hate it when there's something I don't understand and would like to know more, but I feel like asking will just end up with people mad at me for my stupidity.

Not that I think most people will descend this far into the weeds before recoiling with horror, but it's conspicuous how uninterested the admin or its defenders are in furnishing the first bit of firm evidence that these were drug runners at all. Those who needed Jesus' healing were self-evident!

it is indeed very cool how the usual suspects view anything other than some imagined maximalist ideal as hatred and betrayal
It just makes me angrier at all the idiots on here & elsewhere who routinely say shit like "Democrats hate trans people" and "Democrats just want to throw trans people under the bus." Just despicable fucking lies.

yeah, what you'd call the ontological category of "slop" did not somehow spring into being ex nihilo from the technological specifics of generative AI. People have been plagiarizing and/or producing garbage since forever! But AI made it MUCH more frictionless, and that is new & worse
i think a lot of people think of "slop" as following from the next-token prediction nature of how generative AI works, but i sort of think that the "slop"-ish qualities of genAI output can be chalked up way more to RLHF

maybe given the current political situation, finding things about which to say “the president has a point” is not only not a good look but actively bad and fucked up? Maybe maybe resist the impulse to say “well I agree with this chump” and find something else to talk about instead?

This is an amusing thought, but if we are being careful about the details of what our chosen imagery implies (which seems to be this poster's concern) then doesn't this imply we should employ a hands-off approach and the rich will take themselves out? Which, uh, not sure bout that

Yeah, this is the thing: I am more willing than some to attempt to charitably educate people with Reasonable Concerns, but the thing about those concerns is that they are only ever Reasonable because of genuine ignorance and, when furnished with the appropriate info, should Reasonably Go Away

Unlike most vaccine-preventable diseases, hepatitis B is asymptomatic and spreads silently until infected people develop liver cancer or cirrhosis in their midlife. It’s one of the cancers with the highest mortality in the U.S with a 6 month life expectancy.

the thing is that nascar drivers, for instance, try to wring every tiny little edge out of their cars and I think most of them could avoid being taken by a suggestion that they remove their car's engine and replace it with a power plant based on pyramid energy
the unfortunate thing about professional athletes is that they have spent their lives trying to wring every tiny little edge out of their bodies and this makes them extremely susceptible to medical quackery, which is currently having a renaissance
