I don't think it's necessarily about consciousness per se, but rather about emotions or "irrationality". Life has no purpose so clearly there is no rational reason to continue living/existing. A super-rational

There is no qualitative difference between claiming "coin is going to the moon" and "coin is pegged" (a.k.a. "coin is going to $1"). Trusting such claims without proof is stupid/financial illiteracy/Y

If "magic" means changing reality with your mind, then programming is the closest thing to magic (that we know of).

Not all the data. Women attempt more suicides, but men commit more suicides. Some people say that this trend looks to be reversing in teens (girls committing more suicides) but not sure that’s already clear in the data.

ah, yeah, of course, "toxic femininity" is defined in such a way that men are still evil > such beliefs and expectations "[suggest] there is no a priori female self" apart from the needs and desires of men and boys

Can you list example of "toxic femininity"? If not, you're just sexist, full-stop. (c.f. "toxic blackness" or "toxic Jewishness")

“Financial abortion” is a sensible solution. Edit: but in general I care more about equality than about a particular solution. Either both men and women have a choice after sex, or neither. The current sexist solution is the worst.

> how do you not see that as a choice? Common bait&switch argument. It’s not a choice as far as women are concerned (so women deserve another choice in the form of abortion) but it’s a choice for men? You can’t have it both ways and

In the “relationship marketplace”, it’s women who decide whether to have children or not, and with whom (men don’t need to consent). But men are perceived to generally be the gatekeepers of marriage (not legally/biologically, but maybe

Not just “moral message”, also law in most of the West. After ejaculation, men have no more legal right about what happens with their sperm and resulting fetuses/children.

Nothing says "pacifism" quite like having the biggest guns (or, well, muscles in case of high-school bullying) and seldom (ideally never) using them.

Can you link to some resources/papers detailing how to solve this problem? I’m only aware of “RC+GC” solution (i.e. adding a full tracing GC in addition to RC to find and collect cycles).

This has nothing to do with “white” and everything to do with regressive left. Here is Kamala Harris, an Indian-Black American, pushing “Latinx”: https://mobile.twitter.com/kamalaharris/status/1290733001320...

All of these examples result in someone not having something any more (being the star of a show, trade secret, confidential data, fiance, winning of the game). Piracy is not stealing.
