yeah, iirc the first step to singularity or at least what causes it is an ASI so we have this community of dweebs thinking that that'll solve everything and not, like, communism, which probably won't solve everything but certainly more than whatever the fuck llms are doing.

the state doesn't like directly suppressing dissident speech because that task is offloaded onto the private sector.

the US MIC has been jerking itself raw to ODS for 30 years now and they still think that high tech wunderwaffen are how peer wars are won because (?)

saying the US 'barely participated' in WW2 is pretty egregious, just because the USSR did the majority of heavy lifting and very much could have won by itself doesn't mean that's what happened.

the majority of post-normandy heer formations deployed in the western front were the best equipped ones, the western front was denser than the eastern front and lend lease was large enough in scale to certainly have made a material difference. that doesn't mean that the US won the war by itself, or that the american sacrifice was anything comparable, but this sort of revisionism comes off as pretty crankish tbh.

the ledditeur narrative right now is a stab in the back myth ft. the republicans lol

genshin is the best mihoyo can do when it comes to reigning in their objectifiying horniness. can't expect much from a company founded by a bunch of awkward chinese nerds.

a lot of people in the fanbase are way too willing to turn a blind eye to it since half of it is composed of the old booba honkers otakus old guard and the other half are the genshin fandom gays.

honkai impact, which i've been playing for a year now bc my wife is a big mihoyo fan and i liked it best out of their three offerings. a lot of the older stuff is very jank/rough, it's a gacha game so it comes off with that usual baggage, and the general art direction is even more male-gazey than genshin. but the visuals/flow of the combat with modern characters is great, and there's clearly a lot of effort put into the choreography and animations that make actually playing the game with the 3-woman teams just really fun.

based off some preliminary research it feels like a large part of ai porn all looking the same stylistically seems to come down to ai gooners all reusing the same baseline prompt - i would not be surprised if 95% of it contained a common set of keywords in the stablediffusion prompt.

effective altruism is a 'philosophy' that just boils down to being rich is morally good because you as an individual is the best way to help other people and do good. (lmfao)

definitely think if you care and talk about the 'friendzone' as a concept it raises red flags about how one approaches romance, but there's nothing inherently wrong with someone feeling unhappy that their romantic feelings were unreciprocated. like with most things when it comes to this subject i think the issue is thinking critically about why you feel a certain way - for a lot of people the sting of rejection comes from feeling entitled to romance which is clearly problematic.
