Condoning or condemning atrocities has rarely been about the race, nationality, religion, etc. of who was harming or being harmed. Whoever is in power at the time decides what is condoned or condemned.

20th century Jews were at the mercy of a seemingly-unstoppable German force. Now that Israel are largely in charge of the immediate region, they set the tone, forgetting what had been done to their ancestors.

Americans weep and gnash teeth over foreign atrocities while standing on the blood of Indigenous people their powerful ancestors were perfectly fine murdering just to gain land.

African tribes slaughtered each other long before becoming victims of Euro/American slavery.

I’m not justifying any of it. Just saying it’s the ebb and flow of who is in power at the time that determines who gets to decide what’s condoned or condemned, not the race, etc. of the aggressor or victim. Over centuries and millennia, many/most nations and peoples will take turns giving and receiving atrocities. All you need is an evil leader and just enough supporters to make it seem “ok enough”.

The number of people in this thread stumped by the “rotate a PDF” comment, even what it means at all, while a smartphone has been 95-100% of their “computer” usage in their lives.

“Trained to run around a forest”

So, like a dog? :)

But critics warn the [AI] system is unproven at best — and at worst, providing a technological justification for the killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians.

This 2023 article didn’t age well.

Just wild that some losers need to advertise how dumb they are.

Pretty sure it’s “when” for everyone.

To be fair, there’s are way too many people who freak out if you put your tree up “too soon” or take it down “too late” for their personal taste. These may be the same people who worry about who’s sleeping with who, while none of affects them.

Wow, lots of people can’t take a joke.

I was leery of AI early on, but people told me it has tons of good potential uses. Sure, it seems to help search results, but almost every other time I hear about AI, it’s for negative reasons.

Power has to be the only driver for someone who already has hundreds of billions of dollars. If I had just one billion you’d never hear from me again, ever. Literally on an island or traveling the world. Bye, Felecia!

They probably get bored in their echo chambers and eventually want to try their five or six canned lines on someone new.

I honestly had no idea his real name until this.

lol, it’s from a song. Might want to google things you don’t understand before making negative comments.

Yes, those are the same thing. The person you’re replying to makes some good points, but in a word-salad way.

They’re confusing something the president didn’t do as a non-action, but “not telling the truth” = “lying”.

I think (hope) what they were trying to say was the common saying, something like, “Judge someone more on what they do than what they say.” For example, if a president says “protect America”, like who wouldn’t want that? But when what they “do” is deport legal, non-criminal immigrants who have valid work and school visas, that is what you should be watching.

Is this the rap analogy? Nice.

If you saw someone about to get raped on your sidewalk, and you just went inside without defending them or calling 911, don’t you realized you helped FACILITATE the rape? Not voting is facilitating the other votes to matter more.

Do you not realize EVERY helpful message is important, and often shared across all platforms, and can be good talking points with Conservative friends?

Always discuss topics with unlike-minded people. Every one persuaded even a little is a win. Discussing only with like-minded people is an echo chamber.

Correct, but you can make the “better side” votes count more than the “worse side” votes by participating. Sitting on your couch and not absolutely includes you in fault of the worse side winning, just like the rape scenario you didn’t comment on.
