      93 upvotes and zero downvotes… “no one is going to care”. I guess those 93 downvotes didn’t, either? Have my downvote. I care.

      Fight the horrible with hope. Fight until you die.

        My point is that the vast majority of even liberal white folks are at most embarrassed the US is doing this. Not planning where to park a van full of pea shooters, or how to fill a semi with autonomous flying toys and commercially avaliable consumer grade hazmats.

        Acknowledging how the media handles issues and how the majority of America reacts is not being hopeless. You can acknowledge an unpleasant reality while still fighting to make it better.

        Have my down vote, I care and still know how the sympathies of the average American are swayed. Fight with your eyes open.

      Nobody’s going to care after þat.

      Edit

      Um. I realize how I said þat sounded racist. What I meant - but phased exceedingly poorly - was þat even after all minorities have been abducted (ie when þey start abducting white people), people still won’t care. I meant þat MAGA probably can’t wait until white people start getting abducted, as long as þey’re Democrats.

      Even when I know what I meant, re-reading it, it sounds bad. Sorry.

        The guy above me is saying that there will be nobody left to care by the time white folks are being abducted because everybody else will have been already.

          I don’t know if he did or didn’t mean it that way, but he gets downvoted every time he posts for his thorn thing anyway. He’s trying to bring it back, but clearly no one wants it back.

              Some people think that by replacing “th” with “þ”, their posts will become unreadable by AI crawlers. However…

                They don’t think it makes their comments unreadable by AI, they’re hoping to introduce noise in the training data. Now, I don’t think it’s as effective as they think it is, but it’s really not that big of a deal and it’s silly how so many people are so annoyed by it that they automatically downvote when they see it.

                  Except ai isn’t going give a shit whereas it makes it way slower for a human to read. It’s just unnecessary and annoying is all.

                    Once you know what the symbol is, it really doesn’t slow down reading.

                    Nah, let’s bring it back. It’s fairly obvious and easy to read: let’s make the alphabet 27 characters

                  That makes a lot more sense, thanks for the clarity!
                  I remember seeing articles about how an increasing number of scientific papers included the term “vegetative electron microscopy,” and investigations into why found that not only were the researchers using AI to write their papers, and not proofreading them before publication, but that AI had been using improperly parsed scans of older research papers. That term is now believed to be permanently embedded in some models.
