they were mostly organised from something awful. the one in wow was called Ye Olde Goon Squad, or YOGS. some of them did casting (recording videos) of their playing. they called them YOGSCasts. just in case anyone wonders where that youtube channel started.
idk if working at nintendo is a fitting punishment for saying fuck
zionism is a movement started by non-jewish fascists in order to get rid of jews by way of mass deportation to palestine. the government of israel today is explicitly zionist in that their stated mission is to get rid of palestine. that would either leave millions of palestinians stateless and homeless (Ethnic cleansing of palestinians) or you force both countries together, which would cause easily the biggest bloodbath in history (Genocide of palestinians). There is no peaceful way of abolishing palestine, they are surrounded by a population that salvate at the very idea of killing palestinians.
ok
just in case you’re not just being difficult: a state with laws against religious disparagement and which is equating antizionism with antisemitism, can use those laws to criminalise criticism of israel.
it’s the antisemitism/antizionism mixup that’s important. israel the state has spent a lot of time the past years trying to make people think the two are the same.
i was not saying that a law is being broken. i was asking if there is such a law in austria, and saying that if that’s the case then the mods of the instance are just doing CYA policy. i am not against you here.
i am not a good german speaker, and i do not know their laws, but if any country would be quick to take israel’s side considering even recent history, it would be austria.
from a cursory google there are laws against “disparagement of religious doctrines”, which is article 188 of the austrian criminal code. there’s also talk about a law for quelling online hate speech which critics worried were being “passed through by way of a hot needle” and numerous articles on austria-israel relations, including one where either the chancellor for austria or the ambassador for israel says un a meeting that “antisemitism and antizionism are two sides of the same coin” (can’t find the article i read it at again).
this was not what i wanted to do just before going to bed.
i mean yeah, it is censorship. literally. most countries do not have a notion of free speech. if the instance breaks the law of the country it’s in then it can’t operate there anymore.
german austrian acceptable speech law too?
prevent people from opposing the government
…so it’s working then
that’s not a workable strategy because when you redefine terms like that you sound just like a conspiracy theorist. exhaust gases are not “chemtrails”, they’re exhaust gases. they’re dangerous and everywhere, but they’re not a secret government conspiracy.
we don’t need a “new way” to talk about things with people who refuse to understand.
oh, its vermicular michaelis. right.
no, star wars is political in the “old” sense.
i had no idea this was a thing in american courts. it just seems like an insane thing to include in a murder trial
i was responding to the questions posted in the comment i replied to.
also, doesn’t that make this entire thing worse?
i have done this once as an adult. it was late, noisy and hot and i just felt the moment my social battery totally emptied out. had to stand up and say “i have to leave now, good night” because otherwise i would not have had the energy to make it home.
it would hold the same meaning as now, which is nothing.
this is automatic writing with a computer. no matter what you train on, you’re using a machine built to produce things that match other things. the machine can’t hold opinions, can’t remember, can’t answer from the training data. all it can do is generate a plausible transcript of a conversation and steer it with input.
one person does not generate enough data during a lifetime so you’re necessarily using aggregated data from millions of people as a base. there’s also no meaning ascribed to anything in the training data. if you give it all a person’s memories, the output conforms to that data like water conforms to a shower nozzle. it’s just a filter on top.
in regards to the final paragraph, i want computers to exhibit as little personhood as possible because i’ve read the transcript of the ELISA experiments. it literally could only figure out subject-verb-object and respond with the same noun as it was fed, and people were saying it should replace psychologists.
trans men never enter the conversation. not because they don’t realise, but because the bathrooms aren’t the point.
i have never been asked this question and i actively remove positions that aren’t relevant to the job i send that particular resume to
interesting how the DDR is visible
