  • Yeah okay, so it sounds like he’s the kind of guy who’ll build a framework, or most of it, and won’t ever really become capable of hosting a lot of videos at a watchable quality.

    Technically he’ll probably have built something basically functional the community could rally behind and get going. But that won’t happen, because the people who care about the Fediverse are few, insufficiently resourceful, and most importantly don’t care about shorts.


  • Yeah I don’t get the drama with this one. Unless you’re some disappointed investor.

    For me, with no stake in this, it’s fun. A bit weird and bad, but I’ve seen worse stuff. I feel like someone tried to do something interesting with that “Bird that wants to be a Plane” video.

    In my mind I pictured the bird as Sora/GPT and the plane as the theorized incredible and perfect general AI behemoth.

    Imagining the current AI as dumb, incapable and small. Not really able to understand the plane, only sort of, in it’s little bird way.









  • Would’ve been easier to convince them to come back if we didn’t spend the better part of last decade “calling out” white savior complex.

    Why did we make such an effort to make sure white men realize how pathetic everyone thinks they are, again?

    Seems people aren’t that worried about what Trump’s potential presidency and lasting legacy could lead to.

    I don’t think I’ve seen genuine fear much at all, except for that one black guy who was threatened with hanging in some old sundown town around Nevada/California some weeks ago. Everyone around seemed perfectly fine with it, maybe even willing to help, should the old man want to seize him and actually hang him.

    I don’t think Americans really imagine it getting there. They think the white boys with still be holding eachother back, but the reality is that the bleeding heart kind will be sitting at home or something, he won’t be your pathetic white savior standing between the psychos and their catch.

    If Harris wins, there won’t be much more of that, but if Trump wins it’ll start happening a lot more, and the decades coming after will be blown wide open in terms of how bad things can get. People are wrong if they think the modern crop of white boys is less dangerous than their great great grandpa. I know the mentality, they’re a bit hyena-like, they’re fucking clowns about it. With a love for long range rifles, occasionally a disturbing habit of entertaining themselves with gore, I wouldn’t want to see them win the government’s approval/tolerance.






  • I’ve been saying this for a long time – the working class is no longer culturally aligned with the left after it became so serious about not tolerating rude, crude, insensitive men.

    Those are working class men.

    Politically opposing the break room behavior of the guys you claim to represent doesn’t work well. I still think there are enough of them in principle in support of various rights that they would make up a good majority of it was just about that, but the 2010’s push to punish insulting humor and misgendering lost too many, it’s now only supported by a minority of working class men. That is why going as far as Trump became a viable option for the GOP.

    The difference between Bush and Trump represents, to me, the difference between two things. The working class’s support for “live and let live” style rights to be with and become what you want, and in contrast is their objection to the expansion of “don’t be rude, shut up, play along” style restrictions on speech in various social arenas.

    I really believe that if the left had clearly rejected the wesk minority’s desire for.enforcement of political correctness, it would have either a more comfortable lead, or a close race against someone less extreme.

    The left rejected their base.

    Because they were crude.

    Instead of changing course, the left would rather just judge and lose. “Look at those men! They are not ethical! They are not smart! They shouldn’t choose him over us! We are better for them!”

    But you make no sacrifice to win them back.

    You’d rather roll your eyes, sigh, and let it happen.
