Movies released in 2015 in which Judy Greer is a divorcée to a man named Scott

Get a job

So this is how we can get the current administration to acknowledge unemployment numbers

“Do you, the people, really believe that Donald Trump would have sexual relations with an adult?”

Honestly how bad must Hillary’s head game be if you’re not sated by Lewinsky and you find yourself going to Trump instead

This comic really confused me at first because I couldn’t make out what that first item was and because there are no motion lines. Reading OP’s caption clarified things for me.

This is Help

Maybe a life preserver ring won’t become out of date? 🛟

Google prioritizes Reddit results FYI

Yes, I think of them as circumstantial evidence rather than hard evidence.

That is the definition of enshittification… right? I don’t know, I can’t check

Detrimental

While I appreciate you calling out AI content, it is helpful to substantiate how you concluded that it is AI generated to prevent people thinking these claims are all false positives. Nothing in the image seemed uncanny to me (apart from whatever physics would be required to make the suit itself). Several different online AI image detectors all claimed this image was real. Reverse image searches led to only recent social media posts with no further details. I did find two sources (of dubious credibility) that claim it to be AI generated

Source 1: https://x.com/i/trending/1987710874111398067

Source 2: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/beer-jacket-viral-trend/

Despite the apparent lack of any AI generated image traits (as far as the detectors and me can tell), since there is apparently no further details and all of the information is new and “viral”, I would think this is AI generated. It would also make sense as an awareness marketing scheme for the beer brand on the front of the coat.

What characteristics stuck out to you?

On social media like Reddit, unnecessary censorship is often used as engagement bait. As far as I am aware, comments on the Threadiverse (a broader term than just “Lemmy”) only boosts posts upward in the Active category rather than in the Hot category, so that form of engagement bait uniquely does not really work here. Additionally, bots on Reddit would repost (either from old Reddit posts or directly from the source social medium) screenshots of tweets with the username edited to a different user, sometimes even celebrities, to bypass image recognition filters.

In my mind, it’s always best to cite your source if you can. However, if you can separate the self-focused fluff (if there is any) from the actual content, that would be even better. An example of this is a screenshot of a TikTok with a paragraph of soapbox text located near the content creator’s face; we don’t need the excess focus on the clout-chasing, so cropping the image to just their paragraph (assuming it is an original quote) and citing the creator would be better in that case.

On another sidenote, unlike Reddit, you can edit your posts here to change the image in the post.

Why censor username?

Do you have links to any examples? I can’t say I’ve seen a whole lot of what you’re describing apart from a few isolated posts or comments here or there. I’d suggest checking to see if a significant portion of these posts are coming from a specific community or from a specific instance, and then adjusting your blocks to accommodate.

P.S. Since we’re on the topic, I’m not a bot; I just talk and write like this.

P.P.S. That’s not entirely true. I would have written “I’m not a bot—I just talk and write like this.” but it didn’t seem like an appropriate time to use an em dash.

I can’t do a thought police, but that is categorically what cults do. It’s not thought policing to advise people to be wary of thought policing or to promote scientific literacy and empathy.

Yeah, the situation got resolved when harm came in. You gotta commit an actual crime to be punished right?

I was meaning more so addressing the beliefs in absurdities before they result in committing atrocities, to paraphrase Voltaire.

How do you suggest we go about doing that?

What about in the case of the aforementioned Rajneeshpuram (prior to the mass food poisoning) where they politically overtook a town and armed themselves? They effectively seized the mechanisms you mentioned on a local level, and it wasn’t until people got directly and clearly hurt by them that a larger governing body interfered in a way which did eliminate their presence.
