Bonus fucked

Just wait until they start serving ads for things that don’t exist and then throwing manufacturing together to make them on demand.

Going meta is always allowed. Just say you’re dumbing it down, that you don’t mean to be condescending, and invite them to interrupt if they already understand.

Why not?

The best way to read this screenshot is to keep the actual headline below the window and try to guess which thing it’s referring to.

It’s also 60", which is absurdly large to me lol. Glad I could help, though.

Ah, my bad. Sorry.

I have one. It’s 4k, which gave me some trouble from an Ubuntu media server, and the refresh rate is ~144, I believe. It cost me something like 300-400 USD.

Try a Spectre t.v. they’re made for digital signage. I got one and hooked it up to a media server.

So far pretty good. I’ve got a white trip today, it’s early in the morning, and I haven’t slept yet. But other than that okay.

It was a lame joke. Glad you figured it out.

Try not to reboot.

What if Karmala is raping and gets to an n-word

Although I laughed at the idea of Kamala Harris casually assaulting people, then drawing the line at black people, it’s “Rapping” not “raping”.

Now we’ve reached the point where you have a faction of the internet believing Vance actually had sectional relations…

Lol

Yeah, I’ve messed around with water sensors before. I just thought it would be neat to measure it via stress on the plant itself.

It would be really neat if someone made a sensor that could tell you whether your plant needs to be watered.

I disagree both with your characterization of my position as well as your assertion that it is “grotesque”.

Skin color and sex can be used as indicators for hidden, hard to ascertain traits. It may be racist to assume that the indicator perfectly predicts those traits, or that skin color and sex predict hidden traits when they do not, or to assume that sex and race cause the traits to occur when they don’t. But it’s not racist or sexist to make assumptions based on race or sex if there is a real correlation.

Sickle cell anemia is much more prevalent in blacks than in whites. It’s not racist to suggest that blacks should be tested at higher rates than other communities.

Women experience more sexual assault than men do, and the vast majority of the perpetrators are men. It’s not sexist to assume that a woman who is assaulted was likely assaulted by a man.

If we created some sort of viral genetically engineered cure for SCD tomorrow, race would stop being a predictor of that particular trait. If we found a way to bring male sexual assault down to the same rate as female sexual assault, continuing to assume the sex of a predator would be incorrect.

And obviously, in legal or scientific contexts, we need hard evidence of the underlying traits themselves rather than assumptions based on sex or race.

Assumptions of this sort can be racist or sexist when the person making them is motivated to come to a particular conclusion, but making assumptions is not inherently bigoted.

In the original scenario, the assumption is that a group of people of various sexes and races have had different life experiences. There are relatively few downsides to this assumption. If you’re wrong, then you’ve mistakenly formed a group that is slightly less “diverse” than you hoped for. The upside is that you don’t need a full biography from everyone involved in the group in order to promote diversity of experience and opinions.

To be clear, I find most manufactured diversity to be asinine, and I think that it can certainly be taken too far. That doesn’t mean that the actual assumption is incorrect.

Yes, of course many people are virtue signaling. But measuring true diversity of opinion and experience is difficult and time consuming, so people use race and sex as a proxy because it often does lead to diversity of opinion and experience.

Red lights don’t reflect the true state of an intersection, but when the light is red it is a bad idea to drive. Similarly, a group of men and women of several races may have all been raised in the same neighborhood, but it’s unlikely.

Thanks for the reply.

I didn’t intend to fully disprove their claim so much as point out that diversity of appearance is being used as a proxy for diversity of experience and views. Unless I’m missing something, I think you essentially re-stated and elaborated on what I was driving at.

Thank you. I’m not an expert on how accelerometers work, I’ve generally just used them in robotic and mobile applications.
