  • Yeah man, exactly. There’s no nuance to it at all. Everyone in CS is the same. Public scientists, salaried code monkies, FOSS contributors, game developers, robotics engineers, crypto bros. All of us, slathering at the mouse to shove AI and ML into everything just to appease Sam Altman.

    It can’t possibly be that a small subset of extremely well funded losers is abusing a subsection of the field that’s recently had major developments without enough of a regulatory oversight.

    All chemists are responsible for monsanto All biologists are responsible for plum island All nuclear engineers are responsible for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    Stuff that shit back where it came from.

    Same boat. Terrified of socializing, desperately need it, bars seem like a good place esp in the cozy gay port town I live in.

    Having a +1 is great just for confidence, don’t expect to run into people.

    Ime generally you want to > sit at the bar for a bit, make convo with the people next to you if you can, it’s okay to butt in depending on the kinda conversation.

    After a drink or two get up, do something on your feet, dance, sit somewhere else in the establishment. People are at bars to socialize, otherwise they’d be home. Don’t be too afraid to say hi.

    Come back and sit at a diff seat next to diff people, repeat until you get pulled into a conversation.

    Glhf!! :333



  • Pretending this is a good faith argument.

    Because the market is already saturated, capitalism is not the freedom of business, it is the freedom for business.

    No mom and pop can compete against walmart, they already have too much money, walmart is free to lower prices at locations around the mom and pop store until it runs out of business.

    One example because like… If it’s in good faith you just straight up lack the prerequisite knowledge to discuss economics.





  • The racial analogue fits because we’re another minority group that faces discrimination. Hope that helps.

    Seperate but equal, hmm, where have I heard that before?

    What do your hypothetical women’s emotions have to do with segregation?

    Trans women are women but we shouldn’t be allowed in women’s restrooms because we look different?

    Trans women are women but what about lesbians? Because we love different?

    Trans women are women but what if a women thinks I might have been a man once and freaks out about it? Because we are different?

    Why should these hypothetical women’s feelings excuse discriminating against and segregating an entire demographic of women?

    I know no woman who has said trans women in the bathroom make her uncomfortable. I’ve never even seen one.

    A lesbians dating preference may be for gold star, should we ban women who have slept with men from lesbian spaces? A lesbian can just choose to not fucking date trans women.

    The thought that someone may have been a man once. How horrible. What if she was raped by a woman? Should we ban women from women’s spaces to protect survivors?

    Do you have evidence for that claim? I promise there are enough factors discouraging participation in women’s sports, funding, historical norms, cultural expectations, direct sexism, existing power structures, training opportunities, school opportunities, etc, so forth.

    If i sign off as a transgender does it invalidate my feelings as a woman?
