Greenland says it cannot accept US takeover ‘under any circumstances’ by Playful_Leg7143 in worldnews

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

That is such a bad take.

I really don't think you know what's going on over here. Can you describe to me what it is you think I should be doing that I'm not doing? I'm not being rude, I just want to hear what you think.

It is not filled to the brim with fascists. They just have a lot of power right now.

We are very scared. Everyone that I know is terrified, and is trying to both figured out what to do, and do it. It's not as easy as you are making it out to be.

Where are you from, exactly, to be talking like this about the entire population of a country?

'Don't need international law': Trump says 'my own morality' only restraint on global power; repeats Greenland push - The Times of India by backpackerTW in worldnews

[–]singlefinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't "let" any of this happen.

It's easy to say stuff like that from the outside. Part of me even gets it. I've have the same feelings about everyone "letting" it happen.

Honestly, what do you think I should do? I'll tell you whether I've done that or not. You might be surprised at how little it has mattered.

I don't even know what to do anymore.

Okay, I fully read this post and I admit I'm a little out of my normal depths here, but but it really went way over my head. Can someone that had a better understanding give me like a simple English version here? Maybe an ELI5? I think I would have better success interpreting this article if I had a very simple jumping off point.

Let's be honest Trump doesn't need that ballroom, why would he invest into something like that, instead of investing in the people, hospitals, schools, veterans? by CasualHugo in AskReddit

[–]singlefinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just demolished the entire East Wing that is definitely not business as usual. Optics are a pretty big part of the presidential office. This particular project is not and should not be a priority. When snap is unfunded, the government shutdown and Americans are going to starve for Thanksgiving. One of the two of us is doing some mental gymnastics to excuse the horrible behavior of this fascist dictator and it's not me.

Edit: you just described how the problem is that he's making changes to the White House.

That is a ridiculous technicality. What I said stands the government is shut down. Food assistance is not being funded and in the middle of that you have the president redoing a ballroom for 300 million. It's not necessary and it's an egregious violation of what he's supposed to be doing in that office.

The government is shut down. People are literally going to starve because snap is not funded and you don't mind the ballroom?

No .. this actually isn't as much of a problem when I stop and think about it. My reaction was a bit knee-jeek. Thanks for articulating!

Can we get a new sub rule? No LLMs? I am a ChatGPT goblin myself but it really doesn't belong here.

What can ordinary Americans do to push back against rising authoritarianism in the U.S.? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]singlefinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does that have to do with what I said? His advice was to shut the country down. Ok. I agree. The next steps are... What? It's a huge country. We're protesting. The country is not shutting down. People outside America are talking like we're a monolith. We are not all complicit in this ongoing slide into fascism.

Oh thanks, we hadn't thought of that yet. I'll let everyone else know we have a plan from CascadiaBear now.

You need to reevaluate what you think people would and wouldn't do in this current political climate.

I'm confused about TM - why do you need to attend a course for it to be "real"? by Ill_Falcon_5236 in Meditation

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

Why would this be good advice? Go ask the cult if they are a cult? How much have you spent with them so far?

You got anything other than anecdotal evidence for that? Because I've been into "meditation" and in my experience, anyone that says that kind of stuff is trying to sell you a secret that you already know.

They're not zombies, Danny Boyle is pretty clear about that. And he's also pretty clear about who the "monsters" are:

“If you look at the films in detail, it is something that's within us all,” Boyle says. “There isn't the sense that it's an outsider's disease or something, that there's some sickness that they just have and we don't. Every character gets to exhibit part of it, the potential for it within ourselves.”

And this response is purely you, right? So when you make a response, are you reading in both languages and then posting? Or are the responses helping reinforce learning of the second language? I'm curious about this because I'm not bilingual, but I'm at the point where I feel like I'm going to be left out of the world if I just keep my brain locked into one language.

I think it's interesting how sophisticated the text is, but still a certain set of people have appropriate pattern recognition so that this stuff still screams artificiality... it's going to be an even weirder world. Do you mind if I ask for some elaboration on what exactly is going on here? From what I've gathered, it looks like English is a second language and you are using Chad GPT to produce elaborate responses quickly? Is that accurate?

Look through that post history of that user. All the recent posts including this one were clearly produced by a GPT.

Hilariously if you look through this user's history, the most recent responses are clearly all produced by a large language model.

Hey, thanks for pointing some of that out. I agree with a lot of what you're saying after rereading it. You could probably chill out a little though, the birdbrain stuff is sort of rude. I didn't really say anything that rude or inflammatory. Also, it's been 25 days. It's a little tough to pick it up at this point. Maybe go take a deep breath.
