The biggest tragedy about everyone on the left using pedophile as a dog whistle is that it actually directly harms children in my opinion. Pedophelia is a mental disorder, and just because someone is a pedophile doesn’t mean they have ever or will ever harm a child or anyone else for that matter.

The problem with everybody using the word pedo and creating such a hateful and negative reaction to that word instead of the more proper term of child sex offender or child rapist, is it directly results in pedophiles who want to get mental health help to ensure they never hurt a child, never will and they will just keep it quiet because their entire life will be destroyed if they try to get professional help.

Of course, everybody is always responsible for their actions, but all of you using the word pedo in such a negative and catch-all way directly results in children being harmed.

You all need to use better terminology, like rapist or child sex abuser, not using a real DSM-5 mental disorder to vilify.

I won’t compare it directly to any other mental disorders because I will get a significant amount of hate, but imagine picking any other DSM-5 disorder and using it as a catch-all to vilify, it would be unpopular.

I find it very hard to believe that that username would be available on Steam even in 2018 or whenever he made the account, unless you just mean the username that you can change to anything and not the actual login username associated with an account and profile

What do you mean without any groups to go after? Obviously they’re gonna take down the terrorist cells that caused this by the name of Discord and Steam.

Yes, LLMs, or what people call AI, are absolutely manipulated easily. Just the way you phrase your question can steer it to answer in a particular way. I haven’t been on Twitter in a long time, but I hopped on yesterday and today to check out all of the Kirk memes.

I saw so many comments from people both happy and upset with Kirk dying, that were asking questions in manipulative ways (to the llm) to try and get the response from grok they want.

LLMs are indeed horrible for live or recent events, and more importantly horrible for anything that is super important to not get wrong.

Don’t get me wrong I personally find llms useful and I use open source models occasionally for tasks they are better at, for me typically that means reformatting or compiling shorter notes from documents. Nothing super critical.

Yea if you aren’t use to graphic content don’t watch it, although it isn’t all that graphic IMO. There’s a lot of blood for a second, that’s it. I am sorta desensitized to horrific violence like this though.

And you are watching someone die, so that in itself could be graphic to you no matter how little gore there is, but Charlie Kirk himself said empathy is a weakness, so I have zero empathy for him and can watch him die with no pain or sympathy in my heart. Truly you reap what you sow shit head

Bro, somebody who did a shot this good has to be experienced with weapons. They fucking took into account bullet drop. Maybe they didn’t take enough into account, but they had to have taken into account

Honestly, super curious about who the person is if they ever do end up catching a real suspect.

I don’t like how people continue to use pepe to signify the right, I have literally never seen someone use pepe as a right wing hate symbol or whatever the fuck and even if they do I don’t give a shit, pepe did nothing wrong.

“(Pepe) he currently remains one of the most popular memes in the world”

Free Pepe! The most popular meme in the world is not a hate symbol unless you want it to be one, and I say it defintely isn’t.

“In an interview with Esquire, Furie (creator of pepe) said of Pepe’s usage as a hate symbol, “It sucks, but I can’t control it more than anyone can control frogs on the Internet”.[39] Fantagraphics Books, Furie’s publisher, issued a statement condemning the “illegal and repulsive appropriations of the character”.[40] The Anti-Defamation League, an American organization opposed to antisemitism, included Pepe in its hate symbol database but wrote that most instances of Pepe were not used in a hate-related context.” - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog

Just block his name, I have trump and Elon and varations of their names black listed so posts with them don’t show up on my feed.

“JUST $10.28/YEAR - WOW!!” Laughed out loud at that, and I’ll have to give this a look. Currently I just use nginx and duckdns to expose my home IP for my self hosted stuff.

In America, cars are the only effective method of transportation for 98% of the population. Is that ideal? No. Is that reality? Yes.

I’m all for advocating for mass transportation but right now, and for 50 years minimum (best case scenario, completely made up) cars will continue to be necessary for the majority of Americans.

Local media streaming Is the appeal?

Now if you’re asking why use Plex vs Jellyfin, for me jellyfin has more issues with high bitrate 4K HDR content and subtitles for my situation.

I don’t know why you’re getting disliked, it’s straight facts. And you weren’t even mean!

While I’m sure that was part of it, a lot of people didn’t vote for other reasons as well. Someone I know who you would probably consider “left” didn’t vote at all because of Harris supporting Israel (I’m aware trump is worse for Palestinians), and I know a bunch of other people I’ve spoken to online also didn’t vote at all for the same reason.

Plus I suspect a lot of other previous Biden voters didn’t vote at all for similar reasons, like possibly all party’s are owned by the rich.

Bottom line, a class war is needed to get the rich in check.

Good advice. I was very addicted to soda when I was a younger teenager and grew out of it and replaced it with unsweetened coffee and tea.

I don’t think there was ever any solid proof Ross tried to do that.

You think too much of the average brainrotter

I think a lot of people have problems with the Democratic Party being bought by the billionaires as well …and supporting genocidal regimes.

I voted for Harris but you boiled it down to a few lines and missed a lot of reasons why I think a significant amount of Americans didn’t vote at all.
