Libertarianism does not exist.

It’s a stalking horse for generic conservatism, where ingroup good and outgroup bad. Then you shuffle cards to form argument-shaped sentences following the word “because.” If they differ from yesterday’s sentences, eh, who cares.

‘Do a whole bunch of shit at once’ seems unreliable. But you can image-to-image from parts of a whole render, and get specific pieces to come out better, and then fit back into the big picture.

The two elements of useful generation seem to be filtering and editing. Say you’re doing a comic page. You want a particular expression in one panel? Yeah, you’ll have to try several times, maybe doodle over a near miss and refine. You want a particular layout? Well then do panels individually and lay them out; talking the model into a specific pattern is harder and worse.

Youtube’s YTMND era.

High aspect ratio for loitering.

The tactical I-beam is definitely a choice.

Fuck off calling it a mistake, AP. They did it on purpose and they’re trying to do it again.

“Use the torrents, damn!”

Octopodes only live a couple years, and thank god. They would be the menace seen in sailors’ imaginations if they just kept growing and learning.

Octopussen.

Some of those adults are fascists.

Do you pass them the megaphone? Do they get a turn?

Bigotry and swearing are not the same thing, and you fucking know it. A site named We Are Racists™ does not get the benefit of the doubt, unless it’s instantly evident that’s some kind of joke. This site named for extremist conservative rhetoric proudly declares it’s for extremist conservative rhetoric and exclusively contains extremist conservative rhetoric.

They’re not acting fascist because it’s funny.

Reactionary conservatives ‘owning the libs’ is fascist behavior. It is extreme right-wing rhetoric. It is rooted in a worldview that’s all bad faith, campism, and proudly intolerable behavior. Why the fuck would you ever excuse it.

I don’t dislike The Blaze, Breitbart, or Fox News because of their bias, I dislike them for their poor credibility.

Why the fuck don’t you dislike racist blogs, for their racist bias? They could be doggedly accurate in the specific details of their reporting - and they’d still be doing it from a hateful and divisive worldview, with intent to spread and deepen that over bigotry. Accurate statistics about gang violence and birthrates don’t make hyperfixation on those things any less racist!

You are defending the honor of a literal Nazi newspaper, on the basis of ‘hey, maybe they did good field work.’ We are talking about people tried at Nuremberg. “Don’t buy it” was obviously not a solution, despite your diehard libertarian bent. Sometimes problems come and find you.

Nobody needs “all ends of the political spectrum,” when that includes Nazis. We don’t need Nazis. Bigotry, as a political worldview, is explicitly forbidden on this server, and good fucking riddance. No service needs to be all things to all people, and hey guess what, most people choose services based on what they don’t include. Reddit being cool with fascists was a world-changing problem, and a big part of why I fucking left.

You are why bigots spread. ‘Nazis should get a voice so long as they act polite and bring evidence’ is a literal invitation for bad-faith “scientific racism” horseshit. Free speech means the government won’t arrest you for being asshole - not that assholes deserve any better response than “fuck off, asshole.”

Completely stupid and fantastic.

… oh my god, I hadn’t seen the followups.

The Holocaust is when I can’t use a website. >:(

How aggressively does someone have to announce they’re a right-wing crank, before you’ll believe them? My guy - if a site tolerates posting reactionary shit “to trigger others,” that’s the line you want. That’s what you think is beyond the pale. That’s moderation failure that was entirely predictable by just looking at the site.

We do not need abundant examples of what this niche shitpost factory is about, when it is named shitpost dot factory. Their fucking brand is in the fucking name and I’m yelling this at my screen as I’m typing this because dealing with denialist horseshit is only marginally less tolerable than dealing with denialist horseshit apologism.

Christ.

There was a point where the actual Nazis were just a political party. Where the local consensus on the label, Nazi, was that it was pricks in bad outfits loosely associated with violent agitation. Would you have told me, a century ago, that Der Sturmer should be judged on its merits, until we have sufficient evidence they’re not merely biased? I mean surely everyone’s biased. Perhaps we should write in to Herr Streicher with corrections, and see if staff writers walk back their vitriolic rhetoric. We should eat the whole turd to be sure it’s not a crab cake.

Is what a good reason to do a instance wide defederation of the instance?

Look me in the eyes:

Yes.

Don’t platform Nazis.

Broken stair.

We must always question whether woman are people. What if the answer’s different, this time?

We must always debate which race is best race. We must always entertain the idea trans people cause hurricanes. We must always seriously consider and politely discuss the blood libel.

If you know that kind of open-ended wank wasn’t what I was talking about, why did you fucking say it?

We’re not talking about academic criticism of open-ended questions with troubling loose ends. We are discussing bigots. This is a forum of bigots, by bigots, for bigots. The questions they ask are not worth your time or mine, even when they are sincere.

If you’d still split hairs about ‘real conservatives’ like they’re not marginal fair-weather whiners when the horrifying shit they proudly voted for harms them - this site is not for them. This site is for the rest of the assholes, the diehards, the reactionary extreme. Hence the fucking name.

None of it matters.

Conservatives just make shit up to justify whatever they want next.

The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer. Some asshole going ‘Ah-HA!’ does not matter, if they’ll do that in response to aaanythiiing. Preventing their nonsense from spreading is the correct answer. You have to protect people from abuse that works.

Abuse that works forty percent of the time, apparently. Thank god a mere plurality is insufficient to ever cause problems.

TD was a successful propaganda megaphone that only got shut down after it shit up millions of people’s feeds for most of a decade. It successfully radicalized god knows how many politically interested young minds. The right answer was to ban that shit, immediately. And when they try mewling about how calling reactionary bigots Nazis makes you the Nazi, ban them again.

Some questions have these things called “answers.” We do not need to endlessly discuss them, with assholes, on sites by and for their specific brand of reality-denying assholes. Sometimes “both sides” is the right side and the wrong side - and contrarian chin-stroking is poorly distinguished from frothing wackadoodle denialism.

This god damn website is named heil.hitler and you wanna take a wait-and-see approach to whether they’ll cause problems. Frothing wackadoodle denialism is their brand. We don’t need to federate with flat.earth, or thejews.did.it, or hexbear. You are allowed to recognize when people openly cause problems on purpose, and not sit around waiting for problems to happen, like it’s a fucking surprise.
