  • How is transmaxxing being used to perpetuate transphobia?

    The problem with the “transmaxxing” theory is that it does not contend with the realities of living as a trans woman in a systemically transphobic and misogynistic world. Trans people are subjected to disproportionately higher rates of violence and experience increased levels of housing insecurity in comparison to their peers. Contrary to these statistical realities, Vintologi writes “trans women will benefit from the increasing female privilege.” This supposed privilege has no factual basis as all women are still the subject of discrimination and violence (sexual and otherwise) on the basis of their sex, while being paid an average of 85 cents on the dollar when compared to their cis male counterparts.

    Highlighting this section for people.

  • I'm pretty sure it just replaces itself with what it thinks is the correct Excel expression. That way the use can audit and correct the AI's work (and Microsoft isn't liable for miscalculations). Firing off to co-pilot every evaluation would be insanely irresponsible.

  • There's absolutely way more simply apathetic non-voters who saw two candidates promising more austerity and genocide and said "shits fucked yo" and didn't bother. You can call those people stupid but you'd be dumber for thinking that will get them to vote for your candidate.

    If anything the uncommitted campaign was warning about that.

  • Oh so we must've secretly just wanted Trump to win because...? Or maybe we just wanted Biden to stop funding a genocide?

    Maybe there's a lesson here for you to learn. Something about "electability". When people say "I won't vote for anyone who sponsors genocide" they aren't bluffing.

  • They really don't and those who do get shut out of leadership positions as a threat to their donors. The donor-based democrats are more interested in innovating ways to tell their constituents how to vote and the PR firms they're hiring are selling them fumes.

  • Yeah news is supposed to be objective and you were basically posting an opinion piece. Its a silly rule that every news thread has to be laundered through some "objective journalist institution" instead of just posting direct sources.

    Jordan was definitely thought policing you though. He made it obvious when he argued against it while also banning it.

  • For 2. it would be a piece of journalism not a call to action. "Group X calls to impeach trump" is news. Posting group x's call to impeach directly is not. The (alleged) lack of the authors opinion is what matters.

    Its a very subtle and pedantic difference IMO. FWIW Jordan has even more arbitrary definitions of what is news and what is a blog.
