It's the bigotry. It's always the bigotry. Their defining worldviews are that white people are the master race, women are natural born servants, and queer and trans people should be eradicated. Everything else is meaningless flavor text to distract nerds.
Put another way:
I get JD Vance's view as consistent. I got Thiel's view as consistent. I do not get why they are in bed together.

Watching Baron Munchausen for the first time in decades, and I forgot almost everything about it. If they remake this, I might build a doomsday weapon.

I put forth that if what we want is true fairness anyone who is more than 0.5 standard deviations from the human mean in any measurement should be excluded from competitive sports. That would put the range at about 5 ft 7 in +/- 1.5 in and 135 lbs +/- 8 lbs..
when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages
“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

It's almost refreshing to come across this. There's never a thought that this was written by an LLM. It's too stupid for that. It reads with the cadence of a kindergarten religious play performed by one of the kids from Peanuts. It's beautiful in its functional illiteracy and righteous ignorance.

It's insane to me that there's always a new article about how tanking is the biggest real problem in pro sports and nobody knows how to solve it. It's easy. Whammies in the lottery. Could you get the 1OA? Yep. Could you turn 3 home games into road games instead? Oh yeah.

AI is the stupidest, most misleading term and it's just image laundering. Machine learning is a powerful tool for data analysis and modeling. Stop using terms that make people think that things like chatgpt are actually useful.
Meteorologists are surprised that the weather model that did the best job forecasting hurricanes this year was a new one, introduced by Google. AI may be the beginning of a new era of forecasting. n.pr/49MFa1M

Lb of frozen soup veggies in the pot until that then turkey and follow the instructions on the box.

One of the best things about the Mass Effect franchise was the distinction between virtual intelligence (an advanced interactive/adaptive program with a directed purpose) and artificial intelligence (sentient machine life). By this measure, we haven't even made a functioning VI yet, let alone AI.
There seems to be a pretty huge disconnect between tech people & the rest of society regarding AI. I know VERY FEW people outside of that sector who find it useful & use it regularly, and most people I know hate how it's getting shoved down our throats, & breaking things that used to be useful
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Okay. Imma drop this and run. People need to stop using the term "rock" referring to music and bands. If it was made in North America in the last couple decades it's pop, not rock. If you need to differentiate it from dance stuff, it's guitar pop. Some of the whinier indie stuff could be neo-folk?

![REVERE, Mass. —
A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)

I am genuinely mad that enough people talked about this band to make me listen to a song. I am mad that YouTube classifies them as a rock band. I am mad that Simon Cowell didn't magically appear in whatever basement they formed in to berate them until they cried and quit.
They’re awful. I said it on Twitter and people were like “you just don’t get it” while praising that dude’s voice like it doesn’t sound like a goose being strangled. It’s like everyone’s doing it ironically.
A lot of people whose music taste overlaps with mine love this band, so I keep trying, and I just cannot get into them.

Thanksgiving food doesn't suck. Yo momma can't cook. I know. I didn't have good turkey until I was almost 30.
the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.
