The person you replied to thinks their shopping list is somehow immune to advertising

Yep. They only buy things on their list, okay.

So which brand of that thing are you going to buy? The one you recognize most and are most familiar with, maybe?

It’s cute how you think deleting your account will stop them.

Great. So now Facebook can become a literal ghost town.

I wonder how advertisers paying for ads on Facebook feel about paying to advertise to dead people?

They really do like to penalize people for caring about their privacy, don’t they?

ENOUGH THAT I CAN USE IT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PANCAKE SYRUP IN A PINCH IF NECESSARY!!!

Yep, either way, your job is toast.

AI succeeds: AI takes your job.

AI fails: Economy crashes and you lose your job due to the crash.

But you won’t be able to afford it because the market crash means you lose your job.

The ones that require traffic lights and shit never seem to work properly for me. They always make me do an endless repetition of them, going through dozens and dozens before it finally, maybe lets me see the website I was trying to get to.

Maybe I’m just not human enough?

If I put sugar in it, I might as well be drinking soda and juice again.

Those terms are specifically used by the pedo “roleplay” portion of the anime fandom

How would you even know enough about that portion of that fandom to know such things…? 🤨

Heaven forbid leftists get a bit doomy when climate change is inevitably accelerating and fascists are in the process of consolidating their complete control over the most powerful country on earth.

How do you make a profit from producing AI slop?

You sell how-to guides to other producers of AI slop.

And yet I get constantly shadowbanned there just for using a VPN…

I think reddit likes bots more than it likes real users.

If you donate even just $5 to my submarine balloon program, you can be part of the solution to this harrowing issue. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Sounds like a big opportunity if anybody ever wanted to start up and run a big, popular instance…

Though it might be a bit of a nightmare to moderate.

The primary argument of “you might forget to disengage it in the heat of the moment” is complete bullshit.

Even if you are in that (rather misguided) camp, there are better alternatives. Specifically, a grip safety. Safety automatically disengaged as long as you’re holding the gun properly. Can’t ‘forget’ to do that!

And, yes, there are good, modern designs that use grip safeties. The Springfield XD line, for example. (Those models also require a trigger pull for disassembly, though. Is it that hard to include some kind of decocker?)

Yeah… I don’t really want to see US infantry on the ground in Ukraine, but I would have really liked to see the US enforce a no-fly zone over contested areas and maybe also bomb the shit out of Russian forces in Ukraine from the air.

Hitting targets inside Russia could be politically nonviable, as it probably violates some international laws, but with Ukraine’s permission, they could absolutely hit anything they wanted inside Ukrainian territory.

Making a treaty with the US is folly.

Yep. If you need confirmation, just ask any Native American.

Even then … 20 years is a long time. Who’s to say the US won’t elect another Russian-puppet pedo within that time?

I assume that the new agreement would involve more concrete conditions and responsibilities

And what happens when (not if) the Trump administration (or some even worse successor) ignores those concrete conditions and responsibilities? Is Ukraine going to sue the USA in international court while they’re being overrun?

There’s no ‘security guarantee’ out there anymore that could possibly be worth the paper it’s written on.

If I were in charge of Ukraine right now, I’d be looking for ‘security guarantees’ in the form of mutual defense pacts with other countries in the region that could be in a similar situation. Poland, Finland, etc. Those might actually have your back, since they know that they’re next if you fall.
