From a financial perspective it's not really a secret -- big money is backing the far-right and conservative media and political sphere. Systems like GoFundMe and others are ripe targets for grifting of course, but they're also ripe for manipulating public opinion. Do you have an agenda and lots of money? You can easily afford bot services and then split your pile of money up among dozens, hundreds, thousands or more different accounts to give the impression that a cause like this is more popular than it is. Or you can use your social media influence to manipulate people into donating on your behalf. And of course the bonus is that it emboldens and encourages those who actually do believe this shit to speak up and participate, amplifying the message even more.

And aside from all that, there's just a subset of people who are out of touch but who truly believe that danger is imminent and lurking around every corner. They're getting fear based messaging from social media, Fox News, and elsewhere that's got them literally thinking that illegal immigrants are hiding in the bushes ready to murder them the moment they step out of their car. I know people whose world view is so skewed towards fear that they genuinely think it's dangerous to go into the city of 40K population for a doctor's appointment. They think people are getting murdered left and right on every street corner every minute of every day. And no amount of reassurance from a more sane and measured perspective seems to change that.

AI doesn't make you seem like a bot. Honestly, you're a bit mixed up there.

The internet is packed with arrogant idiots who can't actually detect AI written content anywhere close to as well as they have deluded themselves into thinking -- they are the problem in this context.

AI was trained on the content people like you and I have been writing and posting on the internet for decades. It is AI that writes like us and uses our style, not the other way around.

Might've been mine. I set mine down to take a call and then walked off, didn't remember until I was halfway to Breighdenleighburyham. If there are 113 beans in there, it's mine, but you are more than welcome to help yourself to a few of the beans.

A good piss, sure.

The 4th good piss this morning so, far? No as much. I'm trying to rot my brain here and it's getting hard to do that when I have to get up and pee every 34 minutes and 23 seconds.

Stick? Figures.

I had triple reverse anti-pro uber TACO squared, for whatever that's worth.

They're on Lemmy, why is that even a question?

Oh joy! I was given something similar, not quite the same brand/model. I have it on my agenda for this week or next week at the latest to deal with a pile of fallen limbs I've collected over the past year or so. Granted, mine is specifically described as a limb chipper. I was hoping it would make my life easier.

Strippers or bartenders.

Okay however many people where you denied about?

The doctor told me I need to lose 10 lbs. Now you're telling me I need to be an elephant. I don't know whose advice I should be taking.

It's well-established both colloquially and in industry that things produced by the human body and/or biological processes like human breast milk and human hair (used for wigs) are considered natural. Why would farts be any different?

The common meaning of synthetic in this context is that the product is manufactured chemically and/or mechanically and specifically excludes natural biological processes.
