Meanwhile if any of these people try to escape this oppression by migrating anywhere they’ll get treated like terrorists

Also, you won’t see the drone

The problem is the lack of debate. This team think that makes every idea from the other side stupid by default. A parliamentary system will fail when people stop talking to each other.

Somewhat agreed, but there are a few things that really need to be behind debate (human caused climate change, the need for universal healthcare and universal human rights, the efficacy of vaccines, etc.). Some political organization is a good thing.

“But first, Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35”

Except in the current disorganized world we always just end up with one or two superpowers bullying the little governments and crushing all kinds of diversity anyway.

Also,

You can move to a country with less oppressive laws

That might work for the crafty and well-resourced individual who has a go bag and good OpSec and can actually hop borders and keep their heads down, but that sort of thing is nearly impossible for, like, a single parent working for a crap hourly wage, or an unhoused person dealing with an extended mental health crisis, or other more vulnerable people. Justice shouldn’t depend on geography.

I see an arm beneath the hand, wrist is on the right side of it from our perspective and elbow is below the frame

I mean, at least you made me laugh my ass off just now at the absurd bleakness of seeing this comment in this context

I hope you have more days than you think, but either way there are certainly worse legacies to have

Why I otter…

My hypothesis is that the rise in distracted driving was just as bad in European countries but they have safer infrastructure that limits cars’ speed and otherwise protects pedestrians, and I think that could be tested by looking at the rates of car crashes overall in Europe (if those went up at the same time as the US without a corresponding rise in dead pedestrians I think that’d suggest their infrastructure is the difference)

This doesn’t read like AI to me, it actually does connect its thoughts together and builds an argument narrative

That said, it is really awful human writing that has some cringey phrasing choices and the kind of grammar/sentence structuring I’d expect from a text to speech derived unedited stream of consciousness, I’m just not getting AI vibes off of it

Yeah, hearing the NYT decry hijacking of the public square is like hearing a Republican complain that Trump’s foreign policy is destabilizing the world

we can be bees

This is the most self defeating use of power I have seen since the last news story about US foreign policy I read

Instead of blocking them I wonder if archiving their posts and reposting their questions with the archived comment section would be better. I’m personally less interested in punishing an individual user who’s using this space selfishly (as much as they might deserve it) than I am in making this space more useful for everyone, and I don’t know how either of these proposals would do that in the short term (arguably they might in the long term by changing user behavior, but that seems like it really would take a long while).

That tracks

All good and totally relatable tbh
