I mean, of the hundreds of communities I’ve blocked so far, I feel like a solid half of them were furry porn, so honestly that tracks.

The thing about the right wing is that it always boils down to the cruelty being the point. People play it up -just- being a difference of opinion like we’re talking about whether or not pineapple is good on pizza; when the opinions in question are that brown people are inferior, trans people people don’t deserve rights, a woman’s life is worth less than a fetus, etc: there’s no valuable dialogue to be had. Ban the fucker and don’t look back.

The closest thing to valuable dialogue you’re going to get with that garbage is the bullshit veneer they slap onto their vitriol to make it easier to sell - the whole white knight bit about protecting babies or bathrooms or some other nonsense that conveniently lands the same outgroups into a bind every single time. If you think any of that shit is in good faith, you’ve fallen for a trap before the conversation even starts.

Diversity of thought is great, up until we start turning to hatred/bigotry for a fresh perspective. Those are not welcome here, nor should they be anywhere else.

Didn’t it already tell some teen to kill themself recently? It fits right in with the worst of the internet.

Been using this in nursing school - a lot of our content is done on horribly designed websites, and it’s pretty common to hit submit and… Naw it didn’t take: all your shit just disappeared.

So, save with single file first, then submit, and if it fucks up then I’ve got a backup to copy and paste a replacement out of.

Already has in a sense, looking at the Blue Cross Blue Shield anesthesia rollback.

If that’s where it stops, maybe we’ll see a trend with deposing CEOs of malicious organizations.

Huh. Guess I’ll squash the odd neonazi if I see one posting here.

The real artificial intelligence!

Edit - Just noticed there’s an M by my name… When and how did I become a mod? Was that intentional?

Well you were right. That definitely rubs the wrong way lol.

Thank you!

If you don’t like that, you’re really not going to like what they call downvotes …

Don’t leave us hanging like that!

“AI” doesn’t exist yet, and it drives me fucking insane that the term has been slapped onto the spell-checkers-on-steroids shit we’re calling “AI” today.

If and when AI becomes a thing, the impact on humanity will be in par with figuring out how to harness fire or electricity.

…and yes, I know, language is based on usage, so when enough people call a hamster a “unicorn” instead, eventually “unicorn” is definitively the thing we call a hamster today. And we’ve already rebranded the old unicorn as “AGI” to make room for new bullshit marketing unicorn, so the line I’m bitching about is firmly crossed and we’re not going back…

But fuck do I hate it.

Hmm, what song would go with this scene? Big butts is already taken…

That’s just Taylor Swift wearing a swimsuit.

Well what are y’all waiting on, that cake ain’t gonna cut itsel-- …oh.

What is the complete correct response for users to carry out if they spot CP?

Is just the report button on the post good enough? Is there some kind of higher level report for bigger-than-just-one-instance shit that threatens Lemmy as a whole? Should we call the FBI or some shit?

I haven’t come across any here, but if I do, I’d like to be able to aid in swift action against not only the post/account in question, but against the actual person running it.

…yeah that one might be unique to 'murica.

Is it US?

Yes.

Because this is the only one country I know that has slavery.

If only. Humans are pretty horrible to each other all over the globe. We have entire markets dependent on slavery like chocolate; one of the richest fucks on the planet right now got to where it is via enslaving emerald miners. Russia’s made the news several times recently for enslaving POWs.

I’m sure the list of modern examples of slavery is much, MUCH longer, but that’s a few off the top of my head.

Lol thanks! If I was going to give that recruiter any feedback, it’d be to include the pay and benefits in their pitch. They can “we’re a family!” and “top-notch patient care!” me all day long, but if they want my hours they need to tell me what I get in return. Drives me nuts when employers aren’t up front about shit like that.

A bit of googling on that hospital (ThedaCare) shows they treat their employees like absolute shit - sounds like they lost a good chunk of their radiology department because those staff found out they were being underpaid, and took a job at a different hospital. They even gave ThedaCare the opportunity to counter-offer, but ThedaCare instead went to the court system to block them from leaving. There was no non-compete agreement, and this is all in an at-will employment state. ThedaCare literally asked a judge if it could have slaves, rofl.

…and perhaps most terrifyingly, the judge actually rolled with it for a couple days, although it did eventually get thrown out.

Yeah I don’t think I’ll be applying there. >_>

Might be a bit crispy around the edges.
