Meta AI will often transcribe messages and give a brief summary on what was said, as though this is somehow more helpful than just reading the messages. It often gets things wrong and in hilarious fashion.
I’m not going to explain the context on how Meta AI came to this conclusion. I would be most interested in hearing what you think may have been said for this to happen.
Hey everyone. For those who have been keeping up with my channel, you know that I've been having a hard time over the last...well, almost year now. And to be honest, things haven't gotten too much better.
I made a post awhile ago talking about the Trump administration's efforts to keep people from receiving SNAP benefits during the government shutdown. Well, one other thing that the GOP has done is amend the eligibility rules to where I, and many others, can no longer qualify after getting them three months in a three year period.
So for the last few months, I've been at the whim of people giving me food when they can, and it's mostly been rice and rotisserie chickens from Sam's Club that I have to stretch out as far as I can.
To add insult to injury, I had hoped that my tax refund would get me by a little longer in order to get my life back in order. However, the IRS has absolutely become useless and cannot even figure out who I am without sending letters in the mail to verify a code on their website, to which I never actually receive the letters. I never had this problem before, and I once again suspect it's due to actions taken from the Trump administration, axing a number of jobs from many different government agencies, the IRS included.
I come here hat in hand hoping that some of the people who have been loyal to my channel will read this and have a few extra bucks they can send me so I can get some food. Literally anything would be helpful, even if only $5. I truly hate posting this out there for the world to see, because it's embarrassing that all of you know that I'm doing this poorly. But I would appreciate anything you could do. If you have anything you can send, my CashApp handle is JohnnyBawlz.
Either way, thank you for your time in reading this.
Recently I resumed streaming on Twitch after a months long hiatus, but after a month, I have not averaged more than a viewer and a half at a time according to my analytics, which is actually worse than when I first started streaming six years ago.
I made a decision that if things didn't pick up by the end of the month, I would stop for good. But I want to at least know that I did everything I could to keep it going. So I'm making a quick post on here to ask that if any of my loyal viewers are active on Twitch, maybe consider checking me out on there. I used to be primarily a Fall Guys streamer, but since that game is dying by the day, I'm switching it up a bit.
It's no secret to the frequent viewers of my channel that I detest Twitch. Unfortunately, because there aren't any other viable streaming services out there, I still go to the site for amusement. I would argue that a majority of the users of the platform, streamers and viewers, are complete snowflakes. But evidently the platform, itself, seems to have its own set of issues.
First, I was suspended for what they referred to as "Hateful Conduct". What did I do? I made fun of xenophobes in Estonia. Yeah, kind of a niche topic, but anyone with a brain would have figured this out upon reading the chat. Unfortunately for me, Twitch picked this up and suspended me for seven days, probably because of some AI bot not getting the nuance.
I appealed, and almost immediately my suspension was lifted. But later in the afternoon, I was suspended, again. This time, they claimed it was for "Repeatedly Harassing Others". What did I do? Went into various streams I follow and pasted "ⓘ This message cannot be viewed in your region." in their chat. This was, mostly, received positively and many people laughed and even copy/pasted it in chat.
However, one stream chat, Limmy, didn't like this and timed me out. Very shortly after this was when I received the second suspension. I have appealed, but who knows how that will go given this is the SECOND SUSPENSION OF MY ACCOUNT IN AN AFTERNOON.
It would be great if sites like YouTube or Kick had a comparable service to Twitch, because I would never go back to that site again. But alas, it stands alone as the sole livestreaming site that is remotely worth using. Kick is getting better, but they still have a ways to go. YouTube, nowhere close.
Don't think this just happens to me. Today, another streamer I watch, @NoahUN , was also suspended. Two other streamers I had talked to today had also said that they plan to leave Twitch at some point when there is a more viable option. Almost everyone seems to agree that Twitch is dying.
Someone, anyone: make a better site than Twitch. I beg you.
I just want to take a moment to update you on one of the effects the government shutdown will have to you or your loved ones who depend on SNAP benefits to purchase food.
The Trump administration announced that the USDA cannot use contingency funds to supplement the SNAP program for the month of November. In addition to the new work requirements passed by the Republican Congress, even when SNAP funding is restored when the government is once again funded, families will have a harder time being able to qualify for a program that has helped hundreds of millions of people since its inception.
Many people, including myself, have been on SNAP at some point in their lives. Tens of millions of people are currently enrolled in the program. For many, SNAP is the only way they can make it through each month with food to eat. I, myself, am currently a recipient of SNAP benefits due to the unfortunate events I had chronicled on my channel previously. As such, come November, I will not have any way to obtain food. I can only imagine how many others will be affected similarly without the aid of this program.
But at the same time as the USDA announces they will not fund SNAP benefits next month through their contingency fund, the White House is getting a $300 million ballroom. At the same time the Trump administration illegally moves $8 billion to fund military pay, the same administration says using contingency fund monies for the USDA to fund SNAP would be illegal.
And what is the issue at hand keeping the government shutdown? Whether to keep your health insurance premiums low with government subsidies. For those who are enrolling for policies that take effect next year, there's already an abundance of sticker shock and many are failing to sign up as a result.
Not only do we go hungry, but we'd better not get sick in the process. That's what your Republican legislators are basically telling the American populace.
I realize that society as a whole has the attention span and memory of a goldfish, and we'll forget how horrible things can get in a relatively short period of time. How else did the person who botched everything around the COVID-19 pandemic get elected four years removed? But for those of you who continue to vote against your own interests and elect the Republicans who are now starving out a good chunk of the country, I want you to keep this in mind the next election we have. And the one after that. And the one after that. Because no matter how much the rich morons want you to forget that we have the power to remove their influence from our government, they cannot take our collective voice. It may not seem like one vote will make much of a difference, but like a snowball rolling down a mountainside, eventually comes an avalanche that will wipe out government cronyism and inaction. Do not forget how you feel right now, scared about your future, when the Republicans who did nothing but give tax cuts to the rich while cutting off your access to food ask for your support.
Hey, folks. I just uploaded a video explaining the circumstances about how I became homeless. In a nutshell, I was basically scammed by a perpetual grifter and lost everything because I tried to help out a homeless transwoman.
If you want the full story, you can check out the video. But I wanted to post a few pics of the person who scammed me, in case she tries something to you one day. Do not fall for her crocodile tears: that’s all they are. She does not care about you in any way, and I’m living proof of what she will do to you.

Folks, I made the switch to Kick (couldn't actually find out what happens when you reapply for affiliate on Twitch, sorry!).
And to celebrate, I'm hosting a Christmas Fall Guys tournament!
Let me explain how this would work:
First, you must be following me on Kick and be in my Discord or in the chat at the time of the competition.
Second, we will run Knockout snipes with everyone in one go (there won't be more than 32 people, and at this moment I'll be surprised if more than four join). Whoever wins this one game wins $50. No entry fee, no second chances.
That's it. One easy chance at glory and money. Message me if you're interested.
