This challenges assumptions that AI can be conscious through structural emulation alone.

You'd have to be a real dumb-ass to assume that.

I think he must have been ready. Those people have been through a lot, and no one else was doing anything.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-11-09T18:37:16+00:00

It would have been good if he'd tried to de-escalate things by stabbing them with a bayonet first. I'm picking nits, though.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-11-09T18:36:08+00:00

Also he has terrible trigger discipline.

I don't think that really applies when you're actually shooting at people.

It looks intentional to me.

I wish him all the success in the world.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-25T12:24:13+00:00

I used to drive a Subaru like that, but after the third time I got rear ended my insurance company finally totalled it out. Damn solid car, though.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-25T12:21:33+00:00

"Absence of religion" is not what you believe in, nor what you practice. You are literally proselytizing to get people to accept your cosmology. That's the very definition of evangelicalism.

Did your pedophilia ever get cured?

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-22T17:07:54+00:00

That answer is shit. There's a way to do this. I remember doing it years ago to intercept color palette changes. I think the technique is called an "API hook."

Surprised you didn't get a zero-information answer from Robert Harvey, too.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-22T15:24:18+00:00

Yours is by far the worst.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-21T21:36:03+00:00

I didn't say you had to follow any particular religion. In fact it kind of seems like you're the one telling me exactly what to believe.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-21T15:36:33+00:00

I disliked him when he was running for Congress, but I thought he was a pretty good Attorney General. His right-wing thuggery was exactly what was needed at the time.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-04T15:48:42+00:00

Top few comments seem to be attempts at "gotchas" built around the existence of "trans men."

That doesn't work, rhetorically. These leftists created the concepts of "trans women" and "trans men." Creating logical fallacies around either therefore doesn't help them. Their fault.

Practically, I don't want "trans men" in women's spaces anyway. To be in one, you should be a woman by both birth and behavior.

I don't particularly want them in men's spaces, either, but society / Reddit has this weird fixation on going to the doctor all the fucking time so I guess they have to go somewhere. Maybe hospitals can find closets to repurpose.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-02T21:30:32+00:00

I used to live near the headquarters of this charity that was kind of the cheap, K-Mart version of Make-a-Wish. They'd post info about the "wishes" they'd granted on one of those signs where you can hang up letters. They were laughably bad, shit like "Little Timmy with brain cancer got to talk to Doug Flutie's junior high coach on the phone" or whatever.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-01T02:47:08+00:00

The political left has had great success in forging the people they call "oppressed" into a "community." They're not shy about it- Barack Obama, for example, has been described as a "community organizer" without a tinge of shame or irony.

In reality, very few of us can be categorized as "oppressed" or "oppressor." All humans are flawed and pretty frail, and exist in a world of scarce resources and inevitable mortality.

All humans can therefore be convinced that they are oppressed. If done right, this can suck them into the "community" of the "oppressed" (for example, the Democrat Party).

The power in this consists of deciding who is not, for some political purpose, "oppressed." Then the "community of the oppressed" can do whatever it wants to that arbitrarily-selected group.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-10-01T00:00:13+00:00

I say this about "process" in software development. Just stop making tickets and sprint plans and shit and 90% of the "problems" we deal with go away. It's all just self-inflicted pain.

Geez, she was probably actually dreaming. Duh.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-29T18:39:48+00:00

Feels like IQ is de facto log scale. An average IQ of 110 is much different, societally, from an average IQ of 100.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-29T18:39:10+00:00

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but it seems to me that the fear/shame/guilt categorization lines up very well with Freud

Fear = Id

Shame = Ego

Guilt = Superego

Just as individuals climb from id-driven behavior to ego-driven behavior and then maybe to superego-driven behavior, societal rules mature from being fear-driven to shame-driven and finally some societies manage to reach the guilt-driven stage.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-29T17:31:58+00:00

LOL yeah... and if you ask (phrasing it diplomatically) "should we study whether shit in the environment is making so many people into fucking fruits" people either call you a disgusting bigot or leap straight to "muh gay frogs" memes.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T20:00:29+00:00

LOL at "Larps and the Real Girl."

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T17:57:59+00:00

LOL people tolerate hazing at a frat because they think they'll get pussy. That isn't happening at Reddit. WTF.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T17:54:49+00:00

Damn. I'd have guessed more like $500 for a Glock.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T17:53:50+00:00

That comment about selling baby heads to get a Lamborghini was totally taken out of context!

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T17:51:18+00:00

I really think any innate difference between the sexes' video game abilities has been exaggerated. Anyone can press A, B, Select, Start or whatever. The problem is, women are too busy having mind- blowing sex with lantern-jawed Chads to do it.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T17:48:47+00:00

it all comes together in a kind of really pretty female ish way

Ninety miles of anonymous Guatemalan goat-herder cock will do that to a man.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T17:47:07+00:00

Is it... is it a "transbian"?

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T17:45:50+00:00

Many white men will reject you if you've had sex with blacks. A single mother with a black child? No thanks.

Don't care all that much if she's been with black men, but I'd feel very judged walking around with the resultant child. Sucks for the kid :( but I lack any sympathy for the mom.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T17:41:39+00:00

LOL what a fucking shock!

Seriously, if you make a mixed baby, I think it's actually even MORE important for there to be a monogamous, intact relationship and family home. It's very important already, of course.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-26T17:37:02+00:00

Oh no! What ever shall we do without their clunky, seven-layer-burrito system and nuisance capchas!

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-25T18:46:53+00:00

I can't imagine that someone whose best things going for them are the cat and weed has their main problem with being "trans".

See, that's why I have my cat, my weed, and a bunch of black market land mines. Things are really looking up!

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-25T16:28:41+00:00

He cannot be touched!

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-24T23:58:48+00:00

This would get your banned from .IS.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-24T23:57:32+00:00

He is in a "real dark place." The cat, weed, and Reddit are his pathetic distractions.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-24T18:44:01+00:00

"The science isn't out" seems extremely sinister to me

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-24T00:46:14+00:00

"Bend to the mob" and do what, though? Do you really think a few billionaires saying, "fine, we'll agree to be less rich" is what's missing from our society? Don't you think economic inequality, the need to work, etc. are just inherent to life? We live in a world of scarce resources and they have to be allocated. How would you propose we do this differently?

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-23T19:37:16+00:00

What exactly do you (or does anyone) think a general strike would accomplish? Some shit about the minimum wage, or healthcare? Do you really think any of that will help?

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-22T21:54:11+00:00

People have a right to do drugs. They do not have a right to behave negligently. We ought to penalize people for their bad deeds, not for exercising their rights.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-22T21:52:50+00:00

I have a set of Encyclopedia Britannica (15th Edition) in my office. I like it a lot.

Was always a fan of single-volume encyclopedias, too.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-21T22:57:55+00:00

Seems kind of irrelevant.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-21T20:12:27+00:00

LOL thanks. Post definitely resonated with me.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-21T17:16:57+00:00

I've noticed that quite often someone who's already sitting at such an intersection will wait for me to arrive there and stop before proceeding, as if they don't trust me to stop.

I have started, well, living up to their expectations by accelerating right through the intersection without stopping. Sometimes they honk or contort their little faces in anger, but what's the alternative? I'm not participating in some stupid little automotive kabuki theater with some retard who's too pussy to drive a car correctly.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-21T17:14:59+00:00

Cuck

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-19T11:31:50+00:00

Dude, you need to stop. Reddit is in no way "right wing." You're just a butthurt wackjob.

I’ve never drugged and I’m non alcoholic.

Maybe brush up on your English and try again, champ.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-18T20:51:51+00:00

It's really unfortunate how the English language is being twisted. It's mostly leftists and young people doing it.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-18T00:45:54+00:00

Yes, I would continue working if my house burned down. Does that seem like a good time to retire, to you?

And no, I don't have my freedom. This is just another way of saying I'm not independently wealthy. Few people are.

That kind of freedom has to be earned. I have my plan for earning it, and I have a much better shot at it than most. Part of that plan is being frugal, part of it is working for an income.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-18T00:38:37+00:00

She's a dakimakura now.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-17T19:48:35+00:00

I would not have to ask for a handout if my house burned down. Even in the very worst case, I would continue working from a hotel or a modest apartment while I sorted out my insurance claim. I also have about $60,000 in retirement accounts I could liquidate without penalty if something terrible happened.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-17T16:36:37+00:00

What does "paycheck to paycheck" mean, though? I have a positive net worth and I make well over $150,000 per year, but I don't have thousands of dollars in cash just sitting around. Sometimes I might have $1,000 - $2,000 "extra" after I get paid and pay bills, but I mostly use that to pay down a home improvement loan.

So yeah, I might only have $500 or less in my checking account sometimes, but it's mostly because there's no real advantage to sitting on cash.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-16T23:48:17+00:00

I think you're in denial about leftism and what its real goals and principles are.

Hopefully some Indian kid is figuring out how to beam images to the human eye directly through one's jawbone. That way, everyone else can buy bone-conducting goggles, die from inevitable jaw cancer, and leave me the fuck alone.

Hmm... probably a little too much "marlinspike seamanship" for most people's taste.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-12T20:55:56+00:00

That's irritating.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-12T14:03:38+00:00

I haven't observed any of that kind of behavior. My employer sublet all its office space and went fully remote in the middle of 2020, and we've at least doubled in size since.

If a software company can't make remote working work well, they have deeper problems in the area of performance management. Herding people into an office might feel like the answer, but it's probably not.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-10T15:57:55+00:00

I submitted a page once on Wikipedia. It was about the drummer of a band. My submission was denied as "not noteworthy enough" even though all the other musicians in the band had longstanding pages.

Must have been weird for that guy up on stage, knowing the singer and the guitarist were so much more famous than him.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-10T15:55:06+00:00

I don't understand why a software company would ever do this.

TaseAFeminist4Jesus · 2023-09-10T13:00:32+00:00

I remember hearing the middle and end of an interview with a woman on NPR a couple of years ago. I didn't hear the beginning, so I had to try to figure out who exactly was being interviewed. Listening to her, I quickly concluded she must have been a higher-up in a communist political party, or some other radical leftist movement.

Then, as the interview concluded, it was revealed that this person was from Snopes.com
