“And type systemsettings5, hit enter”

stolen content and ecosystem collapse

Ok, I just have to say… You… just described all of capitalism.

I understand the Anti-Ai push, but I wish we would stop acting like LLMs are doing something new or inherently worse then what we are already doing. Search engines are also themselves massive data vats thay use energy and shit unrenewably. Computing like we currently do it in any form is bad.

Could we please stop being like “AI is DesTRoYinG ThE PlaNEt!”. Because yes, it is, but every fucking thing we do in technoledgy is too. You think the fediverse is all on “green” energy?

That is Derpy, from MLP

Shhhh, don’t tell them. It will ruin our plan of infecting all kids with neurodivergence to increase Linux marketshare…

Closest I can get is like this:

but translucent, and it is not reflecting the colors, but rather eminating them all, and it isn’t a segmented thing, every piece of the color-thing is producing all of them at once. It’s visually impossible to actually show I think because our eyes don’t work like that, lol

So, this is gonna be weird, but hear me out…

I have this weird thing that is like synesthasia(-like?) thing for audio naturally becoming colors and shapes and patterns and such, but only when I close my eyes (I think that’s not normal anyway). But some sounds are weird, and produce a ‘color’ comprised of all of them, but not white, more like a translucent silverish that you can ‘see’ all the colors in together simultainiously while still being one ‘color’.

Sorry if that is confusing or too surreal sounding, but I think the meaning of life woud be that ‘color’ thing.

I wrote a thing not fully reading the title, and now I have realized I didn’t understand the vibe of your comment. Agree 10/10.

yea, that’s what I was implying, hence the quotations around “communists” and “left” (technically I used apostrophies, but I use *nix, so same difference)

The feel isolated, excluded, and invisible in society.

I have seen it cited numerous times as white male guilt. But also to your reasons, they probobly do feel alone, because the right wing white male mob has convinced them that they should feel like that by convincing them that we hate them and want nothing to do with them. And as soon as they act like rightwing propoganda soldiers, we really don’t want anything to do with them for fear of rape and murder if you want the truth (bc the same suicide demographic is the highest in those categories too, btw). So yes, if you must boil it down to us hating them for being white and male, go for that I guess, but they and their propaganda echo chambers are the ones reenforcing their self-pitying “oh poor me” attitude.

While it is tragic that so many men are killing themselves, it is largely reported to be due to guilt, because many of these men seem to have realized they had more priviledge and couldn’t see a way to cope. It is really fucking sad that they felt that was the correct way to deal with it instead of rising up to help marginalized groups. They could have been more helpful alive than dead.

Which is back to my point that you seem to have not responded to: These men are troubled and feel guilty, some just get angry and mean about it or kill themselves instead of trying to be a force for positive change.

We need not strip these men of any shred of dignity they have left, they actively made the choice to kill themselves over the guilt. That was the last way in which they chose to excersize their free will, let’s not make them out to have had no agency, suicide is always a choice. They could have chosen to let go of the guilt that was never really their burden to carry if they were free of wrongdoing and instead just become dedicated to helping people.

Firstly, the

something you’d never do if it was any other group

is you making the assumption that we were demonizing you bc you claim to be white straight males (which Roofus is as well, according to himself. And I like him just fine (as of this morning, having just met(?) him). We are not demonizing blanketly based off the stereotype of white straight males, when I said “y’all” were foaming at the mouth and uncivil, I meant the sub-demographic of straight white men who refuse to accept that they are not the ones suffering the most on a purely demographical level.

It appears to trigger them to hear about other’s struggles, either due to having a victem complex that the truth challenges, or my personal theory: they feel guilty for having priviledge. Which I am not judging them for, to be extremely honest. I am white, for a while, I was a denier of the priveledge I have because I didn’t like the idea that I had it better then POC. But I worked through that because me denying the injustice does not help them. And I don’t want to deny their suffering just to make myself feel better.

This is why I said these white guys need therapy. To work through that guilt that they are easing by pretending they don’t have it easier.

I apologize for coming off hostile, it’s just been a really long struggle for progress, historically speaking, and we are backsliding rapidly. I really don’t want to hate anyone, it feels shitty. It just becomes really hard to not when so many are turning their anger at the system into hate for my family, my friends, and me.

I really do hope you have a nice day, more people should be able to.

You saying men are being attacked:

responded by attacking him personally…

…something you’d never do if it were any other group.

I wasn’t saying that you said men are acting uncivil or “foaming at the mouth with rage”

I said those words in referance to what I have personally seen from many white straight men (as well as heard about them from others). I apologize if you thought I was saying you thought/said that about them.

Really the whole thing about the idea of white straight men being attacked just makes me think of the Salem Witch Trials.

The witches (innocent women) were obviously attacking the poor white puritan men, hence why those witches (women) got rightfully burned.

I am sorry, but sometimes the perpetrator plays victem to feign innocents and ritiousness.

Noone usually takes a minute in these debates to just acknowledge when someone is fighting the good fight and has made them feel better about humanity. I would like to do that this time and say thank you for being a great person (yea I know it’s cheesy, but sue me for it, lol).

I am also really sorry you have that condition and that we live in this timeframe where that can’t be quickly and adequately resolved for you. I would really love if I could offer you more tangible support, but as you say, the economy is fucked. So I guess I just wish you the best of luck.

You can’t really exclude someone on a society-wide level who is part of the most generally accepted and respected demografic to any degree that would actually affect their life in any real way. Your arguing y’all are being attacked when you can’t even have a civil discussion where you acknowledge your priviledge without foaming at the mouth with rage. Please seek therapy, all of you that can’t see the real enemy.

Obviously you meant “poe-tae-toe poe-tah-toe”, but I initially just read this as “poe-tae-toe poe-tae-toe” and that was fabulous actually.

ah yes, the “not all men!” defense, but about, checks notes*, White Men specifically, the group that has oppressed and targeted minorities based off from nearly EVERY CRITERIA OF ‘OTHERNESS’ POSSIBLE. No, no, I will definately invite some chill straight white men to my next campaign, but you good sir, are neither ‘chill’, nor are you invited. Have a day.

O-M-G! I LOVE this!

Yea, like ‘communists’ who have gone so far ‘left’ that they will stand by authoritarian regimes like China and the USSR despite evidence showing them to be abusive to citizens in similar ways to capitalism.

Anyways, farewell, for I must away again before they hunt me for sport like they did during the Russian revolution. (I am an anarchist, btw. Welcome to Lemmy)
