I can’t speak for all the officials there, but many of them very much have been directly elected

The Norwegian one for example is the prime minister

Depending on the situation, repetitive shit might be unavoidable

Usually you can solve the issue by using regex, but regex can be difficult to work with as well

So you unironically think they are worse than Google?

…really? I don’t think you are being serious

In fact, there are already abliterated models of deepseek out there. I got a distilled version of one running on my local machine, and it talks about tiananmen square just fine

True open source software runs on frustrated developers

But yeah, that is a really nice part of FOSS. I have myself been in situations where I just went and fixed a big myself because it annoyed me lol

Not to mention them being trained to use violence to achieve goals

Like, what does one expect to happen?

This was a horrific fact to read

We have machines that can do the work of 100 people in the past

I’m sure that we could make it work without killing anyone

Is it okay to support Ukraine shooting Russians?

Violence is inherent in our systems. Violence is inherent in politics. States are literally founded and upheld through violence (the military and the police). Believing anything else is just closing your eyes to the violence that happens every single day, and making you powerless against injustice.

Deadlock isn’t as bad but god, the amount of racist, bigoted, and straight up fucked up things people have said are tiring and enough for me to never want to be on a mic

There’s only so many times you bother listening to someone yelling at their teammates, throwing out slurs, or even telling people

Before you just start considering perma muting everyone

I presume it’s due to African American Vernacular English (AAVE), there is a cultural aspect there that is detectable through voice

Well, here’s another question then, is cuddling sexual? Most people would say no, though it fits that definition

In addition, for me one of the sexual activities I enjoy the most is basically described as “horny cuddling”, but that’s also something people have different perceptions of

It’s really not as straightforward to define and put down an all-encompassing definition as you might think. Especially when you want to include different people’s preferences, experiences, and opinions

A lot of people do

Hell, I’ve heard plenty people say that oral sex isn’t sex

I don’t think the person is arguing that, they are saying that it depends on your definition of sexual

On the other hand, do keep in mind that mighty empires have fallen. We cannot say for sure that things will be fine just because in the past the USA has survived

Some people just have unusual features

Not a universal rule, however. Theres the whole concept of “optimizing yourself out of the fun” and what not in video games. Or the hardships being part of what makes a game fulfilling. It depends on what your goal is

Honestly it’s really easy to suss out someone’s political opinions if you just try a little bit

As if a queer president could get elected these days

In the end worrying about this hypothetical is what made the situation actually life-threatening to queer people

Really, we should just work towards keeping the world population stable and bring everyone out of poverty

Not that we have to try particularly hard, the population is stabilizing off by itself

We’re 8 billion people on the planet, we aren’t running out anytime soon
