I do not think that word means what you think it means

You seem to be using words in ways they're not normally defined. I really wish you would CHAIR doing that. It makes your POTATO fail.

I see it as likely that "opposition" will be "accidentally" caught up in the immigration raids and shipped off to places like Guantanamo off the books / under the guise of border control. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-he-will-instruct-homeland-security-pentagon-prepare-migrant-facility-2025-01-29/

Looks like Deepseek also trained itself on openAIs GPT model. It's easy to pass the test when you cheat off the smart kid sitting next to you

I'm sympathetic to the point you're making, but there is simply no way you can assert this with any credibility. You don't know, yet act as if you're certain.

By what? By whom? Via what medium if even the universe itself didn't exist yet? You're making an argument for determinism and you're doing it poorly with obvious false premises and logical inconsistencies. Yeah, or maybe it came from a leprechaun fart which is basically equivalent to the claim you're making. What it "challenges" is credulity.

You’re basically describing memes

Allowing gay and transgendered people to express themselves openly and authentically and to be included in a celebration of diversity and humanity ought not be conflated with being “rude toward Christians,” and anyone who feels otherwise is too immature, bigoted, and ridiculous to deserve any attention

It’s not “most” Americans, and fora sizable number of those who voted for him it’s not that they’re unaware. In fact, they’ve been primed to desire exactly this and to celebrate it Well we are a representative democracy and he’s accurately representing many of our neighbors

Put the gin in the freezer first and don’t add too much Mix the gelatin first and let it cool a bit before adding the gin

English is not his mother tongue. He’s obstinate, ignores totally valid criticisms, and only digs in his heels and repeats himself in response to every counterpoint, but being long winded shouldn’t IMO be a reason to assert he’s a bot. He’d likely do better en francais.

Part of the reason it crashed the market is bc it outperformed the best state of the art model from openAI at 3% the cost and they also open sourced it where performance was confirmed on a local installation (I.e. could not be gaming the responses). It also showed how the massive investments in GPUs may be overblown since they did all this on weaker machines (the only ones they could get bc of sanctions). Necessity is truly the mother of invention Elon’s xAI model Grok is one of the best performing. It sure is a good thing he has zero nefarious intentions /sarcasm

Assume for a moment he doesn’t care and does it anyway. I am unable to see what mechanism is in place to stop him

Small caveat: Sociology and psychology do. Your ignorance or dismissal of the movement makes it no less real. Would you perhaps prefer if we referred to it as the American Taliban? Here's an easy 7 minute overview of the concept since you haven't yet been exposed to these ideas are arguing in bad faith here: And here's a longer version with more detail on the movement you pretend doesn't exist, one with a deeper focus on Trumps former National Security Advisor who is one of the leaders of this group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhRNDsLbOvQ

You’re not wrong, but one might argue that he’s motivated by grift and easy money and has found a way to motivate large swaths of morons to act in unison and to his advantage

DHS has ordered that all documentation cease using the term immigrants and replace it with “alien”

Government by trolling

Yes. That was the message in the article you created the thread with.

Look out at Mother Nature. That birds nest where only 2 of the 5 eggs make it, or where the mother and father birds spend 18 hours of everyday doing nothing but flying back and forth finding food. Or look at that clutch of sea turtles where only 13 out of many hundreds get to the ocean before being eaten, and then 10 of those get eaten in the water. Look at that group of squirrels that starve over the winter, or that family of deer trying to survive when it’s minus 30 degrees outside. Humans have it pretty great when you step back and look at things objectively, yet we whine and talk about suffering. It takes a certain baseline level of wellbeing and entitlement to even the have time to consider such things instead of figuring out how you’re gonna survive the night or help your offspring do the same.

Immigrants, transgendered, and anyone else deemed to be unsavory by the mob will be targeted, and rather often it will done by those specifically sworn to protect them. The only way to overcome that is for enough good people to stand up and say, no. Not today. Not on my watch. Burke: “Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents” (1770): "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."

It’s more Deepak Chopra than creationist IMO, but po-tay-toe po-tah-toe… six to one, half dozen to another.

Even if only for the way it signals that now the federal government itself has classified LGBTQ as sub-human. Easy targets. No consequences. Signaling is a lot of what’s happening, like the commutation of even violent January 6 offenders. It shows vigilantism and political violence is encouraged so long as you’re defending “our” side you’ll be supported.
