I not only misread the first word like everyone else, I read the second word as s t imulation at first.

I don’t have the sociological definition of racism at my fingertips, but IIRC it includes the need for a power imbalance, which is generally why people push back when folks say that minority groups can be racist against against white people. Our entire country was (arguably still is to a large degree) set up to where there is a huge power imbalance in favor of white people.

If you just want to make the very real point that white people are victims of bigotry also sometimes, rather than get into this repetitive debate about whether there can be racism against white people, IMO you can just say “bigotry” or “racial prejudice” and carry the same message you intend to without having to have this tired debate about whether white people can experience racism.

Unless you aren’t tired of the tired debate, but I know I sure am.

Killing other humans is bad, unless its done so by withholding life saving treatment.

Every word of this is true, and it requires very little conversation with anyone on the right to see how true it is.

Lemmy gold for you sir or madam.

I would love to know the context behind the photo.

I understand why folks think violet is a LARP, but I don’t. She’s too matter of fact about her posts and doesn’t seem to care very much if folks give her attention for it or not. She barely comments in reply to her posts, and most of all she has explicitly said she’ll never share a pic of herself.

I think someone larping would be way more over the top with what and how they posted, would post and comment more frequently, and would for sure generate some AI thirst trap (or just steal someone else’s picture) and claim it to be her.

YMMV, and reasonable folks can disagree, but I think violet is exactly what she claims to be.

Thanks for the info!

Nice try Violet08, you’ve exposed your alt account.

It’s up to the admins of the instances and not the devs to curate and this is one of the main reasons why I don’t trust the piefed dev.

Can you elaborate on that? Asking for curiosity, not to challenge you.

What don’t get is how they didn’t see the “invisible” text when they were copying it to paste it into the AI. Any tool I’ve ever used to select and copy text highlights it in a way that would show the “invisible” part. Was the question just so long that they could easily miss it?

I love the story but I’m a little skeptical just because of this one detail.

This is basically history repeating itself again with the Beehaw defederation.

I’ve been around the fediverse longer than the age of my account would suggest, but I missed the drama around Beehaw somehow - what was the story there?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Does anyone have the source video for this gif? I seem to recall he’s a stand up comedian but I don’t know his name or the context, and I wonder about it every time I see it.

I hope you are right but I fear it’s going to be more like the thought police and midnight raids against anyone who openly dissents.

Magas have never been able to understand the concept that freedom of speech doesn’t obligate any entity to platform whatever it is you are saying.

Ever since 2020 it’s been “How do you know conservatives are being silenced? Because they never stop telling you.”
