Is there a law for when people intentionally ignore authorial intent to invoke Poes Law unnecessarily?

We still have no word for the, uhm, “soft” gender to differentiate it from the biological gender?

Sex. The term for biological gender is ‘sex’. You can be male sexed (ie assigned male at birth [AMAB]), but that doesn’t make your gender male necessarily. We have plenty of words for ones gender that aren’t male or female, it just scares and confuses people who don’t want to think about other genders than male/female.

Because, since gender has two parts, he’s right and wrong.

He’s not wrong, you just seem to lack proper knowledge of the topic.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I understand the point you’re trying to make just fine. It’s just a bad argument that falls apart if you aren’t entirely privileged and give it more than a cursory, surface level look.

Again, we can’t make you see the point if you don’t want to.

You appear to be looking to not tell the two apart, and I don’t particularly care to go into all the reasons why this mentality is stupid and reductive as hell to the point of being actively poisonous to the ends you’re working to achieve. Because I’ve had this conversation before, and I literally can’t make you see the point in looking into the differences when you don’t want to. And, imo, that’s the exact mentality that got us here, because why bother voting less bad when ThErE’s No DiFfErEnCe BeTwEeN tHeM.

Perfect is the enemy of better, and chasing perfection instead of improving things is only going to burn it down. Which is also what a number of people who share your point of view want. And unfortunately, now is the time of monsters…

Oh wow, so it really is just a speedrun 1920s/30s Germany.

Well, we can’t make you see the difference if you don’t want to.

I’ll take the low energy and working brain over high energy dementia

Yes

This really doesn’t change much though, the DOE put out the same low confidence theory 2 years ago. The fact that the intelligence agency hasn’t reached a better confidence level two years after the energy department said the same thing, that’s more like a massive strike against the theory than anything that supports it.

The CIA now believes the virus responsible for the coronavirus pandemic most likely originated from a laboratory, according to an assessment released on Saturday that points the finger at China even while acknowledging that the spy agency has “low confidence” in its own conclusion.

A low confidence finding essentially means the evidence to support that theory is incomplete or questionable.

Aside from the fact that even the CIA doesn’t believe this, isn’t this the same shit we talked about 2 years ago?

I don’t know if it’s my phone or my fingers, but I constantly have issues with hitting the *3dot menu when I try to hit the vote buttons.

Oh, and inconsistent back behavior. When opening images, sometimes swiping for back closes the image and returns me to the post list, and sometimes it backs me out of the post list and I can’t get back to the listing I had been looking through without reloading.

Damn, and I was just about to break my “have never played Alan wake” streak…

Without action, any republicans ‘tut tut’-ing trump is just blowing smoke. I care as much about this as Collins or Murkowski aggressively furrowing their brows at trump for 4 straight years.

It’s not a template, they’re going through lines in The Room.

But I was in DC on the 6th, and let me tell you that the people I saw wearing the red hats were “normal”.

Having grown up with a meth addict parent, you may not know what to look for in otherwise “normal” adults who are meth addicts. If they have the self control not to let the drug take over, they can live for years without showing any outward signs of their habit. It’s amazing how long some people can be functioning adults and addicted.

Why would the year, the least important, need to be first?

For proper ordering for one. ISO8601 is objectively the best way to label anything that might need to be ordered based on time. This forces data points to line up properly in chronological order, and makes it easy to time slice as needed.

And why are the pieces of the pyramid made so the ISO standard is the only one that looks right?

Because it’s the only one that goes from largest value to smallest. It’s first because you start from the largest as the base (year) and work down through size to seconds.

ss:mm:hh:DD:MM:YYYY would also order the numbers based on length, but would look terrible if represented like that

Agreed. And any sort of data analysis would be so much harder

You need to remember that the technical people may not have an issue with it, but the bean counters tend to be more stuffy and upright about shit. And a lot of clients are especially up tight in my experience. Something about paying you money and expecting standard business responses.

I wouldn’t give a shit if I saw that, but I absolutely would not send that up the chain if a junior sent me that screenshot (or I’d crop it down to the most useful info. Last thing I want to do is listen to some asshole c-level complain at me for 20 minutes about professionalism.

Legit tho, has AI ever not been used to discriminate in situations like this?
