I was about to agree with you but I reread it. Women is used as well, and the sentence that uses females is about their biology not choice.

Still not accepting the argument about the implication on men’s coding though.

I technically agree with this. If it came down to making laws about this or that, body autonomy takes priority. But I don’t think that should preclude discussion about an individual’s motivation for the modification, and whether it is healthy.

So dumb. Even if they are over represented what then? Like further oppression and alienation is going to help. But anyway thanks for clarifying.

I’m confused about the back and forth about shooters. An audience member said five for transgender shooters (the numerator), then asked Kirk how many mass shooters total (the denominator)?

So the audience member was trying to disagree with Kirk to suggest the transgender shooters are a small proportion?

And the Kirk comes back with the gang violence question to suggest what?

I’m genuinely confused here, no agenda, just literally don’t understand the transcript.

Haha this is right in the middle of the spectrum between Comic Sans and Simpsons.

My Mac is supposed to be the safe box too. I keep having to talk myself down from installing Asahi.

Urge to distro hop again…rising…

Wait did you actually tip it and break it? That’s awesome I want to know this spite story is true.

I laughed so hard at this. Always love getting another take on the absurdity of treating the Bible as immutable knowledge.

It’s the tweet equivalent of comedic timing.

You pick it up by the twine and apply the ol’ hectoNewton metre.

Is this a righty tax since they are forced to buy a higher minimum quantity?

I can’t even get past Donald’s statement which is absurd to me. What actually has “intrinsic value [in the] universe” and what difference does it make if my experiences are “intrinsically valuable” or not?

lol finally a balance to https://www.conservapedia.com/

I haven’t decided yet where I am on the spectrum between “zero obligation to work = utopia” and “humans need to have something to do”. But you made me chuckle sardonically at the realization that people living off dividends and interest are functionally the same as a welfare queen.

I’m just brainstorming here, but do layoffs pave the way for hiring new grads at entry level wages, with more cutting edge knowledge?

Sure, that overlooks the loss of tacit knowledge that keeps the company running. I haven’t actually figured out yet how large companies can keep packaging out their senior employees that glue their disorganized systems together with undocumented knowledge.

Agreed. I participate as a thoughtless investor trying to maximize the growth of my savings but I hate that I have to even bother. Extra work, some guilt or anxiety around whether you made the right choices, and more complicated taxes. I think it’s horseshit that I’m effectively obliged to play in this casino the ruling class set up, just so my money retains its value against inflation.

I’m not against my money being used to grow businesses. But then just let the bank deal with it and pay me a fair interest rate for lending it to businesses. I still haven’t been given a good answer as to why the stock price of a company should have any effect on its day to day operations or revenue generation.

I take your point that tech advancement without social progress can go awry. Automation replacing jobs at too rapid a pace feels like a very real threat to me right now. Maybe I’m biased by the last century where tech either lessened inequality or at least raised the standard of living for everyone, even if disproportionately applied across the population.

But yeah since tech advancement is accelerating, it seems more likely society will be unable to keep up.

I think it’d be more than incremental. Any place used use copper could likely have the gold upgrade. That’s all your wiring in your house and the EV market, maybe plumbing, heat pumps, and electronics too.

The headache would be all the power grabs (durrr it landed near my country so it’s mine) and the capitalist machine taking forever for the means of manufacturing to lower the cost of finished goods via genuine competition.

Yeah somehow that got worse over time. I remember one version actually let you select multiple windows in the taskbar and choose to horizontally or vertically tile, and if you knew the magic sequence, you could do it for just two not all.
