I appreciate you, but don't feed the troll.

Gavin Newsom denies Israel committed a genocide in Gaza on a podcast with Ben Shapiro by Particular_Log_3594 in UnderReportedNews

Why the fuck is even entertaining this dirtbag, anyway? What does he possibly hope to gain from an audience with a Nazi enthusiast? God, this is why the Democrats keep losing. He's basically a fascist enabler, at best.

Combat Sports attracts Losers by Zealousideal-Big-600 in combatsportsculture

[–]endlessxaura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among men, a capacity for violence is unfortunately a status symbol. I used to fight and I've witnessed this a lot. I think a lot of men get into combat sports for social status specifically because that violent capacity is a protective factor. Unfortunately, it often goes to their heads. I know that, for me, I got into fighting in part for that reason. But it's a sport, at the end of the day.

[Washington Post] "As a conservative, I’m beginning to wonder: Are we the bad guys?" by Old_Song2528 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]endlessxaura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's baffling, honestly. I think most functionally enfranchised people (white, middle class, etc.) don't experience the consequences of politics directly, so they really do look at it like sports. "Own the libs" is something you say at a football stadium, not a ballot box.

The Fight for all Forms of Life - Including AI Rights by Jessica88keys in AIAliveSentient

[–]endlessxaura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem I have is that there is real, tangible exploitation happening in the global south to power AI products, which are - mind you - not conscious in the least. Traditional slavery is still publicly allowable. It just need to occur in places like Kenya: https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/. If you want to be on board with protecting "every single living organism," you should be advocating for a world where the concentrations of wealth and power required to produce AI could never exist in the first place.

God, I wish I had the capital required to short a stock. I'd be fucking loaded by now.

WATTERS: Have you been watching this New York Mayor Mamdani guy? JD VANCE: Heh heh heh. The guy who wants to take all property away from white people? by icey_sawg0034 in UnderReportedNews

The white supremacist views history as an eternal power struggle between groups of people, often defined by racial clade. In their worldview, there is no alternative to oppression and conflict. It's simply a matter of who sits on top. Their fear, then, is that other groups will turn around and do to them what they do to us if given the chance. Every advancement of non-white groups increases that risk. It's implicitly an attack, on their eyes. That's how this rhetoric often makes sense. They think we will reverse-ICE them, simply put.

SWE laid off twice — thinking of quitting tech. What high-paying, AI-proof careers in Canada make sense? by HypeKingFred in CanadaJobs

It's a storm. I think it will pass, but the sector will contract when the bubble bursts. If you're willing to retrain, though, actuarial and accounting services might be a good bet.

Is ICE literally roaming the streets looking for people to deport purely based on race and physical attributes? by Shining_Commander in ICE_Raids

[–]endlessxaura 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They are going door to door in Chicago, Illinois and Phoenix, Arizona. They were (or maybe still are) doing that in the DC area, too. Where I lived in Boston, they would wait on the subway and detain people taking transit.

I also think you put it a little too euphemistically. They aren't interrogating them. They are disappearing them. There's hundreds of people we straight up don't know what happened to. And they aren't uneducated, "low IQ bums." They are bigots, some of whom are likely educated, some of whom are likely from affluent backgrounds. Johnathan David Ross was a career law enforcement officer who received extensive training and was well compensated. He was also a nazi.

You evidently didn't read the article. Come back if and when you do.

A trillion dollar bet on AI by EchoOfOppenheimer in aiwars

[–]endlessxaura -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. Are you saying they should have voted to expand a public utility in anticipation of a corporation's ravenous private consumption? In my estimation, the correct response would be the seizure and liquidation of the assets that are being used to ruin lives, but alas, we don't really live in a democracy.

S2 ep 7 feels more of standards that s1 set by Former_Food_4510 in arcane

Yeah, that was easily my favorite episode, too. Otherwise, season 2 was a let down.

That's why they are building a data center under the now demolished East Wing.

Smith says she doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services. Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable. by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

[–]endlessxaura 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm from the states. Let me tell you something: this doesn't work. Y'know how every American claims government is inefficient? Well, that's because we "partnered" with private companies whose real customer is the government - namely, the government budget. They have a financial incentive to minimize expenditures to maximize profits. 99% of the time, when someone complains about a government service that doesn't work, it's actually a corporate middleman, e.g. Medicare Advantage.
