On the bright side, this word vomit will by itself probably set AI language models back a year.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
This guy is a band naming genius
Well it's pretty clear to me he's going for an allegory here, where cuban missiles become tweets and, for some reason, the sky becomes woke.
millennials haven't lived a single day without nuclear threats, the fuck is he moping on about?
Let me help the dictionary out. It means old man yells at the cloud.
Every day is a day lived nuclear threat as long as pricks like this exist.
It's weird how the people that have always been against drugs are the people on drugs.
It's not that weird, we call it projection.
I'm a leftist GenX whose served aboard 3 nuclear submarines, over a 20 year career. Ive slept between ballistic nuclear missiles, on top of torpedoes, mines, and tomahawk missiles early in my career, but later, switched to a standard bed (rack) on the boats..can I reflect and make a fuss?
as long as it's non-binary
No. You can be thanked for your service but you cannot protest when your benefits are reduced.
Darth Vader, "I'm altering the deal. Pray that I don't alter it any further."
You nailed it
But... Russia makes nuclear threats every other week!
You just know he thought this sounded so fucking cool in his heads before he typed it out.
They're putting woke in the sky and turnin' the birds gay!
EH TERR DUM ERRDS GEH!
I refuse to look it up and will just continue to tell myself that this is not a real person. It can't be.
The duality of republicans. Be scared of Russia nuking us over Ukraine to lick their boot, but also belittle gen z for not living through the cold war, while also starting a cold war with China.
what war with China? last I checked they never threatened China. on the other hand China is always boasting about invading Taiwan and Hong Kong
Welcome back from the coma. The current year is 2025. You will have to look up the word “tariff” because it’s no longer some stupid old timey tax.
what do tariffs have to do with the cold war? the marking experience of the cold war was proxy war with actual troops. there is nobody invading China or sponsoring rebels
Ah, I forgot you were in a coma. I also need you to read about 10 years of history about military escalation in the South China Sea. Also the Himalayas.
You [adjective] [plural noun] who never lived one day under [adjective] threat can now [verb] upon your [adjective] [noun].
You made quite the [adjective] fuss to save the world from [adjective] [adjective] [noun].
There, now we can all play Mad Libs!
New CAH pack just dropped
Mad-Cons
I hate how well this works
Who needs ChatGPT to make slop when we've got right wing clowns?
Now just put them into prison, so you can have them as ~~slaves~~ "workers", make them sit 12h in front of the computer and generate garbage for fr-... Shit, this reminds me of something.
first part is /s
ChatGOP is coming to take your job, senator
I'm just waiting for them to start calling oxygen and water woke so they either stop breathing or shrivel up like a sun dried dog turd.
mfw
Can we get him on technicalities? 'Cos millenials start in '81 and there was very much nuclear threatening
Nuclear threats never went away. There's a proxy war between nuclear powers happening right now. India and Pakistan just had a spat. Seems like some American elites want to fight China.
Sometimes I wonder if nuclear winter will cancel out climate change.
Yeah but in 1984 we really worried that we might not make it through the week.
Weird Al released Christmas at ground zero in '86
Now we don't really believe Russia's missiles will even work
And back then there was no credible defence
-
those missiles will work. They have been modernizing.
-
There still is no credible defense to a full on attack by Russia. Trump's golden dome is as real as Reagan's star wars.
Actually modernizing? Or modernizing in the way that the T-14 and SU-57 technically exist?
Remember that the united states and russia were routinely inspecting the nuclear arsenals of each other. They may have been hiding how bad things were, but we can be certain they do have functioning nuclear weapons at a scale large enough to matter.
The US believed Kiev would fall in weeks, tops. I'm not putting much faith in their assessment of Russia's arsenal. If anything, it's in the best interest of the US MIC to lie about it and spend to fill imaginary capabilities gaps as we so often have.
I'm sorry, did I miss a mass disarmament event? It may not be as novel as it used to be, but the dull threat of nuclear war has been a constant backdrop in our lives.
like a lot of us of a certain age lived through fucken CHERNOBYL.
Weird how those who try to use the word “woke” as a pejorative usually reveal themselves to be infected with the broke mind virus.
Also who the hell is he referring to? Pakistan has had nukes since like ‘98
