Back in my day we called it putting up an away message on instant messenger

One such trend, sadfishing, is raising concern, particularly among teenagers. The term, which researchers defined in the Journal of American College Health in 2021, refers to social media users who “exaggerate their emotional state online to generate sympathy.@ it could be in the form of a sad photo, an ominous quote, or a vague post

i don't have a lot of respect for anyone still trying to 'fiscally conservative, socially liberal' the israeli–palestinian conflict this deep into grievous crimes against humanity. they're digging hospital patients out of a mass grave. a million people face death & starvation in rafah after being promised safe passage. sorry your overriding hatred of muslims compels you to try to divest yourself of committing to the easiest moral stance possible

when the camera jiggles in a jason bourne movie, that's because the cameraman is getting shaken to death like a baby behind it. to add realism

esvrld OP , 2 months ago

such a particular cultural moment that saw these films as the more 'realistic' alternative to james bond. instead of cool gadgets that do w/e the plot demands, they have computers that do whatever the plot demands. totally different!

thinking about the ai-generated video of a 'chameleon changing colour' where the chameleon did not, in fact, change colour. you already could lie about what a video depicts you don't need to burn a rainforest to do it

esvrld OP , 4 months ago

further proof that the only people ai fools are people who'd be fooled anyway. just put up any random video & make up claims. it's worked for the right wing grifting ecosystem for years

if there's one thing you can say about donald j trump, it's that he HATES publicity. the more you put him in the news the weaker he'll get

palworld being accused of using ai b/c some of the designs in it look similar to official poḱemon is a fine example of the real harm 'ai' has done: the way the marketing behind it has got some people's brain in a twist

did you forget it's still possible to copy things normal-style, without using ai?

most 'classic' conspiracy theories — positing huge implausible covert webs of influence behind seemingly disparate events and groups — mostly come from a refusal to commit to class analysis

esvrld OP , 3 years ago

i've said before i don't like the term 'conspiracy theory' because it both implies a unity that doesn't exist (someone who believes the moon is an alien spaceship is unlikely to believe the earth is flat) and hides the way many 'conspiracy theories' are in fact just manifestations of ur-fascism

esvrld OP , 3 years ago

there's this implicit idea many people have that there is a sort of a slider from normal people who believe in normal things to crazy people who believe in weird things, and everyone at a particular point on the slider believes in the same things. this, obviously, is just another way for liberal ideology to evade scrutiny by laundering itself as natural or self-evident
