> “terrorists”
2.5k sounds kind of genocidal, and attacking a hospital? Aren’t “terrorists” usually more like military?
I guess the headline just sounds wrong. Other side would probably say this is a “genocidal attack”

a new kind of centrism emerges? horseshoe theory of sorts? an independent populist of sorts (against uniparty)?
(tea party, back in the day) current right: against big government
(occupy, back in the day) / current left: against big corporations
?neu-populist-centrist?: against big government and big corporations

- Comment on Teen Dies After Intense Bond with Character.AI Chatbot 1 month ago:
His mother, The New York Times reports, plans to file a lawsuit against Character.AI, alleging the platform’s “dangerous and untested” technology led to his death
To me this is a compounding problem of this whole situation, I feel like lawsuits like this can be so extremely bad for society as they raise the cost of starting businesses, thereby almost guaranteeing we are subject to large corporations with greater likelihood (a lawsuit like this could probably bankrupt a small business, whereas large corporations can pay them)
but as far as AI contributing to the suicide or not, I’m not sure. Perhaps parents should prudently restrict a lot of access to things like this in general. Perhaps the person would have taken their life regardless of interaction with the AI.
- Comment on Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily users 1 month ago:
this is pretty sad to me because it’s almost like sending a signal to them that harmful practices like the API conflict last year were “worth it”… seems like short term profit thinking will doom reddit long term at some point, maybe?

- Comment on JD Vance: "They're attacking Pete Hegseth for having a Christian motto tattooed on his arm. This is disgusting anti-Christian bigotry" 1 month ago:
I think the paradox of tolerance seems to be wildly misunderstood by the left
if a person cannot be tolerant of the intolerant, then they’re not a tolerant person; hence this “paradox” as interpreted by leftists, seems to advocate for shades of intolerance then, and against a tolerant society existing
yet, tolerance does not imply agreement, nor pacifism. Someone is still free to argue against someone with a view they disagree with, or if such a person uses violence against the person wrongly, they don’t have to “tolerate” the violence (although they are free to do so if that would be prudent) but are able to defend themselves with lawful self-defense
I suppose the word “tolerance” is probably ambiguous in this “paradox”
Additionally, the predominant American attitude seemed to be that such “intolerance” could be voluntarily argued against and overcome; it is legal to advocate for violent ideologies like Nazism or Communism alike, and usually such people were ignored or problems for example with their economics views were brought up and most people voluntarily agreed that such ideologies were not ideal.
So as I understand it, the “paradox of tolerance” is not really a justification for or argument for a necessity of “not tolerating the intolerant”

not Christian extremism, just Christian symbols
I’m not really a fan of tattoos but they’re not necessarily morally wrong, I think some Christians have put small cross tattoos on when going in to combat for bodily identification if they died in battle for example

They’re honestly just Christian symbols and not a problem

Well, I see some leftwing people post they can’t coexist with Nazism in contrast for example. Are you ok with coexisting with nazism or do you think it needs to be “crushed”? I disagree that islam needs to be “crushed” however authortarian variants may pose such a danger

Tattoo on arm: “Deus Vult” (God wills it, crusader motto… typically associated with Catholicism, although Hegseth is Baptist I think?)
Tattoo on chest: Jerusalem cross (multiple religious meanings attached to it)

- Comment on Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy could use private sector methods to slash government jobs 1 month ago:
ehhhh, there’s kind of already a lack of unity as a country, and a lack of standards, and even with the standards apparently a lot of underperforming students
schools will decide that there’s no point in teaching mathematics if math teachers are expensive and impacting the bottom line
since businesses need people who have math skills, the market asks for people to be educated in math, in turn giving incentive for schools to teach math, so there are basically market checks and balances here
plus I imagine if you like math, you don’t need to be forced to learn it, you just fire up something like andymath.com and learn it yourself (for free / cost of internet + electricity) or could post on forums asking for help
It’s definitely a risk and gamble, but they think it will be worth it and produce better results

I think the opposing view says that these things can be provided by private companies or nonprofits
Take the federal Department of Education, for example. You could easily just let state universities take over and/or form a non-federal alliance of sorts or allow educational businesses or nonprofits to be created to fill in the gap.
I think that’s what they have in mind

So, do Judaism and Islam not put much stock in converting non-believers?
Christianity does, maybe that also averts some violent conflict
Jews I thought are mostly born Jews (as opposed to non-Jews, or Gentiles, rather). So those not born Jews are already “the other” for them. I have heard of people converting, but is it not the same? I ask because there doesn’t seem like much idea that the Palestinians could be converted and become Jews.
Likewise, what’s up with Islam’s approach to conversion? I thought people can convert to Islam… so why do they have so many radicals dedicated to (violent) jihad against infidels? Rarely do I hear Muslims say that the solution is for Israel to convert to Islam (do they say this?).
