I have no interest in downvoting you, but I would like to say that on priors, I would be surprised to learn that she saw “Hamas” and “Palestinians” as anything other than a distinction without a difference. She’s electively of a set with Lindsey “Nuke Gaza” Graham, and she’s voting for Trump apparently now, who has been very vocal about his support for the “kill them all” perspective.

Do you have specific evidence that leads you to believe otherwise, or is it more of a charity in humanity thing?

I would love to see research data pointing either way re #1, although it would be incredibly difficult to do so ethically, verging on impossible. For #2, people have extracted originals or near-originals of inputs to the algorithms. AI generated stuff - plagiarism machine generated stuff, runs the risk of effectively revictimizing people who were already abused to get said inputs.

It’s an ugly situation all around, and unfortunately I don’t know that much can be done about it beyond not demonizing people who have such drives, who have not offended, so that seeking therapy for the condition doesn’t screw them over. Ensuring that people are damned if they do and damned if they don’t seems to pretty reliably produce worse outcomes.

You’re missing 1.5: Make it impossible for people who every professional medical association of good repute says said medication help, get the medication by prescription.

I’m going to go with, “anyone who Putin left in place is performatively patriotic at best”.

So I think it’s less relevant to consider Russia qua Russia here, and think of it more as a negative applause light that has had its valence flipped through the exercise of the massive media machine that the right has built to prevent another Nixon from ever having to resign in disgrace again.

Well, the base is definitely suffering from a tragic lack of gravitas. It helps to be aware that you desire to mistake not your own worldview, for a universal one. “Common sense” is never truly common, but derived from the knowledge and beliefs of the individual.

You don’t think nearly 1/6th is statistically significant? What’s the lower bound on significance as you see things?

To be clear, it’s obviously dumb for their generative system to be overrepresenting turbans like this, although it’s likely to be a bias in the inputs rather than something the system came up with itself, I just think that 5% is generally enough to be considered significant and calling three times that not significant confuses me.

Russia funds them, and in at least some cases has kompromat. See: NRA, 2016 us national party hacks.

I don’t see what the problem is. I’ve definitely heard that with god, all things are possible, are we acknowledging that that’s not the case here? Can god only do spells with specific ingredients? Kinda sounds like witchcraft.

Why does he look like Dollar General Seth Meyers?

It would be a lot more badass when it gets caught in video?

Thanks, I hate it.

So for the 99% there is an abolishment of private property, leaving only personal property and public property, everyone has an equal share, and the state has been dissolved?

Because if not, at least one of us doesn’t understand communism. It’s entirely possible we both don’t. Would you be willing to clarify the term as you understand it?

Yeah, read through this thinking that from my perspective, NTs have some talents I don’t, but since they’re common people think of them as baseline rather than talents. Shit sucks.

Coming soon to a red state near you!

Yeah, the wiki is a big help, as is being aware that any item that has ‘Material’ in the list of traits when you mouse over it, can be brought to the guide, when you talk to him one of the options is ‘crafting’, and the empty blue box in that menu can have said items dropped into it for a list of all recipes using it, along with what workstation it takes.

Doesn’t seem to be on the list yet:

Terraria.

I have hundreds of hours on my steam account, and I’m pretty sure it’s actually thousands. It’s a great game, and it’s been updated so much since it released. When you could buy and hold gift copies of steam, I used to regularly buy new copies to hang on to to hand out to people; I’ve probably gotten ten people into it. Currently doing a modded master playthrough with my family and having a great time.

Transphobia, more than any other bigotry, seems to rot the mind. It’s not obvious to me why it’s that way, but there are several cases where you can watch someone start at some vaguely terfy position, and end by losing their work and nobody wanting to hire them and getting divorced because they just will not shut up about how trans people, a subset of humanity roughly on par with genetic redheads in the general population, are destroying society and making everything awful and ruining their bodies and on and on and on.

TERFs generally in fact do hate both, just in different ways. While I haven’t heard Rowling’s take, I’d be somewhat surprised if it wasn’t some version of the usual patriarchal agency denying thing where trans men are just confused by society telling them lies about escaping repression as women and how horrible it was that these poor girls were going to damage their bodies because they were just too dumb and weak-willed to know what they really wanted, which is a marriage to a good man and pumping out eight or nine kids. They want to take choice and self determination from all trans people, that version just plays better currently.

Incidentally, FtM and MtF are generally deprecated terms. Usually these days the terms, relative to my ordering in the prior sentence, are trans men and trans women, it’s less alienating than the older terms that tend to describe people as a segment of their life that isn’t them.

Later on you can try Darkness Falls and Undead Legacy. Both good in their own ways.
