Reality dictates that when having collected wood for a fire, we need to put some effort to light the wood up.

Anime teaches us that the pile of wood will self-ignite and that there is no effort needed from our part to light it up.

If we follow anime in real life, we will end up making the mistake of not preparing a lighter when we intend to light fires.

Do you guys follow what I’m trying to say?

Does she like to ride horses too?

Is this like the ultimate consumer product?

Morality schmorality, we need universal healthcare, daycare, a progressive tax system, and much more. Once society is equitable to all, then all have equal opportunity to behave “morally.”

All of these things are maintained by humans. There is no perfect structure that can keep everyone “locked” to act in favor of the structure, whether it is through surveillance, bureaucracy or punishments. In any system, a subset of the participants will at some point have leeway to put a small dent to the system. Some systems are more resistant to self-destruction than others, but none are immune to it due to our inherent ability to choose between right and wrong. Therefore, evil systems can always be defeated, and good systems can always fall.

He’s financially incentivized to align himself with the political agendas of Israel. This is reflected by his politics and support of Israel with money and weapons, regardless of its genocide in Palestine. He’s stealing taxmoney and giving it to Israel so that they can genocide Palestinians.

That’s enough to denounce him.

That’s really good news!

His financial incentives backs it up. https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=S

Biden has received at least $4,261,010 from Israeli lobbying.

I feel that there is an underlying moral problem in society that causes the rich to always exploit the poor. It feels like if you were to shuffle people around and pick a new set of rich people, said people would be almost equally likely to screw over their fellow man. If society was more moral in general, this exploitation would be reduced.

I don’t want to say “I told you so”, but I told you so.

Interesting quotes:

At the request of the English National Health Service, the senior pediatrician Hilary Cass has completed the most thorough consideration yet of this field, and her report calmly and carefully demolishes many common activist tropes. Puberty blockers do have side effects, Cass found. The evidence base for widely used treatments is “shaky.” Their safety and effectiveness are not settled science.

…

We also don’t have strong evidence that social transitioning, such as changing names or pronouns, affects adolescents’ mental-health outcomes (either positively or negatively). We don’t have strong evidence that puberty blockers are merely a pause button, or that their benefits outweigh their downsides, or that they are lifesaving care in the sense that they prevent suicides.

…

We don’t know why the number of children turning up at gender clinics rose so dramatically during the 2010s, or why the demographics of those children changed from a majority of biological males to a majority of biological females.

…

Medicalized gender treatments for minors became wrapped up with a push for wider social acceptance for transgender people, something that was presented as the “next frontier in civil rights,” as Time magazine once described it. Any questions about such care were therefore read as stemming from transphobic hostility, full stop.

Unfortunately, it’s not as established as telephony. Everyone that uses Signal has a phone number, but everyone that has a phone number doesn’t necessarily use Signal. This is especially true if you need to contact service.

Don’t bother doing this test. They ask for money to show your result once you’re done.

No, but they make my male lizard brain fire up. So I feel the need to provide engagement by updooting and leaving a silly comment.

Omg, woman showing skin! Updoot!

Learn to solve problems using programming. Go learn Python. Stick with the basics and have fun. If you start worrying about losing older versions of your code, learn Git. Grow from there.

Kubernetes? Microservices? Cloud platform? These are all distractions and a waste of your time.

If the AI software is on-premises/offline or completely turned off by default. Anything else is espionage.

Ideally, consider using open-source software if possible to avoid potential bait-and-switches. But understandably, this is not always a practical option.

I hope governments around the world punish this kind of espionage by publicly banning these “AI assisted” products in government organizations for being a (national) security threat. Their PR needs to be in the dirt.
