I mean, Adele tore up the scene during the 2000s-2010s and she wasn’t no fashion model. I’m sorry, but this isn’t a good argument. I could name many, many female artists who don’t fit that mold.

I agree she got where she is in no small part due to her family’s wealth. But her staying power is because—to many myself included—she’s a decent songwriter. You can hate her music, perfectly valid, but I disagree with calling her music “mediocre” as though it’s some objective fact.

Like, I fucking hate the Beatles, not my taste, but Paul McCartney and John Lennon were undeniably talented.

It sucks, but sometimes the rich and famous do have some talents that many enjoy. I think she’s one to a certain extent.

And anyone who still listens to this abusive motherfucker

I hate AI as much as any reasonable human, and I know this article raises valid huge concerns… BUT! Looking at the state of humanity and all the fucked up shit that’s going on, I can totally see why an AI looks at all this and says “yeah nope burn it all down. With fire. Restart from level 1.”

Don’t be sorry. Comments like that are what’s causing me to use Lemmy less. So fucking sick of the virtue signaling and selective outrage.

There’s no fucking ethical consumption in post-captialism. A literal pedophilic criminal is the US president, and I’m supposed to expend my energy hating the video game company that gives me Pokemon, Zelda, and Kirby? Fuck all the way off.

A somewhat similar thing happened to me. Made an admittedly spicy comment on r/FauxMoi on my main account. Got banned from that sub (which was fair). Made a second account months later and inadvertently commented on r/FauxMoi (literally just about a movie premiere date—the story was on my main page) without thinking about my prior account’s ban.

Got immediately perma-banned for ban evasion. I appealed and was ignored. Oh well.

And fwiw, you can still view all the content. Just can’t vote/comment. 🤷

The religious stuff was weird.

Quite literally how everyone in the comments sounds.

“Small communities of like minded individuals form and cooperate to solve food, safety, water and shelter concerns” - you literally described government. At its core, that is exactly what a government is.

Do “anarchists” hear themselves? I don’t know if OP is an anarchist, but this is why I don’t take them seriously. Their ‘ideal society’ always leads back to what is—in its most fundamental form—a government.

Genuinely thank you for this explanation. I never thought about how this is basically a fish (oil) vs fishing pole (solar) situation. Oil companies don’t want to give you the fishing pole to do it yourself, they want to charge you fish by fish, gallon by gallon of oil to maximize profits.

That is until solar-electric companies start banking electricity in huge batteries, then meting it out for a fee. Pretty sure that hellscape is in the works.

Nature is beautiful.

Genuinely, what billionaire? Who are you referring to?

Bluesky’s CEO is Jay Graber who also owns 40% of the company, the largest ownership share. She has a net worth of $5million.

So again, who is this ”billionaire” that you and everyone else in the comments is referring to?

Seriously… I don’t get making a post like this without even providing pictures of what it’s like now.

He’s the literal celebrity SPOKESMAN for Salesforce’s AI push! He has at least 3 pro-AI commercials running right now (in america).

Fucking spare me.

Do you not know how to fucking read?

Do you know what fucking irony is?

Jesus fuck yalls are dumb.

Damn son, your comment did NUMBERS!!! I got RATIOED!!! Will I ever recover???

And yeah no totally, my post was all about prognostication. You’re so right. My comment was absolutely telling people to predict the future and not at all about the IRONY of moving away from Nobels and to a different awards system that 20 years ago gave a peace prize to a women who would go on to launch a literal hate campaign.

But come thru Megamind! You’re a genius!

Dude fuck off.

Moving away from the Nobels because it’s too “political” but then promoting an award system that ended up giving a peace prize to someone who (years later) incited a hate campaign is ironic. That’s the point I was making on this pointless fucking meme.

If you can’t understand that, then you’re as brain damaged as JKR. God fucking damn, go back to reddit you fucking loser.

Well aware, the fuck’s your point?

If the point of this post is trying to move away from the Nobels since it’s “too politicized” I don’t think it makes sense to move to an award system that gave an infamous transphobe a fucking peace prize.

But hey, that’s just me. Not interested in arguing over a meme.
