IMO English as a programming language is a fools errand. Part of the reason why we _have_ programming languages is because it turns out human language is too ambiguous.

My sister went to a furry convention this last weekend. I don't get it, but yeah, I am just kind of like "cool! I hope it was fun!"

My philosophy in most things. Even if I don’t understand it, who cares? It’s America and that means freedom

I’d prefer kindness and good faith when talking to strangers, but maybe my expectations are too high.

Do you think you’ll change someone’s mind by being an asshole? Rarely works.

I’d be more willing to engage with your argument in good faith without inflammatory language like this. Try and meet people where they are and these conversations become easier.

I feel the same way. Maybe it’s the ADHD, maybe I’m just dumb, but I cannot parse well the giant walls they tend to produce.

That doesn’t mean evidence for banal claims isn’t required.

Yes. What does undeniably trans mean? Can you explain what makes you so confident? How is this provable?

How? Please explain.

As I said in my original comment, I don’t have an answer. I refuse to believe though that the only options that exist are the ones already tried. Do you really think in the couple thousand years of history, we’ve exhausted every viable option when liberal democracy is only an incredibly recent invention?

The question that many do not want to think about. We (as a society (referring to all Western Liberalism, not just the US)) are so thoroughly convinced that Liberal Democracy is the End of History, and it's the 'flawed but best,' as many say, but refuse to imagine something better.

It's puzzling that a system that is supposed to reward creativity and genius like capitalism limits it's inhabitants in their imagination when it comes to how one might structure society.

I don't claim to have the answer, and _no,_ my issues with Liberal Democracy/Capitalism don't mean I'm a communist / socialist / thing-people-don't-like.

What's your proof? Or are you just going to make snide one-liners to feel like you won?

> “they all want”

Let me stop you right there - any time you generalize to that degree, you’ve already failed to think critically and charitably about the issue.

You’re missing their point, they’re not defending EU policy and in fact agree that current capability is poor. They’re saying that it can change and that the US is also self sabotaging in other ways.

dude, I don't want to be a hater, but this is a pretty crappy game that barely works. I honest to god could have made this in a week without AI. Is it cool that AI made it in 2 days? Sure, but it's not groundbreaking.

Also, I don't think we're at an inflection point when companies are starting to wisen up to just how much this shit costs.
