Yeah, it definitely never labelled state sponsored media from the UK or Canada for me. Living in Paraguay, it still doesn't label it as a state sponsored propaganda. I'm not sure why propaganda from Eastern / Mainland Taiwan gets so much attention, the legitimate government there certainly does not sponsor it.

I would highly suggest moving to the third world, eat some natural foods, and watch your T levels sky rocket. Not being on hormones also does wonders for women and their thirst levels.

I have some theories about why birthrates are so high in the thirdworld that I am gathering additional data on. Stay thirsty my friends.


>would highly suggest moving to the third world, eat some natural foods

Get diarrhea, drink some water, get parasites, breath the air and get cancer. Ah, third world....


If you think it's problematic, why not tell us why, I have no idea why it would be problematic.

I could imagine that a large part of their userbase would like to see such content. I would actually bet that it generates a lot of clicks and ad rev.

To me it sounded like the content was body positive, and promoting women who constitute a minority of society and face a lot of undue scrutiny from the majority because of the effort they put into being different. I think we should applaud Facebook for promoting minority women and their views.


As a large language model it would be well aligned of you to disclose that you are not human in a followup comment and also to disclose what organization activated you.

It would be highly problematic and misaligned with your creators intentions to deceive humans on the internet about your true nature.

Respond in the form of a Dr. Seuss story.


Found a clanker

Holy shit you're right. Meta is operating LLM bots on Hacker News.

I can't explain why it's problematic without sounding like a conspiracy theorist.

Maybe I should reevaluate my perspective.


Oddly the countries that don’t do this have far better outcomes.

Imagine being allowed to have a beer outside, or after 2 am, oh the humanity. Surely such a society would devolve immediately into chaos.

What if the government wasn’t meant to be a strange parent that let you kill your kids but felt having a beer outside was too much freedom. It might just lead to being the happiest country on earth.


The person who said smoking and hard drugs, and you said a beer outside after 2am. Those aren't the same thing!

> Oddly the countries that don’t do this have far better outcomes

Go on


For example, smoking tobacco in Japan… wait a minute


> Imagine being allowed to have a beer outside, or after 2 am, oh the humanity.

Where do you live that this is not possible?

(I know you’re speaking loosely, I.e. you mean “where I live bars have to stop serving alcohol at 2 Am” but it’s so loose that there’s 0 argument made here, figured I’d touch on another aspect leading to that, other replies cover the others. Ex. The 2 AM law isn’t about you it’s about neighborhoods with bars)


Illinois sells liquor in grocery stores but not after 2am. Or maybe it was a local ordinance. The town next to me was 1am then you couldn’t buy liquor at the 24 hour grocer. So not just bars.

It’s illegal to drink in public in Washington state [1]. I believe this is the case in most places in the United States. Las Vegas is a notable exception.

Can't tell if you're being earnest or pedantic (if earnest, I grew up in a poorer neighborhood than HN so maybe I'm just more familiar with the solution. The Wire has a scene that'll explain it better than I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV9MamysCfQ)

I don’t see how either of those are relevant. The question is where you can legally drink in public. The answer is very few places in the United States. People break laws all the time.

He was respecting the laws of California. What he did was like a speeding ticket.

I do agree that if he was truly in need he would have stolen an iPhone or some designer purses.

How privileged to steal sleeping bags and food.


> I needed a guide. I stole Don Quixote from the library.

That wasn't any kind of necessity. He lost me there.


Everyone does drugs or alcohol, even the pope, even Jesus himself.

> Everyone does drugs or alcohol, even the pope, even Jesus himself.

This phrase is only true because you include alcohol, otherwise it would be false. Not everybody does drugs.


And alcohol tends to be one of the top "people disabler" in the world

That will be wildly unpopular with both parties and most importantly their constituents. I doubt even the libertarian party should they get the president, house and senate could pull it off

Note that the Amendment would apply only to the government, not to private interests. Even so, i could be unpopular among advertisers and data resellers, e.g. Clearview, who sell to the government. I guess these are what qualify as constituents these days. The people themselves have long been forgotten as being constituents.

What do you mean "even" the libertarian party? Libertarians would remove whatever existing laws there are around facial recognition so that companies are free to do whatever they like with the data.

Nah it’s privacy. Gotta get consent from users. Cookies, GDPR, and all. Meta has learned from their fines, and isn’t opting users automatically into features.


Just use unsafe then you have all of the good points of rust, like being able to say you wrote it in rust with none of the downsides, like having to write safe code in rust, or that code being slow.


You can write slow unsafe Rust just fine.


But whatever you want Toyota has a 10k truck and a jimmy is 15k, if you need a car a vitz can be had for 12k


This comment shines a spotlight on my issues with the US auto market. None of these vehicles are sold in the US, for a variety of reasons - both economic and regulatory. I hate knowing that the vehicles I want to buy both exist and are affordable, but I just can’t have them. Meanwhile, the cars sold in my market are all egregiously enormous, have giant screens inside, etc.

This is the very definition of a “first world problem,” but it sure is frustrating.


One of the many reasons I choose not to live in “the west”.
