In the age of LLMs, it’s pretty well guaranteed that it’s going to be far worse than described in a study from five years ago. Anecdotally, it feels to me like closer to half if not more of the responses I get are engagement bait. It’s not just corpo, a lot of it is government trolls trying to shape opinion, domestic government and foreign governments. I don’t post anymore at all - just read - and that only in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.

Are people having a hard time remembering this? I sure don’t. If there’s any hilarity to be found in any of this, he’s going to get fucked anyway.

Lemme know how it goes! Be aware, not all Hatch chiles are spicy, you can get them in mild or hot to your liking, obviously, I prefer hot. But then again, I actually get them from Hatch, NM once every few years and freeze them.

Sure thing.

1 lb pork shoulder
32 oz water
4 tsp chicken bouillon granules
1 can (14oz) petite diced tomatoes
1 cup of roasted/peeled hatch peppers diced (or 1 cup prepackaged/canned diced)
2 Tbs fresh lime juice
1 tsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/4 tsp each paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin
2 Tbs corn starch/2 Tbs water slurry

Directions: Cube pork into 1" cubes and add to deep soup pan over a burner on high. Allow pork to cook through on high heat, allowing it to carmelize and render out a good percentage of the fat (remove rendered fat or leave it in for as decadent as you like it). Deglaze with about 1/4 cup of the water and scrape well to get all the bits loose. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the corn starch/water slurry). Bring everything to a boil, then turn heat to medium/low. Simmer for one hour, until the pork chunks break down. Use a masher to stringify the pork and distribute it throughout. Add 2 tbs corn starch/2 tbs water slurry to boiling mixture at the end and stir to thicken. Allow to cook uncovered for 15 more minutes.

Edit: Finished product looks like this. Apologies in advance for the American measures, lol.

Hatch Green Chile Pepper Soup. It’s cheap, fabulous and spicy. The Hatch green chilis are the star of course, but it also has pork, bouillon, diced tomatoes/tomato paste, lime juice, and spices.

Somebody needs to have a word with Ohio.

I have a copy of the first edition of “The Internet for Dummies.” It’s worthless, just like the Internet.

Explain how this is disingenuous though.

I had downloaded the full (no pictures) Wikipedia earlier this year for exactly this reason. This thread told me about kiwix, which is awesome, so I downloaded the “Wikipedia .08” using kiwix, which is the best 45,000 articles from Wikipedia with pictures and it’s 7G, very manageable, has most topics anyone would care about.

I mean, this is really probably the best use I can think of for AI slop, let’s give credit where it is due.

Same here. I made sure I quit all the drama subs, all the big subs and I only keep my carefully curated niche content communities in my reddit feed. There’s really nothing on Lemmy about, say… Elite Dangerous, so I still browse it to keep up on what’s new.

What I don’t do is engage. Reddit is too full of bots and too full of itself to be of any usefulness in engagement. I can’t help them, they can’t help me, there’s no point in doing anything but reading on Reddit.

Lemmy, on the other hand, is almost all engagement, because without it there’s not much else, unless you like memes, which I do. Talking to people here is rewarding and interesting, the exact opposite of reddit, which delights in doing nothing but shitting on your head and being generally insufferable/boring.

I want to believe.

Just a guess, but I figure Isreal must want their asset back. What do you suppose Mossad has on Trump? Surely not nothing, he had to be the easiest of marks back in the day.

Old school. Also the flip side:

“They have been radicalized by Democrat Party rhetoric that describes anyone who doesn’t share their warped and twisted world view as fascists, worthy by implication of execution,” Miller said.

Dude incites violence against Democrats eight times in one sentence and what’s the sentence ostensibly about? Democrats inciting violence.

It’s stunning how these guys are able to remain on point 24/7. Like that AZ moron who ends every Twitter post with “Democrats hate America.” No, it’s just you, dumbass.

Sick and twisted is what it is. Or as some might say, “fascist.”

Mr. Lovenstein would like a word with this guy.

Another reason why billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Yeah OK, we can talk about that, sure. The point remains. Comedy won’t do that either.

Comedy will not keep me from going bankrupt from medical debt, create a robust middle class or for that matter, produce the Epstein files.

Also, comedy is subjective. As an example, I don’t think it’s funny, I think it’s fucking dumb. Third rate 4-chan trolling shit is only mildly amusing when coming from a fourth grader, it’s absolutely retarded coming from the octogenarian president of the United States.
