Not nearly as much as my ancestors and people still face, caught between the great illumination of civilization as the “experiment” brought to those shores from beyond where the sun sleeps.
But please, do illuminate me and tell me where specifically, I patronized and in what fashion?
But should we define this country by the actions of terrible politicians?
For someone so clearly educated, your conceptual blindspot is… Interesting.
As you enjoy your aerial view of the forest and marvel at the patterns, take note not to mistake the antics of the little people with the Creator’s great spirit guidance.
I don’t think you can read. Work on that first. Literacy is the cornerstone of civilization, the white man told my people, before there was a Canada or an America, in these lands.
All true. None of which applies to me, the person who has no trouble seeing the forest, whose background and makeup you have no idea of.
Don’t pervert my comment with your diatribe, there’s a button to start your own chain, as our messages while not at cross purposes, are not the fucking same.
If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be busy continue to hope your country does the right fucking thing for once instead of taking more of my ancestors on starlight tours, and I’ll wave over from near across one of the fucking lakes.
I think you may have tapped on the wrong comment to reply to, and want Viking, the one reply below me.
They’re the one with a direct and clear answer to the question you’re posing to me.
But because I like irony, one of the answers is your context.
You literally wouldn’t be able to try to educate me on the historical connotations of the word and why its usage should rightfully be avoided in all possible cases, if your education was [removed].
I don’t know what possessed you to reply this to my specific comment or in what view you intend for it to be taken.
Are you saying the Canadian people walked as far into the same machine as they did but are smart enough to run out of the slaughterhouse at the sights and sounds of the cow ahead being slaughtered for…?
What are you saying?
FUCK GEN AI.
Alright, clear opening, I think I can follow this comment.
All of you here excusing it or saying "oh its not AI its the corporations can suck my left nut.
Uninterested in technical detail, and blaming corporations, with a request for left nut oral for any holding any views thereof, ok, still following your stance, very clear.
but I am an anarchist and I stand firmly against all forms of AI.
Sweet, the thesis statement.
The only ethical use is
Wait, what?
data sets pertaining to medical and research models
But we can’t talk about the technology that allows that, or it’s the left nut for us?
that are locally run.
So… non-corporate use is okay?
AI is a control tool and if you self host, IMO it reads to me like you want an info slave.
Well, yeah, I mean, we can call it an info daemon or something cooler, but yeah, for the control of the medical and the research datasets, yeah?
I’m very confused. Do I help you suck your own left nut or do I nuzzle the right one, comrade?
Oh Canada. The sooner you embrace the fact that there no longer is a U.S., and that you’re dealing with Oligarchy’s naked proxy, the better for everyone who cares and values anything approximating the interests of humanity in the rest of the continent.
She is 100% a foreign asset, heavily influencing the hegemon (can’t claim control over dementia though, and that’s all the schadenfreude we truly get).
Enabled by the simple act of being (insultingly) obviously molded for the role.
Which is leading the figurehead by the “little mushroom”, via superlatively praise ridden word and action.
And you know damn well that the coming of age thing means they roleplay some morally questionable shit during the theater rendition of the Aristocrats.
That’s why you included it on your list, so now you gotta think about it again for making me picture it.
You know how a narcissist parent expects their kids to thank them for everything, even them accomplishing basic milestones of growing up?
Yeah 🤢.
If you learn how to jiggle the keys to power, and jiggle them masterfully in a way previously unseen in history, essentially being the ultimate and most eponymously mythical of benevolent dictators…
Yea, it would. Until you die.
Then we’re back to the same paradigm. Because it’s the whole system itself that is a hodgepodge of both human nature and direct perversions thereof, and not inherently its outputs.
Which curiously enough, can also photosynthesize, and more readily absorb energy from green light than chlorophyll!
Makes me wonder what could be achieved with some careful engineering…
(no one’s going to even see those except me and who I’m talking to).
Untrue. Even one on one’s in a public medium, are public. Lurkers have every right to opine on takes as they see fit, reply or platform-granted reaction tools both. Whether they catch the comments fresh or later when you consider it a “dead thread”.
I personally do it all the time, upvote or downvote.
There’s only so many hours in a day and Fediverse content isn’t so plentiful that it makes sense to mark discussions that are still near the top of a comms feed as “dead” to me.
That’s before we even get into how easy it is to accidentally hit the buttons in a lot of Lemmy client apps.
Note: Source has a “soft” subscription wall (non-scripted element), FF reader mode enough to bypass.
It’s full of practical and common sense suggestions, for navigating the current legalities of the system and how to attempt to receive accountability, in the events described in the headline.
That is all I will say about it, directly. I will never personally use it.
As the one in my family most likely to be the initial target in the hypothetical scenario, I hadn’t considered my stance and position on the subject, should it not be me who is murdered by the…fuck, I don’t have energy for euphemisms anymore.
Personally, if I’m caught within that situation, new articles will have to be written about the events proceeeding, regardless of the actual outcomes.
Preservation letters? Family Captain? Canvass the neighborhood for un-tampered with evidence?
Yes, those are indeed tools, but I wouldn’t be using them as proscribed in that article.
A known to be a poorly designed intersection. Bike lanes that were removed years earlier over driver complaints. And an 87 year old driver, not under the influence of anything (except fucking time).
Just straight plowed through the victim from behind, because how else would it have gone with the fucking road design all throughout this wasteland?
There’s so many goddamn layers that shouldn’t have congealed into this goddamn system, responsible for this pointless death.
That’s just for Google’s AI summaries, but it’s the only one with actual methodology disclosed I could find on a quick (non-AI) search.
Plenty of SEO mills with their own “studies” too, and the trend is similar. People don’t interact with the source sites or if they do it’s extremely seldom.
They (SEO mills) are currently trying to flip the gaslight towards “Worry not dear Webmaster, now you just have to make sure your content is now formed so it’s engaging for AI search and engage able right from the AI!” type shit.
I’m tired boss, and I’m not even generally (as in, in all aspects) anti-AI. Yet, I guess.
Yeah.
There was a hidden asterisk on my “that’s fine and all”.
This comment carries no rebuttal to your point.
I just have better things to do with my day than invite commentary from .ml, generally speaking.
Ugga ugga big bonk is not something you build for.
You can, but such planning is clearly indicative of DEX thinking. All Bonk requires is the bravery to face your foes, and bonk them.
You simply start, grab the biggest, heaviest, most bonky bonk stick you are blessed with within 15 minutes of playing.
It will be there. The bonk is always there, waiting to be recognized.
You grab it and you pump your numbers into enough str to bonk really fucking hard with it.
You then go and bonk.
In the course of bonking, you learn you need to sustain a minimum amount of bonking yourself, in order to bonk the best you can bonk.
You then hold up three fingers, that is all you need. That is more syllables than ‘bonk’ has, so for every time you say bonk, you put a point in STR and another in VIT.
This continues until you feel you are no longer being bonked before your own bonking takes place.
Depending on how many syllables you think ‘bonk’ has as you were chanting it earlier, you will end up with roughly 1 VIT for every 3-4 STR.
That is all the thinking you need. Even other bonk sticks, while plentiful, are optional.
This is the current (and best imo) ‘retconned’ explanation. It’s been the one the series has kinda quietly operated under for a while, and when you have the rest of the tech in the plot play along with the paradigm, it works well.
I know Star Wars Outlaws got a lot of (deserved) flak, but the way the technology worked in the background of the setting was a master class in utilizing this paradigm.
Basically, the Wild West spirit has always been a part of SW. They literally operate under ‘The Pony Express’ rules as it comes to information dissemination, to spread the news out to all the disparate homesteads planets out in the big expansive praire space.
Same reason that the quintessential American expects a large fast food meal to still (they don’t anymore) map out to a huge portion of food.
Same reason Big Gulps are cheap.
And so it goes.
That’s what they (we) were sold.
Critical thinking involves listening and reasoning, when presented with external information. You literally hyper-lane focus on the 30% percent that is put before you, and then diagonal read into a 70% that isn’t there.
I am not selling you a religion, I am being poignant. There was a working system for civilization in place before the Dutch and the French came over, and the English came sniffing after them. A system that still can be adapted and scales up, but there’s this whole other thing in the way, with its epicenter in this continent.
Misunderstand my point all you want, at least you’re stumbling towards a better path instead of stumbling the other way, and that is enough.
