It's also really hard to support a group whose opening sally was parading around the body of a dead innocent on the back of a truck.

There shouldn't be any support for either political side here. Neither is morally superior. The only people deserving support are the poor citizens getting punished for their bloodthirsty leaders. Atrocities should never be supported, no matter the justifications.

Besides all the reasons other commenters have said, it's because mental health is a pseudo-social phenomenon among teens.

Having a mental illness gets them attention, online and in person. I have two teens, and even though both have diagnosed mental illness due to trauma from their other parent, they still seek, discuss, and revel in self-diagnoses.

If a friend claims to have something, they rush to the internet to do "research," and begin exhibiting "symptoms." Same thing is true with other labels.

We have a dearth of parenting, due to needing two incomes to make a household run. Adult attention is scarce, so teens make up for it with wild claims and garnering attention from other teens. The internet makes it easy to model behaviors. So yes, there is an increase in mental illness, but not the kinds, nor for the reasons the internet would have us believe.

The only times God has spoken directly to me were to tell me I was being stupid.

The point of mask mandates is short term. They are meant to slow the spread, not stop it.

Agreed. It's just a good idea to learn from the mistakes of the opposition.

It's tricks people use. It is always beneficial to examine your own biases and try to figure out if you're thinking inside an unnecessary box. Even on a personal rather than political level.

It's possible to feel strongly and still be independent. Partisan politics package often inconsistent ideology together. You don't have to be milquetoast to want an a la carte approach to politics.

My brother and I used to play a game called Splatterhouse on Turbografx-16. It was humorously horrifying, given the highly pixellated gore on screen.

Pandora is supposed to be paid ad-free, but you can't pick specific songs, I think.

Maybe you can copyright the prompt itself. But not the output.

But there is nothing about the person themselves that affects the outcome of the prompt.

You probably actually wouldn't when it's 5 times more expensive.

You do know it's not an either- or situation, right? You can be both.

Everything you said is so true.

I rarely comment with this (Beehaw) handle, because so many men see an opposing point of view as an excuse to school me on being nice. It's NOT MEAN to refuse to accept someone telling you what you meant. It's NOT MEAN to have an opinion while female. And if it is mean, then I'm happy to be mean.

Well, yes. AI models don't extract meaning. They parrot statistically likely responses based on words used. They had to research that?

Somebody needs to read Momo.

I see you're an optimist.

I was summarizing what YOU said. Good bye.

Point out where I spoke for all women?

I can perfectly handle you saying what is a turn off to you. I just told you I'm glad to be a turn off for you, if you think sheer physical appearance is enough to be attracted.

I'm moving on from this conversation, now. Your emotions are getting in your way here, and I'm not interested in playing Whack-a-Mole on your straw men.

Where did I once compare men to women, or say they were inferior? Every comment called out a pattern of behavior, which pattern is the topic of the article.
