This style of humor kinda feels like it's from 1998 Internet but I found that to be almost comforting

Turns out chatGPT doesn't know shit about MSE:

Jack:

Can you communicate in Maoist Standard English?

Robot:

Certainly! Maoist Standard English is a variety of English that adheres to the linguistic principles advocated by Mao Zedong, particularly during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. This style of English emphasizes simplicity, clarity, and revolutionary zeal. Here's a demonstration:

Original English: "The workers are demanding better working conditions and higher wages."

Maoist Standard English: "The toiling masses are clamoring for improved labor circumstances and enhanced remuneration."

If you have any specific requests or questions related to Maoist Standard English, feel free to ask!

Jack:

That's not correct. Can you give a more accurate explanation?

Robot:

Apologies for the misunderstanding. Maoist Standard English, also known as "Basic English" or "Mao Zedong's Little Red Book English," was a linguistic style advocated during Mao Zedong's rule in China. It aimed to simplify English language usage for broader accessibility among the masses, aligning with Maoist principles of promoting education and mobilizing the population for revolutionary purposes.

In Maoist Standard English, complex vocabulary and syntax are replaced with simpler, more accessible equivalents. It prioritizes clarity and directness, avoiding ambiguity or obscurity. The vocabulary tends to be limited, focusing on essential words and phrases necessary for effective communication.

For example, a sente [sic]

Maoist Standard English reflects the emphasis on mass mobilization and the dissemination of revolutionary ideology to the widest possible audience. If you have any further questions or if there's a specific aspect of Maoist Standard English you'd like to explore, feel free to ask!

It basically tried to do Simplified Chinese writing to English? Boring.

edit: why does it refuse to admit that Biden is Mao's biological child?

Interesting take here, arguing that usually, you actually depress tourism with these events. That makes these sound even worse than what I had thought before - worth it if you use existing facilities, not worth it if you build new ones.

What are they?

 

Just me? Eh?

 

Don't recognize any of the "best activist" nominees but it should be Mariah Crenshaw.

Best insta follow should be skrticx but not an option

Literally every "best neighborhood" option is on the west side because Scene is white as hell

Few other highlight votes because there's a million categories and I skipped most.

Antiques: All Things For You

Art Supply: Upcycle

Hobby and Games Store: Critical Hit

Dive Bar: Little Rose (awesome vegan food)

Then I mostly voted for vegan stuff and why the fuck is Townhall a candidate for best vegan restaurant? All the other candidates are fully vegan and extremely good but that place has meat all over the menu. Fuck the Georges.

 

Hopefully RTA will take heed of this and start to develop on their giant station-adjacent parking lots. It'll drive ridership, produce revenue, and provide lots of good housing.

 

it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency's environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department's renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California's car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.

McNamee outlines cutting key divisions at DOE, including the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations and the Loan Programs Office. He has called climate change a “progressive policy.”

But that increase in state power wouldn’t apply to California, which has a history of setting more aggressive environmental standards than those of the federal government under a Clean Air Act waiver. The Project 2025 plan would “ensure that other states can adopt California’s standards only for traditional/criteria pollutants, not greenhouse gasses.”

Cool!

 

I sell commercial solar arrays. I am proud as hell of making an actual, meaningful climate impact.

 

Any identifications on these puppies?

 
 

Turns out basically nobody is as conservative as their church.

 

Seriously, check this game out; it's extremely fun. Helldivers x Minecraft.
