Maybe ruined is a bit hyperbolic , the diaphragm is actually tough and iirc skeletalbut it strains the muscles so i gave myself acid reflux and burp when i talk sometimes

Worth it? Only when im not having acid reflux

It got better over time though, the secret was simply to stop being a weird dork child who learned to force burp for a parlor trick

I ruined my diaphragm learning how to burp my ABCs

It was only sort of worth it

My list of graves to piss on is becoming impossibly long but he is right in the top 10

If it were truly actually accurate maybe not… but the issue is it is a syncophancy machine being obtusely oversold as capable of multitudes of things it cannot intrinsically do accurately or as well as a person with critical thinking and is being trained on fallible data sets that include human error and now hallucination from LLMs.

If it actually were capable of doing everything the people selling you on AI are trying to get you to believe it would be an incredible tool, but it isnt, and it isnt being treated as a tool.

I think it also does us a disservice as human beings because we are at risk of losing the ability to do our own problem-solving and process of logic bedause it can be offloaded to something else and that imho can manifest as a learned helplessness.

The city I live in had 15 pedestrian deaths from cars as their previous record, this year we are up to 40.

Cars are rapidly increasing in size and weight, decreasing their visibility, and people wont get off their phones. I do also partially believe that covid hit cognitive function and that tough times are making people antsy and angry too.

The same type of coal theyre trying to open the open pit mining operations in crowsnest pass for

Really hoping those fall through. We have no time to be pfaffing around heel dragging on pivoting from harmful fossil fuels, alternatives have to be funded like… yesterday. 20 years ago even but no better day than today.

“Transgenderism” huh…

I would take this with a grain of salt, there is a large chance we are just monitoring our outbreaks and tracking/cataloging them better. My friends in epidemiology and outbreak tracking have mentioned the US isnt playing ball right now and it is likely they may not be publishing outbreak numbers like we do anymore

Show your cards more wow

I knew youd do it eventually

People still spread false rhetoric about this murder unfortunately, can attest to that in Alberta at least. When it comes up I have to defuse that minefield on the regular and I still hear a lot of pushback

We have a long way to go still and the RCMP arent about to beat any allegations even now

Nobody has to be tolerant of intolerance

That’s the core principle of the paradox of tolerance

You are arguing that we should be tolerant of intolerance

What “two sets of rights” are you addressing then? What “both sides” is there to gender acceptance?

Rhetorical question by the way. There are no valid “sides” to bigotry.

The only fake argument here is pretending that GSRM people existing and being accepted has valid opposition and acting like this is some “left vs right” issue and not a bare minimum human rights argument that has no valid opposition that isnt rooted at its core in ignorance and/or bigotry

Some arguments dont get to be a BoTh SiDeS game

I would genuinely ask you what actual valid argument you believe exists in opposition to GSRM acceptance but I dont believe in platforming fallacious or bigoted opinions as somehow equivalent to fact and the FACTS are: LGBTQ+/GSRM people exist, have always existed, did not choose to be who they are, and have a right to exist same as anyone else regardless of prejudice

And your comment is trying to “both sides” gender acceptance that is what this entire post is about

You really need to edit in a sarcasm tag, be careful what you joke about.

When you say “someones rights to conflict” you’re saying someone has a right to not support gender diversity in this context

Im not engaging with that and you dont have a “right” to not like gender diversity

There is no “both sides” to accepting LGBTQ+ people

Lol touché

No, im criticizing their argument. You dont get to say trans acceptance is a “both sides” issue full stop.

This is a minefield of a comment that is way above my pay grade…

You dont have a “right” to deny a group of people public existence. You never did. That isnt how any of that works.

Is this worth it still? I saw the reviews were pretty mixed and had removed it off my wishlist because it looked like it needed balancing and never got it

There arent “two sides” to accepting the existence of a group of people

There is acceptance and there isnt. You dont get to say people who dont believe that trans people exist have some kind of valid argument.

You wouldnt say this shit about the civil rights movement

This is a human rights issue. Trans rights are human rights. If you dont think that you shouldn’t be participating in a discussion about trans inclusion.
