This goes for Ireland too. I have not seen one single MSM journalist ask O’Callaghan, Burke, or Lawless how they reconcile their desire to cut immigration numbers with their own governmental reports showing an economic need for MORE inward migration. #speirghorm

Just pure gutter racism dressed up in a suit. Appalling stuff. And I wish I believed the media would put on their grown up pants and deal with this properly but I suspect they'll soft-soap and both-sides it into reality.

A significant contributor to the gender pay gap and the continuing financial disparity between men and women is the undervaluing of all of the unpaid care work done by women in Ireland. Women all over Ireland get up early, every morning, and go to work, unpaid and unvalued.

So the government cut excise on fuel to reduce fuel prices but are increasing public transport fares because of inflation. In a cost of living and climate crisis. Make it make sense.

One of them seduces her husband on camera because nothing says “love” like your wife’s camera crew getting in on the action. Other Girls get drunk and pretend to hump one another. They also have teensy French bulldogs who watch as they do this humping with the thousand-yard stare of Vietnam vets who have seen too much. If I can read the minds of these tiny dogs – and I believe I can – they’re thinking: “I am descended from the mighty wolf. I should be eating these people.” And also: “Please help me.”

The battle to keep global heating from passing the agreed 1.5-degree threshold has been lost. This should be an era when human ingenuity works to save the planet from catastrophe. Instead the tech broligarchy is busy embarking upon ludicrous AI data centre “infrastructure” fuelled by coal and gas.

Their excuse is "I'm making this game in my own time while I have a young family", which is not an excuse if you think of the thousands of games released by folks who didn't need to use GenAI..

Her descent into full blown anti-trans brainrot has been one of the more unexpected ones, but once it takes hold it really seems to consume people, till eventually hating on trans people is all they care about. If it didn't have awful real world consequences it'd be grimly fascinating

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.
