How is this argument different than the “video games cause violence” argument?

So do you have to basically ai spam applications if you want a job now? Cause it seems like companies are using ai to filter out 99% of applications so there’s no use into putting manual effort to adjust resumes and write cover letters if a human isn’t going to read it.

Yeah, it’s the top posts that were posted in the last six hours. Unless you have a pretty wide sub list it’s usually better if you do it for everything/all, eg. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopSixHour . Otherwise top 12 hour or top day is usually good

Listened to a podcast with a person who lived in the ussr when it fell and was comparing it to current day America. Basically they were saying that people are becoming more cynical and don’t really believe in the project any more and are waiting for something to come along and fundamentally change things.

With gorbachev it was a turn to democratic liberal capitalism, with trump its a turn to autocratic neo-mercantalism.

Both could bring down the great empires of the twentieth century.

Not so fun fact: early on Hitler was a zionist, or at least considered it a good “solution” to the “Jewish question” before he came up with the final solution.

Implying that the Democrats are now “the party of big business” is arguably true (and very boring)

While true in some scenarios, in anti-trust Lina khan’s ftc has done significantly more than trump ever did. Biden keeping her over the protest of countless business execs and daily articles in the wall street journal on how she’s ruining America shows some commitment to prosecuting big tech.

Meanwhile, trump’s anti-trust moves were mostly based off petty issues he had with the ceos or the platforms having a “liberal bias”. Now that every big tech ceo has fallen in line and given him $1 million for his inauguration I doubt we’ll see much movement on that front.

Usury (lending money for interest) is a sin.

Make Christianity socialist again!

Fuck yeah, here’s hoping she’s like MacKenzie Scott ( bezos’ ex) and takes half his money and donates it all away.

Biggest shock on here is Israel isn’t blue. I guess this as much of a fuck you for ruining my presidency Biden could muster on his way out.

That’s French guiana which is part of France. Not even some weird colonial situation like Puerto Rico, it’s a full department (province) with all the rights of mainland French departments.

It’s the thin blue line flag , you’ll see it all over the US by right wingers who think police are the only thing keeping us from murdering each other.

This article goes over a bit of both if you trust npr more than some random socialist propagandist but The trends for both are nationwide. Police staffing has been going down since BLM became a thing and public respect and love for cops went down. This one doesn’t give years but it says 5% over the last couple years. The change is bigger in larger more liberal cities. Chicago is down 13% since 2018 , san francisco which inspired this meme is down 20% since 2017 while at the same time seeing a ~30% decrease in crime over the past year.

Crime is also down all over the country, home break ins have been steadily declining since 2018 when the police staffing “problem” started. Murders have also dropped 12% over the past year along with alot of other crimes

Not saying less cops = less crime, just debunking the classic thin blue line narrative of less cops = more crime

You could maybe argue that if the drop was only in small petty crime. Yeah a shopkeeper may stop reporting shoplifting after the 10th time the police don’t respond. That under reporting goes down as the crime gets more serious. Your probably going to report a home break in to the cops even if you know they won’t do anything since you’re going to need a police report for insurance, home break ins have been steadily declining since 2018 when the police staffing “problem” started. This seriousness holds very true for murders which have dropped 12% over the past year

That’s assuming the victims would be under reporting, if you’re saying the police departments, government etc. Are under reporting then that’s getting into conspiracy territory. Especially because we’re seeing this trend reported across the nation so the conspiracy would have to be massive.

Also if the government had the ability to do this why would they start now? This idea isn’t too complex so someone could have easily come up with it and started doing it a while ago. If that were the case we’d never see crime rates go up as the politicians would just under report every year and make it look like crime is going down. But we have seen reported crime go up, noticeably in 2022 , and instead of hiding that many politicians and police departments showcased it as a reason to Crack down on crime and increase there budgets.

Police staffing has been going down since black lives matter became a thing. They dont get the same unquestioned respect and love like they used too so no one wants to be a cop any more. This one doesn’t give years but it says 5% over the last couple years. The change is bigger in larger more liberal cities. Chicago is down 13% since 2018 , san francisco which inspired this meme is down 20% since 2017 and all the mayoral candidates are falling over themselves to say they’ll solve it even though crime is down.

Yeah but this is a “needle in a haystack” problem that chatgpt and AI in general are actually very useful for, ie. Solutions that are hard to find but easy to verify. Issues like this are hard to find as it requires combing through your code , config files and documentation to find the problem, but once you find the solution it either works or it doesn’t.

It’s the trans women in sports of veganism, it’s such a small part of the issue and no one in the group will usually bring it up. But people who are against them will use it to discredit and divide them even though they don’t really care about the underlying issues they claim to be for: women’s sports, cat nutrition and the way larger problems with them.

I mean a lot of people are feeding there cats cheap dry kibble that has almost no resemblance to the meat it was rendered from. If your argument is that it’s abuse if you aren’t feeding your cat what it wants then there’s a lot of cat abusers out there.

in the States you can sometimes go miles in between homes

Is that supposed to be a lot? The average electric scooter can go 10s of miles these days. The average American lives in the suburbs and drives around 40 miles a day if they commute, which is becoming less common with work from home. While almost every climate report says we need to bring that number down, even if we don’t evs can easily handle that. Most pure evs coming out these days have at least a 200 mile range and even a lot of plug in hybrids can handle 40 miles . As for charging installation you can plug a level 1 charger into any old outlet at night and have it charged up for the commute by the morning. You only have to pay for installation if you want level 2 or 3.

Evs work well for the average American. It may make long distance road trips a bit harder but maybe adding a bit more friction on that could be a good thing as it would encourage us to build out more of our abysmal rail system, because current American driving habits are unsustainable.

By a truly unbelievable coincidence, I was recently out for a walk when I saw a small package fall off a truck ahead of me. … Inside, we found the latest versions of the Cellebrite software, a hardware dongle designed to prevent piracy (tells you something about their customers I guess!), and a bizarrely large number of cable adapters.

I guess it makes sense signal works with the mafia
