‘Slop’ - Commonly used to describe AI and is a common criticism of things people deem lacking in quality in entertainment mediums.
‘Slams’ - Commonly used in headlines to describe how critical someone’s views are towards another.
On the Slop part – I wonder if the people that go around making inaccurate accusations about things being AI know how absolutely ridiculous it makes them sound. It’s at the point where it’s so absurd that I have to wonder if it’s part of some kind of triple reverse sabotage effort to discredit the people who actually do take great offense to any kind of use of generative AI.
“Last Christmas I gave you my heart”
based on a true story of an accident victim who signed his organ donor card just before christmas.
It’s over
I’m with you on “slam” and any other pseudo-violent verb to make an otherwise milquetoast headline more attention-grabbing.
What really gets me is when it is applied to the mildest of vocal objections by some politician. Like, it’s not even clever wordplay, just dissent. None of this is worthy of the same vocabulary one would use to describe a WWE match, but here we are.
Sometimes, the news is kind of dull, and that’s okay.
diabolical
‘POV’ - then proceeds to present something that isn’t a first person perspective.
Oh, and “positive anymore”. That’s such a bastardization. It makes me cry.
I’m more annoyed by the posts and comments about being annoyed by words like “slammed.” Sure, you might have a large vocabulary and get bored by the same language used ad infinitum; but keep in mind that more than half of people are illiterate and those are the people the media tries hardest to talk to.
Problematic - it’s just so lazy. Makes me doubt whether the speaker has any coherent reason for why they don’t like the given thing. Might as well say ‘yucky’. It’s the kind of word one uses when assuming everyone already agrees with you, and if they don’t, well then they they’re probably problematic too. /rant
British newspaper articles that start with
“Backlash against” followed by something the government has suggested doing.
And when you read the article, they have a quote from a single person saying it’ll hurt their business or something.
God am I tired of seeing backlash in that exact context. “City decides to help local residents but backlash mounts”. Then exactly that, some old guy who hates change being upset
Woke, it’s an American bullshit word that means whatever the speaker criticizes. It’s a shame that it got exported to other parts of the world.
It started as “I understand and acknowledge that our society has systemic inequality and I would like to change that”. Perfectly reasonable way of stating it succinctly. As in, “I woke up” to this fact.
Right-wing lunatics stole the term and make it “anything I don’t like”.
‘Slop’ is fine, it’s short and to the point and describes something for which we don’t quite have another word yet (in the context of AI) and which definitely needs to enter the public consciousness.
Agree on ‘Slams’ though.
Anything suffixed by ‘bro’ to be disparaging.
Hell ya braj
brah
Bro, really, it’s my favorite word, bro.
Why you gotta do me like that, bro?
Bro, it ain’t cool, bro
I really hate the whole generational thing that’s going on… it started around 2020 and has been going strong eversince…
But I really hate that people deivide themselves and make fun of other generations… “That’s sooo Boomer”, “that’s so millenial”, “that’s so gen z” etc are complete bullshit. Not everyone in these generations had the same experience or has the similar traits. You are telling me one guy being born in 2012 and 2013 have a complete different childhood, or 1996 and 1997…
Also not every boomer is a person of power that uses ot to undermine the youth, not every millenial cries the next beat moment and not every genz has brain rot…
I can’t be the only one that feels like these narratives feel very fabricated and forced on to people, so we have another group we feel part of and other groups to be mad at. It feels like it was made to create division between people…
And it kinda makes sense that division is good for the ruling class. I mean it’s easier to rule a bunch of idiots wasting the energy getting mad at each other that over people using their energy queationing your rule…
Trump… as a non American, I would love to return to a world where don’t hear anything about their government…
From the US and I’m right there with you in spirit. So fucking sick of that pedo sucking the life out of our country, fucking over our old allies and being a shit talking unconscionable fuckwit. If his decisions didn’t directly affect my day to day existence I’d like nothing more than to take a year long media hiatus.
Articles containing “here’s what we know”, “what you need to know”, etc in the title or headline. These “writers” should be court ordered to never post anything on the internet again.
