  More salient takeaway is, don’t use a LLM to translate a scientific paper. Because it can’t translate a scientific paper. It can only rewrite the entire paper, in a different language. And it will introduce misunderstandings and hallucinations.

  if you actually believe the fox news ass all men are rapists line

  I heard that first-hand from women on this site.

  you wouldn’t argue if I said all bears are dangerous

  Yeah no shit, that’s the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was referring to IRL safe spaces and support groups.

  Making men’s spaces online specifically has the dual problem of being attacked by both misogynists and radical feminists. It’s a lot of work and a lot of hate to deal with, so they don’t pop up a lot. But yes, they do exist, there’s a semi-active menslib community on lemmy for example. I think that one veers way too heavily into the “us men are really awful aren’t we?” feminist takes, personally; the reddit one was a lot better.

  no one is saying all men are rapists

  You know that’s not true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You know that’s not what I’m talking about.

  Man, I have been in SO MANY internet arguments where I am simultaneously arguing against a woman that yes, men have problems, while also arguing against a man that no, those problems are not worse on the whole than women have.

  Back when the whole “bear in the woods” thing was going around misogynists would try to jump in and support me.

  Woman: “all men are rapists”

  Me: “that’s insulting and hurtful and misandrist, and also not even close to true”

  Misogynist: “Yeah! And also women are heartless bitches!”

  Me: “I don’t remember asking YOU a goddamn thing”

  Men don’t always isolate by choice. There’s a large cultural aversion to creating and sustaining male-only spaces, and that aversion comes from all sectors.

  Every college campus has a women’s club but if you try making a men’s club you’ll probably get reprimanded.

  k.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I would definitely put blahaj down as a queer-focused space rather than a women-focused space. It’s inclusive, women are welcome, but the community there is very much about queer issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think we can equate “queer space” with “women’s space”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You really don’t see the benefit to a group of similar people to have a space focused on them, their wants and needs and daily lives? A community of people like them? It’s one of the most fundamental human desires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  lemmy =/= the internet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, and I assume that’s the vast majority of whatever women these guys are satisfying their fetishes with (aside from women paid for it).

  But it’s still odd the fetish itself is so overwhelmingly male.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean there’s like 3 women on lemmy, and 2 of em are trans. I don’t think there really ARE any gender relations here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably the “vs patriarchy” part

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I give Ada a lot of credit. In the early days, I had the following interaction:

  TOPIC: Something about sexual/gender preferences, I don’t remember, asking people their preferences

  Me: responds with my preferences (I’m straight cis male, I like women so I’m down with post-transition trans women but pre-transition don’t turn me on)

  Some random user: respectfully asks if I would be willing to date a pre-transition trans man

  Me: I guess, but it probably wouldn’t work due to the fact that what I like about their body, they hate

  Some of those professionally offended people took a misleading screenshot of my response and started screaming about “chasers”.

  Ada did an admin post to the community backing me up and calling those idiots out.

  So unless she’s changed a lot, I don’t think she’s a troll. It would have been easy to go with the mob but she stuck up for me.

  Has anyone ever met a woman who was really into having her toes sucked? It’s always dudes with this fetish

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Via porn, gore and ultra-violence, extremist groups are sinking hooks online into the very young.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally EVERY SINGLE TIME a news article mentions both “porn” and “children”, it turns out it’s some bullshit being pushed by a Christian fundamentalist group, and often with an added dose of state surveillance and restricting liberty. Add in “terrorists”? Don’t even bother with this article, it’s pure hysteria propaganda. It’s like a WASPy suburban mom’s wet dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the fediverse is male, and there’s a significant trans woman space, but there’s no spaces that really cater to cis women or to trans men specifically that I’ve seen.

  And yes, I think it’s reasonable to look for a space that is strongly (though not exclusively) cis-woman, in the same way that a Protestant would feel out of place in a Catholic community, even though they’re all Christian. I imagine most cis women feel the same way as I (a cis man) feel when going to blahaj - like a friendly, allied visitor in a foreign land.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My old house was one of a row of housing with assigned parking spaces in front, perpendicular to the road. Like in front of a store.

  I was going to turn into my parking space. This behemoth of a truck was in front of me, going slow as molasses. I mean like 2 miles an hour. I could have stopped my car and walked home faster, but I was in the middle of the road.

  The truck in front of me veered left, towards the parking spots on the opposite side of the road. I said “fucking FINALLY” and darted past them on the right.

  Turns out they had finally found the spot they were looking for and had just swung wide to turn into the spot. On the right, not the left. They turned straight into me as I tried to drive past.

  Ever since then I make sure to use my blinker even if I’m just turning into my driveway.
