How many trans people do you know? Has a trans person gotten mad at you for something?
Charitably, it seems like people who have never met trans people seem to think they’re balls of tinder, waiting to explode at any imagined slight. There is a lot of misinformation and propaganda out there and trans people are a punching bag.
Yes, words change a lot, and maybe someone might ask you to use a different word. That’s not an attack on you.
Yeah, you might meet someone on a bad day or there could be a misunderstanding, but, in general, treating people with kindness and respect works out pretty well.
Maybe “engaging with someone’s physical presentation” was just always a bad idea and you’ve just recently realized that.
Treating people with kindness and respect mostly works out fine.
AI -> Actually Indians
I said “cut a forum by 90%”, not “a forum happens to be smaller than another”. Ask ChatGPT if you have trouble with words.
If you cut a forum’s population by 90% it will die.
This is one of the biggest problems with AI. If it becomes the easiest way to get good answers for most things, it will starve the channels that can answer the things it can’t (including everything new).
Can’t be arsed.
I’m not sure how to, and it’s not something I care about enough to figure out how. I generally think of posting here as more shouting into the void, so I don’t care very much to personalize my account.
I use Sync. I may be missing out on the perfectly simple UI that was developed to do this.
I’m trying to figure out why someone would care. The mall is mostly closed. Yeah, the dealership must have paid the lot owner, so I don’t see the problem.
It’d be great if the ugly things didn’t exist, but since they do, they have to go somewhere.
If your taste buds are working, it’d be pretty difficult to eat enough rancid oil to kill yourself.
I really would like a plug coozy though. Maybe with a silicone lining?
This doesn’t make sense when it’s Americans using China’s pollution to justify not scaling back our pollution.
It’s pretty accurate to say the wealthy like fascism if you look at how the wealthy keep trying to implement fascism. The Business Plot was an attempted fascist takeover of the United States, and the Trump regime was a successful fascist takeover of the United States. Both were bankrolled by the wealthy.
I’m not interested in defining the word fascist. The word has a definition and if some people use it incorrectly, that is not my concern.
I think when you talk about the “economy” you’re not taking into account income inequality. Economic crashes are great for the capitalist class. They get to buy everything at fire sale prices, and pay their workers pennies. Even if they have slightly less “wealth” than they might, they have enormously more power (which locks in more wealth during the “recovery”).
We have never ever ever dealt with white supremacy.
We have made some cursory nods towards helping minorities survive in a white supremacist state, but there has not even been a concerted effort to try to end white supremacy.
This is a technology forum. If the article is relevant here at all, it’s because of Microsoft. A better argument could probably be made that the article shouldn’t be here.
Can you define “compressors” here? (Google was unhelpful.)
If your opponent is cancer and 90 million people shrug and go about their day, you have to wonder what you’re doing wrong. And not trying to fix it is downright criminal.
AI in the hands of moron CEOs is bad. (And they’re all morons)
LLMs can be useful in extremely limited circumstances. The problem is that idiots like this are going to use them to replace employees and consumers will receive worse products and services because of it.
The idea of Air Force One being a gift from a foreign government, let alone Qatar, sounds like a horror story spies tell each other around the campfire.
You would have been terrified? If you’re that scared of brown people, that’s your own issue.
