happy transgender day of remembrance

thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly

please live 💜

Not American, but do most Americans get to truly experience a walkable urban city/lifestyle? How would they know what they're missing if they never got to experience it? It makes perfect sense to me that most people would prefer an idealized version of what's familiar to them

There's nothing more black piling than realizing that the "other side" doesn't really care and/or stand for anything. Politics is just blood sports for most people, privileged enough not to be actually affected by it

Are you using Linux? I had similar issues on Linux with integrated Intel graphics on my laptop. Either way there should be chrome flags you can set so it doesn't get deprioritized when you tab out. That worked for me, but it's not a guarantee.

Once again.

I am really happy for my trans brothers and sisters in the USA. Hopefully it's a good omen for the rest of the world.

‘Alas, This Brings to Me No Comfort,’ Sighs Kirby After Winning 4,352nd Eating Contest in a Row

Trump and Musk share a commonality of somehow being both quite clever and extremely dumb which I (and others) have found confusing.

I have a model that has been working.

I think they’re both clever guys with extremely narrow worldviews.

It's because people are fundamentally bad at reading people's behavior. There's a lot of overlap in different behaviors' presentations and the reasoning behind someone's behavior can be quite opaque. People also aren't charitable so they assume the worst of you. It's bad in person worse online.

Wouldn't a no fly zone include Ukrainans too? I thought the whole point of no fly zones is that it's kind of neutral.

Screenshot from Wikipedia with the following text: Divorced and remarried Catholics During a Vatican press conference in October 2014, Erdő expressed opposition to the idea of allowing divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion.[17] Migrants During the 2015 European migrant crisis, Erdő said that taking in refugees would amount to human trafficking.[18][19] Romani people Erdő has written about the special socio-economic conditions of the Romani people and has openly wondered on the correct way to evangelize them.[20] Church in Hungary Erdő has focused on Hungary's need to restore its faith and hope, while celebrating Midnight Mass at St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest, to mark the Christmas holiday.[21]

I hope not. I don't want our Hungarian cancer to spread beyond our borders... Pope Francis was a breath of fresh air, at least for the none religious progressive types

This is what trans people in the UK were faced with yesterday in the Guardian alone.

at the bottom, you'll notice "About 3,164 results for Transgender"

This image contains text discussing the implications of legal definitions of sex on trans individuals. It criticizes how anti-trans activists can use such definitions to exclude trans people from public life. The example given involves a court ruling on a counseling session for female victims of sexual assault, where defining sex as "biological sex" would exclude trans women and potentially trans men, based on appearance or objections from others.

The UK Supreme Court endorsed segregating trans people entirely out of public life. They can exclude trans women from single sex spaces on the basis of sex and then exclude trans men on the basis of gender reassignment. Effectively, it allows the legal exclusion of trans people from public life.

"I know there are many trans and non-binary people who will be feeling deeply worried today, caught in the midst of a media storm as they try to simply live their lives. To those people, I say: please know that I stand with you - today, tomorrow and always. The Green Party continues to support a policy of self-ID to allow trans people to live full lives free from harassment in the gender they know themselves to be. The judge emphasised in his speech that trans people are still protected under the law, but it is for government to now demonstrate how this will be achieved. I will work closely with human rights and LGBTIQA+ groups to understand the consequences of this ruling, and will not hesitate to press for changes in legislation if it is needed to protect the human rights of all.” - Carla Denyer MP, Green Party Co-leader - MP Bristol Central

I know there are many trans and non-binary people who will be feeling deeply worried today, caught in the midst of a media storm as they try to simply live their lives. Please know that I stand with you - today, tomorrow and always.

My statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling today:

Increasingly, I'm thinking that the problem is too many techbros learned economics by playing Civ or Baldur's Gate.

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

I love being Hungarian. We have the best prime minister 🙃🔫

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Mind explaining? Are you saying we don't take energy sources seriously or are we too afraid to promote green energy sources to third world countries? I'd argue neither is true.

It was not capitalism, it was a public fear. Nuclear weapons, Chernobyl, Fukushima, etc. Unless you have a dictatorship, which has the "correct" take, you'd run into the same issues under any economic system.

⚡️ The United States is immediately lifting the pause on intelligence sharing and restoring security assistance to Ukraine, according to a joint statement following the meeting.

⚡️ ❗️ Ukraine has agreed to the US proposal for an immediate 30-day ceasefire, provided Russia complies.

You would be kneecapping smaller companies by forcing to not use algorithmic feeds. Same issues as repealing section 230 would bring. Large companies have the resources to comply with virtually anything, less so the smaller companies.

Even simple algorithms such as ordering posts by how many likes they got? I think it would be fair to put the burden of proof on thecompanies to prove their algorithms are "fair" and "unbiased", but this is a bit short sighted. Algorithmic feeds are good, they just be used for bad things.

They are sadists in the White House.

You just don't understand AI bro. Just cram that EcoFlow DELTA Pro Portable Power Station and a dozen GPUs in that backpack and bob's your uncle. On the move LLM, what more could a soldier need. Can't decide who to shoot? Just ask the LLM bro.

I've tried the auto-correct explanation, it falls completely flat. It seems clever, but I'm unconvinced that it has ever convinced someone or make them understand LLMs better or understand why their outputs shouldn't be taken as "truth".
