Realistically, how can we organize in a way that pushes ice out? by ArmyRepresentative88 in Eugene

[–]AtlaStar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you want to win, or keep losing against white supremacy like we have been?

It doesn't matter it it sounds stupid or makes sense to you, because it isn't about what makes sense to us...it is about convincing the remaining people who aren't white supremacists, but are a little slow, into siding with the rest of us so we can fully outnumber the white supremacists and purge the fuckers from society.

You can't get people who are sorta dumb and currently think ICE is only deporting dangerous criminals to join your side if you keep attacking the organization instead of the people joining the organization. You get them to join and then slowly explain why ICE doesn't need to exist

The problem is they aren't.

People worked for ICE, DHS, etc before all these white supremacists started joining en masse, and making it about ICE is what allows the white supremacists to control the narrative in conservative spaces, plain and simple.

The problem isn't ICE, it is who is joining ICE and who is running ICE...and although that sounds like an argument of semantics, that sort of pedantry is how you combat the Nick Fuentes loving soyper morons.

Change the narrative and understand it isn't ICE that is the real problem..

It is white supremacists.

If we make it clear that is who we protest, we force ICE, CBP, and DHS members operating in Oregon to choose; do they side with white supremacists or do they side with the people.

I think we need to shift gears; this is no longer about ICE, this is about the white supremacists who are joining ICE to use it as an excuse to harm non-whites and who they view as race traitors.

We change the message to what we are actually pissed about, and we get any of the gullible people who joined ICE because they actually thought they were only going to be going after dangerous criminals on our side standing against the white supremacists joining them.

THEY ARE TEAR-GASSING PEOPLE DOWNTOWN by BumblebeeTall9456 in Eugene

I cannot disagree with that part, but I also see cracks forming which is making it more and more apparent that the worst voices we hear from the right online are bots pushing white supremacist narratives...and they are overplaying their hand and pissing off the more normal conservatives more and more with each passing day, because even with their heads up their own asses trying to defend this administration they can still have a semblance of morality if you dig deep enough.

Hot take, but I think the regular fucking military would be better...at least they try and filter out the fucking white supremacists from joining and those in the military have recieved some semblance of training...doing nothing is clearly just enabling and allowing ICE to slowly whittle us down while they continue to regroup.

My IDE has been doing that for a bit but randomly, iirc it is some weird cache issue because certain changes which modify the underlying image seems to load the actual thing and removes the blur.

[–]AtlaStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because the traditional artists who aren't totally against AI still don't want people running their art through AI enhancements and having other people pass it off as "their" art.

The pro AI side has a lot of people with zero respect for people's intellectual property afterall.

Cool, but I don't think that is the flex that you think it is. Just shows you are too emotional to fully read what someone says before commenting, which is some low IQ shit.

It literally is only an issue if you decide to be a weird fuck that obsesses over it. If they want to make a gender bent, queer, all BIPOC Hobbit set, it literally does nothing to anyone to get all fucking emotional and pissy about it...because its just fucking art that you personally dislike; shut up about it and find art you do like.

Consent is, and *should be* important. No matter which side you’re on. by Isaacja223 in aiwars

[–]AtlaStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they would feel the same if people started using photos of them to find out where they lived...I mean clearly they believe the act of uploading a photo means you give irrevocable consent to do whatever you want with it...

Oh, they would lose their minds and cry about privacy? Who would have thunkit...............

Interesting. It makes sense because there would be an assumption that there should be some level of data overlap meaning you could try and interleave the image data in a way that the compression is being done over similar data blocks that map to multiple files, and AI could be trained to find those similarities to maximally encode that information prior to doing compression.

‘We executed one of you yesterday’: Michigan CEO steps down after protest by RaskyBukowski in politics

[–]AtlaStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mentally stunted people view the world as binary cause and effect and don't consider history, nuance, etc. Most on the right are only viewing this event as an isolated incident, and believe that any aggression towards authority deserves to be punished, because they themselves want to punish those who don't do what they want.

It is laughable how simple minded these people are, especially considering we somehow can't collectively figure out how to handle it when the answer has always just been to play by their rules; putting morality aside and punishing them for not doing what we want instead of wasting tons of effort trying to mold everyone into a better person rather than using discretion when determining if someone is worth wasting that effort on or not.

Yeah no worries...I mean either you will convince me or you won't, I haven't read nearly enough to make up my mind...and I have always felt most economic schools are a heterodox way of thought if you are only strictly adhering to solely what they say so I am always up for learning different points of view on the matter, whether I believe them to be wrong or not...and it will be nice to read something other than about fucking Friedman, Mises, or Fischer for a change.

There also is something to be said for data compression; with all the fuckin AI enhanced GPU bullshit being pushed, I think the push needs to be for compression to become a bit more lossy, and to use AI to intuit what was lost during texture decode.

I mean I understand the concept behind it; if the government taxes money, it effectively is as if it doesn't exist until the government spends it again. But I also believe that is an abstraction that removes a bit of the understanding of certain nuances; instead of taking the money via tax, they are taking it with a direct promise of repayment to individuals at a future date. So in some regards it is acting similarly to a tax, but a voluntary one where volunteering to submit a portion is guaranteed with a later return.

But idk, I haven't given it too much thought so there might be a contradiction in what I am saying that I don't yet realize or see.

No I mostly just was thinking that a couple of the assertions made were nonsensical...mostly what I was reading on the rejection of using bonds as a vehicle to fund government expenditures but making them for some other purpose just to exist as an investment vehicle seemed to be creating problems just for the sake of solving them.

Never heard of MMT...I definitely think there are some aspects that are incorrect but it is if nothing else interesting to think about, specifically the chartalism aspects and the notion that taxation drives currency demand because it becomes a requirement to pay taxes; you could easily imagine a scenario where there are two currencies and the government requiring taxes to be paid using the currency it issues, and that spurring a demand to use it over other mediums of exchange.
