  • Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation

  • Brit, but I live in a sea of Americanisms anyway.

    I may be wrong, but I'm not sure I did miss your meaning, I think I just disagreed with your reasoning that em-dashes betray LLM authorship. They simply don't.

    I think someone was (for fun) deliberately trying to make people think they were using an LLM (quite possibly by actually using one). They wound you up, and the punctuation was your trigger.

    I disagree with some of your new reasoning too - I absolutely do use Word to transfer my logical thinking and interpretation, and frequently draft Teams messages in Word because it has better access to symbols and diagrams (which I use in my work). I admit I don't use it on Lemmy, though, so in that you're correct. I do often deliberately correct - to — in many situations, but you're right that forum posts aren't the place for that.

    (I'm not using an LLM. I think LLMs are literally stupid and frequently wrong. Em-dashes are one of the few things they often get right.)

  • If the numbers were correct and your aim was to reduce pregnancies, you could prevent 90% of pregnancies by getting roughly 90% of sexually active women to take the pill. Getting 99.95% of sexually active men to take the pill would have NO effect whatsoever on the pregnancy rate, because the remaining 1 in 2000 men would continue to meet and impregnate a woman roughly once every hour for roughly 12 hours a day (with breaks for food and resting his dick a tiny bit) for 9 months straight, with time to visit 430 women a second time in case these miracle impregnators somehow didn't always impregnate on first meeting a woman. (This would very drastically reduce diversity in the gene pool and the world would be very very very badly interbred within two generations.)

    But of course humans don't behave like the numbers suggest AT ALL, thank goodness.

  • ICE sent into frenzy to return longtime Trump golf employee mistakenly deported to Mexico

    Jump

  • Mistakenly? Crossed the border illegally 20 years ago? Deported without the hearing he was legally entitled to?

    Why is anyone surprised by this, and why is the article written as if this is the second time this has happened? This is what ICE does, all day. This is what it's for now. Due process isn't a thing, quite deliberately. Facts and legality aren't part of it.

  • I'm sure the liberals have a great explanation

    Jump

  • I don't know, but I'm certainly not sure that the Italian liberal-national party was liberal any more than the German national socialist party was socialist.

  • Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts?

    Jump

  • Definitely, but then thirty years later, I look just like my uncles, and my daughters are starting to look more and more like their auntie and I stopped worrying about it all.

  • You refuse to acknowledge that trump is the instigator of a whole bunch of racist shit.

    No, I refuse to acknowledge your cause-effect. You say that people is racist because Trump won

    Absolutely not. I claim that trump is the instigator of a whole bunch of racist shit, not that he causes racism. This was the worst straw man argument ever.

    assume you are right and DEI is the right thing, so why only in cushy c-level jobs ?

    More stuff I never said, more assuming that I run the American Democratic Party (despite never having set foot in the USA).

    but not agree on how it is executed and I don’t think to be a racist for this

    Lol you got triggered and ranted all day because someone disagreed with Trump's interpretation of discrimination. You agree with trump but you don't want to say so because you don't like admitting that you have a lot in common with the stupid racist in chief.

  • Trump was elected because a very significant minority of Americans are racist, and the Republican party have been eroding democracy for decades.

    You refuse to acknowledge that trump is the instigator of a whole bunch of racist shit.

    People like you voted for him then blamed people like me for their reactionary shit.

    The problem is that people like me are the ones that see what happen, do not say anything but in the end vote based on what they see and what candidates say.

    No, the problem is that people like you criticise diversity, equality and inclusion and like to pretend that it's discriminatory when it's working against racial inequality and racial discrimination.

    ...do not say anything...

    Lol. You wrote paragraphs on why you think DEI is bad and then you blamed DEI policies for the election of trump! You're part of the mindless "blame Democrats for everything whether they oppose it or not" crowd and you are incapable of shutting up about how you think DEI and Democrats are wrong.

    but in the end vote based on what they see and what candidates say

    Anyone who takes trump or his international chums at their word is an idiot.

    If you wanted to win, you should have

    "you"?!

    For someone who claims to be European, you're pretty bad at realising that there are people who don't live in America (including me, in case that persisted in escaping your attention), and you're pretty bad at realising that it's possible to be against racism whilst not being part of the leadership of the Democratic Party of the United States of America.

    Not everyone who is anti-racist is in the DNC, and not everyone in the DNC is anti-racist.

    I would have thought that was obvious, but then there is a correlation between racism and lower educational attainment.

  • Supporting the racist in chief for equality’s sake is insane.

    I don’t care about Trump, it is not my problem, in EU Trump policies are irrelevant.

    And yet here you are, arguing in support of his policies.

    But Trump is a consequence, not a cause.

    You have that really fucked up for two reasons.

    1. Trump is instigating all kinds of racist shit policies
    2. Racism is NOT caused by inclusive words or actions, it's a reaction against them by people who were racist from the start.

    You people voted for him.

    No one like me voted for Trump. People like you voted for him then blamed people like me for their reactionary shit.

  • Alberta to invoke notwithstanding clause to send striking teachers back to work

  • Yes. Alberta's unions should realise that this is the END of the union movement if they allow it to stand.

  • I don't know how you didn't spot that Trump is a massive racist and just wants to make life shit for people who aren't white and that's all he cares about. When Trump says DEI, he means black people or hispanic people or anyone who isn't white having a job at all. He calls it equality but he means it racist. I don't know how that can have passed you by. Supporting the racist in chief for equality's sake is insane.
