‘Car’ should have been painted over with white instead of black. The other text already has a white outline. This is hard to read.

I feel like people have known this since like the 1800s. But dividing people over race and gender doesn’t threaten the rich in the way wealth distribution does, so huge amounts of money and influence are poured into preventing society from advancing by exacerbating poverty and race/gender conflicts.

The prisoners Bush had sent to Egypt were not sent from the US, they were sent from different countries that allowed extradition to Egypt. It was disgusting and abhorrent, but it isn’t the same thing as what we’re seeing now.

Flying people from the US to foreign prisons without due process is a blatant violation of the constitution.

The attack point has to be something that both sides of the political spectrum finds repulsive. If only right wingers have a problem it makes the lefties look like hypocrites, and if it’s something only people on the left care about it’s ineffective.

Eyeliner and weak chins/beards aren’t things people on the left tend to take issue with, while white nationalism and misogyny aren’t things people on the right take issue with.

The military thing could work, but it’s not punchy enough, it’s too specific and not very funny. The couch fucker jokes are easy laughs.

I think part of it is about making him into a joke to prevent him from gaining the cult following necessary to be another trump. I don’t think trump supporters would care about the valid criticisms, but the idea he has sex with couches is provocative and humorous, and seems to have become one of the only things a lot of people know about him.

I’m calling the misinformation you’re spreading a fart, because it’s noxious noise. It’s a metaphor for spreading lies without consideration of the truth. Scotland’s gender recognition certificates aren’t an opinion, it’s a government policy. Your aren’t offering a diverse perspective, you’re simply incorrect, proudly trumpeting your inaccuracies to get attention.

You’re ripping a fart in the public square and calling it discourse. You’re a fool.

Since studying machine learning I’ve become a lot less opposed to AI as a concept and specifically opposed to corporate/cloud LLMs.

Like a simple on-device model that helps turn speech to text isn’t something to be opposed, it’s great for privacy and accessibility. Same for the models used by hospitals for assistive analysis of medical imaging, or to remove background noise from voice calls.

People don’t seem to think of that as ‘AI’ anymore though, it’s like these big corporations have colonized the term for their buggy wasteful products. Maybe we need new terminology.

That doesn’t answer the question.

Introducing lies to a discussion doesn’t make for a more well rounded conversation, it just creates noise. You’re just blaring the reverberations of your personal echo chamber into the public forum and pretending like it’s a novel perspective nobody has considered.

You’re like: “Everyone here is talking about orbital mechanics, but have you considered the earth is flat?” It’s not insightful or interesting, that it’s just nonsense. Diverse perspectives are only valuable if they have a basis in reality.

Personally I think you’re doing it to get a rise out of people, I think the disagreement is fun, it’s like a game you can play to make the situation feel less serious. Just a bit of trolling.

Why do you believe such obvious bullshit? Why spread it on the Internet?

In Scotland you’re required to live in your aquired gender for two years with the intent to do so permanently, you also need a diagnosis from a gender specialist as well as your GP.

There isn’t really a discussion to be had here, you said something untrue and now you’re being corrected.

If you want to have a discussion, why don’t we talk about where you’re getting these ideas from and why you believe them. What makes you think police officers are changing their gender on a day by day basis?

I use my GPU mostly for gaming and computer science. I will say that ROCm from AMD is seriously giving Cuda a run for its money, and it’s fully open source. AMD cards also tend to be better per dollar.

Same, I’ve been using Debian only for the last 15 or so years. I love the stability, and the old software isn’t hard to work around when newer versions are needed.

I hate the lack of support from Nvidia. I prefer AMD cards though, and they give zero trouble.

The glass is also weirdly large considering it looks like it should be at roughly the same distance as the people.

Well it relied on trump being in power to take effect. Having a useful idiot in the executive opens a lot of doors. I don’t see how the Republicans could seize power without him, Vance wasn’t ever going to win on his own.

Yes and yes. It’s pretty good imo, my favorite milkshake flavor. They were super popular in the 1920s.

You could put your feet in your kneepits, but I’m not sure how warm they are.

The guy got a milkshake for his wife and she was grateful, then they both got sarcastic because that’s how they do.

If it would keep trump out of office for another four years it would make the odds of him ever regaining power vanishingly small; he’d be in his mid eighties in the next election, and all the lawsuits against him wouldn’t have been thrown out.

Say what you will about Biden, but he was pretty effective at pausing the slide into fascism. He strengthened ties with our allies and invested in infrastructure. If Harris had won we could have taken back the Supreme Court and actually started reversing course.
