the strawman further polarizes me away from your perspective. if i didn't know better I would say you're trying to make things worse.

Even the 2 dimensional compass is a simplification, though orders of magnitude better than the binary "left or right" simplification, and also better than the 2 dimensional gradient as well.

No, I get it, you don't like nuance.

A good point! In London,

1918 – Representation of the People Act This is effectively when universal male suffrage happened. All men aged 21+ could vote

1928 – Equal Franchise Act Full equality: women could vote at 21+, the same as men.

People keep making this a men vs women thing, but that's a distraction. There is no war but the class war. Don't let the owner class further divide the proletariat.

Ok. Everybody can get back to meme'n now.

Similar to me. My passport got wet when I was in the rain. The lady at the Canadian passport office literally yelled at me for damaging it. I was surprised, but they seem to take it very seriously.

You're absolutely right, but you also need to accept that most people think ai means transformers (as in, LLMs and generative/image synthesis)

It sucks, but that's how language works unfortunately. How most people use a word ends up defining it.

Friendly reminder that China isn't a country, it's a region. PRC is a country. And follow-up reminder that India is absolutely not properly allied with the USA, and China and India's wars had nothing to do with the USA.

Free Tibet!

Zero sympathy for anybody who owns investment properties. Zero sympathy for landlords.
