  • Almost 100,000 young men flee Ukraine in two months

  • in this case spending 10x more than everyone else is resulting in a bigger and more advanced army

    This is the part I think you haven't shown, even a little bit. First you linked a wikipedia page which was a list of countries with the highest military expenditures, then you linked wikipedia pages for a bunch of american military hardware. At no point did you try to compare american military hardware with Russian military hardware, either in quantity or quality. The only comparison you've made is in terms of expense.

  • You want me to answer the question that is your last paragraph?

    I have no idea! I don't live in Russia, I'm not well-versed in modern warfare and military technology, I haven't studied diplomacy, I have no idea how Russia would respond if nato suddenly brings to bear every piece of military hardware it can muster.

    Literally all I'm saying is that more expensive doesn't always mean better quality. That's literally it

  • So all these Wikipedia articles are evidence for the claim "NATO would trounce Russia if they were actually trying"? And the evidence I'm supposed to be getting from these articles is "look at all these extremely expensive war planes, clearly they're better than their Russian counterparts, they're more expensive".

    Is that a fair characterization of your point?

  • I still don't understand what evidence you're finding on these Wikipedia pages. Like, ok, I read the Wikipedia page for the F-22. What am I supposed to get out of my reading? What should I have learned from that page?

    Can you please actually draw the connection you're making, explicitly? Because I legitimately do not understand what you're trying to say

  • Can you please explain how a list of countries with the highest military expenditures is evidence that weapons used by the US aren't bought/produced for a ridiculous markup?

    Like, the claim m352 is making is "the american military spends unreasonable amounts of money on weapons for no benefit, because of how much graft and how many middlepeople exist in the american weapon supply chain".

    And the evidence you use to counter this claim is "the US spends much, much more money on weapons than Russia". And like, yeah, no kidding the US spends much more on its military than Russia does, but I don't see how that has anything to do with m352's claim.

    So can you please draw the connection for me? How does your response here address the comment you're responding to?

  • This comment is body-shaming, isn't it? And also racism, ironic as it may be. I dunno, RNAi, I'd maybe delete this one if I were you

  • I know my comment here is 4 days late, but since you haven't had a single comment from a transmasc person (that I've seen), I figured maybe you'd like to hear from one of us.

    All of your feelings about being a guy (why would anyone want that? Do most men really not want to be women? Maybe if I just double down on acting like a man I'll feel like one), all of those feelings I've had in reverse. It never made sense to me that women were happy as women, I really thought they were lying about it. I thought if only I could "perform girl" better maybe I'd actually feel like one, surely the women who are super femme are doing it just to feel more like women, right? And if I could just do the same, maybe I'd have their poise and confidence in my feminity.

    Well, no. Of course not. I'm trans. I'm not a woman, and pretending to be one sucked so fucking bad. I crave a (slightly) more masculine presentation than I ever allowed myself when I thought I was a woman. And I feel so much more comfortable with myself now! I feel like I can actually be a human, actually be myself, now that I'm no longer working so very hard to pretend to be a woman.

    I can't tell you you're a woman, you have to decide that for yourself, but I can tell you that there are people who would never in a million years choose to be women. There are lots of humans on earth who would be (and, for some of us, have been) deeply, deeply unhappy living as women.

  • Eliezer Yudkowsky is the best thinker in a generation and everything he says in his new book is absolutely, 100% true, we should all be terrified of the superintelligence that LLMs are going to turn into at some point in the extremely near future.

    My mom told me yesterday that she's reading Yud's book and is scared by what it says.

  • That last sentence feels so slimy! It feels exactly like a chud making fun of a lib. "Oh, I guess you need a safe space because you've been triggered" type shit. Except I think he means it to read sincere. I don't think it is sincere, I think he's a chud pretending to be a lib, and not entirely managing to keep the chud sneering at bay
