Waaaah…

Menace and Jedi sure, absolutely trash. But Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie.

Right?! Where is the faux gold shit? Where is the “Biden Burger” as a kids meal? Where is “laptop from hell hot sauce”!?

Come on, I am not a fash but I can write a better menu than these turds.

Don’t go to the restaurant website.

TL:DR I got curious, the article metioned pun names and I wanted to see how awful they were. Soon as I connected I caught “StealthBrowser-Installer.EXE” trying to download and execute.

The worst part is that these aren’t even fucking puns…

Cowards.

Love the books but completely agree. I devoured the trilogy but all of the charcters felt like cardboard cut outs. I liked the concept and the story, but hated all of the charcters and the writing in general.

I’m on my phone so I can’t fully crunch the numbers, but I took a few minutes to poke around and I think I found the stats to put both of these in perspective.

https://www.arbor.eco/blog/ai-environmental-impact

Each query sends out roughly 4.32 grams of CO₂e (MLCO2), which may seem trivial on its own but adds up millions of queries a day, and you’re looking at a staggering daily output. 1 million messages sent to ChatGPT is equivalent to 11,001 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle

https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/greenhouse-gas-emissions-typical-passenger-vehicle

The average passenger vehicle emits about 400 grams of CO2 per mile.

So yikes and without a doubt unsustainable energy usage, but comparing this to wikis article on COVID environmental impacts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic_on_the_environment?wprov=sfla1

In 2020, carbon dioxide emissions fell by 6.4% or 2.3 billion tonnes globally.

My napkin math says that we would need ~532,407,407 AI queries to match the 2020 work for home drop, but unfortunately, Chat GPT alone is estimating 2.5 billion prompts, daily.

I started writing this assuming the opposite was true but unfortunately AI is a bigger environmental impact than an RTO. Which is honestly shocking. I hope someone corrects my math and tells me it isn’t this dire. Work from should be the norm, but AI is truly just a massive environmental burden.

Context matters. If it’s alongside some alt right bigotry, then yes. If it’s just a dumb joke about frens and feels, then not at all.

Just how the Christian cross can be a hate sign or a sign of community. In vacuum these are just symbols a collection of shapes and color. Much like these individual pictographic letters combine to make words and sentences. When pepe is used to convey hate, then he is quite literally a hate symbol, but not in any other.

HA!

I feel like I should be annoyed at the headline, but honestly it’s clever. Veganism isn’t just a diet, but an ethical framework on minimizing harm so this fits all three aspects in the articles.

• I support artists who had their work stolen as part of dataset, it’s largely the same reason I don’t eat animals, it’s all about consent. Being harmed without consent is always wrong.

• Likewise the environmental footprint of meat and AI are massive and unnecessary. The carbon footprint between meat and plant protein is massive, just like the difference between building more data centers and supporting existing artists.

• AI is bad for your mental health, we don’t really have complete research on what exactly AI does to our brains but I’ve seen enough people thinking they “unlocked sentience”, became “digital gods” and started AI “relationships” to steer clear for my own protection. Not dissimilar to the studies that show a plant based diet is better for your heart and immune system. I’d still be eating plants even if it were bad for my health, I care more about the ethical side, but existing research very much shows it as a net positive.

Neat concept.

Temtem. Like I’m not trying to be a troll, but Tem has so much more going on in its world.

That is the wrong genre classification for my post. I suppose I have no choice but make my own thread complaining how other opinions aren’t as nuanced as my own opinion of my opinion.

My friend, you’re describing Post Malone.

But more to the point, genres are in the ear of the beholder. Anyone can have a personal opinion about what type of music is X or isn’t X, but that doesn’t get to override another person saying they think X is Y. Music is inherently subjective, genres are fluid and fundamentally just labels we use to say “this sound reminds me of that sound”. You can think a person or group is ridiculous but there is no objective truths here, it’s truly just your opinion versus their opinions it’s an inherently unwinable discussion for anyone.

Respectfully, this is a angsty teenage type of wasted energy. Purity testing art is just a no win situation, worry less about the words others use to describe art and focus more on the fact that you’re all enjoying different parts of the same artist.

What was even the point of Biden dropping out if his replacement wasn’t going to change anything?! Ugh. What a waste.

It reminds me of the “allies” who insist that in LGBTQIA+ the A stands for ally instead of asexual. Literally replacing a marginalized sexual identity community with being tangential to the larger community.

While these questions aren’t as bigoted as having “straight pride” events or asking for “white history” month, they see all born of the same fundamental misunderstanding of a given community in context of a larger biased society.

If I have to pick a burger, then same! But if we’re talking vegan fast food options than my first choice is always gonna be fresco style burritos at 🌮 🔔

Just curious, what was the male version?

Congrats. I love this for him. ♥️

Finicial authority beats moral everytime.

Exactly!

For the last year I’ve been a primary wheelchair user, I can walk a bit but that only gets me to the bathroom. Since then my weight has become a bit of a problem but I’m already doing the maximum exercise I’m capable of. I have dropped 10 over the last few months just by diet, which is less than I would like but it’s what I can do.

You cant assume the “mad constraints” is just laziness without knowing the full picture. Either answer the question or scroll on, but its cruel to attack someone over what they can’t do.

It’s pretty clear that you wouldn’t approve of any cop show that tries to work through these issues

Well I definitely wouldn’t say that, I’m a big fan of The Wire and We Own This City. All three are different flavors of copaganda, I just feel B99 lampshaded systemic issues instead of confronting them.

However I do agree that there isn’t use in arguging, and since we both made our opinions clear you go have a good day. ♥️

You just listed the exact reasons the show is copaganda.

American Police are not lovable goofballs full of historically oppressed minorities realizing they are the bad guys. They are not “tackling issues”, they are lampshading and white washing them. Take the episode where Peralta meets the old detective from the book he loves on and is like

“Oh wow, old school police were racist… glad they aren’t anymore!”
