You're spending a lot of energy to argue a matter of semantics.
Yes, overall purchasing power has gone up. The median American can afford more Temu tchotchkes than ever before.
However, a few key items (healthcare, education, housing) are increasingly expensive, and that makes people feel poorer.

So the thing about the Bluesky "Rude" label is that this single label has two different semantics, one of which is useful for content labeling, one of which is not:
- "This user chronically responds to other people's posts with negativity."
- "This user opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq"
- "This user chronically responds to other people's posts with negativity."
- "This user opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq"
I'm seeing reports that "rude" is one of the labels that defaults not just to "warn" but to "hide", which is bonkers.
Be sure to go through the immediately visible labels, the ones where you have to click the "Bluesky moderation" labeler, _and_ the special "adult content" checkbox.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I think from a psychological point of view, the reason Zionists like Alex are acting this way is because they know in their heart of hearts that the days of being able to hide Israel's human rights abuses behind clever rhetorical tricks and arguments about semantics are over.

The dialogue responses would look something like this
1. Humans are born with the capacity for choice, though the extent of that freedom varies. (0 PTS)
2. A wide range of external factors and influences shape our ability to make decisions. (0 PTS)
3. That’s just semantics, not philosophy. (10 PTS)

"But Solaire its just semantics-"
There is a massive difference in automation and using GenA/I for 70% of the workload.
Im not supporting the choice to potentially use GenA/I at all but Jesus fucking Christ, can reporters at least quote what eas actually SAID

What does the word "symbolize" mean
Like, I know the definition. But in your view, what are the semantics? What are the "truth conditions" (or equivalent) of a sentence "X symbolizes Y"?

I am lowkey physically repulsed by nix's semantics
![screenshot of a snippet of some nix code and some text from a paper:
let x = 10; in let x = 12; in x # returns 12
with { x = 10; }; with { x = 12; }; x # returns 12
let x = 10; in with { x = 12; }; x # returns 10
with { x = 10; }; let x = 12; in x # returns 12
Naively one might expect the third program to return 12, because x is shadowed. However, in Nix
let has priority over with, regardless of whether the let is enclosed in the with or not. These rules
are a well-known source of confusion [ 11, 43, 54 ], and the prior semantics of Nix by Dolstra [16]
(which uses ordinary substitutions) got these rules wrong (§ 7.2).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i32jjsch6xqcguzsf2lgbfyu/bafkreiakqcqo6dovcf5xjaohzdmddwqd6wqubkth2avyhhorzeo5oz3psu@jpeg)

Then he wanted to argue semantics. "That's not a race." i give zero shits. Hate someone because they're a d*ck, not for anything else. 🤬

If the intent was to actually destroy private insurance companies thats one thing, but “giving the money back to the people” so they can then pay health insurance companies for insurance seems like semantics

So all her hard work is out the window for you over one comment you disagreed with.
Anything can be described as a distraction from something else.
It's just semantics, choice of words in the moment.
Of course Pelosi has sympathy for the victims of Epstein & his associates.

imo rusts type system is one of the closest things we have to fulfilling that promise. the sheer expressiveness of the type system and its rusts move semantics makes it possible to push so much more information onto type invariants and thats extremely powerful. including for memory safety

Semantics! There is only one male reported Epstein victim. One too many. There were hundreds and hundreds of underaged females, as young as 11 years old.
The point is they were victims of horrendous abuse, threats, humiliation and rape!

Thinking abt this more i think i understand whats happening...
It is another language but it doesn't differ in words/lexical components
It differs in something called Lexical Semantics or the meaning of the words
The words may be the same but the meaning is foreign//

This is so very true, it is hard right after u get out bc ur so used to responding to abuse u read abusive subtext when it's not there. Like u grew up learning one language but when u leave u realize everyone is speaking a different language than u even tho they use the same words
