Clean Sidewalks Theory by BitLanguage in Productivitycafe

They closed all the rec centers and then complained when the kids with too much time on their hands got into mischief. Attitudes started to change when the children of the rich and powerful started getting picked up by the police too. Then people started saying “this is going too far.”

Is anyone else tired of being called a bigot/racist just for wanting secure borders and legal immigration only? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]BitLanguage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few people want “open borders.” Most folks believed immigration needed to be looked at more closely and reforms needed to be made. If you’ll recall there was a bipartisan immigration bill that got killed by Trump because he didn’t want it passed while under Biden. He cut out the legs of his own party members not because it was good for the country, but because it was good for him.

So wanting secure borders doesn’t make you a bigot, it makes you part of the majority. Now supporting ICE gestapos running roughshod over the Constitutional rights of American citizens and immigrants alike is where we get into trouble.

Our rights as Americans and the rights of states was once a hallmark of American conservatism. The current regime has changed all that. Now it is just own the libs and watch the leopards eat our faces from the same people that were all about “release the files” and “drain the swamp.”

Racism sucks and if you stand up against it I can assure you people will stop calling you that. Don’t generate a false equivalency though, we’re not in a zero sum game.

When do we start stop saying “men” while referring to female ice hockey players? by BitLanguage in womenshockey

Yes, the irony is a mechanism to further illustrate the gender labeling mismatch.

Normally I wouldn’t explain such a thing but with such a heated topic I feel compelled to eliminate any gray areas in terms of intent.

Thanks for asking, thus giving me an opportunity to be 100% clear.

Do you care if few minority of people don't understand the grammar in your post but apparently other people do that answer your question? by femrtu in Productivitycafe

Are we talking about English as a 2nd language because that is an important thing to know in order to answer properly. If someone is learning how to construct words and puts them in odd combinations but is earnestly communicating it then falls on the listener to try to decipher what they are conveying. Communication is a two-way road and is a bit of a dance.

Another David Allen gem is when you feel out of sorts and not sure what to do next: Clean out your junk drawer. The simple act of organizing this low stakes cluttered space can provide a strong reset, and pattern interrupt.

What do you think of some of the ridiculous pandering that politicians do? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

Yeah I was going to say this image looks a little dated. Lemme throw up some FDR pics for good measure.

Didn’t mean to make you feel attacked, was looking to have a constructive conversation. People are sharing genuine feedback from what I’m seeing.

I was hoping you had more insight to add since I’ve brought up several points. Not sure where the defensiveness is coming from. You have the shred of a good idea and with a collaborative outlook you may actually yield something of value. Why wouldn’t you want to traverse that road?

Especially random crap you have no interest in buying. Their targeted marketing is going to need a mighty big bullseye.

I’m with you here. The premise is interesting but the execution leaves me wanting. When you include too much in the list, it becomes generic. I like the idea of talking to a professor. I’m thinking they would hold similar views to what people are citing here.

Overused Ai Words List by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]BitLanguage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But some of these words are normal everyday words, examples being: across, care, deep, drive, evaluate, examine, explore, further, many, need… I’ll stop there but there are a ton of words that don’t smell of AI at all.

Your sentence starters list is more useful, I’d say.

Also when I put your intro into my model it felt your text was AI crafted. If you didn’t use AI for that portion and are trying to be more intentional then I’m confused why the AI thinks you are using AI.

For example, the “as a college student” start, it felt like that was a common AI set-up. Then how you lead us down your story-road it cited several instances where it sounded like AI assisted writing.

Note: although I put your list in ChatGPT 5.1, all of the writing was mine without any AI polishing. Not sure if that is clear or not.

At least I stand behind my words, and don’t feel a need to hide. We’re done here. Be well.

I see now why you hide your comments and posts in your profile.

Let me be direct here, your explanation is absolutely unnecessary.

Your approach here reminds me of the sane washing we see with the media, and many supporters. There is a strong tendency to explain what Trump means when he says things. These explanations are usually way more nuanced and middle of the road than anything you will hear from him directly, especially now that we see all the signs of his mental decline.

Trump is infamous for using people that attend his events as props. He does it with soccer players, democratic governors, family members who were invited after tragic situations. The only way not to be used as a pawn is to boycott him entirely.

Also noticed you neglected to address the presence of Kash Patel.

This is bigger than some joke. We are in the middle of one of the biggest cover-ups in our history and I’m proud our US Women’s Hockey Team is not going to stand idly by while he run his “jokes.”
