I think white ppl (i’m one of them) should get over themselves. We’ve been the bad guys of history and we need to face it and correct course. It’s not written in our fate, it’s in settler colonial ideology and capitalism. We can adopt a new

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. Real history is much more persuasive. US elites love patriotic history and try to enforce it in schools.

social conditions are deteriorating so people are reaching for alternative explanations. you want people to reach for true history? then you have to show them true history will benefit them. fortunately, there is a way to do this, but power

What if the concept of art was like a gun?

tbh i not a huge fan of copyright, but it is crazy that OpenAI is allowed to privatize the results of training on a significant fraction of media produced by humans let alone a technology that was produced over a long duration in great part

That's true, but you're basically just describing kitch. That's what most people make, and often they are happy with it. I agree that more effort and thought will produce a piece they will be happier with and feel a sense of

tbh i think it's a good thing when people can make art in a style they love. most people make kitsch, that's ok. people who study will make stuff that reaches the emotional and intellectual heights of the best. it does make me une

Given that SARS2 affects cognition negatively, I would expect schools with universal air filtration to have larger improvements than we would have expected prior.

If they target someone unsymathetic, they won't get plaudits. Simple.

I think the author can decide how they wish to present their work

One strategy that wasn't mentioned: submit your work to a magazine. Distribution is everything. It is very difficult to self-promote.

I mean, I guess it did peak in 2008, and also in the S&L scandal in the 80s, but still bitcoin serves no conceivable practical purpose. At least CDOs in principle were supposed to get people homes even if they were mostly a scam.

Perhaps novels should be written in the inverted triangle format.

The articles were intended for you to read. If you find them annoying, maybe they weren't written for you.

It's crazy how America is just devolving into an interlocking set of ever more obvious financial scams.

The blockade of the red sea is a humanitarian operation that is fulfilling yemen's obligations under international law. Genocide prevention rises above all other obligations including the protection of commerce. The united states is fa

They should add one then, because the operation described is illegal under international law and should not have been executed. They are punishing Yemen for resisting the US backed Israeli genocide in Gaza. It is ghastly.

Of course, if you have more satellites or faster imaging speeds you can use higher resolution images.

It's pretty natural to want to not feel alienated from nature and other human beings. The specific form of this fantasy is a little bit fantastical though.

i thought you were gonna say something about boomers sharing the most detatched from reality posts about politics you've ever seen in your lifetime, but instead you appear to just be anti-social

It would be cool if any of our parties would give a fuck about how any of us are doing, but they don't. The communist party is supposed to be in tune with the people, and you can only do that by being with the people to understand what

don’t immediately assume that openai and anthropoic are being better citizens just because they label some of their bots. the american companies are more likely to be extremely aggressive bc they will feel no consequences for their actions.

Regan and Clinton already cut everything to the bone (aside from the military), so everything Doge is doing is just gimmicks to justify going after important programs like medicaid and social security because the conservative project is to
