Quick note on the trump impressions: he thinks the word is ‘unpresidented’

Yes but in this case there was not even an attempt worth worrying about

His ego couldn’t take the mockery. Hence the 22 cry-laughing emojis when he was actually seething

Prior to that incident, he had served two months in detention in South Korea on charges that he had assaulted two people and kicked a police car.

He did so many insane things but they still found time to tell us about him kicking a police car

He didn’t study at MIT. He studied at UPenn and lied about having graduated from there two years earlier than he did, for some reason

Except the people who are opposed to Imane Khalief are not engaged in a good faith argument about gender not being binary and what a woman even is. They’re trying to impose a binary by saying a woman has to conform to our standards.

Look at how they’ve targeted female rugby players and boxers who have ‘less feminine’ features in their conception by accusing them of secretly being trans women. It’s all about appearances because these women dared to be strong while having strong facial bone definition

Okay but then would you put Michael Phelps in his own category for having:

• The torso of a 6’8 man and the legs of a 6’0 man, giving him a disproportionately large chest and less leg drag in the water
• A wingspan that’s longer than his own height (his arms stretch to 6’7!), something so freakish and concerning that he thought he might have a disease at one point in his life
• Double-jointed elbows, chest and feet that are basically flippers because of how much he can bend them

Or do you just accept that some people are extraordinary and that a Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps or [insert female athlete with unusual physical characteristics] can come along once a generation and dominate a sport because they were born to do so?

Who said anything about women fighting men??

It’s totally fine to be interested in these things. Where it gets murky is when people say things like: women with too much testosterone are too good and should take drugs to block their natural testosterone levels. Just because someone is at that 1% advantage level doesn’t mean we should stop them from competing. If anything we should let them cook so we can see what the upper limits of human potential could be

We’re talking about a cis woman who was born in Algeria, where gender reassignment is not a recognised practice. She is not trans, regardless of what chromosomes she has.

This weird obsession with female athletes who have too much testosterone or a Y chromosome being in some way at an unfair advantage is also absurd. Male athletes who are genetic freaks are just recognised as extraordinary for their height, wingspan or lung capacity. The same should go for women

But does that auto accept cookies like many of these other anti cookie banner extensions?

Vox did a video about 8 years ago on this happening.

I think pop music frequently pulls from more esoteric influences. It’s almost inevitable because the people who produce music are music fans themselves

Pretty sure this guy just runs around Lemmy trying to stir things up. I had a run-in with him recently that was needless contentious and I’m not surprised to see him doing the same thing here

The point is not that we can’t imagine speculative technologies. The point is that this is a grift which distracts from the real and present threat of AI like the threats to privacy, artists’ livelihoods and the internet itself which is being poisoned by LLM generated content

I don’t think he plans on delivering much product at all

Well good news. If the product you’re imagining is ‘Skynet’ or a ‘god-mommy’ both of those are science fiction and we don’t need whatever this bullshit is to save us

Possibly the most obtuse person I’ve encountered on Lemmy

I think we need regulation, that doesn’t make me a person who irrationally hates children skateboarding.

Also skateboarding hasn’t led to and been complicit in genocide on two continents, but social media has in Asia and Africa. If it had, maybe you’d see people writing op-eds about that instead of social media companies that value profits more than human life

It’s extremely low of anyone to make to distressing news about a public death. These people might be famous, but they have families and friends whose heart will sink when they see this news. Not to mention the members of the public who will be shocked by this

The sad thing is he will probably die soon and we will be hit even harder because or this

Should’ve known from how much he paid for that suede jacket

I believe OP is referring to the fact that she comes from a billionaire family
