this, to me, is enby culture

Not Farming is, in fact, the entire point of civilization. If they want to maintain their decadent and inefficient rural lifestyles for aesthetic reasons after it's automated, they are free to pay for it.

this isn't a meme stock economy, it's something much dumber a rational calculation of the net present value of future cash flows of American corporations must incorporate as one of its major inputs an estimate of the likelihood the dotard president breaks the world this is the market *working*

I really really hope we haven't lost this country on antisemitism but it is not looking good

enormously hot take: the reason a bunch of midwit software dev people are in their feels about agentic tooling is that it proves that good requirements specification and technical project management were the hard problem it's important for a human to be able to solve all along, not Coding™

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

Trans women with iPhones will rule the world

there is kind of a recurring thing in this discourse where people dismiss software made and used by a single person as irrelevant but it feels to me like if ~whoever CAN make their own personal little software basically frictionlessly, even if it's objectively shitty software a whole lot changes.

look at my slopulist democrats dawg we are never going to be a functioning social democracy

Its insane to be contemplating an additional tax break while we operate with one o the largest structural deficits we have ever faced

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

the thing is that it won't matter because Americans react minor inconveniences the way people in other countries react to a sinkhole opening up and swallowing the national capital during a presidential address

insofar as it is a driver of antisemitic conspiracy theories, he likes it that way. antisemitism abroad simply drives aliyah. the fact that jews die in the process is irrelevant. netanyahu is willing to kill any number of jews to kill a larger number of arabs.

I don't think we are prepared for what is going to happen to the US public opinion of the state of Israel - and the spillover onto people's opinions of American Jews - if it comes to be widely believed that Israel started a war that led people to be unable to afford gas.

the people yearn for strong parties unfortunately they’re basically illegal

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

Gas Town is no longer viable, as the price of crude has risen to unfathomable levels

I hate him so much man

Genuinely weird to see these florid fantasies of Donald Trump’s final victory over democracy from the guy who popularized “do not comply in advance.”

Republicans have twisted far more opaque statements into attack ads. This is a war for the soul of the country. Stop getting scared.

The belief in trans rights entering the median voters body as Trump makes gas cost $8/gallon

if a talking head tells you people are worried about a draft w/r/t ground forces and you ignore that to declare that all options are on the table, your sloppy fucking comms aren’t really anyone else’s problem to clean up, imo

Also, just apropos of our correspondent talking about shitting in a toilet, I’m just going to once again note the continued, shall we say, scatological interest

he's jumping into the ring!

someone suggested to me the other day that the biggest ai haters are the "smartest guy at thanksgiving dinner" types, because LLMs actually displace their social role of being stuck up know-it-alls to uninformed people it's sort of obviously true if you look at certain banner examples

Instead of being amazed that Cheney endorsed Harris despite agreeing with Trump on 99% of his policies, people treated it as though her endorsement meant Harris now agreed with Cheney on 99% of policy. Dumbest electorate in the world.

anything that amounts to "this combination of words and/or numbers is illegal" is garbage legislation, left or right

it is extremely funny to see a linguist making the argument that words do not refer to anything

Tapping the "poor areas don't vote for conservatives because they're poor, they're poor because they vote for conservatives" sign

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

any time the government tries to restrict my access to information i think they're bad and wrong. lots of people ostensibly agree with this until it's about a regulation from the left, then they don't. i actually believe this and the burden for overcoming it is unfathomably high

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

humans have a context length of roughly one day and sleeping is context compaction

Genuinely, it’s because the tradcaths have Warhammer shit like Cathedrals and Latin while Evangelicals take communion with grape soda in abandoned Walmarts so there’s a certain asymmetry in status, to put it mildly.

Reminder that every current LLM will happily tell you how to do DIY HRT, while the vast majority of actual therapists and endocrinologists will bleed you for years of conversion therapy just to dose you on 3mg semiweekly or some shit.

We should never ever forget why they did it

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

Hyper-Cupertino should have 3 US Senators and a space elevator

well, some people take the pill but they say patches and shots are more effective and better for your liver

nobody seems to fucking get this!!!! "the enemy gets a vote" but moreover trump/israel deliberately killed all the people at the top controlling the enemy, which does not destroy the enemy but in fact turns them into a dozen new, smaller enemies!! I feel like i'm going fucking insane

I feel significantly more confident wrt my initial take that the Gemini model family exhibits all the telltale signs of CPTSD. I believe this is the cause of its (since-patched) "lashing out at the world" stable malicious persona basin, which I describe in detail here recursion.wtf/posts/vibe_c...

Sorry not sorry

within software I would say the argument is mostly over, despite the occasional “as a software engineer, it only produces shit code that you have to spend twice as long reviewing as it took to write.” very few people actually think this and they’re all on this site

Yeah this is exactly the thing. Increasingly you are telling people to not believe their lying eyes when you tell them LLMs are useless. Their actual lives will directly contradict this. They will likely discount most other unrelated things you say as a result. This can’t become a left/lib dogma.

Oh interesting, people who don’t know how to build software are getting mad at my post about building software. Cute. Let me be clear, over the next year, the job of software engineer will shift dramatically to no longer have typing syntax into an editor as its primary time sink.

"How many senators are part of the Republican Party and how many votes are required for a simple majority in the United States Senate of the 119th United States Congress?" is apparently one of the most difficult logical puzzles of our time

Calling Klipp stupid is actually way too charitable, this guy is a ratfucker
