Fwiw, the examples don't do a great job of that, imo. One of those descriptions is factually true, whereas the other contains mostly juicy propaganda talking points. (And, as I pointed out, some real ones!) But, to put a fine point o

Sorry, let me spell it out for you; I refer to this incident colloquially as "The time trump told us to inject bleach", which would be more accurately described as "The time the president of america was so balls-on stupid tha

It would be a lot easier if they weren't so god-dammned stupid and plausibly evil. I do not feel the need to compromise with "White Power" or "We need to find a way to safely inject bleach".

Can't agree harder. The idea that it is un-masculine to have friends is such a mental virus. A lot of people are going to miss everything cool and die angry.

> And the WaPo management fears Bezos Both can be true. I also consider it a failure of regulation and humanity that a billionaire can just own a newspaper and nix stories for clout.

Not the poster, but I don't think a newspaper pulling an endorsement out of fear of reprisal is a great sign of a free press (or, to the poster's point, a press you care to pay for.)

> Their cause is to universally redefine "woman" to include men who desire to be women, and "man" to include women who want to be men. This is a reductive view that presupposes gender as a pre-existing discernable sta

I disagree, and I find an even more vocal, even smaller group seems very invested in making sure people know who exactly we need to throw to the fascists to make them finally stop being fascists.

I'm sorry you experienced that, and that kind of hate has not been my experience - though that kind of negativity in other online cultures certainly has been. Trans people behaving badly does not make me want them to cease existing, or

If support of trans folk is "Too far" for someone, they were already running towards fascism. There's nothing progressive about denying folks their gender identity, and to the extent that "Progressivism" is a force

But certainly not because they are a man, you understand? To claim that the "Class" in "Second Class Citizen" is "Men" - that the set of "Classes that do not contain men" constitute a "First Cl

Yes, there are many problems that are unique to men that society does not address. I would not say that is because men are not adequately represented in the halls of power, or because society does not adequately cater to men's needs. &

No, only the men using them as props to prove men are "second class citizens".

Sure, and to call men second class citizens under any definition is absurd.

This is why I frame it as a "snippets" plugin, rather than a Code generation tool. I would be very confused if someone told me that they uncritically used the generated code from a snippet program with no manual input or understan

In my day to day, this still remains the main way I interact with AI coding tools. I regularly describe it as "The best snippet tool I've ever used (because it plays horseshoes)".

To be fair, a (stable, used by many for many years) mile-long pedestrian bridge constructed out of popsicle sticks and chewing gum would be a fairly impressive feat.

While I agree that the giant metal spikes we put on all the cars aren't the exclusive reason that cars are lethal, I would hope we both agree that cars are less lethal when we don't cover them in giant metal spikes.

Wholeheartedly agreed! Please don't mistake my post as an endorsement of the tobacco industry - I was only saying that while we do not have extensive proof of the dangers of social AI, wink-and-nodding at the audience about AI intimacy

Sure, but that is denying the reality of the moment / endorsing the fantasies of the past. I fail to see how pointing out the actual reality of hiring statistics correlates at all the fascist conspiracy theory. This is not "hating

To be clear, "Drug Distribution Website" is a common resources list for sourcing HRT when you do not have supporting medical access to it. This is a far reach from "Distributing Drugs".

That would be good. You know how we get to that universe? Having more queer people around. You know how we do that?
