So this one isn’t necessarily about the poverty and struggle, but it definitely feels like a character in the life of the main protagonist: Blue Ruin

(action/suspense film, but mc lives in a car)

You can swear on here. Stop censoring memes, it’s fucking dumb.

I’m a bit paranoid about neighbors stealing it. I live in a place where most people vote the way I do, but I’m still anxious about people just being assholes, or thinking I look like a conservative (I get it, I kinda do) even though I’m not.

I still mail mine in though, I just try to put it in my mailbox an hour before the carrier is gonna arrive to pick it up. Plus, I am subscribed to an email system that tells me when they get it.

I’m ambivalent about this in some ways but what you’re suggesting is compatible with what I would ask from them. If they’re going to have a central directory, moderate that directory: that’s one instance. Let others put up their own directories and moderate those; those are just additional instances. If the tech can be deployed to multiple instances, then it’s federated by default.

I didn’t say I wanted capitalism and American neoliberals, I said I wanted moderation or I won’t put my identity and work and face next to people who want me dead. The app you’re on, the community you’re posting this comment in have moderation. Do you think the mods who receive reports about this thread are the Saudi government?

Cancel culture isn’t real, grow up. The people who made the term up want you to demand that all conversations be treated equally, that all viewpoints should be able to shout down all other viewpoints until the internet is full of trash and we’re all completely isolated. That’s how fascism works: piss and shit into the discourse until nobody wants it any more. That is why X is becoming trash: because the person who owns it made it his first priority to start shitting into every progressive conversation until none of them wanted to be there any more. Taking away the ability to block and deplatform people SUPPRESSES minority voices, because that environment only rewards whoever shouts the loudest, and if you have a majority on the platform, you are shouting the loudest.

Everywhere is “beholden” to some person or organization that made the place and controls it. The stream directory of this app is already beholden to the people who put it up; their lip-service code of conduct suggests they don’t want to platform nazis. The only thing I’m complaining about is that they aren’t taking any concrete steps to ensure they’re kept out.

The whole thing is dumb if you accept a premise of “infinite monkeys”. An infinite number of monkeys will type the works of shakespeare immediately, because an infinite number of them will start with the very first key they hit and continue until the end. (So it’ll be complete exactly as fast as a monkey can type it, typing as fast as simianly possible, with no mistakes.) You don’t even need the infinite time.

It only becomes interesting if you look at the finite scenarios.

And BTW, the lifespan of the universe is finite due to the eventual decay of all matter, including the monkeys and the typewriters. There’s no infinite time.

What about moderation or controls over the directory? I don’t want to host a stream and be published next to nazis. Is anyone keeping them out? I do see a sort of lip-service “no tolerance” statement with no details about what fits that criteria and no claims of active moderation; without those two things it’s toothless and the whole place is at risk of nazi bar syndrome.

Another way that works is just to catch them on a downward tangent to their current fall trajectory, but rapidly slowing down and then turning back up. It means your scenario has to have enough vertical space to perform this maneuver, but not necessarily a lot–even a very small downward deceleration will turn death into bruises, because it’s like falling into padding.

I keep seeing people call it “X, the Everything App” and ngl it’s funny every single time

When I saw what community this article is posted in I almost choked.

None of these things are true? OP is a dumbfuck.

• It’s not communism. There is simply no scarcity, and therefore no need to manage distribution of resources.
• Federation officers are bound by the dress requirements of the job they freely chose. They are shown, many times, deciding to quit that life and do something else instead, and are usually supported for doing so. (This act is almost always accompanied by an immediate change in the way they dress.) Anyone not working for the Federation is shown wearing whatever tf they want; as are federation officers when they’re off-duty.
• Food is synthetic but you’re certainly not required to eat it, and characters are shown craving it for how good it is, so it’s CLEARLY not flavorless. Many of voyager’s subplots revolve around having more replicator rations, or getting more.
• “Free will is forbidden” ok did you just make this up while you were jerking yourself off?
• “All humans are automatons” this must have been something you shouted as you came

Is it? If ChatGPT wrote your paper, why would citations of the work of Frankie Hawkes raise any red flags unless you happened to see this specific tweet? You’d just see ChatGPT filled in some research by someone you hadn’t heard of. Whatever, turn it in. Proofreading anything you turn in is obviously a good idea, but it’s not going to reveal that you fell into a trap here.

If you went so far as to learn who Frankie Hawkes is supposed to be, you’d probably find out he’s irrelevant to this course of study and doesn’t have any citeable works on the subject. But then, if you were doing that work, you aren’t using ChatGPT in the first place. And that goes well beyond “proofreading”.

The missing words are “shitty” and “fucking”, btw. I feel like we’re getting crap posts like this from bots that aren’t willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots’ output. Either way, I’m tired of it.

This is exactly what it is. When everything you believe is made up, it’s easy to accidentally make up the wrong number and then believe that instead.

I’m mostly just impressed at whoever came up with a plausible-looking and fairly professional icon for it.

if it’s the latter, just get it in writing.
