Conservatives hate anything that reminds them to be better humans, because they aren’t.

This is what conservatives are. Don’t forget it. They will always choose performative cruelty. It’s built into the very core of their diseased culture.

“Because fuck you that’s why” is also an acceptable answer.

This is the type of person that conservative culture produces.

Breaking news from this week’s edition of “No Shit…”

How the hell are we ever supposed to take this country seriously again?

No idea if this is true. However I can find no explanation for the amount of women Musk has left in his wake beyond plain old money and the illusion of power. Every single time I’ve seen that dude speak, he comes off as the most uncharismatic blubbering numbnuts I’ve ever seen.

Women clearly can’t stand this dipshit for an extended period of time, but fuck if they keep falling for it.

I know. Someone voluntarily fucked that gila monster wearing human skin.

UI designer/developer here. One who works on features that facilitate reading.

Based on their writing style and the text highlighting habit, this person is likely dyslexic. I’ve helped create functions that facilitate this behavior, which is better suited as a mode that can be enabled manually. There are browser extensions that can do this sort of thing for you. I’ve worked on a lot of assistive reading features.

If this was set as a default behavior, most users would fucking riot. Most of them are using text highlighting for what this person doesn’t want to do.

Edit - I think I need to emphasize that this is based on real data. A shit ton of it. These decisions aren’t made based on vibes. If the user base is performing a specific action repeatedly, we’re going to facilitate it. We can see what you all are doing. UI’s aren’t built around a bunch of conflicting edge cases based on anecdotes. If something performs a certain way, at least major applications, it’s usually because a lot of direct observations and metrics have strongly indicated that this is the preferred approach.

Admittedly, sometimes business goals get in the way of that. But if those business goals we have to push get in the way of conversions, they get abandoned pretty quickly.

I’d really love to believe the narrative that the widespread adoption of LLMs will lead to a renaissance of technological breakthroughs, but deep down I know that it’s ultimately going to amplify and enable the absolute worst of what humanity has to offer.

I wish these shitbricks were actually fleeing to Russia at the levels this article is trying to portray.

I personally don’t “hate” it. I am, however, realistic about its capabilities. A lot of people think that LLMs can be used as a substitute for thinking.

That, any way you look at it, is a problem with severe implications.

The only thing saving this country from full on state-sponsored ethnic cleansing is the fact that they keep appointing the stupidest motherfuckers imaginable to key positions or power.

Even if these are restored, the spell has been thoroughly broken.

Trump has shown that the supposedly sacred institutions intended to protect democracy absolutely disintegrate the first time a 3rd rate dictator shows up and knocks them down.

Trump has shown that the office of the presidency itself can be obtained by the most dipshit motherfuckers imaginable.

Trump has shown that our electorate is hilariously unqualified for the responsibility of choosing our elected officials.

Rebuild everything, and what are we left with but a system that is utterly incapable of protecting itself against fascism? How in the absolute fuck can we ever be expected to respect the office of the presidency again after seeing that the absolute worst among us is capable of achieving it?

At this point, I think people are just hoping that the next election will restore the illusion. But for a lot of people, the perception of what this country is will be forever compromised.

Celebrating four years of abject cultural failure spent on the wrong side of history.

Anyone who is catastrophically stupid enough to be swayed by someone like Trump is not a potential ally. They are, at best, a liability.

Conservatives are culturally incapable of true civic defiance or revolutionary action. It just isn’t in their nature. They obey the authoritarian. It’s just what they are.

Don’t go looking to the right end of the political spectrum if you’re looking for rebellion.

Any democratic candidate preaching “forgiveness and healing” needs to be primaried. We need representatives who are willing to absolutely curb-stomp the fuck out a party that is effectively an occupying enemy force.

These are not people to “reach out” to. They are enemies to overcome.

What in the actual fuck did they think was going to happen? He spent his entire campaign specifically saying he was going to do this.

Any democratic candidate preaching that we need to “reach out” to these people can fuck off and die.
