@erinerYou are under the somewhat childish illusion that things that would really bother you, are therefore great insults to toss at others.I am not at all offended by being called gay. Likewise, being called a "retard" by someone obviously more than a little sensitive and insecure about their own lack of intellect, also doesn't offend me at all.I don’t give a toss for your opinion of me, my dude. I just think you are a forlorn and insecure knob

@futurebird I have to keep explaining to my team-mates that the (highly useful) AI built into our QDA is not reasoning or intelligent or capable of any understanding, but the biggest obstacle is that at times it sure as shit LOOKS like it is reasoning.It is fiendishly hard to get them to grasp that the LLM doesn't "understand" anything at all@emilymbender

@McPoopsYou don't have to support "democrats"But if you want things to get better rather than worse, you have to show up, and you have to select the individuals on the ballot that represent the best chance of getting improvement.@burnoutqueen

@burnoutqueen Oh really, Jackie?There is no metric that isn't worse now. People whose egos prompted them to abstain from voting for the Black lady, have caused everything to be worse.It's now worse for Gaza, for LGBTQ +, for people of color, for people with chronic illness, for Ukraine, ...

@burnoutqueen That's not the point though, is it?The point is whether the outcomes are better or worse.We had a choice of A or B, this lens or that lens, this outcome or that outcome.Americans voted to have a worse outcome for pretty much everyone, and that is THEIR choice, and theirs alone.

@burnoutqueen Your categorical rejection does sweet FA in making anything better though, and millions of people decided to take that approach and therefore allowed the people who are actually rather in favor of genocide to win. If you refuse to pull on the rope and condemn the sport of tug-o-war instead, the sport doesn't vanish, but the people pulling in the other direction win.

@burnoutqueen And how does one stop the right wing by not voting, or by spoiling one's vote on a candidate that cannot possibly win?Like Ma'am, we are going to agree on pretty much everything on what outcomes we want. What pisses me off is that you choose a method that is guaranteed not to improve any of those things.Had the Black woman won, all these things would have been better, and now all those things are worse.So I am not getting your reasoning about how we help these millions

@burnoutqueen You really don't think we are no worse off now?Really?Gestapo disappearing people?Concentration camps?Increased military action in Gaza, and real actual serious discussion of removing them entirely and selling the territory to developers? Trans people simply vanished?Gays persecuted and their rights stripped?I mean I could carry on for days listing all the things that are now far worse, before I even get to the millions of people who are going to starve or die

For some reason YouTube has decided to show me a ton of shorts that basically involve clips of people living with emetophobia or other psychogenic reaction being "pranked" by people pretending to retch or using props that make retching sounds ... and I am here to tell you that this is straight-up abuse.Deliberately triggering any phobia in another person isn't humor, it is bullying and abuse

@futurebird It really bugged me when notations and symbology changed from one discioline to another.Like f(x) should mean f * x, not "function of"
