Not gonna lie, this thing is kinda horrifying from the jump even if it is hilariously bad. Instead of putting effort into, I dunno, actually reaching out to people who are isolated and alone and help them find some kind of real community they put obscene amounts of money to an isolating homunculus

Not going to argue that it can be avoided, but what would that even look like? And is that more likely than the alternative?

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home.

Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

I wonder how many of the adherents actually take this headline at face value after seeing the 2020 protests with their own eyes.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

There are certainly some fantasies you can't make 1-to-1, but they are way to niche to expect out of a game that just released.

They can pay 30 dollars a day to parents at the drop of a hat, but they desperately needed to claw back that AISH money. Fucking ghouls.

Gross and cowardly behaviour on the university's part. But on the bright side, your complimentary right wing media tour will give you a massive platform to ramble at uncomfortable hosts about how horny and weird religious texts can be!

“(Puberty blockers) don’t render a person infertile or sterile. That is not true,” said Dr. Sam Wong, president of the association’s pediatrics section.

“To say that they’re sterile is a gross overstatement”
