  • If they’re high quality editors who consistently put out a lot of edits then yeah, it is meaningful and insightful. Wikipedia exists because of them and only them. If most feel like they do and stop doing all this maintenance for free, then Wikipedia becomes a graffiti wall/ad space and not an encyclopedia.

    Thinking the immediate disgust of the people doing all the work for you for free is meaningless is the best way to nose dive.

    Also, you literally had to scroll past a very long and insightful comment to get to that.

    California is full of people who are Mexican immigrants and people who have lived here since it was Mexico. ‘Stop waving Mexican flags after Mexican Americans and Latinos in general were kidnapped off the street’ is stupid and every minute spent focusing on making protestors protest in a way which will satisfy everyone—which, what do you know, just happens to be a fool’s errand that will result in support from nobody—is a minute you could have been telling ICE and the LAPD to fuck off instead.













  • If using AI to make ‘art’ (have a machine regurgitate other people’s art, the ones available right now literally can’t exist without other people’s art that it was trained on without permission, you don’t get to just skip this part because it annoys you) makes you an artist, then so does paying someone to make art and telling them how to make it. And walking into a restaurant and ordering something also makes you a chef. Paying to have someone build your house? You better believe that makes you an architect, carpenter, plumber, and electrician.






  • IANAD, but according to my doctor the PT (on your own at home) is permanent. 😩 I keep thinking it’s a lie and I’ll be fine skipping it if I’m active, and then wind up on another round of prednisone so that I can actually walk.

    Not to discourage you, the PT definitely gets less painful! And if they say you don’t have to keep it up then I’d listen to them. But basically don’t be me and think you can cheat on PT after finishing in person appointments, lol.
