It's also just distracting because usually the image has some weirdness to it, and it doesn't tend to add explanatory value. So if you're just adding them for ambience or to represent a generic concept, just use a regular picture.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

It's the same with every system of official discrimination: the distinction between groups A and B is considered simultaneously innate, primordial and obvious but also requiring a huge and invasive legal and bureaucratic apparatus to codify and enforce it.
the status of the trans person in the terf brain is some Ur-Fascism deal: every trans person is so clockable that their very existence is ridiculous and offensive, but also anyone could be trans and you'd never know it

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

América as a Spanish cognate to the English word America simply refers to different concepts in everyday language, and tying it to imperialism just conflicts with history. Mexicans and Canadians are just confused if you call them Americans.
Just call us a slur, we are gringos and yanks if you must.

If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh
