  • I appreciate that you defended the nationalistic part, but I don't appreciate that you glossed over the patriarchal part, but I digress.

    Nationalism is just a crutch to bring support to the ruling class of any country. Saying that it is good if the ruling class is good or even just has good intentions is... Not good? I shouldn't have to explain how that kind of fervor can be coopted. Nationalism doesn't just disappear when it's no longer needed.

    But, personally, as a US citizen, I don't think anyone I know thinks of North Korea as a hellscape. Media rarely portrays them as one, although it comes up more in Korean media, which does have some proliferation here. In the news, it's just about the weapon capabilities, and the military parades, the former I don't really care about as much coming from a country with an arsenal capable of destroying the world many times over and occasionally little hesitancy to do so, and the latter I very much do. Same with Cuba. If anything, American media tries to convince us of all African and sometimes South American countries are hellscapes. Mostly, we just get told Cuba has old cars and is poor and stuff about Fidel Castro, and North Korea is also poor and very militaristic and nationalistic. But, like, that seems pretty accurate from your replies?

  • So, are things bad there or good there? Because if your argument is that Western sanctions make it bad to be there, then why not lobby to push for the end of sanctions instead?

    But that doesn't seem to be the case here. It feels like you are trying to have your cake and eat it. It is simultaneously a good place to be and suffering under sanctions, defectors are paid lots of money to exaggerate and live destitute lives to need that money.

    Like, it feels like you are saying people like it there, which... Yeah, people generally like to be in places they've always been. But that doesn't make it good there. There are people in the US that live in very poor conditions in cities and towns with access to poor water, poor education, poor nutrition, etc., and like it there. Does that mean it is actually good there instead? No, obviously. That is silly.

    Like, I dunno, man. Any country that does military parades is immediately kind of a red flag for me. That gives me strong nationalistic and patriarchal vibes and is not a thing that makes me think unbiased.

  • None of them. OP is projecting, misinformed, suffering psychosis, or all three. Democratic politicians said that violence is wrong, and that they mourn for Charlie's family.

    OP might be confusing reality with their own head canon, and should seriously consider going to a psychiatrist.

  • Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies

    Jump

  • Right. And that problem compounds itself, as well. The more AI generated information that exists and inevitably is fed back into the algorithm, the worse the outcomes will get because algorithms will essentially inbreed themselves off the data they generate.

    But these companies are desperate to hook other companies on AI. If they can generate income off of AI by renting other companies AI workers, they've made you a perpetual customer. The boss is asking workers to use these AI to feed more specific data into the algorithm to better mimic the workers because the more workers that use these, the more "good" data they can feed into them, to ultimately replicate your job functions.

    It's just... Bad from pretty much every angle.

  • Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies

  • What a dumb take.

    People don't use AI for a lot of reasons, but it's not because their company said they couldn't. Every programmer I know is being asked to use AI, and most of them find AI to be significantly shitty to use on top of how horrible it is to use it from an environmental, occupational, moral, and psychological view.

    Like, skip past the parts where AI has killed people. Skip past the insane water usage. Skip past the emissions. Skip past the cognitive reduction in reasoning.

    This thing was trained on whatever data they could get a hold of: the internet, discredited information, and biased data notwithstanding. When you're lucky, it is basically a coin flip on whether it works or not. So, if you have no foundation about the question you ask it, you have no clue if that is a hallucination or a bad data point or a correct answer. And if you do, you have to double check the answer anyway.

    AI, as it is now, is a glorified search engine doubling as a sycophant. The main purpose of the businesses that own and run AI is to keep you using it, forever. Whether it is good or bad at anything else is unintentional.

  • Kamala Harris Says She Has “Concerns” About Trans Student Athletes

    Jump

  • Wait, where are you going? You still haven't shown this group of trans people that are the top of women's sports.

    Statistically, if there is an advantage, trans people would be the top of their sports, given that all other factors would be normalized. So, you simply have to show that there is a congregation of trans people at the top. That would inarguably prove that you are correct and there is a competitive advantage to being trans. If you leave, I will continue to be under the (correct) assumption that there is no advantage to being trans.

  • Kamala Harris Says She Has “Concerns” About Trans Student Athletes

    Jump

  • Unless you can point to all of the trans athletes dominating sports right now, my point is pretty easy to defend. If it is a competitive advantage, there would be multiple trans athletes at the top of women's sports regardless of how uncommon being trans is, and there simply isn't.

    You're saying there's not enough data, but you're also saying that it shouldn't be allowed, therefore ensuring there will never be enough data using, again, the exact same excuses for making black leagues (competitive advantage). And to accuse me of cherry-picking while explicitly doing so is ironic, since I was using aggregated studies.

    It would be simpler for you to claim that you will never accept trans people, instead of trying to use logic to defend your stance, because you're wrong.

  • Kamala Harris Says She Has “Concerns” About Trans Student Athletes

    Jump

  • No, I get it. But, you're using what you feel is true versus what is true. The "advantage" you're talking about isn't significant among any study, ranging from a 7% advantage in some athletic categories to a 13% disadvantage in others.

    Competitive sporting associations have rules and regulations for trans athletes competing in sex-segregated leagues, and they typically involve around two years on HRT and I'm not sure if you're aware of the side effects of starting HRT, but athletes typically see substantial muscle loss. These competitive organizations do not see trans athletes excel when following these rules. And that is because trans athletes aren't superior to cis athletes.

    The strongest and tallest man probably has some advantages in some sports over the tallest and strongest woman, but you need to compare the strongest and tallest trans man to the man and trans woman to woman because those comparisons are surprisingly more in favor of the cis athlete than you would probably like for a whole host of reasons.

  • Men can take their shirts off for hot days and exercise. Why can't women do the same in 2025?

    Jump

  • Definitionally, if you say a part of being a woman is having breasts, and a woman doesn't have breasts, you are saying they are either less of a woman or not a woman at all.

    Either that, or your initial argument is wrong, and having breasts has nothing to do with being a woman, so there is nothing wrong with going topless as a woman.

    I will say it feels like you definitely believe not having breasts makes you less of a woman because you said "technically makes you a woman" here, which is a weird thing to say if you were arguing that women shouldn't be allowed to go topless for some sex-related reason.

    Part of

    you also have your vagina?

    You say disgusting things and try to backtrack when called out on them. You are such a coward to say horrible things and then pretend you didn't.

    No woman is defined by her breasts, vagina, or even chromosomes, and losing any part of her is not being less of a woman. Any woman with breast cancer is just as much of a woman before as after. Fuck you.

  • Oh, my bad. I'm glad you told her she is only less of a woman because she has no breasts.

    People like you are sick in the head.

    Women aren't less women because they lose their breasts. They're not less women for not having a vagina, whatever the fuck that means. Like, if your labia or clitoris are removed, are you less of a woman? If your uterus is removed, are you less of a woman? What a disgusting thing to tell women, that their womanhood is their genitals.

    People like you make breast cancer so much harder than it already is.

    Like imagine telling a woman with cancer, "luckily, your vagina is the only thing keeping you a woman". As if their genitalia is what defines them as a woman.
