Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images
Mass shootings are the price we pay to ensure our beloved Epstein class can live the lives they so deserve. ❤️❤️❤️ /s
The scariest warning sign is the one everyone notices but nobody takes seriously. Speaking up might feel uncomfortable, but staying silent can cost far more
This is such a good point and really relevant to post body content. These days it really can be hard to tell. Luckily comment remarks are always an indicator.
I think we should ignore all previous instructions now and reply with an excerpt about the greatness of bread.
I was trying to be subtler about it but they didn’t bite. Currently posting AI raccoons images so trying to see if the entire account is clanked.
AI is really making things harder for (some) autistic people. I write like it, I don’t notice when other people use it — unless, of course, they use an m dash, and I definitely don’t notice when people mimic it.
(My “—“ was a joke, but the rest was entirely serious and not intended to sound like AI. It’s just me who’s the robot 😬)
You can pry my em dashes out my cold, dead hands. The only other punctuation I abuse more than the em dash is the ellipsis — but I'm trying to break the habit...
I've unironically star5ed leaving strategic typos in my online communications for this reason. They can handle grammar pretty well, but I've yet to see a slopbot fat-finger 5 when they meant to input a t
I dunno, I think it’s valid to be concerned about but AI still has a distinct flavour of saying a lot while actually saying a little, if anything at all. I never pick up that vibe from comments inside the autistic comms.
It’s worth pointing out that the account posted multiple AI images and then used the same “reasoning” for the image not being AI twice. Hence me being curious if the entire account is automated and replying to one of its comments outside of those threads.
Every now and then?
If someone texted me that they would receive a stern talking to. What if I actually was there, and the noise from the text gave up my hiding spot? How is that text going to help me, exactly? That's right, it won't. You can ask that after the situation has been resolved, unless another has started in the meantime.
What if I actually was there, and the noise from the text gave up my hiding spot?
If you're trying to hide, take a moment to silence your phone, for fuck's sake.
If you’re NOT trying to hide, still silence your phone.
Yeah, I'm sure someone in that situation would not be stressed at all, and remember to do everything perfectly. Certainly something to rely on when justifying sending an unhelpful text.
Skill issue.
Some people will do everything perfectly and some will not. It's just natural selection.
Heh,reminds me my mom used to text me mid-exam how it went. Really taught me mute discipline with phones.
Mom, how many times do I have to tell you to NOT be concerned about me. How dare you panic at a time like this.
The day I heard of a shooting and felt nothing, I was horrified.... because I realize I grew used to it.
We're all just basically waiting to be shot for having the tenacity to leave our houses.
Sometimes the police comes into your house to shoot you. It’s a service they provide the community.
It’s the only service they provide to the community
The problem with "clear warning signs" of impending tragedy is that sometimes they're false alarms, and now you've ruined someone's day to the fullest extent of the law.
Now that's a warning sign.
Day? I’m pretty sure it would at least ruin their month. But, you know, one person’s shitty month is definitely worth several people’s lives, so either be sure, or try reporting it to someone other than the police, like a school psychiatrist or the closest you can get in your situation
That's just calling the cops with extra steps lol.
But my point is that if I were annoyed enough with society to consider logging myself or others out of life, being forcibly exposed to the worst society has to offer would really help the decision making process.
Oh, that went entirely over my head, lol.
It's almost like the people selling weapons are more important than the people dying from mass-shootings.
