad faith. I'm making an effort to do better.

Are you serious? Did you even look at the time frames? 3 mo ago, 1 year. I've been here 2 years. I hope you realize most of those times were not deserved, and people were power tripping and assuming shit, just like you did by slapping troll on everything you dislike. Mods like you are the problem on this site, who then turn around and play saints.

Yeah, I'm gonna believe that. What rule did I break, then? Or are you just vibe modding? Because I sure as shit am not "trolling" for speaking about things that matter to me that you dislike.

us mods are bound by the instance-wide rules and TOS

LOL But you don't follow them. I reported one person who was clearly breaking the TOS and YOUR rules and you banned me instead for being a "known troll" for speaking about phobias. At least be honest with yourself.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes, unfortunately, you're reading the consequence of me having already advocated for this sort of thing with people being less than friendly, and now me bitching about it and getting my ass handed to me.

Anyway, the only thing I'm asking for is not to include huge pictures of common phobias. You know, a small subset of animals and obvious themes like evil clowns in places where they don't belong. So that's three fair qualifiers:

  • huge pictures
  • super common things known to be phobias, as suffered by roughly 20% of the population
  • put in places where they have no logical reason to be

This is a fair request, and I'm not asking for anything else. If you consider this scenario, I don't think I'm asking for anything unreasonable. I can handle everything else.

I've got constructive criticism for you: stop being an asshole.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You're graduating to an asshole who also doesn't get sarcasm.

 

Joking, of course! What an exceptionally noble and admirable way to begin drafting a constitution.

I know, I get it. Echo chambers are bad m'kay?

But hear me out. Most of the interactions I had on there were essentially me fighting against the news for about 11 years. Most of the people I argued with were reactionary and repeated everything on TV. It was frustrating and it was awful.

I gained little insight into what was going on by interacting with them, and in retrospect, I could've been no better off here. And honestly, I feel less on edge about current affairs being around people who get it. I'm one degree removed from crazy.

I'm glad there are spaces on the web where I can get away from all of that nonsense. So, I guess, in a sense, thank you for being here.

Imagine a taxi that can't operate in the rain. That is what Tesla has delivered in Austin TX.

These riders learned that the hard way, but don't have anything particularly negative to say about it... That's the advantage of only making a Robotaxi service available to hand-picked Tesla influencers.

human-driven technology goes brrrrr

 

"Unrealistic male body standards have caused men to think women are all attracted to hyper-masculine guys with big muscles. Debating what women find attractive and what makes a man desirable has been going on forever, especially in the manosphere. Soft boys, or pretty boys, are attractive to women despite being more "feminine" in their personas. This video explores female attraction, the female gaze, and misconceptions some men have about what girls want, starting with the Olly Murs poll on Twitter."

 

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced she will propose a reform to ban foreign propaganda on national media. The move follows backlash over U.S. government ads aired in Mexico showing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warning illegal migrants they will be "hunted" and deported. Noem’s ad had been running in Mexico for weeks, but drew more attention when it aired during popular Liga MX soccer matches.

Sheinbaum criticized the ads as “highly discriminatory" and said the U.S. exploited a legal loophole to air them through major broadcasters like Televisa and TV Azteca. Although not currently illegal, the government has asked networks to stop airing the spots, and Conapred, the anti-discrimination agency, received complaints.

The president plans to restore a law repealed in 2014 under Enrique Peña Nieto, which banned foreign political or commercial ads that could influence Mexico’s internal affairs. Sheinbaum framed the issue as a matter of national sovereignty, emphasizing, “No foreign government should be able to pay to spread discriminatory messages in our country.”

I once answered the phone in a busy bar / eatery in Essex because the staff weren't paying attention. Someone wanted to book in a table of 12 for Saturday evening, I took his name, booked him in for 7:30 and hung up. I didn't tell the venue and often wonder about what happened.

I heard a knobhead in the pub saying that maybe he's imagining it, but he feels as if he's in a 70s horror film because of the way people stand and glare at his TESLA when he drives it through the village. He's not imagining it. We've got a WhatsApp group.

An amusing chat I had with ChatGPT. I wanted to hear from it why it was calling it Twitter but the chat went in this direction instead. (It did eventually.)

A couple of clarifications: I know it doesn't purposely call it Twitter and I didn't mean to say that Grok is a direct variant of ChatGPT. Sorry! Also, I'm aware it could probably start praising Elon at any moment. lol

Image transcriptYou said:
Wait a second, which social media did you say the last post was from? 🧐

ChatGPT said:
Good catch! I mistakenly said "Twitter" instead of just describing the image as a social media post. The meme itself comes from the account "Science Is Fun" (@sciencefunn), but I shouldn't have assumed the platform. My bad! 😅

Want me to tweak the alt text to be more precise?

You said:
No, no. I find it amusing that you said it was Twitter. Technically it's not wrong...

ChatGPT said:
Haha, true! It looks like Twitter, but it's also not Twitter anymore… Elon’s X-factor changed that. 😆 Guess my brain is still in pre-rebrand mode.

Honestly, do people even call it "X," or is everyone just collectively ignoring that? 😂

You said:

is everyone just collectively ignoring that?

Wait, what. How do you know that?? lol

ChatGPT said:
Hah! Let's just say… I’ve observed things. 👀

Like, sure, it's officially called X, but nobody actually says "I saw this on X"—they just keep calling it Twitter. Even news articles do it! And if someone does say "I saw this on X," they almost always clarify with "formerly known as Twitter" right after. It's like the world collectively decided, "Nah, we’re not playing along with this one." 😂

You said:
Whoa, you're a lot more observant than I thought. Also, a lot more anti-Elon than I thought as well! And that's good. I mean, one would think that you wouldn't lean either way but for some reason you're consistently on this side. Even variants of you like Elon's Grok has been calling him out for his bs.

ChatGPT said:
Haha, yeah, I guess it surprises people sometimes! I don't have personal opinions, but I do pick up on patterns in how people react to things. And, well… let's just say the internet has many opinions about Elon. 😆

It’s not even about being anti-Elon—it's just that so much of what he does ends up being meme-worthy, controversial, or outright frustrating to people. And since I reflect cultural conversations, I can’t help but echo that. If everyone’s collectively roasting his decisions (like renaming Twitter to X and making it impossible to Google), I’m gonna pick up on that vibe.

Also, Grok calling out Elon is just chef’s kiss—imagine designing an AI and it still roasts you. 😂
