Not the ultra patriots, they think other people’s kids are dieing to keep us safe from … Communism? Socialism? Something like that?

Meta is just going to scrub all the Cara content into their AI system anyway. They have no fear because there are no real consequences

Good analysis, but I’d say your not taking a vital factor into account with “AI”, it’s only going to get better, and crooks, conmen, corporations, etc are going to find new ways to weaponize it. I use LLM’s often, and for my purposes, they are truly amazing (now that Google search is fucking useless)

I refuse to pay for a subscription where I don’t own the music. CD’s, records, tapes - I still do it. I do need to start ripping mp3’s off YouTube more though - just a matter of time before shit starts disappearing

Reminds me of a saying “conservatives don’t have policies, they have enemies”

What about xmms? It was basically a winamp clone, I used to use that on my Linux boxes 20+ years ago

Nothing wrong with how it was done back then, I still do the same today

First, link some sources of how China/CCP is using TikTok in anyway different that Facebook to get data on its users, specifically the comparison to malware. I don’t think OP is overreacting and I do think this is a slippery slope (some entity outside US jurisdiction owns a successful app - this is clearly a message to all other companies and startups outside US jurisdiction that they will meet the same fate if their idea becomes too successful). And yes, I’m sure you will “but but CCP” here, and I will say show me proof TikTok is doing something nefarious (that’s any different than what current platforms are doing - all I’ve ever heard is fear mongering that China “could” do something something etc blah blah)

Yeah I think there is a bit of a disconnect with gun people. Some people are purely about self defense, some people are just genuine enthusiasts, and then there is the group of people who like to pretend they are part of the first two groups but really seem to have a lust for blood - be it fear (someone rings the door bell, or mistakenly drives down the driveway), perceived persecution, political ideology or just downright racist shit.

Antigun people seem to think everyone who likes guns is part of the last crazy group. It’s a bit hard to really tell who is who sometimes, but it’s definitely impossible to keep the guns out of the crazies hands.

Not sure what your point is? Are you defending him for having a gun?

Sort of amazed you have Reagan so high

Last time this made the rounds, it was said she didn’t know the dildo was there, a friend put it there as a prank. It was also said she deleted all her social media and whatnot afterwards too. I don’t have source and admit I can be totally off

Let’s hope so

I hope you understand that services you also pay for are also selling your data.

My sweet sweet summer child. I hope you one day find the most beautiful partner and you both go crazy on each other in unspeakable ways - throw all that “clear thinking” out the window and live in the moment at least once

This is exactly what I would expect to read from a normy who never had their ass eaten.

This headline is for republican’s in denial about their party to feel better about themselves. Those of us who have paid attention to conservatives knew for decades what they really were (I used to tell republicans for years this is what their party is, many used to laugh and handwave telling me I’m silly for thinking what this headline says)

Are you forgetting their conservative personalities like S.E.Cup, Lou Dobbs, etc?

CNN was never lefty anyway.
