What do we even do about this? Immigration is a moral and economic good, but a large swathe of people in Western countries are just too eager to be racist to see that.
I don't know a good way to argue against that if they can't receive the hard facts or the moral benefit
Yeah I'm more distinctly against the way AI companies have just taken anything and everything to train their models without consent or compensation.
AI/machine learning on distinct, owned datasets is really cool, effective stuff, but that's not going to deliver what techbros want to hype
AI is already eating itself, amazing
lmao Google's AI is eating itself already -- telling you how much glue to put on pizza, citing a @katienotopoulos.bsky.social Business Insider article about Google's AI telling people to put glue on pizza

This is really cool, Boston area folks check it out

YMCA relaunches free summer membership for every teen in Boston
The YMCA is providing free memberships for Bostonians ages 13-19 as a part of their "Get Summer" initiative.
www.boston.comLiterally the first two influences mentioned by the people making Star Wars in the DVD special features I watched as a kid! Like, that's how I first heard of Kirosawa
Yep, they sure do, and they will fight you when you simply tell them the truth
No, I know, there's enough people out there dumb enough to fall for that kind of thing.
The problem is, once you start to acknowledge that, there's no way to fight it. Anyone dumb enough to worry about expensive beef over the climate also won't receive an education.
I swear, I thought people were just shit posting all day, the fact that this is real is wild
and I eat beef! Maybe just cuz I grew up kinda poor, but yeah, beef is expensive! It should be!
I know they will, and I truly can't understand that being a meaningful position. I'd actively taunt anyone who brings up cheap beef being more important than the climate in conversation.
And again, I know this probably isn't helpful, but come on it's just such a childish understanding of the world.
This is the kind of nerd I am: I don't care about any other news out of WWDC but iPhones *finally* getting RCS support.
My iPhone-bound friends will finally be able to receive and send decent photos and video! They'll stop breaking group texts!

Apple says iPhones will support RCS in 2024
The blue versus green bubble debate may not be as bad.

It probably doesn't help that my response is "so what?"
These people are babies and we can and should ignore them. Their desire for cheap beef doesn't outweigh the fact that we are warming the planet and making it inhospitable for billions
It would genuinely be a lot less stressful to just become a huge mark
Yet again we see, if you think two words are equally bad, and you won't even say one of the words, that's the worse word
I have a friend who tried to get us to all watch this in college and *none* of us were into it but them.
"the night it aired" is the key cuz I mean, come on, who has seen that sketch and not died laughing
I ripped every song from my dad's extensive CD collection to our computer to populate my MP3 player
Reskeet with how old you are, using a vague proxy:
I still buy songs on the iTunes Store
Biden should just campaign with a run of bringing Jaws back to theaters
Every day the violence has continued beyond the first ceasefire deal is 100% Israel's responsibility
Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur to Palestine, said that Israeli and allegedly foreign soldiers were “perfidiously hiding in an aid truck” during the hostage rescue operation.
If true, and I imagine Albanese wouldn’t say this lightly, that’s absolutely perfidy - a serious war crime.
Oh no that is even worse
I guess writing over 200 palestinians were killed to save four hostages and that they also killed some of the hostages AND that they dressed as humanitarian aid workers to do this (allegedly) is not fit for a summary
Yeah that's awesome. There were a lot of really nice open and affirming churches in Boston's pride parade today too, but like, no time to *talk*. That's really good they're offering it out your way
I dated a girl whose parents immigrated from India for a while and her brother tried really hard to explain cricket to me multiple times. It just couldn't click
Maybe this will do it
Man, I could genuinely use that. I still have a lot of respect for my Methodist upbringing but the "non-denominational" church we went to for a bit turned me off Christianity entirely
Honestly, same, the internet is going back to its original form: many little pockets of weirdos hanging out.
I like it
I know I'm more of a Mastodon person at heart, but I enjoy being around shitposters more
Wait so for this format it's literally just score - response and that's the whole game?
Cairn, Wanderstop, and Civ 7 look cool too. That bean things looks weird
I get that Tim Robinson's whole deal isn't for everyone (my wife included) but dear god is he funny to me
