KelvarCherry [They/Them]

Okay this is great that she’s free and all, but can we stop for a second and think about what happened here? A woman was grabbed off the street, beaten and brutalized (I’ve seen the arrest footage), and ripped out of her life, while being 100% peaceful and obedient.

I’m so sick of the one-sided violence, while we’re told to obey and be peaceful and whatever else.

One of the other traders was Virginia independent Mark Moran, who is running for Senate. Kalshi said Moran bet in October that he would announce a political run, and then publicly launched his campaign in January.

In an interview with CNN, Moran said the trades were a stunt so that a “longshot” candidate like himself could draw attention to “illegal gambling” happening on prediction sites.

Yeah I support this guy’s use. Really, it’s the system that is the problem; not the individual politicians. Besides, the President of the USA has done far worse.

I pray this ignites the general strike we’ve been yearning for. I’ll walk around town and see if I spot any folks. I’m looking forward to this!

A dozen will be an understatement. The tournament games span over a week. I think 100 is a closer figure, if FIFA doesn’t get their wish of ICE going on ‘vacation’.

I hope this period will be the end of folks whining “ughhh why are you so politicalll”. We’ve got just about every mainstream corporation backing fascism and now outright publishing edgelord manifestos.

Just imagining someone groaning “You don’t gotta be political all the time” and then opening up Google to find they put up the “Restore the Sanctity of the White Race” homepage theme FFS.

I really hope fear of a terrorist attack shuts the event down. Not an actual terrorist attack—I don’t want ordinary civilians to die—but if Iran purposely “leaks” plans to bomb the stadium to the media, I hope that might wreck the World Cup attendance; or even better, get teams to pull out.

Probably 99% of the people who go to the World Cup will be fine.

Brazil has a huge Football (USA Soccer) scene and makes up a large percentage of World Cup tourism. Being dark-skinned Hispanics, they are exactly who ICE targets.

This and reducing marijuana to Schedule III are two popular policies that Democrats are fucking stupid for passing up. If Democrats ever regain power, I do hope this might motivate the party to fully legalize marijuana, psychedelics, and other low-risk drugs like amphetamines.

To be fair, a few teens rocked his shit. That aside, I’d copy your sentiment for every one of these murderous CEOs, politicians, and oligarchs. I’ll note that some brave souls do seem to be fighting back.

Yes. The forcing of Korean captives into Japanese soldiers’ “comfort women” is a common sore point in geopolitics between both Koreas and Japan. Japan has refused to give a real apology, and occasionally South Korea and Japan have visible clashes over the topic.

so there’s a lot of speculation that [Kick is] owned by one or multiple of the big gambling platforms and it’s operated as an advertisement for online gambling

It’s not speculation. Kick is backed by the online crypto gambling platform Stake, which you may know as the site that streamer BossmanJack loses all his money on in those viral clips.

We need to broadcast to the world that visiting the USA for the game is unsafe. Make it EXTREMELY clear that people should not come here. Show videos and pictures of ICE agents detaining people. Broadcast stories of legal immigrants being detained. I don’t have the heart to source the videos and articles now, but I think this is a spot where FIFA and MAGA could both be burned.

Major events like the World Cup are desired specifically as a source of international tourism; and without those tourists, they’re just a major financial hit.

Whether you are planning on using Windows 11 or Win10 or Linux, I would recommend doing a clean reinstall from an ISO. You can download a fresh ISO from Microsoft’s own website. This way, if there is any bloatware from your manufacturer, university, or benefits organization, it will be wiped.

I absolutely do not. I’m focused on one in-road to AI usage. My mind has been gravitating toward schools as they are run according to local government boards that people can reasonably challenge and get a seat on, and to whom the representatives are much more accountable and much easier to persuade.

It’s a lot more difficult to stop, say, a corporate middle manager from pushing AI on their employees. Though, to that point, employees can leave jobs, where students have much less agency over what the school curriculum is, and could be coerced into AI dependency by that school authority (which I have heard happening). Child and young adult brains are also far more malleable, and I fear AI dependency would have a worse, perhaps irreversible, effect.

Thank you for prompting me to clarify ^^

Perhaps they will. You will always have bad actors. My suggestions are really more focused on the messaging those kids get from schools.

I have heard that many students have gotten assignments on which one of the requirements is to use Text/Image generation, or for which they are a suggested tool. Stopping students from being encouraged to use AI is far more important (and far easier) than stopping every kid from cheating on assignments with it.

No, please don’t do any of that?!? What is it with this push to isolate children from all resources online?!? Were none of you a kid on the internet? Why are we damning the ostracized and struggling children?

Please consider the LGBTQ+ kids, neurodiverse kids, kids growing up in regressive households, child abuse survivors, lonely children, and all of the utility that computers decide. Isolating kids from “not approved” voices is a key dream of the Heritage Foundation and the other think-tanks of big tech, corporations, and Christo-fascism.

No Clue how anyone can support letting the US government of propaganda, queer erasure, burying unpleasant history;have MORE control over kids. They’re already putting PragerU propaganda in schools. Let’s not close off another source of information.

I am once again asking you to petition your local school boards to block generative AI usage by students and teachers alike. AI is being pushed on these kids at a young age, and I feel with the downward-trending attention span of Gen Alpha and Gen Z, that will form into a lifelong dependency. Plus, the loss of the licenses from the school system will be a significant dent in the AI metrics.

Here are some demands: block ChatGPT/Gemini/Copilot/DeepSeek on school networks (like porn and gaming sites are blocked); prohibit use of AI-generated images and text on assignments and teaching materials; ensure no assignments will require or recommend the use of AI output at any point.

These suggestions are based on reports I’ve heard from students. Please feel free to comment your own recommendations or information.

I wouldn’t worry much about this. I say we wait until she actually steps up to the primary, and then we collectively smear her until she steps down, or ends up with the results she had in the 2020 primary.

I don’t think one can phrase it better than this. Propaganda, gaslighting, manipulation, and yelling so loud about how holy we all are that any criticism is drowned out. A nation in psychosis.

I hope this strike happens. Just from seeing FIFA catering to Trump, alone, I want their event to fail. I know the strike won’t entirely do that, but it could help.
