PSA: all women in Trumpistan should be especially very mindful of state-level surveillance of their internet use, whether or not they pirate stuff. But this is also good advice for all pirates.
This is a very paternalistic attitude imo. Your peers don’t need “protecting” from AI content any more than they need “protecting” from pornography, for example. Isn’t it preferable that they get to decide for themselves without you trying to sink those communities in the feed?
WASHINGTON — The leaders of the Democratic National Committee announced they plan to learn absolutely nothing from their embarrassing loss to President-elect Donald Trump, multiple sources confirmed.
“We learned a lot this time around. The most important takeaway from all of this is that we have to stay the course. In 2028 we plan to put forward the most disliked candidate yet. The primary process will probably be truncated, maybe we will skip it altogether. It all depends on what our biggest corporate donors want,” said DNC chair Jaime Harrison. “But we can’t do this without raising money. If you thought our fundraising efforts were annoying before, you haven’t seen anything yet. We also want to congratulate our friends in the Republican party, they played a great game and we can’t wait to work with them more.”
Lisa Fouts, a reluctant member of the Democrat party, is not sure what to do from here.
“This wasn’t supposed to happen. It was supposed to be an easy win. Trump is a felon, a rapist, and he’s legitimately losing his mind. But no, the DNC fucked everything up at every level. They just assumed people would vote their way despite doing nothing for years, it makes me want to puke,” said Fouts. “The DNC already sent an email with the subject line ‘Shame On You’ and it said I didn’t send them enough money to get them to win. Then they sent a follow up email that called me a ‘spoiled child’ and then left me a voicemail saying they are going to kick my dog if I even consider looking into a third part candidate.”
Satire or real life? It’s honestly hard to tell the difference nowadays.
I think you pretty much summed it up, matey.
If only we had an option to disable downvotes from non-subscribers!
Now that would be great!
And yes, I agree it would be preferable to have something that mods can opt into and configure to their community’s needs, only if needed.
Or, it could mean they weren’t fine with either option? “We’re not quite as evil as the other guy” isn’t the campaign slogan you seem to think it is.
No I’m not happy, I’m disappointed. And I’m annoyed that liberals can’t seem to be bring themselves to accept that the blame for Harris losing the election does not fall on the electorate, it falls on the Harris campaign and the long established Democratic practice of putting the needs/want of oligarchs and foreign policy hawks before the needs/wants of their own citizens.
And what are the chances that the Democrats have learned their lesson and will pivot to a more progressive candidate for the next election cycle? It seems more like a Zoolander situation - they just can’t turn to the left.
Lol no “they’d” rather have a president who doesn’t materially support genocide, but seems like that wasn’t something people were allowed to vote for.
I think people just want a president who doesn’t materially support genocide. If that is too high a bar, then your country deserves what it gets.
I’m sure misogyny also played a big role in her numbers. But if Harris firmly opposed any material or diplomatic support for genocide, then she probably would have won despite the misogynists, no?
So in your view, she bears zero responsibility for promising to continue foreign policies that remain deeply unpopular among her own voter base? She was aware this was an election, right?
One person’s “slop” is another person’s favourite content, which is exactly the problem with “activist downvoting”. Those persistent down voters are effectively forcing their own personal feed preferences on everyone who uses Lemmy instead of simply blocking the communities they aren’t interested in. AFAIK it’s a problem with a lot of niche communities, not just with AI related communities.
At least he gets to catch up on his sleep during court appearances eh?
Welcome to the community pal, glad to have you here.
Most probably, but where’s the fun in that? :p
Sorry, tbh I don’t know which comment specifically you are referring to. And I fully agree with the sentiment of your comments below.
[…] i made clear that people should vote for Harris and that Trump is an insane racist that may very well destroy the world if he had the chance this time, but i maintained that we should still protest the ongoing genocide of Palestinians and her bad policies like vowing to continue funding genocide. And again reiterating that Trump would also keep funding genocide but he 1000× worse.
You just reminded me of linkerbaan because your conversational style is similar. The libs have gone a bit crazy with their pro-Harris worship with the election coming up. You mustn’t mention her complicity in genocide or you must be a foreign agitator and want Trump to win right? /s
I must have read this argument a million times in the past couple of weeks. I don’t know why Dems think leftists would rally around Harris just to stop Trump. If Harris wants our vote, then she should change her policy on Israel (and a lot of other things tbh). Simple as. If she loses, it’s because she never gave an inch to the left and instead spent all her time recruiting former Republicans as though was ever going to help her cause. It seems to me she would rather lose the election than make any meaningful changes to the status quo. And that’s 100% on her.

It’s Sonarr - just saw that the first couple of episodes of this series are on usenet already, so I guess it’s not so ironically difficult lol
Fittingly enough they are also now available on The Pirate Bay as torrents.
