For example, a person can be black which is considered inferior by most

Sorry buddy, you lost me in the first paragraph.

Your suggestion is to ignore all of the injustice in the world and fix the economic disparity? As if racism, sexism and homophobia haven’t influenced that disparity from day one.

You are rich, by admission, so I understand that you assume everything is about money and manipulating people, but if the Left’s sole aim is to manipulate people into voting for them, we have that party already, and they suck at it.

Why can’t we strive for equality in all forms?

Ha. Hahaha. You think the same people that wrote that trans healthcare is not viable have an innocent and sex positive take on HIV/AIDS?

This one I’m not such a fan of. The number of times I’ve found an interesting bulletin board community, and been told I had to wait 48 hours before I could comment once on the introductions board, before waiting another 24 hours to comment once per day on another small set of allowed forums, but only if my introductory comment was approved by the moderation team….

Yeah, the alternative is a bot and troll riddled mess of a site like reddit, but at least I can usually ask for the source of that furry scat porn without being instantly banned for speaking out of turn to the ruling elite of the forum.

I loved what DeMayo did with the first season of X-Men 97, but his takes on this are weird and bad.

They really read like texts from a bitter ex.

Always a bit of a shock to realise that Bob is still chucking along, angry as ever.

Might have to catch up on 15+ years of comics.

My eyes drifter right past the words “daughter of” in the headline, and I was very confused why “dead man doesn’t eat chocolate” was newsworthy.

Selling their house for $4,500,000 and paying $750,000 in taxes still leaves them with $3,750,000 for an over-55s, healthcare, and investing.

I think the multi-millionaires will be fine.

There is apparently an action scene in which ice cube needs a thumb drive, so orders one via Amazon drone delivery. The drone goes down in all the chaos, and our characters have to barter with the homeless man who found the downed drone by offering him Amazon gift cards. The man is a conspiracy nut who thinks the government is tracking him, but a $1000 Amazon gift cards convinces him to risk his life for the characters.

So yes, it is worse than Borderlands.

“He’s not that bad, he’s only actively choosing to be a nazi in order to reach his own selfish goals”

I would argue this would make him worse than he seems.

Musk isn’t taking you to mars with him, no matter how much you try to fellate his ego.

It’s a stereotype. Why do many people instantly think of Texas when talking about conservative states?

I see the counterargument that “I only use gay as an insult because that’s what would offend them. I’m not homophobic, I just say homophobic things to offend homophobes.”

Nevermind the young men and women out there who are being told that their identity is just ammunition to bully people, we got to be mean to someone on the internet!

Comparing people with legitimate concerns about the use of AI with conservative bigots is definitely an opinion.

Poorly photoshopped

“Scientists are still racing to understand the causes of devastating marine heatwaves.”

It’s a real head scratcher.

My blood BOILS when smug fuckers claim that doctors and nurses are putting lives at risk by demanding their worth. It’s such a cheap shit, and entirely disingenuous.

I can guarantee, based on how similar strikes have worked in my own country, that patient safety has been at the forefront of any planned actions. Why were there still staff on hand to cover the absences? Not because they don’t believe in the cause or are crossing the picket line, but because it was agrees that they would cover while others went on strike.

Does this put pressure on the system? Yes, that’s the point. What’s a strike without pressure? If you don’t pay people enough or give them opportunities, they will leave and you’ll be in the same position.

The problem with trying to successfully strike for medical staff is that the people in charge don’t actually give two shits about patients. They will let a thousand people die before they give doctors or nurses what they deserve. They are betting that the people whose job it is to save lives aren’t willing to put people in actual risk, and will cave long before they do.

And it’s going to work.

For context, his Big Idiot Bill passed, but polling on it has been horrendous. This is another distraction.

I’m so glad they are following the rules on dress code. Where would we be if a government department with the power to destroy lives ignored the rules?

The process involves numerous steps, including tests of physical coordination; checking the driver’s blood pressure and pulse; squeezing the driver’s limbs to determine if the muscle tone is “normal” or not; and examining pupil size and eye movements.

Steps not mentioned:

• is the suspect Black?
• does the suspect fail to defer to you as an infallible authority?
• have you hit your quota of arrests/citations today?

Nobody who is mad at this situation thinks that taking inspiration, riffing on, or referencing other people’s work is the problem when a human being does it. When a person writes, there is intention behind it.

The issue is when a business, owned by those people you think ‘demonised’ inspiration, take the works of authors and mulch them into something they lovingly named “The Pile”, in order to create derivative slop off the backs of creatives.

When you, as a “professional”, ask AI to write you a novel, who is being inspired? Who is making the connections between themes? Who is carefully crafting the text to pay loving reference to another authors work? Not you. Not the algorithm that is guessing what word to shit out next based on math.

These businesses have tricked you into thinking that what they are doing is noble.

No I don’t, but we’re not talking about a single copy of one book, and it is grovellingly insidious to imply that we are.

We are talking about a company taking the work of an author, of thousands of authors, and using it as the backbone of a machine that’s goal is to make those authors obsolete.

When the people who own the slop-machine are making millions of dollars off the back of stolen works, they can very much afford to pay those authors. If you can’t afford to run your business without STEALING, then your business is a pile of flaming shit that deserves to fail.
