  • Lol!

    You’re the one who juxtaposed the activists, MLK, and Jesus, not me. I even said you weren’t doing it in good faith. Don’t try to flip your own bullshit on me.

    I never criticized anyone working hard to shed light on injustice. I have neither claims on what is “the right way” to do activism, nor accolades for my wondrous successes. I’m not whining or complaining about anyone doing actual work or trying their best to achieve actual results.

    Your calls for me to prove what I never claimed ring hollow, but your silence on the proven effectiveness of your superior and enlightened methods screams loudly and reverberates far.

    Almost as far as the chasm between your claim that you don’t support genocide and your actions which appear to consist entirely of chastising anyone who takes steps to fight against genocide because “they’re doing it wrong”

    The only wrong way to fight fascism and genocide is not to fight at all. But you’re going even further, you fight against those who do fight. Which is to say, you fight on the side of those who are committing genocide.


  • I don’t think that comparison is in good faith. That being said Jesus and MLK DID achieve results, which proves their views on activism are both effective.

    You argue your views on activism are valid, and even superior to MLK’s views and yet you have nothing to show for it. Your unqualified armchair quarterback opinions aren’t worth the storage space they use up.

    The activists are fighting for something they believe in, they’re doing it in a way that’s effective enough that you’re here commenting about it. I’m not going to sit here and criticize their efforts while doing nothing. That’s just supporting the status quo which, in case you haven’t noticed, is genocide.

    AI isn’t a person. It’s just a bunch of numbers that get multiplied with an input.

    To make those numbers a real person steals everyone’s art and find out which set of numbers best copies that art.

    It’s pure theft, if you only feed it a few comics it will recreate them as perfectly as a photocopier. The magic is that if you feed it enough art it’s copies become less authentic to the original (although sometimes still almost identical) so people feel like it’s an “artist making new art” instead of a broken copy machine. Then you slap a name like “AI Model” on the copyright infringement machine and you can sell a subscription for 30$/month so any moron can copyright infringe. Best part is they take the liability!

    What a great money making deal, and you can kill the environment all at the same time!






  • From the first:

    This is the first documented case of Klingsor syndrome related to psilocybin, in which a psychologically disturbed person self-inflicts harm on their genitals. Plus the dude was already messed up and an alcoholic.

    The second guy was on ADHD meds and hypertension meds:

    Although some might be tempted to draw broad conclusions from this single case, it is important to understand the nature and role of case reports in medicine. Case reports are detailed descriptions of unusual or novel clinical events involving one patient. They do not establish cause and effect or generalize to larger populations.

    It’s pretty common advice not to mix drugs unless you know what you’re doing, which is something that happened in both cases.

    But the point is your “warning” is the same as telling someone about to drive or fly about the worst accident on their mode of transportation. It’s just a paranoid thought (and a dick move), not a reflection of reality.



  • That doesn’t sound right. How can you guarantee zero fly/fruit fly eggs in something like orange juice with pulp. Fly eggs are tiny and can be found on fresh fruit skins even on the trees. Certain juices preclude the kind of filtration that could be used to achieve 100% fruit fly egg removal. I don’t know anything about European food regulations, but from a practical perspective it seems impossible to guarantee ZERO fruit fly egg contamination. Especially considering Europe tends to be more flexible with insects in food than the US such as Casu martzu.

    I suspect if there really is no max insect parts limit, there is a procedural requirement that ensures contamination is kept low.
