I saw the article mentioned he had defended the Oct 7 attack so after some googling:

Soon after the 7 October Hamas attack – which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, with about 240 kidnapped – Alareer caused outrage during a BBC interview by calling it “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, the broadcaster said.

Yikes. Defending oct 7 was pretty fucked up move on his behalf but what Israel keeps doing is arguably worse. Both Hamas and Israel leadership need to be removed from this world....

Maybe if we flooded them with such tickets, they would finally see that it might be worth considering?

I've worked in customer support and most of the time these type of tickets just get a copy pasted response basically saying thanks for your feedback, kindly go fuck yourself.

If you want something that could be reviewed I'd suggest contacting their legal department or even their HR department. The other option is to look for individual employees emails and socials and just message them.

I recommend not doing any of these things though, because it can be quite annoying to deal with these types of requests, as you will likely not be the first person to suggest this.

Earlier this year, the State Customs Service of Ukraine registered 653 cases of disappeared humanitarian cargo for military purposes. Some of the missing materials included plates for body armor, night vision devices, thermal imagers, drones, and military vehicles.

How the fuck are they "disappearing" military vehicles, having a whole third of the donations just vanish is really messed up.

Ukraine has got to get its shit together and really fight corruption in a more meaningful way.

The ruse began with Ballard and women in the organization taking cross-country trips to “practice” their “sexual chemistry” with tantric yoga, couple’s massages with escorts and performing lap dances on Ballard, the lawsuit claims.

While promotional materials portrayed the group’s overseas missions as “paramilitary drop-ins to arrest traffickers and rescue children,” they mostly involved “going to strip clubs and massage parlors across the world, after flying first class to get there, and staying at five-star hotels, on boats, and at VRBOs (vacation rentals by owner) across the globe,” the lawsuit alleges.

Several women, meanwhile, were eventually subjected to “coerced sexual contact,” including “several sexual acts with the exception of actual penetration, in various states of undress,” the lawsuit alleges.

So Ballard's way to catch sex predators was to literally turn himself into one lol

It's funny and sad at the same time that career politicians are allowed to exist because they tend to be the ones voting for their own restrictions and benefits.

Term restrictions? Fuck that

Increase our own salary even though we haven't passed any new laws actually helping society? Let's goo

It's funny how in most old scifi they showed a future where we as a society had AI working labor intensive jobs but art was a human-only activity. I guess we didn't account for how bad capitalism was going to overpower our value.

Why does the screenshot of the title say 'Decent' instead of 'Descent'?

My kitchen YouTube feed randomly showed me a "Rachel Zegler criticism" video and I was curious so I put it while cooking.

It was basically a 40 min rant where some YouTuber was showing her hypocrisy because she said Hollywood needs more representation from latinos even though she was acting on a movie as a puerto rican. The video could have been 2 minutes long but I noticed it was mostly the guy criticising every single word she's said and telling you how to feel about it.

I checked YouTube the next day and now it's full of alt right channels, for context I mostly watch veritasium, audit the Audit, science podcasts, dw documentaries, kurzgesagt and some music videos, I rarely watch political stuff on that account and yet now I see Ben Shapiro, Piers Morgan, Andrew Tate, Steven Crowder and the likes, literally my whole front page was just them and my automatic queue would be increasingly alt right shit.

I clicked on not interested and don't recommend this channel and yet I constantly see the videos showing up in the front page.

I think YouTube is heavily pushing this type of content, even if you try to show the algorithm that you are not interested. They probably see that it makes people get more engaged with the platform so they are okay with radicalizing everyone just for profit.

Ideally a scientist would operate politically on the basis of improving society though objective, measurable and honest actions, however Sheinbaum is corrupt as they come, she's pretty smart but she's basically sold her soul to her party, which was founded by the current Mexican president, who has been dismantling as many autonomous bodies for checks and balances as well as transparency institutions as he can.

Sheinbaum is very likely to win since the president has a 2-3 hour live propaganda show almost every morning where he attacks journalists and the opposition and he makes cringe jokes.

We'll have to see if once she gets executive power she starts acting for the betterment of society or if she continues following AMLO

I had no idea what that meant either so I googled it.

TL;DR: islamism and right-wing extremism are turning the country into shit.

About 20% of the population was apparently born abroad, and lots of immigrants never properly adapted to the society, so some of them bring islamic values, which clash with developed nations values.

This makes the more feral parts of the society react in counterproductive ways, in other words, right-wingers burning Qur'an books.

Personally, I think Islamic principles do not play well with other societies and letting refugees come in to your country when they practice a religion that beheads you if you draw a picture of their leader is a bad move.

However, I do understand that being targeted by assholes that just want to incite violence, and hate you because you are different, would radicalize a lot of people, specially young and vulnerable ones.

I worked creating mass content for lots of websites, from product descriptions, to reviews and posts messages. We just inserted random typos after running Quillbot on the text and added ellipsis here and there sometimes.

I think someone in the team had a list of words they purposely changed in MS Word so that they could be misspelled all the time.

Now that ChatGPT let's you insert your custom global instructions I'm absolutely sure they are asking for it to misspell about 2% of the words in the text and talk in a more coloquial fashion.

As things stand right now, I don't think there is a discernible way to see if something was written by AI or not and relying on typos is not a wise thing to do.
