pretty much everyone from lemmygrad and hexbear dismiss anything from any western outlet as propaganda while uncritically spouting insanity from the putin regime or the ccp.

i saw someone unironically posting about “democratic dictatorship” yesterday. good times

and im taking the hat with me

You are dying on an an hill made of data chosen in piecemeal by news outlets that profit off of your attention.

mk bud. i cant believe you still dont understand why those rates are misleading. good luck out there

Your statistic doesn’t support your conclusion. His statement is not contradicted, and is in fact true.

Several articles about how poorer taxpayers are significantly more likely to be targeted:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-audit-eitc-five-times-as-likely-to-get-audited/

https://www.propublica.org/article/irs-sorry-but-its-just-easier-and-cheaper-to-audit-the-poor

An article about how audit rates are dropping in general, and dropping fastest for those with the highest incomes:

I never said to ignore it for low income taxpayers, but the statistic you provided is incredibly misleading. Plus the IRS would recoup far more money by auditing higher income taxpayers at much greater rates.

the misleading thing about that statistic is that there are far, far fewer wealthy people than there are normal. even with the rate of audits technically being lower, the number of audits of normal people is still far, far greater, and is where the IRS’s focus truly is

Meta/Facebook and Google/Alphabet are very different from Twitter/X. The first two created parent companies under which their large brand names still exist, but are now managed along with their other properties (Instagram, Snapchat, Waymo, Deepmind, etc.) Musk, meanwhile, is trying to completely burn down the Twitter brand for some incomprehensible reason.

Actually it’s worse than nothing. Youtube promotes comments based on engagement, so while only an upvote increases the tally, voting at all still makes it more visible.

It’s a bug. I’ve been getting it too, pretty sure it’s related to how much stress the server is under. Give it a few minutes and refresh the page.

Peacock straight up disallows anyone running Linux from using it, regardless of what browser they’re using. Guess I’ll just pirate lol

Doing some quick searching, I don’t think SAM (AMD’s name for resizeable BAR) is available on the 5000 series, just 6000 and up. You’d need an AMD CPU as well.

I’ve been running a 6700XT with an Intel CPU and it hasn’t been bad, but not great either. I’ve had trouble with the most recent graphics drivers; I tried to update in May and had to deal with a bunch of blackscreens before finally reverting to November’s drivers. Luckily AMD has old drivers available directly on their website.

Messing with the GPU’s performance settings within Adrenaline (AMD’s version of geforce experience) is also super buggy, only working for a few hours at best before crashing and reverting. I’m talking anything physical, from overclocking to just increasing ambient fan speeds. Their bug reporter is also terrible! Changing render settings for specific games has worked fine, as well as deactivating the ingame overlay, but while I think you should play with it just to see how it works for you, I can only recommend using Adrenaline as a temperature monitor.

At the end of the day though it’s not much buggier than my ancient dual 680 setup was lol, and it’s like half the price of Nvidia stuff so I’d say you probably won’t regret the purchase

If you say so. I have also spent my fair share of time looking at the autogenerated captions and I’d say that on average, every other sentence is mangled in some way that makes it nearly impossible to understand. Maybe it’s better than nothing if it’s a video that someone really has to watch, but in general I think the existence of the autogenerated captions makes creators less likely to handle it themselves since they feel like it’s already covered.

if it’s anything like their ai-powered subbing, itll be almost completely useless. it’d be one thing to have an ai read out user provided subs, but this article says the ai is gonna do the transcription too so lol gl

Extremely rarely do racists, homophobes, transphobes, and the like specifically say “I hate x,” because then it gets harder to rationalize that away both to yourself and others.

That said, yes, she has. Lots of claiming being trans isn’t a legitimate identity. Referring to trans women as “trans identifying men.” Wrote a literal novel about trans women being serial killers, sniffing panties and hanging out in bathrooms to claim their next victims. Trying to speak for cis lesbians and claiming trans women are especially dangerous to them, despite cis lesbians being one of the least transphobic demographics and not being a lesbian herself. Retweeting hateful statements from even more blatant transphobes. Oh and I nearly forgot, straight up taking the label “TERF” and wearing it like it’s somehow a badge of pride.

I know you said you don’t want to watch some super long youtube video about it but I’m going to link to two of them anyway; it’s a complex topic! They’re pretty funny and come from the perspective of a trans woman with a background in academia. This one is pretty recent and comes with the added bonus of teaching you a lot about the history of social justice in general, and the fight for LGBT rights in particular. This one is older but is more focused on Rowling. Just keep in mind she’s done much worse since that video came out.
