This really brings up how fucking mind bogglingly short our attention span and memory seems to be. Donald trump murdered my grandfather, he murdered some of my favorite musicians and artists, he murdered one in 300 Americans, and most of us just fucking moved on and forgot I guess

    For the fact checkers https://www.bbc.com/news/61333847

    According to the WHO, in 2020 and 2021 the US recorded more than 930,000 excess deaths, behind India (4.7m), Russia (1.1m) and Indonesia (1m).

    Since the meme mentions rate, rather than total deaths, this graphic from that article is probably more relevant

    Do those three countries count as developed? The author could be relying on that qualifier. As a U.S. citizen, I would rather be compared to places like France, Germany, Japan, etc. than them (no offense ment, but we're talking about aspirations).

    You could have made this meme better by abstaining from AI art.

    I think this is a bit different. We aren't making ridiculous claims. It's just a normal meme made with a different tool.

    I agree that this kind of lazy meme content is what image generators should be used for. However, the issue is not the tool, but the materials that it's made from. By using these generators created from morally and ethically dubious source material, we help corporations profit off of work that isn't theirs.

    You mean they didn't pay Getty for their entire library?

    I agree the corporations aren't ethical. But neither are the corporations they scraped it from.

  • They aren't just scraping Getty. They're scraping your local wedding photographer's website, your social media accounts, and the work of every small artist on the web.

    If it was just big corps that they were scraping from, yeah, fuck 'em. But it's the little guys who run their own business and are losing out that I care about. Hell, they probably pay Getty to use their content because Getty has the money to sue if they don't. Just like they pay Reddit for the content the users make rather than just scraping it.

    When it spits out copyrighted characters that they obviously didn't pay licensing to use, it's hilarious. It's a lot less so when it spits out the work of award-winning photographers and artists.

    You mean he got vaccinated (which he did)? That's good, not pointless.

    Lol if tv repeats something enough times it must be true eh? It is pointless, see me; never sick never got shots. They have people conditioned with fear only so money goes into their pockets.

    That's som conspiracy crap mixed up with both survival bias and a sole data point.

    The scientific world overwhelmingly says that the COVID vaccine saved tons of people(more than houndred of thousands).

    Vaccines exist since centuries and they work. Also your drump did get all the vaccines lol.

    You should think this over IMO, if you're not a doctor in immunology and all alone in your ideas, you're just wrong.

    Its your dumbfuck Trump since birds of a feather flock together. Not a conspiracy if you follow the money, pretty easy to see conflict of interest since doctors are paid by huge drug companies and would lose their license if they don't tow the line. Relying on injecting yourself to make you healthy is dumbest things popular culture can come up with. Your body has millions of years of evolution and works better without being tricked with synthetic chemicals.

    'Trump is worse!'
