I quit smoking and drinking a year or so ago and I’m no happier than I was before I quit.

It is hard to read that kind of statement without thinking about a wide variety of toys and things to do with them.

Hypocrisy is the water conservative “Christians” swim in.

I never became a discord guy, but it seems like IRC (not federated the same way lemmy/mastodon/etc are but functionally similar) would meet the requirements.

Reading this is like reading anti-drug propaganda from the 90’s. Like, sure there are concerns about young people, especially boys, getting radicalized online. But the coverage is so lurid and skewed that it loses credibility.

It’s not really a matter of opinion at this point. What is available has little if any benefit to anyone who isn’t trying to justify rock bottom wages or sweeping layoffs. Most Americans, and most people on earth, stand to lose far more than they gain from LLMs.

The word order is incorrect English. “Israel shoots dead activist” indicates they shooting was done to a corpse. The correct wording would be “Israel shoots activist dead” meaning that Israel shot a living activist resulting in their death. As far as using the word “murder,” while I agree with it that is a legal concept that journalists avoid when discussing state actions to guard against charges of libel.
