Protest can also be a form of art and memetic transmission. Don’t be so quick to dismiss others.

Sure, which is why installing it is largely a protest. I don’t think US tiktokkers are going to seriously learn pinyin so they can properly tag their post.

There’s already a mass exodus to RedNote, and I gotta say, I love that there are no ads.

Yeah, because LLMs have shown they understand language and aren’t bullshitting us. /s

Like I get this might generate new leads to explore, but to say it’s a virtual cell as if the model is somehow self-consistent is malpractice.

I’m white and the only time cops have been a dick to me was when I was with my Asian friend. It’s happened more than once. But the one time I was speeding by myself the police let me off on a warning and were rather nice about it. It’s anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt.

Seems to me there is a big difference between attacking someone’s identity and claiming the earth is flat or marijuana is bad. The fact the mods don’t seem to address this is concerning.

I mean there has always been illegal speech, we just don’t usually call it censorship.

You would be hard pressed to spend your money better than Luigi in regards to reducing medical debt. Anthem got scared and walked back rationing anesthesia during surgeries.

I hope Luigi sues them, I would donate to that fund.

The badge lets others know you’re a masochistic

Is energy being conserved? Because otherwise you would have an infinite energy source…

Brazil actually held their coup actors accountable.
