Still better than Trump by a huge margin.

Will a republican judge see a fault in a married woman voting against her owners husbands wishes?

I don’t want to fuck Rowling.

By the time we see the nova in the coming days, another ~75 will have happened since the one we’ll be seeing.

It was the remains of fish which we ground into powder and fed to other fish and sheep, whose remains we ground into powder and fed to other sheep and cows, whose remains we ground to powder and fed to other cows.

Just because the mode of payment changes with the technical abilities of the medium doesn’t change that.

Not according to German, French, and I suspect most of other european countries laws. Only torrenting copyright-protected content is against the law because you’re uploading the content (distributing) while downloading.

Would you call it piracy to yank out the ad insert from a free newspaper and throw it into the trash without looking at it? Because that’s the exact analog from the non-digital world. Just because the mode of payment changes with the technical abilities of the medium doesn’t change that.

What is more racist, though? The average cop or the average LLM? I’d wager a guess it’s the average cop. So, it would still be a net benefit.

Hamas is not at that point.

So, how many bombs still need to be dropped on Palestine to get them there?

Just to be clear: are you talking about the Palestinian terrorists or the Israeli terrorists?

From wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender

The term cisgender was coined in 1994 as an antonym to transgender, and entered into dictionaries starting in 2015 as a result of changes in social discourse about gender.[4][5] The term has been and continues to be controversial and subject to critique.

I think there’s some confirmation bias on your end here. The local community (including me) tends to be young and liberal and knows the term cisgender. I’d bet that the majority (by a huge margin) of English speakers (including as a second or third language) has never even heard the term cisgender or doesn’t know what it means. Lots of them will react negatively if you label them cisgender out of pure ignorance and false assumptions - no transphobia needed.

Only complete asshole transphobes do. Honestly, not even they do. They just lie about it as a gotcha.

Sure, they exist. But what’s their percentage of the population or the X user base? I think you’re making a false generalization by an invalid extrapolation.

And just to be clear: I’m not saying cisgender is a slur. I’m just pointing out that the notion that community A or an individual can decide whether some word is a slur or not in community B is ridiculous, and that the argument, from the first comment I replied to, for technical correctness or intended meaning of a word is irrelevant for who considers what a slur.

I hope that made my point clearer to your dry-nosed primate’s brain.

Whoa, who would’ve guessed there are so many anti-Semites in Israel!?

Something not catering to your sensibilities doesn’t translate to “inappropriate”. There’s clear criticism in that comment. Do you want to deny them to voice criticism?

If only …

I used to like C++. Over the last ~20 years it became a horrible language (imho). It now has more syntax than all other C-style languages combined. I try not to touch it (anymore) if I don’t have to. ~7 years ago I got hired as a senior C# .NET developer (experience since .NET 1.1). I ended up doing nothing but C++ for the first year because people found out I could do it. I was the guy in that meme:
