I'm a soulist. Soulists are always saying things like that. It's the best version of leftism.

Yeah, we don't have laundromats in my country except for student housing and similar facilities. Laundry machines are ubiquitous in houses and apartments, even the small crappy ones.

Proud luddite here. The original luddites destroyed machinery owned by capitalists which threatened their jobs. The choice was either destroy the machines, or stand by and become unable to feed your family while a rich man gets richer.

I have no opposition to technology which is used for good, and whose control is placed in the hands of the workers. Your self-hosted AIs are fine, although I do ask that you only use energy intensive processes if you have solar panels. After all, this planet is the only one we've got. At our current rate of pollution, soon the world will only be inhabitable to AI.

But I downvote anything promoting corporate AI designed to replace people's jobs. I am all for replacing human jobs, if the humans get to relax and live comfortable lives afterward. But I am against replacing jobs if we choose to have a society where you need a job to live. That's not nature, it's a choice we make as a society. The minute you automate someone's job, you do necessarily admit that society doesn't need that person's work to get by. The only reason they shouldn't get to put their feet up and take it easy is political. And politically, we have decided instead what happens is they die. That's unacceptable, and until it changes, we can't afford to have job replacing machines.

No, Israel and Hamas are on the same side. Israeli politicians helped Hamas politicians get into power in Gaza during the last election. Netanyahu knows for a fact that oppression creates resistance, this was inevitable from his government's actions. Israel chose to oppress Palestinians knowing it would lead to resistance, because Hamas is a convenient excuse for ethnic cleansing.

Hamas has called multiple times for a hostage exchange. Israel has refused. Why doesn't Israel want its hostages back? Why is it choosing violence when there's a peaceful solution right there on the table waiting for them to take it? Israel is risking the lives of its own hostages by bombing Gaza where they're located. Why don't they want the hostages to survive?

Some popular streamer called Destiny apparently denied the genocide in a debate.

There's not 0 indication of tone through text. I'm autistic and even I know that. Watch this:

Hey, mate! Good to see ya. How's the missus doing?

Would you define a long distance relationship that's lasted for multiple years with daily video chats as online dating?

So you're saying you can't write readable code while drunk

I know someone who, when it's having a panic attack and is asked a question, it asks the person asking what the correct answer is. Even if they have no way of knowing.
