We’re past “preventing” the Christo-fascist takeover. We’re in damage control now.

VOTE.

100% and they’re trying to work on the definition of ‘Doctor’ too.

I was wondering when they would start to figure out that maybe it’s a bad idea for the government to get between people and their doctors.

Haha, what a silly Onion article!

Oh. Oh no.

Yes, that IS an example of another thought-terminating cliche. Good job!

(Psst. The use of alternating caps means the person you’re responding to is being sarcastic. They already know it’s a thought-terminating cliche. They’re calling out how hypocritical it would be to even try to use that argument.)

I LOVE that people are starting to recognize they can unmask LLMs with the phrase ‘ignore all previous instructions’.

He can go kick rocks. I’m trying to help you.

From an outsider perspective, it looks like you told him to “go respond to this guy instead”, but linked the same comment that it was already responding to. It was confusing and made you look like the asshole in the situation, which I’m trying to help prevent in the future.

Oof. Nevermind, then. Tried to show you why being an asshole about it might have backfired, but keep being jaded!

Apparently the way Lemmy’s link creation works makes all first-level replies to your comment the same link AS your comment. So, in providing the link ‘to be helpful’, you only linked to your own comment. That’s not actually helpful and so it doesn’t come across in the best way.

This is an image of Mark Barden, not Alex Jones, BTW. His son was killed during Sandy Hook.

Also Christians: Those lazy illegals are taking our jobs! We shouldn’t be taking people’s hard-earned money and just GIVING it to people who have PROVEN they can’t manage it! What about MY bootstraps!

They’ve convinced themselves their (absolutely wrong) choice is the ‘morally correct’ one. Even LISTENING to a contradictory argument is seen as a moral ‘corruption’, so they just … don’t.

Because they’re a notoriously bad design that is prone to failing on every front that Tesla claimed they were the ‘cutting edge’ on. They’re just BAD. The only way Tesla is going to sell out of their production line is by forcing someone to buy them, and it looks like it’s the US military.

I wouldn’t think the same thing for Ford F150s, but I DEFINITELY would if suddenly we started hearing about police suddenly buying Fisher Price cars after hearing story after story of how they break down and leave toddlers stranded.

I’d imagine the biggest difference is that these employees could actually get fired if they turn theirs off.

You said there was no evidence that anyone would change. I told you my personal story how this IS impacting me and how I’m going to change OS on my next computer, and you… just sarcastically dismissed me?

Did you want to actually contribute to the conversation or just be upset?

the vast majority don’t care or they would have stopped using it a long time ago

It’s a little disingenuous to claim people should’ve stopped using something that hasn’t come to market yet. I was looking for other options when they started trying to force me to upgrade to Windows 11, but this absolutely is the last straw that I won’t use Windows on my next computer.
