1950, not 1960. A quibble, but worth noting.

Excellent. Because trying to work with them over the last 40 years has gone so well?

' ...Elliott Hinkle... [said] what Mace calls assault was "a normal handshake and interaction that I would expect any legislator to expect from anyone as a constituent."
The outlet cited two anonymous witnesses who confirmed Hinkle's version of events. '

What would it mean for them to figuratively wait?

Anyone choosing to believe anything he says has to work hard to ignore the reality of his entire history. When someone lies every day, about everything, for their entire life, there is no art to it. It takes effort to pretend he is not lying.

They created the narrative, but they did not force anyone to embrace it. Anyone who embraces it has plenty of access to other, legitimate narratives. So, those who embrace this one choose to. They are the problem. Those creating the false narrative are the symptom.

By reposting, you increased its visibility and the algorithm's assessment of its popularity.
Alas, so has my responding to your posting.
It's not as if anything he posts is actually newsworthy. Really. Everything he says, he's said before. And if he does say something new, it isn't really new.

Oh, I think there is a legitimate concern, with the place we fled from providing ample evidence. It's just that it's so difficult to talk about differences and constraints in ways that are substantive, constructive, and not... manipulative.

Worse is the underlying reality that your own post is a form of manipulation. One with good intentions, but still...

It is long-past time to stop trying to trivialize the guy. It's not that you are wrong in factual terms, it's that it doesn't matter.
He's elected. THEY now have virtually complete control of very part of the government.
That's what matters.

If you are waiting for this to happen on Jan 20, then you have not been paying attention for the last 20-30 years. Jan 20 is just a celebratory milestone, not the creation of the change.

Wow. A movie titled Part 1 really is only one-half of the story? What a surprise!

Good to note the new 'signal', because gosh, there weren't any signals before this. Always glad to see strong announcement of (very) old news.

Early 1970s, UCLA psych class. Prof always had transvestite woman as guest. This year he also had transgender man; being a guest was last stage of the process for him. Woman had horror story, but was unpleasant. Guy was a delight. 200-300 students reacted to behavior, not appearance or history.

Discount zombie perspectives that easily and who knows what other group will be discounted next?

I am now concerned that they will not be prosecuting people hiding migrants in red states.

Since the burners never claim no one is reading them, the premise is wrong. A different question is why the burners want to make the books more interesting?

Sorry. No. Most often it is an accident.

It is a form of reaction. We seem able to get addicted to almost anything that creates a reaction. And CG is not nearly as off-putting as a co-dependent, hyper-critical partner...

I'm skirting the term empathy rather than fully excluding it. My goal is on clear utility rather than the squishier aspects that empathy often is used to imply.
That said, sometimes it's not about the nail.

Consider: empathy is largely about the perceiver's ability to share the other's sense or experience. It's helpful because it can be powerful. But for decision making, I think the cognitive processing of the other person's situation and needs and choices are more important.

Hmm. What do you mean by empathy?
comment in response to
post
When making a decision, take a close look at how 'empathy' comes into play for you. Then consider whether it is different from assessment fairness, utility, and similar pragmatics.

yes. Also, the main purpose of choosing marginalized groups to attack is to distract and excite the population with a dangerous enemy. And China is his current, favorite enemy.

Caring is good for motivation, but often bad for analysis and decision-making. Things like 'fairness' and 'accurate assessment' and 'knowledge' are more important for making decisions.

Empathy? So along with everything else, the rest of us have to starting worrying about how an AI feels?
