Yeah, think I’m going to stick with “evangelical“ since that indexes the concept that I’m generally trying to communicate to the people I communicate about it with and these alternatives clarify nothing.

She makes youtube videos for toddlers and opposes genocide. What the actual fuck is wrong with you?

Still blows my mind that they just pretend to care about the budget and everyone just plays along.

Guys the fact that this is an existing technology reimagined from first principles will not in any way deter the financial geniuses at Silicon Valley Bank. We just gotta talk our book with conviction.

I agree with the guy who says they’re cats and I think that’s beautiful.

I’m guessing this is Little Rocket Lab? Just picked it up since this chud made it sound so enticing and it’s on sale.

Conservatives are somehow always the protagonists of our politics yet they never seem to have any agency.

Well, more of a stereotype.

I’m sorry, who is “we“? Democrats voted against the cuts in the first place. The moment you got upset you forgot the simplest outline of the events that brought us here. You think that you can convince voters next November that Democrats averted a crisis they never felt?

I’m wondering if some staffer saw the Hasan Minhaj “Condemn or Condone” bit and didn’t understand the difference in context.

Something tells me that this framing will be put to the test when a non-Likud coalition takes over. I wouldn’t bet much that coalition will be better for Gazans.

We’re literally talking about a collapse in the demand for exports here. If domestic demand exceeded supply this problem would not exist.

Why don’t you shut the entire fuck up about all of this shit if you can’t handle hearing opinions other than yours?

And while I’m not sure it matters he’s far more likely a closet socialist idealist than a crypto-capitalist shill.

He’s by no means a saint but he’s a decent man who is personally ambitious (laudatory). I don’t mind hearing good faith criticism of the things he actually says and does but that is in short supply among his haters.

At a certain point one must acknowledge that the duty of the sourherner to be a good neighbor supersedes the duty of the northerner to always imagine the southerner as a good neighbor.

“The border is a mess“ means ”racists have been screaming at me and I thought I could make them stop.“ You can’t compromise with people who don’t have a rationally-considered, reality-based view.

“The Measure of a Man” is more central to my moral journey than any holy text so I’m definitely as surprised as anyone to find myself on this side of the debate, but here we are.

If we’re going to critique the critique “luddite“ seems like the better allegation than “bigot” as that other user argues.

So, I do take this point seriously, but I’m not really seeing the behavior being criticized? I see the occasional ironic use of “clanker” but most of the ire I’m seeing directed at AI seems to be grounded in frustration with what the users and proponents are trying to do with it.
