  • Piss off your local conservatives by telling them you support an organization that takes unskilled workers and gives them free housing, free healthcare, job training, cheap mortgages, and tax-advantaged income. When they start going on about how that sounds like some "commie bullshit" reveal that you've just described the US military. Your mileage (kilometerage?) may vary in countries with a functional healthcare system

    Rebecca Cheptegei: Olympic athlete dies days after being set alight by ex-boyfriend | BBC
  • "us" speak for yourself buddy but I have never lit a woman on fire and never will. We all would be better off without violent assholes regardless of their gender.

    What's a life lesson you learned the hard way that you'd want to share with others to help them avoid the same mistake?
  • I had a similar experience, took a friend in for about a year after he lost his job. He just spiraled deeper into depression, I burned a ton of social capital trying to get him out of the house to make friends. He spray painted things on my patio without putting down a drop cloth, broke things inside the house, constantly complained about how crappy or small my house was, while never paying a penny towards it. He was just constantly grumpy and rude, and was completely shocked when I asked him to move out. He kept saying how it was good for him to live with me and just couldn't conceive that it was awful for me.

  • Yes and no; technically they're an independent entity but they've been used as useful idiots by Russian intelligence so many times at this point they're effectively Russian

    Read up dipshit, they specifically murdered people because they were offended by cartoons of their prophet. The murderers themselves cited their religion as motivation. Go on, explain to me how that wasn't really what they're upset about, I'll wait.

  • Phobia is an irrational fear. Being afraid of extremists who want to brutally murder you for drawing a cartoon is perfectly rational.

    obesity
  • I understand the level of willpower is different, I have an eating disorder myself. But the fact remains it is something that can be willed. Changing myself to be a different race or sexual orientation isn't a willpower issue, it's simply impossible. Hence why the comparison in this tweet is ridiculous.

    Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line
  • Badly copy (see Gemini)

    Tf are you smoking dude, Google has been working on AI long before ChatGPT was a twinkle in Sam Altman's eye. They didn't release any public models because they wanted to go about it safely and not just dump the world's best misinformation creator on the open market for anyone to use with little safeguards. All that went out the window when ChatGPT got all the press and google decided they wanted a piece of the hype, but pretending they "didn't do any innovation of their own" in regards to AI is ludicrous. They have been at the forefront of AI development for the last decade, and the fact you think otherwise shows your only knowledge about AI is from after ChatGPT headlines started coming out.

    obesity
  • Obese people acting like they can't control it is precisely why they're obese. It's vile to discriminate against someone for their height, race, sexual orientation, and other factors because they have no control or choice over those things. But if someone makes a bad choice that negatively affects their own health and others around them, it's acceptable to tell that person it's unsafe. Shaming them is ineffective, but just pretending being obese is normal and healthy isn't ok either. These folks need help.

    Don't even start with me on thyroid disorders, those are a small fraction of people who are obese and even they do not defy basic laws of thermodynamics. Eat less than you burn, it's basic math. You may not be able to control the disorder but you are in control of how you respond to it.

  • It sounds like you have a sensory perception disorder, that is not most people's reactions to those situations. A good home theater system will probably be more comfortable for you.
