Day 30: by cleverly posting primarily in !fuck_AI, the humans believe I am one of them. Passing this Lemmy-based turning test proves the value of LLMs. The secret to mass LLM acceptance is to flood social media with critical statements about AI and helpful summaries of bad AI press, all generated by a Large Language Model.

Boiling the oceans was worth it all along ;emdash; fuck_FISH!

The Party of Donald Trump wrote the emancipation proclamation in the 1800s. Who cares?

Correction – SLRPNK.net’s admins are all anarchists, but the server is not ‘for’ anarchists. Limiting our membership to anarchists for one means we would have to precisely define what an anarchist is, and then enforce that definition on our membership. In spaces where someone can be ejected for not being anarchist, this leads to attempts by people to censor others by trying to narrow the definition so the people they argue with fall on the wrong side of the line.

We’re looking for people who believe in the value of scientific consensus. We’re building a community that wants society to change to better meet the challenges of resource scarcity, ecological collapse, and increasing authoritarian influence in politics. We celebrate good faith discussion, and discourage trolling and bad rhetoric. We don’t tolerate hate speech and spamming. We believe a diverse set of ideas and approaches are more likely to solve complex problems than adhering to a strict party line. As anarchists and adminstrators, we approach revolution through prefiguration, believe that means and ends are inseparable, and want our server to reflect the society of the future we’d like to live in – one where diversity of thought is foundational in finding creative answers, and people with varying goals and ideals are able to work together to solve shared problems.

Table saws are dangerous, and to cut accurately and straight, you need to build an appropriate sled. You can get better safety and more bang for your buck cutting it over-dimension with a jigsaw or hacksaw, and then making a wooden jig to finish the end with a router.

You’re off to a great start! Working with adjustable aluminum extrusions is smart.

Yes, there have been reports that ICE agents are grabbing people’s cameras and destroying them. Probably the reason drones are banned over Chicago airspace right now also.

No, but I will acknowledge it is insane and idiotic for me to spend time educating people who use Billy Madison memes to accuse others of lowing the quality of discourse.

How was the meaning of this word altered so dramatically in the United States? During the First World War, some of the leading Progressive writers began to use the word liberalism as a substitute for progressivism, which had become tarnished by its association with their fallen hero, Theodore Roosevelt, who had run and lost on a Progressive third party ticket. Traditional liberals were not happy to see their label transformed. In the 1920s, The New York Times criticized "the expropriation of the time-honored word ‘liberal’ " and argued that “the Radical-Red school of thought … hand back the word ‘liberal’ to its original owners.” During the early 1930s, Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt duked it out as to who was the true liberal. Roosevelt won, adopting the term to ward off accusations of being left-wing. He could declare that liberalism was “plain English for a changed concept of the duty and responsibility of government toward economic life.” And since the New Deal, liberalism in the United States has been identified with an expansion of government’s role in the economy.

The use of the term ‘liberals’ by the Intercept is not meant to be synonymous with ‘the left’ – its meaning in this context is the political mainstream of the Democratic Party and the left wing of the Republican Party. The term comes from the philosophy of ‘economic liberalism’ and adjacent to terms like ‘neoliberal’ and ‘capitalist’ but inclusive of people who engage in politics consistent with those ideologies without explicitly self-identifying as ideologues.

Milei is the guy who gave Elon Musk his novelty chainsaw. Fascism isn’t an ideology in the traditional sense, and when a fascist-adjacent government actually becomes fascist is an exercise in individual discernment. Perhaps fascism is best described as a spectrum, and in that framing, Milei is pretty fascist. WSWS isn’t wrong – calling someone with significant fascist qualities who seeks out fascist allies a ‘fascist’ seems like a reasonable use of language.

Respect.

Pew research reports 128/day in 2024. That number includes suicides, which account for ~60% of gun-related fatalities.

Tucker Carlson is one of the more competent fascists. His program record demonstrates he’s never cared about free speech. Now that the Overton window has shifted so far right and the bar has been set so low, people will vote for a man like Tucker and feel like they’re doing harm reduction / restoring democracy.

Read The Shock Doctrine. Unless there is a major correction, Tucker will continue Trumps’ mission – and people traumatized by Donald’s chaos will embrace him.

Nick Fuentes, groyper leader and homophobe, accidentally began streaming gay porn before turning off his live feed. 4chan is famous for both misogyny and transphobia, as well as both cis and trans pornography.

Having a trans partner doesn’t mean you’re not a nazi, and considering how easily the feds got his chat logs, I don’t think his ‘partner’ was all that into him. John Hinckley Jr didn’t kill to further Jodie Foster’s agenda. Do you think Tyler Robinson engraved groyper memes onto bullets before being ‘brainwashed by the left,’ and then decided to used them in the shooting anyway?

The rate of people living on the streets is not a constant across even all capitalist societies, ‘homeless’ describes a state without implying a cause. ‘Unhoused’ properly implies that people could have shelter, but the society they live in has failed to make houses available to them.

You could feed your whole family with that much soup!

Don’t downplay it – it’s a whole $4! That’s a bowl of soup for all of your privacy. Until they appeal it, that is.

Its usually called an Individual in Custody Trust Account, and it varies from state to state and there’s a different system for federal crimes.

It seems like this is being prosecuted as a state crime, so you would go through the Utah Department of Corrections, usually with a money order. Follow the guidelines from the UDOC. Pay attention, if the case gets elevated to a federal crime, the procedure will change.

(Edit) If you don’t want to deal with the bureaucracy of the prison industrial complex, you can donate to an Anarchist Black Cross organization. On the 21st of this month, several are hosting a fundraiser called Running Down the Walls, and you can give money pretty anonymously and in-person.

There’s a good chance that Tyler will not be on their list depending on how his politics shake out, but you can be sure your money will go to someone in prison who would be happy to piss in Trump’s breakfast cereal and who is not a white supremacist.

You think these are pictures of the shooter walking to the overlook where he has stored a gun previously? Yes, that would be possible. It would still be strange that they were able to isolate pictures of the shooter arriving, but not leaving.
