I'd never looked into how old the clown is, but

He also lies about his age. He’s older than me & claims a birth date that would make him younger than me.

wait what? what does he claim? is the indicated year on wikipedia accurate? why the hell?

"Genes vs Memes"

okay, I checked, it's after midday. definitely okay to start drinking.

it's amazing how he continues to provide fresh reasons to want to boop him on the nose

just want to make sure this is on the record

those suggestions (from the deranged OP) are basically segregationist: “you take all the poor, you give them their own little world [and then they’re no longer here, where we have to look at them]”. there’s a long track record of awful enterprises that have been done with that spirit. they carry names like Apartheid, ghetto, etc.

(there are occasionally serious well-meaning suggestions on how to provision for the poor and unfortunate in ways that allow improving lives, but those don’t tend to handwave the details, and never (afaict) involve the “make them go over there” step)

yeah I got that from the explanation flere gave :)

Think “bless your heart”.

most polish (as in character/style) translation I've seen today

there really are some weird-ass reports from people on fedi sometimes. I imagine it also hits on other platforms, but there we don't get to see them

not only are the DCs burning water and harming ears, we’re on to the stage of taiwan not farming rice in service of making more chips

She shows us one of her rice paddies. It used to hold enough water to raise ducks. Now it's nothing but cracked earth and a few crispy flowers.

I’m neither a climate nor agriculture scientist so I can’t guess the longer term impact of this; I immediately wonder whether the soil could get harmed by disuse over years, along with other warming-related problems

I’m too angry to even sneer properly at this. it’s so fucking obviously nuts, but perverse incentives roll right ahead unchecked.

it is an often-viable heuristic, yeah

you know, I’d wondered previously about the higher-than-average divinity-and-spirits obsession among TPOT. between some of the history of land/ccru there, the other shit previously observed in the stubsack (iirc?) about rightoids and aliens/fairies (and ofc the nazi history of occultism)… what a fucking faith to make

Three, with the music it sounds like a drug ad in the US

as I remarked to a friend elsewhere, there's something I've noticed in a couple of these things now, and that's how "cutesy" they're made to be

this one for example: it’s so clearly intended to be as unnatural as possible (based on the pairings presented), while trying to sell it as cozy as possible - all the gestures/poses, the music, the lighting, the clothing, the who's-picked-for-portrayal

obviously there's going to be some kind of observation bias etc involved here (of however many of these things get created, only some with some x property end up crossing my feed/radar somehow) but still. it doesn't even have artistic shock dimensions value - it's just creepycopy.

which has led me to wonder: what is it about genml tech specifically that makes this kind of bullshit the thing produced so frequently?

it’s not “hating your post history”

it has been [0] days since I got accused of having emotions about a driveby poster

how rude

(e: not that you did it ofc, flere, but ykwim)

that's a much deeper (and thoroughly detailed) explanation than I expected, much thanks :)
