Imagine equivocating the Taliban and Muslims in general.

Didn’t assume I was, but still, you’re a good person and I didn’t wanna hurt u (see, it’s infectious)

That comment wasn’t an entirely earnest defense ^^

Hey hey, the Barnacle never tortured a woman. He just gaslighted them severely and caused irreparable harm to their mental state, but never physically tortured them.

Aww man, I am sorry if I came across as mean the other day.

And I am still conflicted. On the one hand, now every smorty post is instantly readable, on the other hand, now smorty is sad :/

AI is never objective. It’s always influenced by its training set and its parameters. What data is it going to analyse? Where does that data come from? And even if it were: choosing to write about one thing instead of another is also bias.

Humans are also never objective. Which is good. I’d rather know the biases of the author instead of some fake objectivity.

DO IT! DON’T LET YOUR MEMES BE DREAMS! DOOOOOO IIIIIIITTTTTTTTT

They had. Couple of months ago.

One more case of “etymology is definition”. A lipophobic substance doesn’t fear fat, it is repulsed.

“Phobia” describing bigotry is not the “phobia” in things like arachnophobia.

A 60% compromise!

Queer, we’ve met a couple of times on this platform. We both know you would not extend the same benefit of the doubt to, say, the forces perpetrating the 1968 Orangeburg massacre. They too allowed people to be treated by hospitals. They too allowed protesters to be rushed to safety after being shot. Hell, they even took them there themselves.

So why would we do that to the military?

Actually, I am. Thank you, smorty.

Smorty, no hate, but every time I read one of your texts, I am glad the oughts are over.

I had a friend who believed in that. She tried to explain to my then GF how her having a symmetrical face means she’s definitely a Libra.

Now, I loved her to bits but my ex-partner did not have a symmetrical face. Few people have. But apparently the way stars aligned on her birthday meant she must have one, so that friend insisted on it.

This isn’t reason or just a different jargon. This is woo-woo. Sitting down everyday, trying to manifest a leading role in a famous TV show but doing nothing else to get this because “manifestation will do its thing” isn’t jargon.

That friend was someone I got along with. Because she did not try to convince me that vaccines are evil and instead I should just do a spirit cleanse. Like others tried to. This “jargon” is accompanied by fundamentally different ideas about how and why things happen and can lead to anti-scientism.

Lastly, yes, I consider sound healing bogus. The idea that frequencies alone can heal serious injuries is dumb. The difference between acknowledging that vibrations picked up by the brain can assist in a healing process and the idea that this can somehow replace any other treatment is fundamentally unreasonable.

She also has a very funny article about how Stalin is a God of Science

DEI wife.

Annihilating an entire planet is fine as long as there is order?

Exhibit A of “bigotry is totally funny if we don’t like the victim”

He got medical attention not from the military, but because other protesters rushed him to a hospital.
