lumping all those terms into a single monolithic thing that should be considered enemy is the strategy. in other words “if you’re not one of US, then you’re one of THEM”
you can see the behavior mirrored by pretty much any cult you please-- “in-group” is revered and trusted and supported no matter how terrible they are, and “out-group” is vilified, shunned, persecuted, fucking murdered, no matter how factually innocent they are
yet another “women are to blame for me never getting a date” loser, punching down in order to feel like a big man
We never learn.
entirely by design

We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.
this con man could shit on a plate and his cult followers would spend their last dollar to buy it
it’s incredible how much of themselves they’re all too happy to sacrifice (i.e., transfer ownership to trump) in order to own the libs
they all hate each other, and most of them (as in like 99.9% of them) are unbelievably stupid. reality tv will have nothing to compete with the ensuing GOP shitshow when convicted felon rapist con man fascist dies
i’m making it my own personal holiday–bigger than 7/4, bigger than new years, bigger than fucking christmas–when he finally fucking croaks
what people get even more angry about is the suggestion that they delete their facebook account
and yet the average maga voter will still say the real problem causing harm to the country is DEI
garbage in, garbage out and back in again
he’s got nothing to worry about. when they crash down to $1, trump will call it a “matter of national security” or some shit, and then bail them out, courtesy of your tax dollars and my tax dollars. because they actually want the AIs for their police state surveillance
it took me forever to work up the gumption to ditch the thing i’d been using for decades too-- as someone who knew zero about linux (and still don’t know much more than zero), seeing other people in similar situations make that switch definitely helped me to take the leap of faith. now windows is gone and i’m never looking back
i’m not understanding what you’re saying. “Still doable and not a loss”??
sounds like something AI would say
i don’t think it’s emphasized enough that AI isn’t just making up bogus citations with nonexistent books and articles, but increasingly actual articles and other sources are completely AI generated too. so a reference to a source might be “real,” but the source itself is complete AI slop bullshit
the actual danger of it all should be apparent, especially in any field related to health science research
and of course these fake papers are then used to further train AI, causing factually wrong information to spread even more
you can pretty much just read the headlines:

this is all ignoring their bricking of their own printers when you try to use 3rd party ink, though widespread enshittification is making that particular bullshit more common among different brands
i’m deeply skeptical of someone having done that much “research” and concluding that HP has to be the best option for any kind of hardware
imagine thinking you’re super cool because you bought a cybertruck, when in reality you’re a fucking punchline laughingstock to the rest of the world
the word “giveaway” implies he’s giving them something he already had-- no, he’s literally robbing the 99% in order to pay the 1%
“i am an alpha male!!!”
-weak insecure unreasonably over-sensitive males
LOL what? windows “fans”?
apple fans, i get. but who tf is cheerleading for fucking windows, and NOT getting paid to do so?
