Very true. Like, for instance, in the US, we all know how normal it is for a few guys to go down to the local reservation and set an Native American's house on fire, while the US army stands around waiting for the Native to react aggressively so he can be shot in the head.

@ViscResponse@isma_esito_@MediumSizeMeech If it’s any consolation in Spain, if you speak proper English and tone your accent down, some people will feel you are trying to hard and cringe too 🥹🔫
@ViscResponse@MediumSizeMeech As a native speaker I find it extra cringe every time I have to (mis)pronounce a Spanish word in English so that the American in front of me understands
@ViscResponse@MediumSizeMeech Oh god. So it’s the article LOS/LAS. Understood.
First time I went to LA as a Spaniard I genuinely struggled cause streets/places have Spanish names BUT the pronunciation is (to my ears) so unusual sometimes I’d struggle to connect what is said with signals or Google Maps
Axelrod: There are a lot of people who would like you to run for president in 2028. And there are others who would like you to run for the senate.
AOC: In this op-ed that Bezos paid for in The Washington Post, there was a veiled threat—it was the elite saying if you want this job, you just stepped out of line. What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.
the privilege to call italian life "slow" is so ironic. you are privileged to sit down and sip your coffee in comfort somewhere in italy because you are a wealthy man, not because you're in italy. dumbass
I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph.
I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them.
The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry.
And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children.
But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.
No. The measure of a civilization is how it treats its most downtrodden and disadvantaged, regardless of whether it is because of religion, race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic or immigration status. That may or may not be Jews. However you treat the most hated group in your society is the best measure of your morality.
