The extreme version of this would be calling suicidal people “selfish.” Like what the hell goes through your mind to make you say that?

Is this not against GDPR? I feel like this would be a slam dunk case.

The AI started writing beyond their primary audience’s reading range /s

XD is pretty rare as an emoticon now.

Also abbreviating you as u, to as 2, for as 4. Probably because we have full keyboards and not numpads anymore.

We had a campaign in Canada called “‘That’s so gay’ is so yesterday” when I was in school. A lot of classrooms had stickers or posters with that quote. IDK how well it worked in general but definitely had an effect on me, especially since I was at an age where I didn’t really understand what homosexuality even was, and one of my first exposures to the word was that it’s not okay to use it as an insult.

Wouldn’t go as far as to say it “traumatised” me but In the Night Garden was a surreal, creepy fever dream of a show that still lives rent free in my head. The thing kid me found most weird was that I first saw it in Canada, but when we went back to China to visit family they were airing it there too in the imported shows segment right next to Spongebob and Doraemon. At that point I was really confused because I assumed for a show to be imported it would have to be really well written and acclaimed, but In the Night Garden was such a nonsensical cacophony that it left me wondering what it is about it my stupid kid brain had missed. Still don’t know what was up with that show.

The show that really did traumatise me though was this ghost hunting show on Animal Planet about people’s pets acting weird because they were “detecting” ghosts in their home. Freaked me the hell out because I assumed anything that aired on a documentary channel was real, and the fact that they involved animals in their “justification” of why the place is haunted added to the realism for me at the time. Took until I was an adult to realize that ghost hunting shows are all fake. This was right at the start of documentary channels deciding to sell out to pseudoscience bullshit AFAIK, so they still had a significant air of authority especially for kids.

They really should teach about those in school. Like I learned how those work from Linus Tech Tips, when I was in high school. Why are we so against teaching how basic infrastructure our society relies on work?

Spain still supports the Western empire by being in it and benefiting from the exploitation of the periphery. The EU alone has done plenty to support the atrocities in the Middle East, and Spain has, at the very least, witnessed all of that (if not actively participated) and still sees fit to stay in the EU.

They don’t block .ml so they can spam “you’re on .ml lol everyone you’re talking to is an idiot/tankie/Sino-Russian bot” unprompted to anyone else who actually tries to engage in debate here. Acting like an edgelord with low effort dunks presumably also with a saviour complex of “guiding people who stumbled into the tankie zone back to the Western-liberal light” takes priority over actually blocking the people they hate and keep threatening to block.

Oh fuuuuuck off. People are being slaughtered in hones and schools and this, THIS is what the “experts” are warning of? The West deserves it and has exactly zero right to complain, and I say that as a Westerner so I’m including myself that assertion.

Really exposing how the US military isn’t the perfect war machine the US thinks it is.

Marx predicts and explains why stimulants that promote productivity at the expense of health will inevetably be forced by a capitalist society that endlessly demands more of workers. So capitalism drives more people to drug dependency essentially by design. The meme is kind of edgy but that what it’s trying to get at IMO.

Wouldn’t they just time out?

Who wants to buy some genuine HiddenLayer555 natural stupidity tokens? Guaranteed to be natural, guaranteed to stupid.

No. There used to be some nice things on Windows, but Windows 11 has thoroughly ruined them.

Treating housing like a utility and not a cash cow. Who’d have thunk it?

Pupils dilate to let in more light and improve the accuracy of a strike. Especially since cats hunt in relative darkness.

1 year of highway funding lol meet the second least efficient thing in capitalist society

And this is the best case scenario. It’s either this or they literally think they’re meaningless collateral in the West’s noble mission to save the world.

Makes sense, FIFA is a corrupt, horrible organisation that’s an insult to the game of soccer.
