    This is not the “same viewpoint Luigi holds.” The Canadian and British examples are grossly exaggerated to the point of being a bad faith argument, which leads me to suspect the US one might be as well.

    Lying about the problem doesn’t aid the cause; it harms it.

    Okay, like, I can like an aging Sony dad AND think all this pearl-clutching and hand wringing about “wokism ruining games” just because Ciri could actually arm wrestle me and drink me under a table is bonkers. It’s not Ciri’s fault that she can achieve a level of badass that these chuds can only imagine.

    Okay, I get the meme, but let’s not conflate what Brian Thompson did with the knowledge and skill required to practice medicine.

    He had a bachelor of business administration, and his claim to fame was increasing UnitedHealthCare’s denial claim rate from 8% to nearly 28%, while passing the profits from causing such widespread misery, suffering, and I am sure in many cases death, on to his investors and pocketing enough to never need to think about wealth again. The worst and least ethical of practicing doctors did more for society than Brian Thompson. Choosing to do nothing meaningful is a greater credit to society than Brian Thompson.

    They are not. Neo-liberalism is a plague on the moderate liberal centrist voters that we should be appealing to and educating instead of painting them all with the broad-stroke brush of “enemy.” The majority of liberal voters are left-aligned on social issues, and we should be appealing to that.

    Correct, and this is the real issue I am identifying when I point to this anti-liberal discourse as of late.

    Most of your common liberal voters are not in support of the things we are fighting against. They are poorly educated and mislead, and continuing to paint them as the enemy is making the problem worse and giving the far-right more power. “You’re either with us or against us” mentality isn’t conductive to genuinely solving socio-political problems.

    Fuck libertarians and neo-liberalism. They are not liberals, nor the centrists I was pointing to in my earlier post.

    Let’s be 100% clear here, the order of operations were:

    No, racism is not a problem in our state.

    I’m so tired of you Democrats and your woke ideology about racism!

    You should go back to where you came from!!!

    Specifically speaking to a NATIVE woman.

    It’s often said that if you don’t think racism is a problem, it’s because you’ve spent your life on the benefiting end of that equation. I’ll never begrudge someone for being lucky enough to not have to suffer from racism. That’s a problem to be solved with education. But the difference between being an ignorant, lucky beneficiary, and an active oppressor fighting to maintain this terrible status quo is stark.



  • Leveraging the company’s vast repository of user data, the AI Brain forecasts customers’ needs based on user-product interactions and contextual learning, performs advanced reasoning processes, and generates optimal solutions through orchestrating the actions of physical devices.

    This would be cute, if literally any corporate-level customer service actually understood and solved the consumer level problem. Feeding an LLM a series of your corprate-fuckery misunderstandings of what your consumers actually want is just doubling down on the end users fruatration.

    We need customer service to be more human, not less. The only time it functions well is when the CSR tosses out the script and starts speaking to you like a human being. Taking this the opposite direction is a great way to sell less product.

    Them choosing the “difficult path of faith” explains at least part of the reason for why they are so unempathetic.

    And why there are so many closeted homosexuals in their ranks.

    It’s easy to believe sexuality is a choice when you’re constantly fighting your “deviant” urges.
