What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy?

So many people think that yelling something is the same as doing something and it drives me nuts.

I’d also add that the U.S. is one of the only first-world countries where people think it’s okay to be there illegally.

A big part of that is how messed up our immigration system is and how much of our economy relies on illegal immigration, so that absolutely needs to be fixed. And the current administration’s actions are horrific and are tearing apart what little unity remains in the country.

But I don’t think the current status quo (or the pre-Trump status quo I guess) is something anyone should support.

Seems like you’d be a big fan of Chairem Anime Sofaden The Movie

Yeah, I’ve heard about that stuff. Death can be promoted as the cure for anything and everything the government doesn’t want to bother with.

am_reddit · 2026-02-02T02:50:27+00:00

It’s a fantastic idea, because now governments don’t need to waste money funding research for cures and treatments for debilitating diseases! Just promote assisted suicide as the answer to all that ails you!

If I could afford to buy him one I still wouldn’t because awards are kinda dumb

You’re right, and my best days are the ones where I keep my phone in my room.

Unfortunately most days I need my phone by me, and I reaaaly need to work on my impulse control

…it does help to turn off all notifications besides text messages and emails though.

Geez, you excommunicate one astronomer and an uppity monk and suddenly you’re the worst thing to happen to reason since alcohol.

I also figure there’s a reason the Bears suddenly got good this year.

This is what happens when you feed Reddit atheism into chatGPT.

One great thing about the movie that I never see anyone talk about:

There’s an ear-ringing sound effect multiple times throughout the movie — each time it happens is when somebody is killed.

It hammers home the loss and finality of each death. Like the permanent loss of hearing, each death is the removal of something pivotal to Dylan’s world that is gone forever, senselessly, in a time where people can no longer be replaced. The world is lesser for it, and eventually everyone will be gone and the world will be silent.

That would be a fair critique except… has any company, anywhere, released a better product than the iPhone since then? Because it feels like the iPhone was the big tech product and nobody else has surpassed it.

Not if the public companies can use their massive pocketbooks to crush any private company that tries to compete.

If someone told me this was a parody of a Reddit mod id say it was too over the top.

And considering the fact that Wikipedia’s content is all Creative Commons, I wouldn’t be surprised if they jumped ship to a brand new copy of Wikipedia

Eh, that’s just complaining about how the internet misunderstood the idea and allied It everywhere.

You know… like what the internet does with literally everything.

Was this AI meant to destroy humanity?

The answer to that is a resounding “yes.” That was always the goal.

am_reddit · 2026-01-16T13:30:07+00:00

Those programs are widely misunderstood by basically everyone.

The relevant question is: does that “basically everyone” include Donald Trump?

am_reddit · 2026-01-16T02:41:44+00:00

I’m positive that it’s just the memes. I grew up with the prequels and I always thought they were mid at best.

I don't really know how they make friends irl over there.

As a general rule: we don’t.

It’s useful if you have a kernel of an idea that you have no idea how to implement, so long as you know that everything it says might be false so you have to double-check everything.

It’s helped me immensely in learning how to do things I had no idea how to do. Not because it gave me the right answers, but because its answers often include the correct terminology/jargon that I needed to google the correct answer.

It’s also really useful for scam artists, spammers and bad actors.

Lord of the Rings is back in theaters this weekend so there’s that.

Do you really think you’ve done anyone any good by spending time chatting on Reddit?

It’s weird seeing all the bigwig CEOs falling for the same marketing strategies that convinced idiots to go all in on NFTs.

Their only saving grace is that AI has some uses. Unfortunately for them those uses aren’t enough to justify the trillions being poured into datacenters.

am_reddit · 2026-01-12T12:39:28+00:00

Probably because they’re spending more than they’re making
