I Feel Like The Big Push For AI Is Starting To Flag. Even My Relatively Tech Obsessed Dad Is Kinda Over

“My body, my choice” only makes sense when someone else’s life isn’t at stake.

Storoooop pleaes

this is my family. What is their fault for living in oppression and genocide? What is the sin of abstaining from food and drink? . How can you imagine them being besieged for three consecutive days without any necessities for life, including food, drink, milk, sleeping children trembling with fear, and the sounds of bullets, beatings, and flying? The worst day for them. They are now in a tent that does not protect anything. Rather, the situation is made worse by skin diseases and insects, and the lack of water makes matters worse. My child is still sick, and being away from me is affecting her greatly. She misses me, cries every day, and I can't bear this pain anymore.

I'm here for them. I try to knock on all doors and pray that people will meet with mercy, good hearts and humanity. Please donate, share and save my children's innocent lives. They want to live in peace

I am here to appeal to all of you, people of compassionate hearts and humanity, to donate for the sake of my sick child, so that I can be satisfied with her treatment and give her hope that she will meet with me soon. Please donate, share, and mention those with large accounts to help.🥺🥺🙏

Please we are in urgent need of your help 💔😓

My child suffers from severe infections, and my mother-in-law is bedridden after falling into a coma caused by anemia.

We live as homeless after once living with dignity and working respectable jobs. 💔

Every day, we struggle against hunger and cold, unable to afford food or medicine, while the bombing continues above us. We have already lost many of our loved ones and relatives.😢

All I ask for is a chance to save my family. We need $60 weekly to provide essential medicines for my child and mother-in-law, baby formula, and a bag of flour, which now costs $300 and is our main food source.

There are days we go to bed very hungry. 🥺

Please, I don’t know what to do to save my family. We are in desperate need of your help. You are our only hope. 🙏 💚

When the anti "LGBT propaganda" law passed in Russia, all of you were going insane and cared. Give Georgia the same energy. If you can have sympathy for our oppressors on the basis of them being queer, you should keep the same energy for us, if not more.

If this law passes, every Georgian queer person I know is so severely fucked, myself included. If you make jokes about "being illegal in several countries" you better fucking care about the countries you're apparently illegal in, or going to be illegal in.

Make sure to spread this around. This is important.

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.
