It happened to me, and it was the She-Ra fans who did it. They were angry that I called them monarchists.

Libertarianism is a garbage ideology.

I see you removed the rules against transphobia and clarified that content can’t be reported if it’s not against the new rules. That sucks

It nearly happened, but then we protested and tanked the stock price to fuck Spez for fucking us. Now most of the subs are poorly moderated by mods that don’t care about their community. Content is suffering and revenue is dropping. Spez pissed on his golden goose and we decided to speed the process up so he couldn’t sell before it drowned.

Yes, you specify that someone is a trans woman by saying “trans woman”. You don’t say “transwoman”, because it’s not a word.

FYI, trans woman and woman are the same noun. Transwoman isn’t a word, and the reason people don’t want it to be a word is that making “trans woman” a different noun from “woman” implies they’re not the same thing. Trans women are women, and that’s why the noun is the same. Trans is an adjective.

There’s more rumbling, which makes it feel faster.

Look at a tram station map of the Melbourne metro area.

Wooden cart.

Netherlands and Australia use brick in places where we want cars to slow down. Drivers automatically slow their speeds on brick roads. They’re fine to cycle on.

Cars should be banned.

What about brick?

Brick.

I think the current batch of AIs and the Kardashians are bad at using language

That’s really cool. Thanks for the hopium

Lemmy.world is being attached by DDOS for a few hours every day and they have to refuse all traffic during this period while they wait for the attack to end or patch the vulerability. The attackers keep hitting new vulnerabilities so this could go on for a while.

No, schaudenfreude is an emotion, sadism is a personality trait

Language based AIs will always carry the biases of the language they speak. I am certain a properly trained bilingual AI would be smarter than a monolingual AI of the same skill level

Many languages lack words for certain concepts. For example, english lacks a word for the joy you feel at another’s pain. You have to go to Germany in order to name Schadenfreude. However, English is perfectly capable of describing what schadenfreude is. I sometimes become nonverbal due to my autism. In the moment, there is no way I could possibly describe what I am feeling. But that is a limitation of my temporarily panicked mind, not a limitation of language itself. Sufficiently gifted writers and poets have described things once thought indescribable. I believe language can describe anything with a book long enough and a writer skilled enough.
