Reminds me of South Park videogame addressing this trope.

Oh god, tankies are going to swarm like ants on this post doing mental gymnastics about how Tianamen didn’t happen, or it wasn’t as bad as it is portrayed to be, or whataboutism!

Also those who rant about welfare cheats but never talks about billionaire and corporate tax cuts and subsidies and wage theft being the bigger cheats of them all.

There should be a male movie version of “The Substance”, specifically targetting the toxic idea of looksmaxxing.

To be fair to Paris Hilton, she has managed to close down a company through litigation, whose business is to instill “tough love” on delinquent children in a boot camp but only caused trauma. I wasn’t quite expecting that from her.

Yep, but i think North Korea isn’t even really trying to reunify. Kim Jong-un has framed his social policy as a nationalistic one and dropped the hardline reunification policy that dominated his grandfather and father’s rule. With that in consideration, I think South Korea sees this and thought they may not be a point to follow the parallel policy of reunification. Besides, Koreans from both sides have increasingly diverging culture after decades of separation. If both reunify in one way or another, how would the Koreans treat each other? We already see the effect of a generation long separation amongst a population with Germany after the reunification. There are tensions between the Western and Eastern Germans, and we even see this on the previous parliamentary elections, where the voting pattern perfectly fits the former border of the Iron Curtain.

The German separation lasted less longer but there are still tensions. But with the Koreas being separated for three generations now, I could imagine the tension being much stronger than in Germany if a reunification happens.

India is beating UK at cricket.

Damn beat me to it!

Using the ai to help find the answers…

I think this is one of many reasons why search engines became so bad so that using AI could be promoted instead. I have turned to using AI for searching because of it.

Netanyahu is extending the war so that he won’t be prosecuted in court for corruption. It’s a classic from the dictator’s playbook. Wage a war so your people get too distracted to look against your own incompetence and corruption. However, the war on Iran is backfiring on Bibi.

That’s why the phrase “the past is a different country” rings very much.

I like using AI at work and saves me a lot of time from doing the most tedious tasks. But i agree that the problem is environmental. Which is why I think AI development should be controlled. How? I don’t know but it’s something that experts should discuss.

I don’t think I’ve seen pseudo viral and bot marketing from Open AI, not that I’m aware of.

It’s cringey but maybe because I never really took imaginary points and likes seriously.

I got heavily downvoted on my post on c/unpopularopinion about Lemmy’s absolute disdain of AI and not acknowledging its potential so it really is unpopular.

It’s going to sound so wrong, but back when Snow White was first written, it was during the time when child marriage was acceptable and there is no middle stage known as teenagerhood (it’s a very recent concept in human history). As soon as you could work, you would be considered an adult even if you are 12. If anyone has read the book or seen the movie The Master and Commander (which is set during the Napoleonic Wars, same time as when Snow White was published), there are naval cadets who are like 12 and 15 years old, and the much older ablehands refer to them as “sir”. That is a historically accurate depiction.

I’m not making excuse by the way, but it explains a lot as to why older stories have very weird portrayal of underage characters because it reflected the social norms at the time. Many fairy tales in their original forms are very brutal and no-holds barred because people back then grow up way too fast as expected by society. And the gruesome reality of living, without the modernity we take for granted today, had to be faced by most folks in the past. Child mortality rate was high after all.

You don’t change the view of the person you are arguing with on the internet, you are putting a red flag so that would-be readers don’t fall into the rabbit hole.

There is nothing specific, but what I mean is that Russian public figures or ideas would have their Anglicised name on the entry at the introduction page alongside their Cyrillic spellings. Putting the Cyrillic spelling side by side with the English spelling made me learn how to read and pronounce Russian.
