I saw someone on reddit complain about linking to a tweet because Twitter is a right-wing shithole, and someone replied "And reddit isn't?"

But then someone replied to that with "Seriously? Right-wingers don't plague Reddit."

Ahahahahaha users have negative self awareness

The literal only argument here is just "I don't have to use a bunch of Google tabs anymore because ChatGPT can lie to me all in one place!!" lmao

Like, the only way this works is if ChatGPT is literally always correct at all times (which will never be the case fundamentally), because otherwise it's even worse than the existing process of just using Google because it's just another step before you end up needing to do that anyway

This isn't even one of those "oh in the made-up future where ChatGPT is magically perfect, this will be useful, therefore we should support AI-bros right now so we can get there" types of things, this is just assuming that ChatGPT in its current form is somehow a good research tool which is just about the opposite of the case

God, passive language in news articles mentioning cops is so beyond parody at this point that I can't even tell what headlines mean anymore

Ah yes, many people have given you long and detailed explanations of the history and context, while you just shove your fingers in your ears and go "Russia is the schoolyard bully and Ukraine is the little nerdy kid who had enough and swung back!!"

But everyone here is totally just circlejerking, right? Clearly except you, the wise and learned historian 🤣

We're literally Canadian and yet my brother was just in here trying to sing the praises of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to me, I was trying really hard to not tell him to fuck right off

The fact that he's expecting me to be happy about people who are pro-genocide because of some token "progressive" promises (that probably won't even mean anything once elected) is infuriating, especially when those promises don't even affect us in particular

On a basic level, I'm fine enough with you choosing to do this for this specific community, but is it really necessary? Have people actually been doing that here in this community specifically? If not, it's a pretty pointless rule honestly, especially if you're only making it because you disagreed with people talking about weed in a separate channel

Like, I don't think the rule's a bad idea considering China's history with drugs, but you should make sure you're doing this for the right reasons rather than out of some grudge or something

Lmao they literally sent that guy a Cease and Desist letter

Also, it seems like some people pointed out that OP's mistaken and that it's a different person who owns the site (a Ben instead of a Burton)... but that this Ben Gerber person has also worked in a fed think tank lmao

Hobby subs mainly, but also that the Linux subs are somehow significantly better than the ones on Lemmy, at least some people on there know what they're talking about and aren't just circlejerking about the usual things lmao

I find that the Lemmy community (outside of here and Hexbear of course) is usually not better than reddit, in fact it's often worse, a lot of the people who moved over are the most -brained people around lol

I appreciate this comment, I've heard it's gotten a bit better over the past year or so too because they have new body scanners apparently, thank you for the reassurance

Still not entirely sure if I can make myself do it, the consequences of the potential worst case scenario are so absolutely horrible that I have to be absolutely certain it's not going to happen in order for me to be willing to take the risk, I probably wouldn't be able to handle even the most basic patdown if the scanners decide to flag me, let alone if a TSA agent decides to be an abuser that day

I really wish though that this pointless security theater organization would be abolished already so that merely travelling internationally wasn't so much to worry about

Been reading about trans people's experiences with the TSA because flying is the only way I'll ever get to be with my girlfriends (I'm in Atlantic Canada, they're in western US), it's just such a worry for me and makes me feel like I'll never be able to make it happen because being sexually assaulted is not a price I'm willing or able to pay

I let them know, they just took care of it 👍

I think you actually posted this one already lol
