"The map is not the territory."  OP's point is that they aren't going to dispute your label of "Nazi".  You are attempting to change their behavior by extending the label of "Nazi" to cover them and in doing so tar their behavior by association with "Nazis".  They are saying they would rather accept the label than change their behavior to suit you.  You are now doubling down on the shaming attempt by trying to reinterpret this as a move towards the more agreed upon definition of the label rather than the refusal to bow to your shady tactics it is.

No we haven't.  I've been on a number of government projects cancelled due to budget overruns.  You just don't hear about them because there's no incentive to report on them.

Most people think rape, murder, torture, and genocide are genuinely wrong.




Of course, most people also disagree on the exact definitions of these terms, so there isn't true consensus on their "wrongness".

No idea who this is (other than a Google search telling me she's some kind of reincarnated moe light novel character) but that's some real "She's actually a thousand-year-old dragon" energy.




Do you know what the word "prepubescent" means?  It is not a synonym for "child".  It specifically refers to someone who has not yet started puberty.  Misuzu Kamio is canonically 16-17, ~5'2", with a prominent hour-glass figure indicating fully-developed secondary sexual characteristics.  Is she a child?  Yes, she is a teenager, which is considered a child by most modern people.  She is clearly not prepubescent.

No, the cis women sit back and let their knights do the fighting for them, as women have always done.  You are too focused on the puppets to notice the puppeteers.

The TERF fight is between two camps of cis women: those who feel their intra-gender status is threatened by trans women and those who feel their intra-gender status is reinforced by them.  As with all feminine competition, the visible topic is just a facade for the real conflict.

Stripping all government workers of the right to vote in relevant elections would likely improve any Western democracy significantly.




That would be pointless, as they'd simply become government contractors with the same incentives.  Besides, it's less the individual workers and more their unions (and similarly, NGOs) that enable small organized groups to wrest control of their collective power.

The restriction on foreign nationals is pretty routine for contractors working national-security related contracts, so it seems a lot more likely it was just included as part of the "standard restrictions" rather than something Trump specifically put in to fool people.

I still have no fucking clue what skills are supposed to be. They just look like extra prompts that hypnotize an LLM into believing it can do shit.




The key with skills is that they are conditional, so you can inject those additional prompts into the context window only when the skill is used rather than having them always around.  This lets you write smaller generalized prompts for agents, which in turn improves the output of those agents by keeping them focused on the task at hand and not distracted by instructions unnecessary for the current task.

What do you mean wait?  Though given the unrealistic emotional standards such chatbots provide in "partners", I'm not sure it really makes much difference if there's an AI-generated image of "him" too.

Okay, then adults stealing from one another don't need society to step in. Legalize stealing? It's not like the one spouse consents when the other cheats.




Adults cheating is at most a contract violation, which unlike stealing would be a civil offense rather than a criminal one.  Your partner doesn't require your consent to have sex with someone other than you.

No, children are unable to consent to sex with adults.  There is often a lower cutoff for sex with peers, but not adults.

An adult woman can't have consensual sex with an underage boy by definition.  Adults cheating on one another don't need society to step in.  Adults fucking kids do.

Of course, in practice the concept of "toxic masculinity" is usually limited to just those expressions of masculine gender roles that the analyst finds toxic rather than those the men they are addressing do.  Which conveniently allows them to lock men into "always playing the hero and hiding their human vulnerability and complaints" while claiming not to.  EDIT: The goal of those who talk about "toxic masculinity" is never to liberate men, but to coerce them into behavior more beneficial to the speaker.

That would only make sense if you view trust as a binary.  Typical usage treats it instead as a spectrum, with healthy relationships requiring less verification for the same level of risk.

Remember the context here is putting your name on a birth certificate, something done immediately after giving birth.  How exactly would a coma or head trauma lead you to incorrectly believe yourself to be the mother in such a case without a massive case of medical malpractice?

Not when it comes to legally binding documents.  "Trust, but verify" is the way healthy relationships work.  "Trust, but don't you dare verify" is the way abusive ones work.

Men and women stand equal in their lack of natural guarantees about faithfulness, but not in their guarantees about parentage: you can present him with a child and falsely claim it is his.  He can't present you with a child and falsely claim it is yours.

The men at the top were more vulnerable to the men at the bottom in the past, necessitating those at the top making concessions to other men in addition to "wooing" women.  Male coordination weakens as that vulnerability is eliminated by technological and social changes.
