You must have never dealt with Chinese tourists. It’s not racism as much as directly observable behaviour of many Chinese tourists, especially towards other Asians or black people. It shouldn’t be surprising that many people in mainland China are radicalised, and it comes as no surprise that’s how they behave outside their country.

It’s because the incompetent PM made the visa free for mainland Chinese. It’s going to get a lot worse in Thailand.

The culture is the problem and the CCP insistent on keeping outdated traditions and social values keeps them in the past. China cultural values went to shit ever since the cultural revolution and the government has done nothing to better it, only doubling down and adding more problematic beliefs. There were needs to be selfish and to deceive for survival, but with the kind of government the CCP is instead of that slowly going away after the worst is over you have that continue to be ingrain into future generations to the point it becomes an identity. Then add the contemporary dose of propaganda and the sudden increase in progress and you have the superiority complex.

Do you always remember things as is? Or do you remember an abstraction of it?

You also don’t need to know everything about something to be able to interpret risks and possibilities, btw.

Makes it harder to do protests like the ones before.

Photoshop is a general purpose image editting tool that is mostly harmless. That’s not the same for AI. The people who created them and allow other people to use them do so anyway without enough consideration to the risks they know is much much higher than something like Photoshop.

What you say applies to photoshop because the devs know what it can do and the possible damage it can cause from misuse is within reasons. The AI you are talking about are controlled by the companies that create them and use them to provide services. It follows it is their responsibility to make sure their products are not harmful to the extend they are, especially when the consequences are not fully known.

Your reasoning is the equivalent of saying it’s the kids fault for getting addicted to predatory mobile games and wasting excessive money on them. Except that it’s not entirely their fault and programs aren’t just a neutral tool but a tool that is customised to the wills of the owners (the companies that own them). So there is such a thing as an evil tool.

It’s all those companies, and the people involved, as well as law makers responsiblity to make the new technology safe with minimal negative impacts to society rather than chase after their own profits while ignoring the moral choices.

The economy will be great again because some dumb country will sure to wage war for resources eventually in a selfish attempt to make things better for themselves short term while making everyone including themselves die even faster. And we all know how much America loves taking advantage of war to sell weapons!

I’d love to see those who disagree with his statement answer the question “when is a good time to not vote for educated leaders?” that applies more than 0.01% of the time.

Even religious people shouldn’t disagree with it. If you want someone with religious background in then you want them to be educated in matters to do with that religion. That they themselves don’t consider that education is telling.

Let me tell you an anecdote. I’m Asian and grew up in an Asian country. When I was studying abroad there’s a time when my American friends were watching a Japanese drama series. I was the one asking them throughout the watch session who’s who because I couldn’t tell the actors’ faces apart.

I think it’s still better than Lemmy where many of the top posts are from several days ago, when it’s clear from Kbin there are enough content it doesn’t have to be like that.

I don’t think this question is that different from asking whether a cat ever wonder why a dog might want to play with it. A cat probably assume something, which might not even be the same as another cat. It probably also depends on their personality and experience. Kind of like how humans often assume certain things without thinking about it too deeply, like the motivation of another person, even if that assumption is wrong.

Haha, yea. I don’t think you can make people coordinate that much unless it’s bots.

Let me guess, NFT or something blockchain related.

Why is it being deprecated? I thought it’s a major income for them.

It was already planned to end. The canvas wide FUCK SPEZ! has nothing to do with it. It was actually coordinated because they know it’s ending. The white FUCK SPEZ! is only done during the white out, where to get the canvas deleted to blank (which also happened last year), users are only able to add greyscale tiles and eventually just white. There were plenty of other fuck Spez messages and art, and some were censored like the guillotine or when the name Steve Huffman was used directly, but this wasn’t one of them.

The abusive relationship is with Reddit, not the community they moderate. A more accurate analogy is tolerating the abusive person because you don’t want to completely lost contact with many other people you care about just because of that one guy who they’re still friend with. The answer then become less clear cut than just cut off the toxic person. It becomes a question of when the abusive person becomes toxic enough that even the prospect of keeping in touch with other people you care about isn’t worth it any more. That is going to be different for everyone and there’s no right answer as it completely depends on the person. It is still possible that someone misjudge and they’d be better off leaving earlier, but what that earlier point is still has to be decided first according to their own circumstances.

To illustrate my point. Some people believe it’s the right thing to do to leave Reddit much earlier than this year, such as when they let /r/the_donald operated freely. In this case here because you decided to stay until 1-2 months ago, you are also part of the problem that “stayed and helped Reddit build Reddit”.

I think this post simplified the situation in a way that misrepresented the motivation of some moderators.

It’s a subscription, you’re telling me you’re willing to keep paying just for the icon? And not a cheap one for what it’s worth either.

For the purpose of this question, slow throughout. Also has to be something that can universally agreed as being slow, otherwise we’re going to have to discuss at what point songs stop being fast or slow. I might as well throw in the word mellow to really push it.

Many parts in Asia, including Japan (mentioning this specifically because it’s probably the easiest to find if you want to try). They are pretty delicious.

This is how they usually look btw. You can usually find them with different kinds of sauces depending on the cuisine it comes from. The texture is like a more chewy cross between scallop and octopus.

Plants are alive.
