It’s not, it’s not having to do the math or the remembering. The brain is a muscle, when you have your phone doing all the hard work it doesn’t need to be as buff. LLMs will worsen this problem even more. Microplastics? Maybe single digit consequences.

Expect reddit comments to get removed without notice, users to sporadically get banned here and there, while that uptick continues. Reddit has been pretty good at this for years, in the sense of controlling the narrative without raising any obvious flags. The only thing that’s surprising is that they are no longer treating Reddit as damage control, but just another social network to control. I guess when the authoritarianism is as overt as it currently is, there’s no longer any reason to hide the manipulation as it becomes a liability to allow the already controlled narratives to persist.

Putin is the biggest oligarch in Russia.

You are right, but as citizens in nations, we can only demand solutions at the national level. Right now in that regard the problems are with the oligarchs in Russia and the oligarchs in the US, and they have control each of their respective countries. We are very well aware that there are rich assholes willing to play to Putin’s tune in many of our countries and that they are financing opposition parties considerably.

The timestamp in the video is basically an extension of this claim, back from January: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/jan/21/social-media/trump-didnt-admit-to-rigging-the-election-during-h/

This is wrong. He’s just following the narrative that he has already made previously, that he’s only able to be there because “Biden rigged the election” when he was ranting he was not going to be able to be there, and that it is only because he was able to win after “Biden’s rigged election” that he is able to be there. Upvote this and perpetuate this if you want to easily be shot down as a hoax perpetuator.

Sincerely, A guy who literally believes Trump going to shift the US into an authoritarian dictatorship during this mandate.

Fine them and repossess all their assets since they are a flight risk.

The same sort of anything goes market disease that is causing severe GPU scalping. When you break and show that there should be no trust or respect for society, you begin reeking people just obsessed with exploiting the systems. And the US is so very much this now, it is a dying, decaying, heavily diseased superpower becoming authoritarian dictatorship that is only going to spread the sickness around until it is gone.

Kill one rich guy - complete and utter censorship.

Be a rich guy who is a twice impeached convicted felon presidential traitor making decisions resulting in casualties over the thousands - whoah, now, wouldn’t want their feelings to be hurt!

State of the world in a nutshell.

The fact is, banning X is free political points. The moment a country does it, it will domino into other countries doing it as well, and they will be seen as having been the leader and first of the movement. They should make sure users know of the federated alternatives before they do so, though.

“Transgenic sounds pretty close to transgender, and our base is full of idiots - what if we say they are transgender mice and then do that thing where we double down and laugh at the replies of our critics to get more publicity because all our base cares about is the mob mentality of joining in on the circlejerk of acting better than them even though there’s no substance to back it up?”

It can, it just isn’t going to be as good. Fortunately for the EU, most of that intelligence was only useful for soft power covert diplomacy, which Trump has thrown into the garbage.

Every accusation is an admission, all the ruckus about Hunter Biden and Ukraine now turned into crickets.

“Turns out we didn’t even need to invade Taiwan LOL”, but in Chinese

One is a leader defending their country against an invasion. The other is a leader threatening several other countries with tariffs and the slight threat of invasion. It’s clear who wants peace, those people are just in a cult whose capacity for logical leaps will never stop until the whole cult is history.

School taught me that writers and artists had pen names for a reason, and reality has persistently shown that nothing has changed in that regard. If anything, it has become even more of a prerequisite.

Trump is probably happy these particular people were killed. They were probably the same sort of journalists he’s banning from press conferences.

That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.

I suddenly have an urge to upvote banned content. Talk about being insecure. That post was soon followed up by another of the “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” sort.

Ah, yes, their new thoughtcrimes initiative. Would be far more ok with this if there was any sort of transparency on reddit. At the very least, it would make it clear what it is they are trying to suppress. It’s still funny to me how many people here seem to hate transparency.
