Yeah, lotta ideology there. Normally they leave it to the liberal institutions to police that implied boundary of how you are allowed to perceive conservatives if you disagree with them, but to state it outright from that side kinda gives the game away, and I doubt the writer even realizes it.

Very funny for that guy in particular to be the one suggesting it

The real issue is that the cat's out of the bag, there's no "ok we're just gonna scrap this whole AI thing and forget about it and then get to work undoing all the damage it did," we will just be dealing with an ever-increasing amount of ever-more-difficult to identify as fake content, forever.

Yeah the cultural impact of TRON seems to have appeared in some less-documented time between its release and the social media moment, because it was one of those movies that people "just kinda knew" when I was growing up.

I don't think Christians believe this, otherwise evangelism wouldn't be necessary? But I guess if you were just making a statement that is equally absurd, since I don't think many of the people who advocate trans rights believe the thing she said either.

I believe I grasped a deep truth about American society while on a road trip 2 years ago, when I saw a bumper sticker on a Jeep that was a Thin Pink Line Punisher Logo.

Most telling part is the "it can cause feelings in you," imo. They see the text generator machine as exactly as human as any other interaction with a person because other people were only ever ways for them to bounce their own consciousness back off of something else.

That's an incredibly similar font to the one they used for Armored Core 4

I think it takes a pretty low level of Ki to be essentially immune to firearms, we know from early in DBZ that guns barely register on the power-level scale, and Saiyans are naturally attuned to it from birth, so as long as he was prepared for it it makes sense guns would be basically harmless.

Like, sure, there are probably some very annoying left-sectarian takes out there about the Civil War, this is leftists we're talking about after all. But these guys are just writing fanfic.

We have to all lose it in the same way tho. Semi-related, who here has read Infinite Jest

aquaticIntrovert @aquaticintrovert.bsky.social · 24d

If you can find any other details about it then, sure, I will agree with you that it was indeed "cancel culture gone too far," this one single half-remembered instance of someone maybe facing too harsh of consequences, that was so inconsequential you can't even find their name.

aquaticIntrovert @aquaticintrovert.bsky.social · 24d

Who? Where? This is the vaguest thing I've ever heard and it sounds like you're half-remembering details about something that someone wanted you to think was a case of "cancel culture." Unless you have any proof that was actually *why* he was fired, or if this even happened, it feels pretty flimsy.

Like this is a level of "debate" that barely skates above Lois answering "9/11" to every question, just tossing out canned talking points with no regard to context, and we're supposed to all act like he was a towering intellectual of the conservative youth movement (that part may be true to be fair)

...because citing "black crime" is a magical gotcha that wins every argument with a liberal in the conservative imagination. The best response to his question there would be "what the fuck are you talking about, are you fucking stupid" but a bullet to the neck is a close 2nd.
