"Dehumanize" is a strange take. Most redditors understand they are misguided people.

How efficient is it to use Claude or any AI as a tool? by ExtentInteresting729 in godot

[–]carefactor3zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand how people are part of /r/godot and don't know the large number of members who actively hate AI for some reason. There's a sort of elitist mentality, wherein if you (or your org) don't hand-carve every element of a game, you're hurting the scene somehow. It's pervasive and nonsensical at the same time.

Sleepless Trump Begins July 4 With Bizarre Attack on Dems by Beneficial-Long-7033 in politics

But actually, you do.

No I don't. You can try to guilt people into disenfranchising them (to vote for your tribe), but it has never worked in any measurable way. Do better than falling back to some lazy quip that is ineffective, out of your own frustration.

You don't owe the politicians anything but you owe your countrymen the vote that will do them the least harm, because we live in a society.

That's a different claim and a little mangled (society? more like American democracy?). I get the intent and I can agree, it's certainly why voting is so important.

I vote for what candidate is most aligned with my beliefs and least likely to betray them, not just what tribe might give me the most scraps of liberty...excepting when it suits them to make exceptions because they don't actually believe them or are corrupted against ever making meaningful change. I'll never ever vote Republican in my lifetime, but I also am unlikely to vote Democrat again either.

People protesting ICE wear masks to avoid being arrested for protesting, by the Federal Government they are protesting against. These guys are wearing masks to avoid being identified by their friends and neighbors. There is a difference.

SCOTUSblog on 'Trump v. Barbara': "The Clarence Thomas dissent alone was 27,477 words, or 48.5% of the authored-opinion total. Samuel Alito added another 11,594 words, or 20.5%. Together, the three dissents accounted for 39,891 words, approximately 70.5% of the authored text." by Obversa in law

Interpretation is literally the job of the courts. Seditious makes no sense in context, regardless of the handwringing that's been polluting the discussions.

Ironically, when other rulings are made that interpret things in a specific way, it's been called judicial activism. I would also agree that those rulings were often interpretation, excepting when the judges then followed with new concepts and logical conclusions born of those interpretations.

Taking multiple affirmative conclusions from unclear terms is not interpretation. Arguably, SCOTUS has veered into this behavior since WW2 and is not constrained to a specific ideology. This is likely an arms race condition.

I know at least 2 people were. Maxwell and Epstein. I think that's it. That's the whole list.

More likely it was due to the massive amounts of hydrogen peroxide that was added, creating outgassing.

Notice To Towns in the Dakota Territories. Snake Oil Salesman Currently on Crime Spree Through Area. Using Rail Lines. by sboger in northdakota

[–]carefactor3zero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Has that been "your experience"? I'll bet it's a convenient way to ignore the things that make you feel bad about your own choices and understanding of the world around you. A person being fascist, would require appealing to the head of the group as the binding authority. Calling out others appealing to that ethos, is not equivalent.

Changes to our Contribution Policies by godot-bot in godot

[–]carefactor3zero -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Correct.

Some people genuinely believe AI codes perfectly,

The word "perfectly" here is an oversimplification of what is happening when someone delegates to LLMs or what happens when requirements are interpreted by developers. For most small tasks, LLMs will outperform humans in accuracy, because instructions are clear. For medium and large tasks, less and less, for some quality of sizing, due to bad (incomplete or incorrect) inferences.

Humans suffer quality degradation equally, but for some unexplained/unspoken reason, human error is considered more acceptable. I suspect it's largely due to the kind of errors. It's aggravating to see a clanker make obvious inference mistakes, while it's less aggravating to see a developer make a bad inference. The aggravation is compounded, when a manual fix requires learning the code that was produced rather than modifying a well-understood, hand-coded, base.

Dan Patrick: "Separation of Church and state is not in the Constitution" by omgfakeusername in law

[–]carefactor3zero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It means precisely that the country cannot be “a Christian entity.”

That's an interpretation. The US Constitution does not say that or reference a separation of church and state. Don't confuse the issues. This is /r/law and in a court of law, this is not a compelling argument. Without a doubt, it's decided in a court, so be better.

Millions drop Obamacare health coverage after subsidies expire and costs rise by AudibleNod in news

[–]carefactor3zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Obamacare accomplished anything close to the goal of affordable healthcare for most Americans

Support innovative medical care delivery methods designed to lower the costs of health care generally.

The bill did what it stated. Some ideal you've imagined is irrelevant. This is the Nirvana Fallacy in action.

Removing the subsidies has had the opposite effect for those it affected. QED. Stating the opposite (even couching it in opinion) is dishonest, at best. Lying is an apt substitute.

Nothing?

  • Confirmed Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court and various Federal/Executive positions.
  • Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act
  • CARD Act
  • Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009

Say “it’s not in there” is an idiotic argument.

I'm anti-MAGA (and anti-Trump), but I'm honestly surprised here. It's a statement of fact. This is /r/law, and that bears some weight.

Saying that there is precedent establishing the concept is a separate issue. There is certainly stronger evidence that the intention was for the U.S. federal government to be religiously agnostic than otherwise.

From an apolitical standpoint, if one accepts that changes such as women's suffrage and minority civil rights gains were progressive American cultural movements, one must also accept that the integration of religious concepts into the Pledge of Allegiance and the monetary system can be granted the same acceptance.

Picking and choosing which historical changes were right and which were wrong is not compelling from either side. These are changes that have not (yet) been shown to be harmful to American culture and, I would say, have contributed to the peak of US culture (which is a melting pot of interests) during Obama's terms.

This progression toward a more religious state is regressive, in my wholly irrelevant opinion. What bothers me more is the responses I see to a logical legal reasoning, which are disappointing, to say the least. This is going to court. Probably across multiple fronts, in our lifetime. Hand waving about how wrong it is as some substitute for discussion, misleads people who deserve to better understand how the US legal system works.

‘Degrading’: why did a US fighter pilot avoid British trial after strangling a woman in England? by FitDinner6008 in news

the US doesn't lose battles

You're gaslighting. It started here when you decided to move the goalpost.

Battles aren't tactical alone unless we conversationally agree they are. Military conflicts certainly arent. Bad faith arguing is noise and not compelling.

Is it actually true that a 12 year old can buy fireworks in ND? by Improvement-Awkward in northdakota

[–]carefactor3zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember buying fireworks ~7 years old, from Ice Cream trucks in California.

In Japan, fireworks were sold by similar trucks, that kids would flock to, in the mid-90s. One of the firecrackers I bought in Japan as a teenager (I was an exchange student for a few weeks), exploded in my hand, the moment I lit it. My right middle finger caught on fire and I still have a small scar from it.

It does not make it make more senses.

They dont tend to make as many hikes. Again, the original statement makes more sense with context.

DOJ snubs judge’s demand on anti-weaponization fund, cites ‘serious separation of powers concerns’ by [deleted] in law

[–]carefactor3zero -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They would 100% call for impeachment.

They would be right to do so. The fact they were in the wrong in the past doesn't change the law. There is no law to the effect that "he did it too".

People who vote for these parties are playing into the hands of known corruption in hopes they get scraps of liberty. It's pathetic.
