The sentence can be “How rightists look when you criticize billionaires” or “What rightists look like when you criticize billionaires”. Combining both makes a hideous mutant sentence that begs to be put out of its misery.

    Ouch, I guess I’ve triggered you. Apologies. I believe your previous post is in violation of Rule 1, but hey I get it. Life’s busy and it’s easy to get caught up in and forget civility and respect. I’ll block you in a bit and you can continue on your way.

    This argument doesn’t make any logical sense.

    Your argument appears to be:

    Some labour unions are bad/corrupt, therefore no trade unions should not exist.

    You seem to acknowledge that some governments are bad/corrupt, but don’t apply the same logic to them. If the same logic was used it would be:

    Some governments are bad/corrupt, therefore they should not exist.

    However you instead apply the logic of:

    Some governments are bad/corrupt, but they should still exist.

    I just want some logical consistency.

    I’m not arguing that there aren’t bad labour unions who don’t effectively represent their members. I’m arguing that the existence of bad/corrupt labour unions does not mean that labour unions should not exist at all.

    Well that’s just nonsense. I guess if we are going to just spout nonsense then I’ll need to start pulling my weight.

    There is no human caused climate change.

    Vaccines cause autism.

    Governments and pharmaceutical companies are withholding the cure for cancer.

    Israel isn’t a genocidal apartheid state.

    Strangely, this post doesn’t really have anything to do with AI per-se. The exact same exploit is actively being exploited on YouTube and music streaming services without AI. AI is just a boogeyman feature of the exploit in this case and doesn’t really seemed to have played any real part in it.

    I’ll renew my membership when the party’s executive is purged of the Liberal autocrats. And hey, maybe this time they can an executive that actually listens and works with its grassroots.

    Avi as a leader is an excellent first step to reform.

    I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s not your fault that the modern world is so fucking hard for us.

    And it’s not just us, even neurotypical folks are really struggling, but it’s hitting us like a freight train.

    We love you being here and we need you to keep being here so badly. We are told from all directions of the modern world that we are the problem - and we need more of us who know how hard it is and can have a little bit of compassion for us.

    We can force this world to cut us a break. We can be the ones that stand up for the kids who get yelled at all day because they can’t sit in a chair all day and can’t instantly recall what was told to them 2 minutes ago. We can be the ones who stand up to those who think the only measure of a persons worth is the ability to work in paid employment for 40-80 hours a week.

    I love you guys. Just because conformity isn’t our forte and that is the what is valued most in the modern world doesn’t mean you don’t have worth.
