  • Embarassing rule

    Jump

  • Baffling that so many people upvoted a comment that is, at best, a non-sequitur -- at worst, snarling at the author for using a platform while being wrong about the platform used -- simply because the comment is mad at the correct thing.

    Meanwhile, the comment correcting the misinformation and accurately labeling the source of the post is sitting at middling 12 to 6.

  • And "ko" is the first sound in "ko-re-an". But we just take the first letter.

    Just like "ja" is the first sound in "Japanese" but it's also "jpop".

  • But also back-heavy which counteracts that efficiency gain.

  • Yeah, the inclusion of gaming made me think the data was tainted.

  • Wokeness ended, check mate leftists

  • Unironically, that is as consistent with the GOP's usage of the word as anything else. Because the youths say "6 7" and they refuse to understand it.

  • "Woke" is when they're mad about how things are or are now not. "Woke" is anything and nothing, which makes it usable for everything.

  • I can't believe they let this happen. Wasn't this why we gave away all of these rights? To further disenfranchise minorities?!

  • I typically enjoy the subject matter rug pull at hour 4 of his video essays. But they only really start getting good at season 3 of the same video.

  • I was speaking aspirationally, as a member of the species. If we could just get our priorities right (as a species) maybe we could outsource pointless, painful, dangerous labor to robots. Instead of throwing foreign children at it by the handfuls because it's cheaper, where the lucky children get to survive the mine collapses that killed their sister and friends.

    This ire isn't pointed at you, as the person who prompted the response. It's just peeled the skin off an abiding and yet aimless bitterness. I can only really be angry at the worst of human behavior, and that's not something I can kneel beneath a guillotine.

  • I just saw something about a child traumatised while working in a mica mine.

    Meanwhile bipedal robots are doing spinning double backheel kicks on camera and taking scenic walking trips across the Chinese countryside.

    The priorities feel wrong.

  • 24 members of Congress are 80 or older. More than half are running for re-election.

  • These decrepit fucks think all "real" jobs are easy money, so of course they don't care about making retirement a feasible option. They just fall asleep in an air-conditioned hall, rarely stirring awake to thoughtlessly vote down opportunities for citizens -- young and old -- to have a manageable life.

    If you forced some of these antedeluvian ulcers in our government's guts to depend on the services they legislate on, then those services might actually become serviceable. Instead, they collect an easy paycheck until they die in-office. Using active office like it's a pension.

  • It's like some people forget they are also just people and all people do things. Not everything they do is related to autism.

  • Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention

  • Why would I assume this was the Onion? People have been confusing Native Americans for other nationalities for years, not to mention that ICE has been indiscriminately grabbing minorities for months.

  • The ol' switcheroo

  • From what I'm seeing, Christians ruler did control the peninsula but in the "loosely-aligned polity" sense that was the style of the time. Perhaps joined together by local Iberian culture under the Visigothic Kingdom, rather than Spanish "nationality". But I don't think that's subverting or undercutting any truth to a rulership that cranked the "default" back to "Christianity" by re-conquering the Iberian peninsula from Berber Muslim ownership, like an angry dad with the thermostat. I do see how fascist would love to use the term to further other-ize people but I don't like ceding anything to fascist especially not language.

    I'm also not a historian despite what my access to Wikipedia might fool me into believing. I guess if the shift is just dropping "Re" from the term, then that's reasonable. I just am sleep-deprived and leery of (not saying this is you) self-identified "scholars" who want to claim discourse space by misinterpreting the past under the guise of "recontextualization". To be clear, I'm specifically not saying that is what you are or was your intent, but that sort of miscourse is insidious. I'm being more literal because I'm tired and won't really double-check what I wrote to ensure my writing was well-crafted to properly impart "intention".

  • The ol' switcheroo

    Jump

  • Huh.

    This reads to me like a soft invitation to avoid using the term. But I'm not seeing why you'd need to revisit or challenge the word "Reconquista". Will it be updated to the "Bad Reconquista"? It was a conquest, which is not a generally nice word. If anything you'd want to challenge the feelings of the Reconquista as a positive event.

    Unfortunately, dragging the US into the conversation, it's as if USists were proud of the Indian Removal Act because it helped solidify the country's hold of lands east of the Mississippi River. Sure, it lead to the formation of the country as we know it but it wasn't a good event. Sure, the Reconquista was a historical event necessary to the formation of the nation we know as Spain but you shouldn't be really proud of what occurred.

  • This was either from April or early December. In either case, I've never heard this repeated anywhere else since.

    I do not believe their models are good enough to accurately and organically "prefer" one result over another. Not to say they won't try, just that it sounds futile. How do you even train a model to pick advertisers over non-advertisers? Feels like they're just going to start shipping prepackaged "assistants" with a big, stupid list of company sugar daddies to fluff up.

  • Thats not what they said.

    You're the one assuming things I never said. I asked how many they had at one time. Obviously, that entails ownership of cats distributed over time.
