The holiday about spooky things and kids dressing up and getting candy is not religiously exclusionary no. Christmas’ origins were not, either, but we’re not talking about the origins of these holidays, we’re discussing them in their current form, so go be a pedant on some other thread. I’m sure there’s plenty where the pedantry could actually be relevant to the conversation taking place.
You’re gd right. Halloween is not a religious exclusionary holiday.
When you do things right people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all. In fact they’ll actively deny it.
A few years ago… Okay over a decade ago 🤕 Google offered a free course on “googling” with a certificate for completion. You’re damn straight I put that on my resume. Of course they’ve disabled half the tricks they taught us but now.
To change your views through osmosis. Eventually some of the idea will settle in.
Because not a single Republican has been held accountable for their actions since Nixon. Prove me wrong.
It takes years to plan a presidential run and the incumbent has a huge advantage. It’s infeasible to change the candidate now and would 100% split an already very polarized party. It’s a fake media controversy and the media companies are the ones causing people to feel that way by editing footage to make Biden look bad, attacking Biden’s stutter or slip up instead of Trump’s lies and gaslighting. The media is controlled by the rich and complicit in treason, but the rich never get their dues and the right is never held accountable.
The new testament stories were written well over a hundred years after. That would be like someone today writing an account of the civil war based solely on stories.
I’m chaotic good in my heart but lawful good because one needs a record of their work come review season.
Christianity and capitalism. If it doesn’t make you feel guilty the Christians don’t like it and if you can provide it to yourself for free the capitalists don’t like it.
The people of Israel have an Iron Curtain™️. The people of Israel choose to be there knowing they are colonizing the land and home of Palestinians. I’m Jewish and have a ‘birthright’ to do the same, but it’s unconscionable. I understand the plight of the Jewish people, I understand a free home and universal healthcare and education could be tempting. But it’s unconscionable. There is no defending it. There’s nothing you or anyone could say to excuse it. Anyone capable of doing the above to a fellow human being must be at best in need of deep reflection.
There are no sides, it’s a superpower state vs people. You ALWAYS side with the people. The state doesn’t need your help, they have everything already.
Yep! The article you’re commenting under, for example. Do you have any sources claiming the opposite?
Both sides are sticking electric spikes up each other’s asses? Please come back to reality, every released hostage of Hamas has said they were treated well and every hostage Israel has released has said they were brutalized.
I was told to carry a small balance to improve my credit and it works.
*Claim it’s a myth but I saw an improvement from paying off my balance every month. My broker told me to do it in advance of applying for a mortgage, I did try to fact check him but couldn’t find anything definitive one way or the other. When it came down to it though, my score improved by changing literally only that.
I think the real question is what is the value we are getting out of the resources used? Do we need AI forced into every platform? Personally, I don’t think so. But just to be sure I asked Chat GPT and here is its answer:
“Rather than integrating Al into every possible application, a more measured approach might be beneficial. Assessing the actual need and impact of Al in specific use cases can help avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Al should be implemented where it provides significant benefits and improvements, rather than as a default addition to every platform.”
So even the AI itself knows it is used frivolously.

Yep yep, same. Old droves get destroyed. My word that I’ll wipe the drive is apparently not enough.
Wtf are you talking about? Are you that hard up for an argument? Lemmy.ml is thataway. Anyway I’m Jewish and have been my whole life so the three months of Christmas in America made me feel extremely isolated and excluded as a kid, but I actually got to participate in Halloween. You can try and invalidate the experience of millions of non-christian non-white Americans but that doesn’t make you quirky and unique, either. No one is thinking “wow this dude is so smart!” for pointing out the capitalist undertone that’s shared by literally every holiday in western society. Now do kindly fuck off.
