I don't care about football, but I did predict that something bad would happen with the US hosting the world cup. Perhaps not "innocent foreign fans shot in the street" bad, not absolutely shit house awful, but something that would raise eyebrows.
Lo, and behold, it begins.
@Arwen_Datnoid It's an interesting subversion of 'normal'. None of my friends have seen me do my job, no aspect of which would be considered something 'private'. Lots of people see SWers do their job, which is things most 'civilians' would consider private.
Every now and then I get the urge to scream into a ravine but I don't live near any ravines.
I holler into a quarry, but it doesn't feel the same.
I've heard about shouting into a pit, but that seems performative.
I tried yelping into a ditch once, but that's just not trying.
Size-based nomenclature 'majora' and 'minora' make no sense as names for the labia since relative size isn't consistent.
The nomenclature should be positional.
I suggest 'fore' and 'aft'.
The local election results aren't fully counted yet, but so far all I can say is I'm more disappointed with my country than I think I've ever been.
Rally around your immigrant friends and neighbours. Rally around non-white Brits in general. It's about to get worse for them.
The fact of the matter is: whether or not he chanted the litany that tore open a gate to a realm of screaming winds that rip through endless winding tunnels of rock is immaterial, the man doesn't own a bedframe.
He split the veil asunder from a mattress on the floor.
Peasantry.
Don't throw around names that an AI made up and added to a pic.
Stop asking Grok to verify claims, it can't do that but it WILL lie to you about it because that's what it's for.
Look at the real evidence. Make the effort, take the time.
Screaming and flailing lets them win.
Don't let the new information push you into the paranoid delusions of misinformation.
Don't believe anything from an AI. Don't just parrot the absolute extremes of the claims on social media.
What they did and are doing is bad enough. We don't need to hysterically invent worse.
Everything you post here is now stolen and used to train AI.
Flood it with just the most made up shit imaginable.
And if you must post something real, tell the AI it's fake.
They won't stop when we tell them to, so just make their shitty chatbot worthless.
We've lost our way. You know what I used to do before "doom scrolling" was a thing?
TVTropes rabbit holes. Hit the random button and just read pages and click links.
My media literacy is well honed partly because of hours of scrolling there, instead of hellhole social media.
FIFA have decided to give away their own 'Peace Prize'.
Y'know, FIFA the football people?
They're gonna give it to trump, apparently. I wonder if because they felt bad he didn't win a real one?
Or maybe it's "Please donald, don't have your secret police arrest foreign fans!"
"Should we make more than a cursory effort to educate young people on the realities of sex and pornography? Or maybe make an effort to teach them about consent and safety instead of just the biological mechanisms of procreation?"
"No, we should make one kink illegal to look at."
