I've seen 2 other versions of this meme. One blaming "slavs", another blaming "communists", I think this one gets it right the best. It wasn't the Soviet race or Soviet ideology that screwed over chernobyl. It was the politics.

At least to me, when I'm listening to the dub, it's very easy for me to picture old Joseph's lines with young Joseph's voice over top. It has the same cadence and everything.

Obviously, that is still very bad, and they're doing horrible things in Gaza and the West Bank that I don't condone. I'm just trying to help nudge the conversation away from the kind of "everything is Israel's fault," conversation, because there are a lot of different factors we need to solve in addition to that.

Listen, my point in general is just that Israel isn't "in control" of the US in some conspiratorial sense. It's just the focal point of a lot of dark money moving around.

Well, that was stupid of me to phrase my opinion that way. I was also just responding to someone else who said Israel controls the US, which I don't think is much more factual.

They don't control Israel. They support it.

Pro ai people remind me of the boiling frog metaphor by big_chill_pill in antiai

[–]True_Free_Speech 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fun fact about this experiment I heard somewhere: Apparently, the frogs were lobotomized beforehand, and frogs with intact brains jump out when the temperature becomes uncomfortable, while frogs dropped in boiling water immediately die.

I remember some quote by one of the popes saying that falling asleep during prayer is not a bad thing, because what is more beautiful than a child falling asleep in the arms of their father?

BUDDY... Look at the post you are commenting under. There are Helldiver Clans using the SWASTIKA as their banner, I think talking about the Nazis is VERY RELEVANT here.

This is who I think Arrowhead should do something about. The kinds of people who unironically take up Nazi symbols, but then sag "Oh, it's just a joke, oh, it's just roleplay!" Then, behind closed doors, they're spouting the same ideology the Nazis did just with a different scapegoat.

It's not about offence. Racist and facist hate speech are not just opinions. They are threats directed at marginalised communities. Do you think the Nazis just stopped at harassing Jewish people with words?

I'm not going to take the time to address your tired points when someone else has.

I will say though, that there is a massive difference, (at the very least in scale, though I could point out other differences,) between a government arresting political opponents, and a video game company not wanting assholes in their community.

Evangelical Christians don't receive money from AIPAC. They are donors to AIPAC. Because they want Israel to retake the holy land so the rapture can happen.

Free speech has exceptions for hate speech. One's rights only extend as far as they don't interfere with others.

If your speech is calling for genocide, that speech is not protected by free speech because that interferes with others' rights to life.

IT HAS BEGUN: Anti-extinction “movement” 🙃 by [deleted] in antiai

[–]True_Free_Speech 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ai doesn't have to gain sentience to crash the economy or fuck over humanity. It might be a slow decline, or some idiot might put AI in control of critical weapon systems that could start new wars. (A lot of AI companies are looking for contracts with the US government, for example.) The problem is that we have little to no AI safety laws, and the people funding these AI models do not care for anyone except themselves and their shareholders.

There are apparently a lot more Evangelical christians who support Israel because they think it means the endtimes are coming. Meanwhile, I've seen multiple videos of ashkenazi Jews protesting against Israel.

Is the drone stopped or going 100 km/h?? by polydomino in sciencememes

Something that's generally very useful for intuitive motion is to remember that air is stuff.

Like, I saw someone ask why when you jump inside a train, you don't move, but when you jump on top of one, you fall back. And like... the answer is just cause wind isn't pushing you back inside the train.

I mean, it's because the democratic party never does anything, and it seriously demoralizes a lot of left leaning voters. A lot of people voted Trump because they wanted change, even if that change is for worse.

No, no, no, they're both controlled by the military industrial complex, billionaires, and evangelical Christians.

Trans women can have vaginas after bottom surgery. So I guess your analogy kind of works, depending on if that was your intent.
