Love and welcome the clarifications - Couldn’t agree more

There’s definitely a difference between the people proposing such things (a minority) and their followers:

The minority definitely seem get caught with their pants down more often, usually with a rent-boy and a bag of meth. Totally get that maybe this is about “forbidden fruit”

But the rest? Definitely due lack of education and religion (which usually follows the former).

Now, for the most part, the poor southerners I’ve met really don’t care about homosexuality when you talk to them alone. In bigger groups, it’s definitely a problem. How you fix this, I definitely don’t know, but it is definitely not by victimizing.

Unfortunately, the minority have created other “cognitive barriers” to prevent the poor from realizing what their actual challenges are - Immigrants is another good example.

In short, this is just another form of class warfare.

Don’t forget the press release they can also make saying how nice they are for donating, too…

Have tried it a few times. It is an interesting concept, but yields utter crap that will break and your LLM cannot help you with.

In normal projects, that’s where a junior dev says “Maybe we need to start again” and all the seniors start looking for work elsewhere

As other’s have mentioned, it’s what the Nazi’s did.

It’s the whole cycle of violence thing. The Nazi’s did it to the Jews, who were less powerful than them. And now the Jews are passing it along to a people that are less powerful than they are.

Jews have long been proud of their tradition of questioning and reasoning. What I want to hear is Netanyahu in court explaining why his government did this. And it has to be more than a “they did it first” argument.

Should be the case for literally any interaction with a chatbot.

The Canadian border (where I live) has signs literally everywhere stating you cannot cross the border with a gun. I just assumed it was the same everywhere. Color me stupid…

I didn’t realize that was possible…

Is that what the second amendment says? I thought it was the right of citizens to bear arms.

Not sure how that would be related to sending the guns to Mexico?

Also, not an American and clearly not a constitutional lawyer…

As a Brit, came here for say that, for once, we appear to be doing the right thing.

Autodefenestration is one of my faves. The act of throwing yourself out of a window.

If you’re throwing someone or something out, then it’s just plain defenestration

Only if you agree to stop calling them Hashtags and use their more-correct name of Octothorpes

I swear on my Commodore 64 I looked and found nothing.

You are clearly better at this than me, and thank you!

The answer (to me) is a resounding yes. I firmly believe that belief in the Supernatural is in-built into all of us. It’s an off-shoot of us being incredibly good at pattern matching combined with our need for parental guidance for so long and a fear of death -

To get past this, we need two things: A personal willingness to ask questions and follow the answers (which is a basic description of science) and we need a society that is willing to embrace these individuals.

That we aren’t quite there yet means we end up with leaders embracing religion, which is reinforced by the masses accepting their dogma. The whole thing about “religion creating morality” is BS and just another form of dogma.

It may be entirely simplistic, and it probably puts too much faith in human capacity, but I think we could move in that direction if we just prioritized learning and inquisitiveness. Note, this is not the same as making people go to college. Learning is a life skill…

40 months is slightly less the six years in the same way my pay check is slightly less than my CEOs

I don’t know what the hate is unless you are trying to store time as a String property. There a special place in hell for all developers who do this.

IMHO, all you really need to know is an Epoch time stamp and whether it’s localized to the viewer or the creator… Not that complex. The problem with time zones is that politicians keep changing them

Honestly, I’d rather give the creator of NULL a slap.
