I just don't care about a problem that impacts celebrities only

And neither should anyone

Haven't there been multiple examples in this topic of non-celebrities losing checkmarks?

It was conservatives being mad about nothing as per usual

Yet now they're all "omg people are upset over a fucking checkmark"

Again, people dont understand the geopolitical effects this will have. Its not only about celebrities. I already linked to a tweet that reported on this incident in Sudan.

Interesting you should say that about Facebook. There's a local business that has both and only updates their Twitter with the next days special

People that think twitter is all bad and needs to go has no idea how much Twitter has helped small businesses promote themselves

Well I guess all those mom and pops better start allocating for their Twitter Blue budget, then, because I care more about sticking it to smug lefty celebrities than I do logical sense or saving myself money. I'm a rabid fan of the richest man in the world and completely lack the self-awareness to be ashamed of debasing myself for a memelord who offends people that other rich people claim to support

This is actually a good comeback. Celebrities are very out-of-touch on this, no one has any sympathy for them.

If everybody started being charged $10/month to access GameFAQs, would you be mad if a rich person took issue with that? Because they can afford it and everyone has to pay? Why is it something that has to cost money now?

Nope. AI is not sentient and isn't even consuming art like a real person. It cannot actually be subjective and feel emotions from what it is seeing, hearing, feeling.

Opinion has multiple meanings. A scientific opinion is not the same as "How did you feel about that movie you watched?"

What about Waco and Ruby Ridge?

Did they shoot at the government? No one is saying that state employees shouldn't be able to exercise self-defense or protection of others in a deadly situation.

Now's my chance to pay $8/month to impersonate a famous person online!

Capitalism has been ruining the Internet for decades.

Well yeah, AI can't have opinions. But the people that want reviews to just be a list of features and bugs with little editorialization might be in for a treat

ChatGPT showed up and people already are scared of AI becoming sentient. It's goofy.

If someone regurgitates right wing talking points and conspiracies all the time, I don't really give a fuck who they vote for. Either way they're being a useful tool for the hate machine to keep spreading misinformation and hysteria. That, to me, is the essence of a right winger.

Looks like they're on the precipice of completely taking over the country if a just a few things go wrong

I heard Coca-Cola has a report on the origins of COVID out

joe40001 posted...

The first post does not contain any statements from myself, only one from the report itself. Its research and conclusions seem to be in keeping with both the FBI's and DoE conclusions. And it explores the pros and cons of all the most likely origins. (Page 14 of the summary).

I believe such information is relevant to "Current Events". And while I acknowledge that the lab leak as truth is not something we know at this time, even Fauci has acknowledged it as a possibility, and other agencies have acknowledged is as their most likely possibility. So sharing a very detailed investigation into all the origins (that explores all possibilities) is something that I believe could not reasonably be called misinformation but part of the relevant public discourse.

Someone should write a 300 page report on how it's plausible that the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

A conspiracy theorist in Congress should submit a report on how it's possible aliens hiding behind the sun invade us tomorrow morning.

Shut the fuck up. The mods really dropped the ball not banning you when you octupled down on FUCKING IVERMECTIN. All you learned in your time away was to post bullshit, but stop caring when everyone calls you out. You don't care about a single person who died of COVID when you spent years pushing the same nonsense that killed them all.

You should, but they don't. The current narrative is current lab and research procedures everywhere are sufficient. And even on the moderate or more probability that this leaked from a lab, it would seem that those procedures are decidedly insufficient. If there are no consequences and reforms due to this horrible tragedy, then it can very easily happen again.

I'm not singling out China, literally anywhere who is doing the kind of research needs to be audited for risks and safety. What happened and every person and decision that allowed it to happen needs to be investigated and likely prosecuted. I don't want to be a "big meanie" here, but if your decisions even accidentally played a big part in causing the deaths of 15 million people, you should probably lose your job and go to prison. People go to prison over involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment for much less.

Understanding the exact truth of what happened, and shining a major spotlight on it is going to do so much more to help us in the future than just going "meh, whatever the true origin is doesn't really matter". And I believe you know that.

If you knew somebody who was died from a mechanical failure in their car would you really go "meh, whatever, I'm sure car companies are doing their best to be safe"? Or would you want it investigated?

Now take that and multiply it by 15 million.

I'm sorry, but frankly I find it near asinine to act like the investigation, prosecution, and spotlighting of the true origins of COVID-19 would do nothing to prevent the risk of it happening again in the future. It absolutely would, and I have to believe you must know this.

You are bordering on "why investigate any death's origin's?" logic, which is obviously absurd. You investigate it so you know the truth, so you can create consequences and changes that will make it less likely to happen again. If you give everybody involved in this a free pass you are doing a grave disservice to humanity as a whole.

If you cared about the truth, you would have shut the fuck up about ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine instead of spewing bullshit for literal years. That personally offended me and I was fortunate to not have seen your face around here for a while.

And things will only get worse. The next pandemic will slaughter whatever people are still allowed to have human rights by then. We learned less than zero from COVID.

Id say 15 million fellow dead humans would say its important to know how this happened and what we can do to prevent this again.

The answer to the latter is: Jack shit because barely anyone in power really cares and regular people lost their shit and turned into animals almost instantly.

COVID-19 showed that we are utterly fucked as a country and a species.

So all the major governments of the world are going to hold themselves accountable for killing 15 million people? LOL good luck with that. Because even if it is a lab leak, that alone didn't kill 15 million people.

People who fake these things definitely exist (and it's not always the person themself; especially in children it's often the parents / caregivers), but they're the minority compared to those who legitimately have such conditions, and "they're faking it" should never be the default assumption.

It's the same mentality a lot of people take with sexual abuse accusations. It's really fucked up and I honestly blame the people who think this way more than the small minority of fakers that "give the legitimate people a bad name".

Better take your victory lap before you inevitably get suspended again for some nonsense post you quadruple down on.

Ive only seen this neurodivergent term mentioned online and mostly by obnoxious people on Twitter or Tik Tok who make their mental illness or their supposed mental Illness a central part of their identity.

It defines my entire identity. Every fiber of my personality and my belief system is impacted by my brain. Next time consider shutting the fuck up instead of smugly stating how you know nothing, yet are somehow the expert.

If yall dont think this doesnt happen with mental health diagnoses, cmon. I think its becoming more and more common, personally.

I didn't magically become ADHD when a doctor recognized it and named it, it was ALWAYS there and I was lost and suffering because trusted adults told me it wasn't and any symptoms were my own fault for not trying hard enough to be normal.

This was me with my autism diagnosis and I still can't be help but be a little resentful about it even many years removed from being a kid. Going undiagnosed fucked my entire childhood

I'm very fortunate to have gotten a formal autism diagnosis. As others have said, not everyone has the privilege to get formal diagnoses. Heck, it's gonna become literally impossible for some people as America continues to crumble.

I hear more using "autistic" as a replacement for the r-word than I do anyone calling themselves "neurodivergent" who isn't.

Bolded the part that gives it away so you don't have to search through all 2 words.

Some Gamers don't think you have a right to an opinion on a game if you don't beat it on ultra-hardcore in half the average playtime. It's like saying you have to score a 300 to claim bowling is fun.

I could not give less of a fuck what difficulty people play games on.

I beat it on normal and I don't know if I'd want to go harder
