My Friendly Neighbor hood is mascot horror, but played entirely straight. It’s resident evil 4, but with all of the zombies replaced with puppets.

People should be called out for being intolerant, and you can restrict intolerant behaviors, but still have to let participate free in discourse, because other wise intolerance never gets confronted, and you end up with a bunch of intolerant people who feel like they to lie and be secretive about their opinions to participate in society

I don’t think it takes all kinds, we’d be better off without assholes, but so long as we have assholes, we need to figure out a way to handle them, because if we just try getting rid of them, we end up with a bunch of sneaky assholes who are aligned against the rest of society.

I’ve always said that you should tolerate intolerance, but not accept it.

and those who support trump must spread it everywhere to raise funds for his legal fees and or campaigning

Everything you just said is more or less true, but I think you’re underestimating the complexity of the right wing ideologies and social dynamics. The psychology of a right wing politician or media head is very different from your typical right wing shit poster, or average republican voter, and you should be careful lumping them all in together as a vague “they.”

unfortunately no, just a large group who’s convinced that the fascism is just democrat smear campaign

Talking about all republicans as a single entity, I think I would agree with you. But that view ignores all of the internal politics, and is ultimately unhelpful when talking to actual individual republican voters.

Republicans aren’t diverse, but all large groups are internally diverse. The christo-fascist voting block has a lot of power in the party, and has direct influence over policy, but that doesn’t mean they make up the majority of Right wing voters. You have to imagine other people complexly, even the shittiest person has complicated and unique reasons for why they are so shitty.

For starters, a lot of them are convinced that the democrats are even worse, and they are just voting for the lesser of two evils. Our democracy doesn’t do a great job of reflecting the peoples values

That definitely true for a significant percentage of republicans (especially their politicians and media personalities) but like any large group, republicans are internally diverse, and it’s unhelpful, and potentially dangerous, to think of them as a cultural monolith with identical values.

I’m still using it for now, but I’ve started using other platforms as well to ease the the inevitable transition

I wonder how much of that is just an inherent part of how neural networks behave, or if LLMs only do it because they learned it from humans.

Oh my god yes! future generations will be shocked that it took us that long to solve that particular typography problem.

This is obviously a bad idea, but part of me is really hoping that somehow it works and proves everyone wrong. I guess I just like rooting for under dogs

The idea of a purely contextual power up is a fun idea, and “wonder” is a good term for what’s been missing from recent 2D Mario games.

I mean, billionaires also trend towards the ghoulish, so maybe it’s appropriate?

agreed, regardless of whether or not it’s ethical to raise animals for meat, they way we currently do it is an eldritch abomination where “cage free” chicken are kept so tightly packed they will peck each other to death unless debeaked, and where “cut from neighbors knife” is a common injury report at slaughterhouses.

on some level, scammers are deliberating targeting the easiest marks. If you send out millions of phishing emails, you’re looking to catch a dozen or so of the least tech savvy people you can.
