Great suggestion Shapiro. Have every working class young American immigrate elsewhere and watch your infrastructure die as nobody replaces the existing workers…

I have no doubt Shapiro is saying this full well knowing that if they can’t afford to live in the US, they definitely can’t afford to leave. He gets to puff his chest out like he’s a big man with nobody to take his bluff.

Yeah… Leaked… Definitely not any kind of insider trading or something like that. Trump’s government has neeeeever been linked to anything like thaaaat.

Exactly. It’s not exactly like the right-wing hide their distain for all people of the LGBT spectra.

It’s the classic “but I’m one of the good ones” trope. There’s no such thing, just tokens to be used and tossed away.

No matter how much you try to be a “good one”, you’ll never truly be accepted amongst those who hate your kin. Once you’ve outlived your usefulness, they’ll eat your face just like everyone else.

You can use an alternate frontend for Reddit though - such as “https://safereddit.com/”

But obviously you then have to trust that frontend to not be spying on you too.

Exactly. Its classic misdirection.

Our intentionally addictive and predatory design isn’t the problem, it’s the youngsters using it, that’s the real problem.

The reality is that worldwide governments are itching for more surveillance powers, and big tech always want less accountability - so age verification is perfect for both of them, and even allows them to spin the “what about the children” angle (despite the fact that an increasing number of these powerful people are being revealed as pedos)

Exactly this. Gives basically no help to his “allies”, yet expect their full coordination and support.

Like no mate, we’re not going to help you in a completely unnecessary war you started in Iran (to distract from you being a pedo), because we’re still busy helping Ukraine survive a war they didn’t start and you more or less abandoned cause Putin asked you to.

I was going to say that my impression of the Chinese people is dogmatic collectivism.

The State before the individual, and anyone who disagreed left or was taken care of a long time ago.

Let me fix that for you:

POV: The U.S. is spending billions undoing the effects of a not-war Trump started to distract from his increasingly poor PR in relation to the Epstein files…

To be fair, there’s a whole lot of difference between defacing a banknote vs. rendering it unfit for issue.

In any case, cause of how often it changes hands, and how little supervision its under, it’d be very difficult to actually identify who defaced a specific note - especially if you’ve git a whole bunch of people doing it to a whole bunch of notes

Honestly. It feels like some people have become so dependent on LLMs that they’ll ask them to solve the even most basic of questions.

Our bodies evolved on a “use it or lose it” basis, and like every other muscle in our bodies, the brain is not immune to this…

If you let your brain sit idle while passing on such simple tasks to AI, the neuronal pathways for these tasks will weaken to the point you’ll have to relearn them from scratch.

These AI companies want this to happen. They want more and more people to become dependent, so that once they decide to rug pull you with the true cost, you’ll have no choice but to pay up because you can’t cope without it. This is true not just for humans but even entire industries as a whole, who have very keenly taken to replacing humans with it.

Its hard to say if there was ever an modern “age” of science, so much as it is a major component of all our most recent ages for the last couple of centuries.

I’d find it hard not to argue that the scientific method was pivotal to the industrial revolution, the electric age, the atomic age, and the informational age we’re in now (although some would argue we’re in the enshitification age).

Exactly. It’s the same reason they’re being forced into new cars despite the fact that an awful lot of people don’t like them

Was about to say, pot calling the kettle black much?

Trump’s administration doing something blatantly corrupt in the open and getting away with it completely… colour me shocked.

Understand there will be no justice. Even if Trump is kicked out, those with the power to go after him and his cronies simply won’t at this point.

Honestly I agree. Getting banned is one thing (is getting banned from furry content that much of a loss), but the literal trash talking in their comments (knowing you can’t respond) is plain childish.

If you’re gonna insult someone, grow a spine and do it where they can punch back.

On the off chance this isn’t just a joke and never happened, in theory they had to have eaten the exact same dish each time, but requested removal of a single ingredient, and are now down to the last two eliminations?

The only problem with this method being they’re going in with the assumption that a single ingredient is causing the issue, when it could be multiple or all of the ingredients - or even a result of poor hygiene from the person preparing these pokes.

For myself, it’s gaming consoles that I already own. Why go for the brand new when the things I already own not only still work - but have more functionality than they ever did before thanks to their respective modding scenes?

Hell, just in 2025 the Xbox 360 got it’s first software exploit that works on all models - which was thought to be basically impossible outside of very limited scenarios like the King Kong Exploit…

Forget soldering, forget RGH and JTAG - you can now have an almost cold-boot modded 360 with just a USB and 30-60 minutes of your time (and that’s not even counting the full cold-boot exploit teased by Grim Doomer on twitter).

If you’ve got the right console, you could be sitting on a goldmine of fun right now and never know it until you try.

X argued that if content creators are permitted to sue AI platforms when people use their technology to violate copyright law, the tech companies would “have no choice but to constrain their actions” to avoid the potential liability.

Would’ve been nice to have a win for the average person that didn’t also vicariously benefit AI companies, but that won’t be today.

Well I don’t know about eating babies, but when they say fuck the poor, I doubt they’re being just metaphorical

The problem with pointing out contradictory points of view to the right wing is that they largely don’t care. These arguments are ultimately just dog whistles and plausible deniability towards their real ends.

They’ll argue parent’s right when the parents agree with them, then trample those same rights when they don’t - and won’t even blink because parent’s rights wasn’t the goal, it was the elimination of Trans kids, which both points are consistent with.
