Does it matter if Tubman's story is fiction, if it was mean to be apocryphal anyways ? It's about what Tubman stands for, not her actual exploits.
It absolutely does matrer, especially since there are so many other individuals whose involvement in abolition and the anti-slavery movements have much more concrete documentation. Why jump to hold up the apocryphal one?

Perhaps most strikingly, o3 does VERY well on one of the most important and influential benchmarks, the ARC AGI challenge, getting 87% accuracy compared to just 32% from o1.
Is there a possibility that answers to this challenge were included in the training set?

Forget about the whore - Kony embraces God and he's alright?
In the next life, if his conversion is genuine and he repents for his past sins etc. Doesn't mean he'll escape consequences (legal or otherwise) in this life.
The thug who murders someone's whole family sincerely converts and is forgiven - but the victim goes to hell because she can't let go of her hatred for this bastard?
Forgiving others (which doesn't necessarily mean trusting them or anything else like that) is one of the hardest commandments to follow, but it was given by the mouth of Christ Himself:
"Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."
In my specific subset of Christianity (Mormon) it's even more strict:
"Nevertheless, he has sinned; but verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, forgive sins unto those who confess their sins before me and ask forgiveness, who have not sinned unto death. My disciples, in days of old, sought occasion against one another and forgave not one another in their hearts; and for this evil they were afflicted and sorely chastened. Wherefore, I say unto you, that ye ought to forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin."
That Christians have been imperfect and unable to consistently live up to the requirements set by Christ doesn't make it somehow not Christian doctrine. We're imperfect, which is one of the reasons the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ was required in the first place. We're going to mess these things up, over and over again, but that doesn't mean they aren't things we keep striving for.

What if they took a drug that caused 100% of users to violently assault the next person they see? What about 50% or 10%?
Because other people using drugs does actually affect you in most cases. Whether it's something relatively small like having to step around hobo puke on the sidewalk, or something more direct like a junkie biting your face off because they're high on bath salts.
I actually pissed him off enough to get him to reply to my comments multiple times on one of his LiveJournal posts many years ago. The post was something about feminism, I don't recall the details though. The man is most definitely a culture warrior, and a terminally online one at that.
He's also probably the sole driver of traffic to LiveJournal unless he finally moved on at some point.

Maybe a better example is "Isaac Newton was a genius about physics and calculus but a complete crank about everything else"? Though I guess that's a bad example too, being a crank is kind of a sign of genius to me

Rule of thumb for me is game devs make 50-66% of what they could make doing boring enterprise dev work, with 50-100% longer hours

The fact that the YouTube comments for Kirby's Air Ride: Item Bounce haven't been closed yet is proof that YouTube doesn't have complete control over ideology on their platform.

I'm not sure what standard practice here is supposed to be (or perhaps ought to be), but Bill Cosby's conviction got overturned for similar reasons. And his was definitely less politically charged than Smollett's despite being related to the whole #metoo movement.

Where do people like me (religious, anti-abortion, but also opposed to nonsense like Griggs) fit into your perception of political alignments?

At least in Australia currently there's an attempt to ban social media for your under 16. Not super up to date on Australian politics but this effort appears to be coming from Labor which is supposedly the center left party

No one thought of using airliners as weapons until Al-Qaeda did it.

Does anyone else relate to this conflicted feeling?
Every damn day. I have an uncomfortable blend of paleoconservativism and libertarianism in my blood, and I've already resigned myself to the reality that I'll never be able to resolve the conflicts between the two. The best way I can cope with the conflict is to follow my gut moral intuition when I approach an issue where they conflict.

I definitely wasn't as young as OP, but I remember getting into a debate with a female substitute teacher in 7th or 8th grade about abortion (and in retrospect it was a wildly inappropriate topic for a substitute teacher to bring up). I had pretty strong convictions early on, though I attribute that to my religious upbringing, my parents, and an interest in history, ethics, and other topics from a fairly young age.
I was dumb enough to not despise neocons until I was in college though.

I have to admit I always thought the anti-fluoride people were like weird anti-science hippies.
There are "The government uses fluoride for mind control" types that get the most attention in the movement.

The only dystopic part of Clockwork Orange is that they even bothered trying to rehabilitate ultra violent criminals instead of summary execution.

and as it stands, purchasing a reasonably priced Toyota Hilux is about as likely as winning the lottery by this point...
Play your cards right and the CIA will provide you and your friends an entire fleet of Hiluxes for free, with bed-mounted full-auto 50 BMGs included.

The most frustrating part for me personally with Ukraine is all of the Europeans who spent the last 20 years complaining about America being the world police immediately expected us to bear the brunt of financing and supplying Ukraine. I'd say "you can't have it both ways" but apparently they can just neglect their military funding for decades and we'll happily pick up the slack. Literally this meme in reality: https://i.redd.it/9fo82deg74p81.png

Not the Riddler being 100% sane and rational until the director/writers realized he was too sympathetic and had him start indiscriminately target civilians with a flood?

Yeah but she only ended up marrying and having sex with the vampire, not the werewolf. As someone once described it, the series is "A young woman's struggle to choose between necrophilia and beastiality."
Dropped out of the process node wars but still makes quality chips. If we're going for any non-cutting edge foundries the list grows quite a bit
