Happy Birthday!

The Indian subcontinent shaking and crying right now.

Ah, I get it. Really interesting, thanks!

Cool! Are there different Finnish accents? Geographic, socioeconomic, or otherwise?

Maybe

Granted, I think a human stomach is more difficult to traverse than a frog, and it’s more likely that it came in the back door. I’m just not willing to rule it out.

The signal to noise ratio is so low these days. There’s so much information out there but everyone wants to profit from you before you can get it. Even worse, the people with good information generally can’t buy as big a megaphone as the people who profit from lying to you.

Honestly, I think humans have been more likely to believe an easy lie than a hard truth all along, but it’s easier than ever these days.

I suspect it would be difficult to generate enough data to intentionally change a dataset. There are certainly little holes, like the glue pizza thing, but finding and exploiting them would be difficult and noticing you and blocking you as a data source would be easy.

Thank you for your reply. I don’t think we disagree that much, but I’m afraid we may be miscommunicating a bit.

What determines “biological sex”?

Chromosomes? Except someone with Androgen Insensitivity may have XY chromosomes, but physically appear to be female.

Genitalia? But we have intersex people with ambiguous genitalia

Testosterone? Caster Semanya

Full disclosure: this seems more your field than mine. I don’t think I’m educating you, just trying to clarify my point. It seems like you’re arguing against “There’s no such thing as assigned gender at birth”. What I’m saying that there is no objective way to categorize all humans into neat little sex boxes. Biological sex is a spectrum with most people either at the “male” point or the “female” point, but some examples everywhere in between.

I’m not going to form a solid opinion about someone with one tweet. I will certainly keep an eye out for more information.

(I don’t think using Lemmy profits this person? I don’t know. I care much more about supporting someone who may be transphobic than just knowing they exist.)

“Biological male” is a meaningless term generally used by transphobes. And the whole debate is transphobic on its face. Nobody cares about women’s sports at all, and now people jumping to"defend their sanctity" are just goofy.

I’m sorry, apparently I can’t read. I somehow glossed over that part. Thanks for the clarification.

I’m new here. I don’t really know anything about the Lemmy devs.

But…that tweet is not particularly transphobic? I’m going to take a hard look at anyone who uses the phrase “the transgender topic”. But if that’s the best proof that the Lemmy devs are transphobic, it’s not terribly convincing.

Not really sure how I misread the tweet.

Or the store just got their Dasani shipment. Or they ordered twice as much because it’s so popular.

Sometimes jokes are funny as long as you don’t think about them too much.

I literally started watching this yesterday. No idea how I went so long without seeing it.

The miniseries is kind of rough (emotionally), but I guess I wasn’t prepared for >!the destruction of humanity.!<. It’s incredibly good though.

The dystopian part is something about having a robot standing between us and human contact. I prefer texting over calling as much as the next millennial, but no one asked for them to insert AI into the process. No doubt this is an opt out “service” primarily designed to allow Apple to use all of their customers’conversations as training data.

This scenario is a comic exaggeration of the worst case, but serves as a good example of exactly what’s wrong.

A cab with no driver is just an incredibly expensive gender neutral toilet. I shudder to think what will be done in these if they ever exist.

Didn’t he say full self drive was two years away at least 5 years ago?

With no information, the blurb is almost designed to be infuriating. But remember that they didn’t just drop a wall there. We’re talking about grading and building roads for heavy equipment to get there, probably storage, and who knows what else. My money says that was the grift in the first place: scam Trump voters into paying to turn a worthless piece of land into something usable.

By “How 2016 turned out” you mean the Democrats ran a conservative, establishment Democrat when literally everyone was saying we want change? Then she was beaten by an “outsider” and the Democrats went all ‘shocked Pikachu face’ and blamed progressives for their choices?

Dems think that we owe them our votes while they refuse to represent us. That is not democracy.

They’d probably just turn back into grizzlies eventually.

I’m not saying this will definitely reverse the Earth’s polarity and doom all life on earth, but do we really want to take that chance?!
