Well, all I saw was a young, beautiful, extremely “breedable” women. To be fair I did not know about the gay meme beforehand, but again, that context is stripped here anyway. So not everybody knows the original meme. And that “breedable” would by exclusion be associated with the gorgeous Emilia Clarke on some level (subconscious / emotional - no “thinking” required). My assertion doesn’t rely on her most famous role either.

So just because a majority is downvoting me doesn’t mean I’m incorrect in asserting that this is a (somewhat) misogynist meme. I also don’t think people are misogynist here, I just think they are fucking morons.

Of course it doesn’t matter much anyway. The rise of fascism is unstoppable now and women are going back to the kitchen and in the bedroom to breed. And the gays will be used as kindling - no offense, they just “stand out”, you know? It’s nothing personal, but for the engine of capitalism to continue, the belief in inequality has to be shifted from class to identity. And that requires a lot of hard work!

I’m not being incredibly serious in my replies because frankly, people are fucking idiots. But this is a serious issue. The joke in OP, to get your brother to say something incredibly sexist, yeah it’s funny. But it’s also shit that the ruling fascists would say unironically, with legal force. Adriana Smith might be dead, but she’s still definitely fucking “breedable”. You think they won’t try to get the supreme court to define a women’s role as being a sacred duty to breed? Not because of ideology, but because having access to oppressed and exploitable minority is awesome for profits.

Anyway lol

Something like 70% of gradates in STEM fields in Iran are women. Their economy can’t absorb the skilled labors because of the sanctions though, but that is their goal: To hinder democracy and a middle class that wouldn’t want to sell out to the west. What the US and Israel is doing is meant to do the opposite of what leftists want for Iran. And war is certainly not going to make any of this better.

Throughout history, every village had one idiot, two max. And maybe one psycho.

Today thanks to the power of the internet these idiots and those psychos can unite and create big communities and represent a strong unified force in the world.

Wait, so the original name is alumium? Fuck yeah! From now on I’ll go with that one!

They would generate strategies that maximize their objective function based on the training data. Obviously garbage in garbage out, but my point is they would not be prone to certain irrationalities like humans.

It might be possible to regulate how AI CEOs are optimized and trained though. You can tell a human CEO a thousand times “we only have one earth, if you all externalize your cost we will all die and have zero profits” but an AI might actually get it. AI might also be connected to a kind of crowdsourced democratic economic global forum, where people can discuss, complain and make suggestions.

AI also has a much higher bandwidth and might catch institutional problems much easier because it doesn’t have to rely on summaries of subordinates to understand how things are going.

More broadly, it might be theoretically impossible for humans to act according to our shared values - no matter what rules, institutions, education or culture we create. Like “theoretically impossible, the system always degenerates” because individual humans will always follow their own greed and lust for power while pretending to comply, and then using that power to slowly pervert the system and it’s rules. I believe that is the root of our current malaise. But even non-sentient AI might be able to help us just enough to make it work. It’s much more likely that those in power will use it for the opposite, but that shouldn’t stop us from thinking about if it can be used for good.

People are a resource that keeps regenerating after all.

That’s what the AI would call “sustainable business practices”?

I could have used circlejerk instead but it’s mildly homophobic and doesn’t have a good verb form. Anyway, my apologies for the confusion. Don’t mind me, just continue masturbating with the others.

MEME FYI: Essentially, submissive and breedable is meant to be an absurd, funny term of endearment, especially when used towards men, who might not particularly take the terms “submissive” or “breedable” as compliments in a traditional sense. It’s often used in the LGBTQ+ community and towards more effeminite men, including femboys like F1nnster, to compliment them on looking, well, submissive and breedable.

Except, this context is missing in this meme, here it is associated with a girl portraying a character that was sold as part of a deal to be bred with. It is no longer absurd or flipping gender roles. That was her value, being breedable. It doesn’t matter who stamets is, same rules apply. Memes mutate and change. Your body my choice.

In the original context it is funny because it is absurd, they are men joking among each other knowing they don’t breed, and they are also not in danger of being used as sex slaves powerful men. It’s funny because we live in a post-homophobic, post-misogynist and post-racial world. They even shut down the f*****-suicide prevention hotline recently because it was no longer needed!

You can criticize me for using the completely goonerified word “edging” because that is just triggering. I thought it was clever since words have power precisely because they have hidden meaning.

I’ve been wondering why they don’t blow up more regularly. I imagine a few long range sniper shots would make them explode easily. They should be relatively easy to hit, seeing how big they are.

I suspect an AI CEO would be more rational and science driven, instead of believing in some ideology that says workers have to feel desperate to be most productive or something. It’s possible they’d look at science and then raise the minimum vacation time so people are more productive and generate more profit.

Huh I read a dystopian short story about AI micro-managing workers, constantly telling them what to do next to optimize productivity. It ends with near “perfect” dystopian wealth concentration. While in another part of the world they used AI to create a utopia.

Oh it was called Manna by Marshall Brain

The gradual takeover of jobs by AI (starting with fast food), The warehousing of the unemployed in state-controlled facilities, A techno-utopian alternative (Australia) where AI liberates rather than enslaves.

Yes, but remember what Microsoft Windows 10 is named after. That’s really weird and hostile too!

It’s called edging. You continually push “edgy” funny jokes because they are so crass and rebellious that you eventually arrive at the wonderful magnificent fascist USA we have today. That’s how gamer culture took over the white house.

I mean sometimes you can just not say an offensive word, even if you think it’s funny.

The democrats focus on LGBT, women and immigrant issues. Ultimately the big money will only come for causes that benefits big money, so you have to find other causes to distract from that.

It’s misogyny. Literal boomer humor on new clothes.

But not supporting Russia is the same as not opposing US imperialism, which is the same as supporting US imperialism. Think about it lol.

And yeah, there are communities dedicated to spreading “rumors, propaganda, cherry picking” and creating prejudice. There is very little difference between the fascist lies told by MAGA and the US imperialist lies told by the MSM. You think just because Russia manipulates people, the US isn’t doing the same? Because one side is bad, the other is good? That the left is somehow immune? It’s become increasingly hard to figure out the truth of what is happening in the world, but people crave a pure certainty. That’s how the fascists won, by reshaping how the liberals perceive the world. And the neoliberals love the good vs evil narrative.

What matters is tactics and strategy. A multipolar world is better for any socialist project. Multiple independent sources of information, even if tainted, are better than a single perspective shaped by mainstream media. There are only 3 international newspapers in the world, and they’ve long been captured.

That’s why I’m specifically looking for a server that doesn’t block those pesky radicals and dissenters.

When “the others” do that, it’s called a terrorist attack.

It really comes around back home. How the USAns treated the people from the “shithole” countries, they now treat their own.

40.000 deaths by traffic accident by year (in the US). Only 20 deaths would be a major improvement. Obviously “cars” is a highly irrational discussion though.

And it’s not just the victims who could be spared their lives, it’s also the mental toll on those who kill people on accident. Blaming it on a flaw in the software that can be improved and flaws permanently fixed is great.

I say let the mechanized reduced slaughter begin!

I’ve always wondered why people driving a car do not wear a helmet. Or just walking around in the city. There is no question that it would save lives!

slsk
