I think it was amplified in 2020. I hear many cite 2015 as the year things got woke. Terms like "preferred pronoun" started entering the mainstream around 2015, one year after GamerGate (not that that was the cause).

OpenAI has no problem showing accurate pictures. You know it's Google-induced bias, but feign ignorance. If you ask for a picture of nazi soldiers it shouldn't have 60% Asian people like you say. You know you're wrong but ins

> It was reasonable not to see Russia as enemy. That's naive. Russia allowed Germany to unify, but not Romania. It was very clear to eastern Europeans that they needed to join NATO before Russia can attack them again. Ever since the

The Ukraine war started in 2014 when the Ukrainians wanted closer ties with the EU. It didn't start because of NATO. Stop trying to rewrite history.

You hit the nail on the head. They're highlighting his flaws to make it so his "passing" wasn't really that bad. It's why he's being compared to Putin. It's a typical Russian tactic: you can't make Pu

He was a realist and tailored his positions to appeal to the Russian mentality in the hopes of changing it from within. If he really wanted "personal gains" he wouldn't have gone back to Russia.

> Weird how only disputing the Hamas numbers as biased is a talking point. Why are you surprised that people trust Israel more than Hamas? Israel is a country that's ranked 29 of 167 on the Democracy Index[1], right _above_ the US.

I really don't understand this mentality of people who are happy to live in a free society but want North Korea on their phones. I wouldn't mind it if it was a fringe OS, but it's half the phone market.

I agree with the rant, but not the examples. It pisses me off when programmers add "features" which forces users to deal with them. For example, pipenv always prints a message when you activate an environment (I don't know if

This is similar to linguistics. People often rank languages in terms of difficulty, but in reality complexity is just moved around. For example in English words are often uninflected. Languages like Hungarian/Turkish have a lot of pref
