Hmm, I think I might have completely fucked up my phrasing somewhere because you seem to be agreeing with me.

No, it’s that AI has a white male bias.

Sounds great on theory but that’s just another way of saying minorities don’t get a vote.

Then the people living in those 10 blocks have to live with whatever the rest voted for regardless of whether it works for them or not with no hope of things ever changing because they’re a minority.

Yep. I just didn’t wanna draw a distinction between gerrymandering and regular settings of electoral borders because there’s a mouthful.

More like, “If I focus on being an asshole to people throwing cans on the ground, I don’t have to stop using my car”

Well, it’s a complicated issue. Let’s assume there’s a state where all but an area of 10 blocks votes for candidate X. If that area happens to be split between several cities, the people living there are SOL as their vote is basically useless. Gerrymandering allows them to have a say in what goes on. But yes, as with everything, corruption ruins it.

Look at it this way: Even if your sample is biased by taking it from a place where the anti AI zealots are out in full force, about 76% of people either can’t tell or can’t be bothered to care.

Does it even counts as enshittifying if they were born that way?

The OG Silent Hill. Dandelions along a path? A bitter tangerine? What the hell are these puzzles, man?
Also, I love the emergency hammer. It’s my new best friend.

Oh, I see. I read my saved articles on the bathroom so it takes me around 184 minutes regardless of what my initial purpose was anyway.

Then I don’t see the problem in shitting during peeing.

Sitting to pee instantly solves half of these

He’s appending the output of the command Ryzen to the AMD file. I don’t see the confusion.

Now I’m just confused.

Well, seems that having a trusted party with your location would help with that, fellow inhabitant of a fascist regime.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 1 week ago:
I don’t see it as being tracked, though. I trust my wife (and my sister) to not be checking it 24/7.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 1 week ago:
My wife and I have our location shared with each other 24/7. Furthermore, my sister also has mine and my wife has her sister’s. It has nothing to do with trust and everything to do with safety. Perhaps the real lack of trust is not assuming your partner will use your location to control you.

- Comment on Plant Slurs 3 weeks ago:
Are those actually considered lettuces, though? It’s most likely a cultural thing but none of those are lettuces over here. As in, calling them lettuce would be as far fetched as calling spinach lettuce.
- Comment on Plant Slurs 3 weeks ago:
Another fun fact about plant naming conventions: all lettuces* are the same species
*except wild lettuce but nobody really considers that a lettuce. Still, I guess it would be more correct to say all of the food lettuces are the same species.

Yes, very original.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 month ago:
Yes. Perpetuating sexist and transphobic gender roles is massive bigotry. You are a bigot.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 month ago:
No. What’s very manipulative and a great way to avoid any debate is excusing bigotry under the guise of “not ALL of them”. And yes, you’re a bigot.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 month ago:
I’m sure all they’re concerned about is censoring and it has nothing to do with anything else.
