It was probably a Sliders episode since 90s off-brad scifi did pretty much everything the twilight zone failed to, but it definitely was an entire movie

That touches on the heart of it; search engines have been so enshittified that AI is by default better, because it occasionally gets information from its training data that isn’t easily found through normal searching.

(Some) AI has it’s place, as in GAN AI is amazing at finding subtle indicators of patterns that can be extrapolated to new data, but got it’s just so bad at 99% of applications it has ever been used for, including the entire concept of LLMs which are such an inherently flawed technology that they’ll never be passable as useful for anyone that isn’t a greedy shortsighted CEO wanting to replace workers as soon as possible.

No, it doesn’t. The US currently bans all communists from applying to be citizens or have long term visas. That has been held as constitutional for pretty much 80 years.

Since the US allowed that discrimination in place without any popular uprising, this new restriction would entirely be allowed and encouraged by the American public.

Only took him 3 years of constant pressure from his constituents and more than 10 years now from leftists to finally be slightly anti-zionist.

I wasn’t aware of the lack of education in Australia, I’ll be sure to write smaller words and sentences when interacting with you all in the future.

…it’s racist to say the East Turkistan movement, created in 1992 by the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA front organization responsible for hundreds of propaganda outlets and colour revolutions across the many states of America’s and Israel’s enemies, is a terrorist movement, despite the fact it has been linked to more than a dozen instances of violence in Xinjiang, resulting in China’s investment in the region (and the accompanying very harsh treatment of all people in the region, not just the uyghur minority)?

Or are you saying it’s racist to say Uyghurs in Turkey live objectively worse lives than those in Xinjiang? Because then you’d have to take that up with the world bank.

Or are you saying it’s somehow a racist stereotype for Tibetans to be pedophiles? Because that’s just not true, it’s a documented historical fact that the Tibetan theocracy had child sex slaves, including the Lama at the time; if the Dalai Lama is reincarnated, then there’s at least 50 years there where it was documented that he explicitly raped children, regularly, and created an entire Priest class that had exclusive rights to whatever non-Priest-class children they wanted to fulfill their sexual desires. It’s one of the main reasons the civil war started; regardless of how you feel about China’s involvement after the civil war started – so it’s pretty clear that’s not a stereotype in any civilized land, just that Tibetan Buddhism is code for child sex.

So I’m failing to understand what you think is racist about any of this, I suppose I’m saying.

Sure, and it as a practice was pretty much wholesale created around the same time as Monty Python and lasers. It’s not an ancient Indian secret of the gurus on how to better prepare your body to serve the universe and aide your recinarnation.

It’s a moderate workout with mild scientific evidence that it is safe when practiced and learned slowly over a long time. The same as crossfit.

Pretending it is anything more than a way to order your thoughts and slow your heart rate; which reading and journaling both do with about the same scientifically measured effectiveness, is the woowoo part.

It’s not a tie to a spiritual world, or doesn’t raise nor lower your vibration or frequency or whatever nonsense is pushed by which ever nonsense ‘sect’ decides to use it to back their nonsense.

It’s useful in creating a relaxed environment for your body to not overreact and start it’s maintenance functions. And can be useful as a practice to control your thoughts into more useful patterns.

I agree, the people in charge of your instance, who happen to full-throatedly support the genocide of the palestinian people, do not however agree. That is something for your to wrestle with, and maybe choose a better instance should you wish to both advocate for or participate in acts prohibited to be discussed by lemmy.world’s rules.

‘Xenophobic’ my guy a culture of ignorance deserves to be criticized.

According to lemmy.world’s rules, as written by the Zionists in charge; advocating for any sort of violence would be against the rules. You have to go to those instances to see both proof of action plus advocating of further action.

My dude half the west believes there’s such a thing as a ‘uyghur genocide,’ half believe Israel has ever been a victim, and most still believe China is somehow a dictatorship despite that being an ancient CIA psyop.

There is no evidence a single person in the west has ever been taught critical thought, how to research claims, or that their government can lie through third parties that they’ve paid.

The real history behind Feng Shui is literally just how to not be as vulnerable to assassins and stubbed toes. The ‘woowoo’ stuff was added by whites in the US in the 1970s (like Yoga, meditation, and all other nonsense.

What could China do that the US dropping more bombs than were dropped during the entirety of WWII didn’t do?

What… what do you think modern Chinese history is? While it’s widely regarded as over, no peace treaty was ever signed. And while the KMT dictatorship lost power across the Taiwan islands in 1981, the resulting pseudo-government that formed afterwards also failed to introduce any cessation of hostilities. Hell right up until 1973 the KMT still wanted to invade the mainland again.

This war, like the Korean war, never ended. There was no formal end to either war, simply a continued pause in the hostilities. Worse, for your position, there is no active ceasefire agreement between the PRC and the pseudo-government on the island. The sole reason hostilities stopped in 1965 was because the US dedicated a carrier group to the area (and all the CIA-backed KMT soldiers that sheltered in Burma were finally routed and slowed their terror attacks down to focus on running drugs). At this point the PRC has dedicated itself to a peaceful unification, which has been the PRC’s position since 1965 when it was clear the few thousand remaining KMT soldiers could do no harm to mainland Chinese citizens and the need to be ever ready for war was taking far too many resources.

Give me one scholarly source that calls it a genocide

‘hey maybe an active civil war isn’t an example of imperialism’

“HURR DURR NO TRUE SCOTSMANNN”

…There’s video. You can just check and see.

Which western genocide are you confusing with the liberation of Tibet during its civil war?

Why do you think it is bad for the Sami to use the Dutch language? Why is it bad for the Cherokee to use English? Why is it bad for the Zulu to use Afrikaans?
