Just like every piece of AI-generated slop!

I will never understand why Americans insist on simping so hard for billion dollar companies. Is it the lead in the drinking water? Is it the lack of healthcare? Is is the terrible state of their education? Truly baffling.

I'm sure. Enjoy your nuggies!

Edit: Wow, you added so many big words! Did momma forget your sauce again?

Hey, you’re an expert: do you think the uptick in the number of sticky-fingered midwesterners around here is a sign that Lemmy’s finally reaching a wider, less technical audience?

The main difference is the quality of the algorithm serving up the videos. YouTube Shorts is the worst, most piss-poor shit I’ve ever seen. Like, it’s “someone should probably be fired” bad.

I don't know why, but my Shorts feed is nothing but weirdo right wingers, huge muscle dudes, and conspiracy videos -- and I'm a middle aged liberal woman who mostly watches sewing tutorials on YouTube.

These sorts of vague political commitments no longer have the power to avert the disaster we’re facing. We are fully in the grip of vast, impersonal historical forces again, and just have to see what happens.

Nearly half of Democrats disapprove of Biden’s response to the Israel-Hamas war, AP-NORC poll shows ( apnews.com )

The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats...
