92·2 days agoNot feature complete, needs to be tied with a RNG to determine when TARIFF ON and TARIFF OFF
9·2 days ago:( I just want alien overlords already got damnit
The president of El Salvador is a pure blooded MAGAt, idolizes Trump and will absolutely do anything for him
31·4 days agoso happy for liberals on the internet to finally have their own thought terminating cliche in “tankies”, the jealousy for “woke” must have been overwhelming
Lol how nice you can just label any word you don’t like as a “thought terminating cliche” or was it just an “Ill defined term” or was it just because “authoritarianism is ill defined”
In any case I used it to describe a group of people who are quite literally authoritarian as described here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
insomuch as USAID was a tool for exerting soft power by lifting up global communities and spreading goodwill for America through humanitarian effort, I support what it was, I didn’t want to see it gutted. insomuch as China is exerting soft power by building infrastructure and investing in industry, it’d be nice to see the US exert a little soft power against us citizens from time to time.
Yes, similar goals, differing execution
Are you talking about China’s belt and road initiative? Lol it’s all about soft power and that’s what they’re after, resources are just a happy bonus.
The US’s USAID is essentially the equivalent but yet the tankies will deride against it all day and even cheer Drump and Muskrat on because they’re doing something they want (dismantling it) but in the same breath, will defend Belt and Road as some greater altruistic good
Oh yea, replacing a near-authoritarian globally dominant country with another full-authoritarian country. What could possibly go wrong!
Sorry for the misunderstanding, this was a crosspost, I didn’t generate it. But image searching shows a few matches elsewhere, so I doubt who I crossposted it from generated it either
thing to draw is being delegated to Ai (corporations).
But, not all AI is corporate run, there’s plenty of AI models to choose from that are open source including image generation models
And actually, image generation models are much easier to run on “affordable” consumer hardware than LLMs
Well which one is this one? (This was a crosspost so I don’t know lmao)
I tagged them last year as a “FUD/Misinfo spreader”, every encounter with them has an 80% chance of reinforcing the tag lol
In a town painted Red, not so far away, Lived the Projecters who had much to say. PROJECTING their faults with the greatest of ease, PROJECTING their guilt like a strange heart disease!
“Those blues over there are the ones who are bad! They do all the things that make everyone sad!” But the truth of the matter, quite funny to see, They were PROJECTING exactly what they happened to be!
When caught with their hands in the cookie display, “It’s the Blues who eat cookies!” they would hastily say PROJECTING their actions with thunderous noise, Using PROJECTION as one of their favorite toys!
Oh, the PROJECTING they did was a sight to behold, The stories theyd spin and the tales that were told! PROJECTING their fears and their schemes on the rest, While doing those things they PROJECTED with zest!
And would they admit it? Oh no, not at all! They’d PROJECT even harder and stand very tall. For PROJECTING protects them from looking within At the truth of their actions, their very own sin!

I bet you haven’t even bothered to cut back on your avocado toast
Nah, for one, that “cross-posted from” thing is dumb AF when there’s a dedicated UI button/link that automatically shows when a link is detected elsewhere on the Lemmy-verse.
That’s how you end up with cluttered posts like:
Cross-posted from:

For two, I’m cross-posting content from .ml comms to the nearest non-.ml comm as part of ongoing boycotting efforts to reduce .ml’s influence to make defederation an easier decision for admins everywhere because of the .ml admins insistence to push their Tankie ideology through various means from censorship of views critical of Authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China to allowing propaganda outlets (such as RT) to flourish
Adding a low-friction link like that runs counter to that.
This was a crosspost, didn’t realize it was a modified headline, though considering where I’m cross-posting it from I really should be more mindful of such things LMAO
Fixed
The headlines tomorrow: “Upper class soccer moms and MILFs everywhere rioting! SAVE YOURSELVES!”
So she would at least be able to answer that with something like “No. I actively condemn the human rights abuses by North Korea and <insert whatever list of pseudo-communist fascist regimes get spewed>. What I do not condemn are government programs to assist those in need and…”
You have been banned from Lemmy․ml
Actually, it was making the rounds on tiktok as early as the 29th from what I could tell
