I worked for the forestry service in Oregon planting Douglas Fir trees for a season. Most of the seasoned foresters didn’t stick with the job because they loved timber, wooden chairs, and backbreaking work. They did it because they loved the natural beauty of Oregon, especially the trees.

In a general sense of messaging, that totally makes sense. Biden has raised the capital gains tax and reclassified cannabis, while Trump is a criminal who committed election fraud. I want people who live in swing states to vote for Biden for the sake of us all.

Specifically about the issue of voting though, am I missing something?

“…I am part-hippie, part-fascist, part-libertarian, and mostly just a Republican…”

First thing I saw there. I’m glad to see they’re such a diverse group lol.

It probably algorithmically categorizes them by crossposts and association of users across multiple subreddits. So the colors don’t really mean anything in specific, the algorithm determined they’re associated with each other and created a colorized “family” to show association.

Check out ‘I Made a Graph of Wikipedia… This Is What Found’ if you wanna learn more.

As someone who used to post OC, it’s why I left. Nothing but OF spam bots and pics of pornstars. Reddit is somehow the better option, unfortunately.

That’s just like, your opinion dude.

Seriously though, it’s an option piece from a freelancer. Opinions are not considered a form of evidence, nor is the author an expert in any field.

Softcore gilf porn created by an AI to sell state lottery tickets wasn’t on my cards for 2024, but here we are.

Even if half of the people he “busts” are cops, the other half aren’t. Dude is still snitching in favor of a broken automated ticketing system that gives money directly to the cops. So fuck that dude

This is also what I tend to use

I agree with that, but am also limited to being able to afford just a few news subscriptions. Assuming I’m not the exception, it just seems to be counterproductive towards generating discussion in a community for discussing news.

People who can only view a clickbait headline also end up not knowing the context of what others are discussing that may have paid for the subscription, and could further be counterproductive in generating meaningful discussion.

… Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.

Dude is in his 70s and still acts like his mom is literally Satan for saying he has to eat his peas. That’s some real snowflake shit.

Just hit him

Listen, I’m working my way through a bottle of Jamison whiskey as we speak and can barely understand what you’re getting at. I read something about amnesia though, which reminded me of my aunt’s exorcism, which also reminded me I still have fries i.N my toaster oven from earlier, so thanks. Good name btw.

With the archive link posted in the body, that’s not really a paywall anymore. I do appreciate you doing that though!

I hadn’t considered the second part, but couldn’t bundling the source with the bypass solve that issue?

Being that news communities are there to facilitate discussion, it seems counterproductive to keep people from viewing the article in question. If someone just wanted to read the headlines and not have any discussion, an RSS feed would probably be better.

Most fancy lingerie (or anything with lace) must be washed by hand in a sink. It just makes sense to wash clothes in the washroom as opposed to the kitchen or bathroom, especially since the plumbing is already there for the washing machine.

Listen, I’m trying not to ascribe intent to their actions. But yeah, possibly.

I’m not sure why, but you seem to have posted this yesterday but it didn’t show up until an hour ago. Your instance may be having some issues.

I do get where you’re coming from with all that, but the act of going to therapy itself is an achievement a patient can benefit from, and should be considered from the start. If that truly isn’t possible for someone, voice calls from a real therapist are a reasonable next step.

Also, the original question was, “Can AI replace therapists?”. I can see some meaningful benefits coming from an AI assisting a therapist, but that’s not what I was getting at. AI alone really just feels like a bandaid on a bullet wound, when applying pressure or a tourniquet is also available.

If you look at the communities themselves, it seems like they’re trying to become mods of most religions, many political beliefs, and concepts related to India.

They’re also asking to become mods of already existing coms. I’m really not sure what they’re up to.

I think there’s a good chance people will leave once Lemmy integrates with Threads. So if you time things wisely, you can probably get a good base of users to swap their coms to Sublinks.

What’s your planned policy for karma? I know users hated it, but as a reddit mod I found it super useful to determine between a misinformed user and a troll. If your plan for mod tools is as good as you’re saying, I wouldn’t mind going back to modding.
