What is this way of thinking called? I see it a lot and sometimes it bothers me...
"I hate (let's say, the color blue) because my toxic ex likes it and therefore because they're a bad person, everyone who likes blue is a bad person and should die!"

Americans of Lemmy, what are your thanksgiving family traditions?
As someone who didn't grow up in the US, I don't have a large family here, nor do we have any thanksgiving traditions outside of turkey or ham for dinner. But I wanted to learn some new traditions, specially some I can do with adults as my kids are in college.

Why aren't more people re-examining past conspiracies as trust in mainstream media declines over Gaza coverage?
People are losing trust in mainstream media because of perceived biased coverage of the Gaza genocide. If that erosion of trust is real, why isn't it prompting wider public re-examination of historical cover-ups and contested narratives — Watergate, Iran–Contra, Iraq, even shifting beliefs about who “beat” the Nazis? If we don't question how past information was shaped, what’s the point of preserving evidence (e.g., Gaza genocide evidence recently removed from YouTube by Google)? Won’t this all be forgotten in a few years, the same way all those previous events are no longer discussed? ... read full post

How to differentiate between a AGI and an LLM that has read every book in existence?
Look, I don't believe that an AGI is possible or atleast within the next few decade. But I was thinking about, if one came to be, how can we differentiate it from a Large Language Model (LLM) that has read every book ever written by humans? ... read full post

Are you familiar with that thing where you eat popcorn and you get a tough little piece lodged way back in the depths of your mouth right by the base of your tongue?
It's an absolute bugger to get out, often involving a finger to work it free?

Do you use a dishwasher or wash dishes by hand?
Is there a real difference in water and electricity consumption? Personally, I don't use a lot of water to wash my dishes (by hand), but maybe I should install a flow meter to make sure.
What is your opinion on the subject? Do you have any evidence or studies available that could confirm your intuition? Or do you have other alternatives in mind?

Looking for a one-time paid (non-subscription) TTS program for android
Acapella lets me just outright buy a voice and download it for offline use but the voices are somewhat dated now. I don't mind large on device library and I don't mind paying once, but I want it to sound good and I want it to work 100% offline (and privately). Also would like a male voice if possible, I know most people seem to prefer female voices I guess, I've noticed male ones are harder to find. ... read full post
