I should say, a same way to make more steel.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, if we want to make more steal in the US it either needs subsidizies or we need to find a way to automate more of the work (which would mean fewer jobs in it).
comment in response to
post
A lot of people also don't understand also that even if we had manufacturing go way up in the US (and it was done in a rational way), it just isn't going to make as many jobs as they think. Not unless we all pay higher prices. It would require ever higher levels of automation to stay competitive.

I tried explaining to someone they prices went up when the 2018 tariffs happened and it cost jobs and they just refused to believe it. I think this was before the election.

I said this in the past tense, and we should also remember that people are still dying and the numbers are only going to get worse.

Let's remember that Musk killed a lot of people, including children, with DOGE.

Yep. It's a disgrace.

For what it's worth, they likely already think women are inferior to them anyway, so perhaps it's not as big a leap in their minds. Maybe they even tell themselves they're doing the person a favor. I don't know.
It's definitely as deranged as their worldview.

Ran into a white supremacist who was married to a Black woman once. Told himself it was ok if he just didn't talk about it in front of the kids.
A lot of guys like this don't really have a lot of women to choose from, I think, and they just need to find someone dumb/desperate enough to go for it.

A lot of them like this purposefully were incredibly irresponsible and just didn't care.

I remember encountering this nonsense maybe 10 years ago. The crime data didn't back it up then either. Looking forward to watching the video.

Is that really up for debate? Really?

Samwise was wandering the house last night calling out and checking out hiding spots -- looking for Ares, most likely.

We've had a rash of medical issues over the last 9 months. Both my wife and 3 different cats. Last night we found blood in Sebastian's eyes (I'd guess hypertension given his kidney disease but we're making an appointment tomorrow to get it checked out).
comment in response to
post
He got diagnosed with chylothorax. It's rare and surgery is expensive and only maybe successful. It was idiopathic; cause unknown, which is usually the case in cats. Just too little research.

This sort of absurd reasoning has become a hallmark of this court.

That's not how our rights work or how education works.

I keep meaning to check it out but the dread the first two movies put in me for another film keep holding me back.

Heck, my wife and I decided not to shop there anymore when they gave in to anti-LGBTQ+ hate. And they've only proved again and again that was the right call.

Pretty sure they were saying Republicans want to kill young people.

Trump wants to dictate reality. Doesn't matter what they do. You have to constantly appease him and make them look good.
Walmart abandoned DEI for Trump and is terrible. Doesn't matter because Trump wants tariffs to make him look good.

Can't get rid of bad output or make it output in any precise way.
And it's hard not to anthropomorphize LLMs, but we should also avoid doing that as much as possible.
comment in response to
post
This is also evidence that we can't really control how these LLM bots work. We similarly can't get rid of the racism and bigotry they pick up from training data.

I should say *merely* consistent (and well-worded) questions.

It's a crazy way to talk about people having health insurance

It's not going to pass the Senate though unless they get rid of the filibuster.
comment in response to
post
These sorts of things need to be done more. Consistent questions don't tell a lot about what people really think in a world with this much misinformation and people not paying attention.
Good job here.

Medicaid is also for low paid workers and for people who are disabled and work.

I don't think this will hold up in court

After all the horrible behavior of Channel Awesome and the Nostalgia critic came out several years ago, I've avoiding watching anything he's involved in. I do watch Linkara and a number other of people who used to work with him.

Are you actively trying to misinform people or are you efforts to be 'neutral' just so extremely that you have to misinform people to maintain 'neutrality'?
comment in response to
post
You're literally referring to a Supreme Court decision on a singular bribery statute that was widely panned for allowing corruption and then acting like the only real corruption has to be bribery that fits that.
comment in response to
post
That's not true and the fact the NYT can't call any of the massive corruption going on corruption is why you fail America.
comment in response to
post
Plus the 2016 SC decision reading the statute so narrowly was 6-3 and widely panned for legalizing a lot of corruption.
comment in response to
post
And that not being illegal doesn't make it ok.
comment in response to
post
Not all corruption is explicitly illegal in any case.
comment in response to
post
Looking it up since my memory was fuzzy, that was about a bribery law. Still a bad decision.

NYT acting like it isn't corrupt for Trump to sell access to himself it otherwise profit off the presidency while he's President when it absolutely is
comment in response to
post
The modern Supreme Court decided illegal corruption requires explicit quid pro quo in one of their worst rulings. But that's not the same as corruption in general.

It's probably one reason why it's been targeted.

UA is still extremely white compared to Columbus. It's over 80% White though and less than 1% Black. There's a lot of racism in it's history but people don't talk about it much.

I went to UA. Crazy.
