I am certainly no fan of George W Bush, but what I’m saying is that every single sensible person that can come out against this orange nutboy, the better. Even if 1,000 people who thought George W bush was awesome reconsiders their vote, it’s a good thing.

Hey, you guys have been doing great with Arab and Muslim voters recently, right? I'm sure that more than 1,000 of them would change their vote after seeing you be friendly with Bush. Surely nobody would finally come to realize that Democrats really stand for nothing after seeing that.

Machine translators make heavy use of machine learning/LLMs on the back end. This is necessary to an extent since the same phrase can have different meanings depending on context, but it also means that the usual biases from machine learning can crop up easily. The most famous example is that if you translated something like "I waved to the doctor" and "I waved to the nurse" to Spanish, it used to give the masculine form/pronouns for the first sentence and the feminine form/pronouns for the second sentence, even though there is no indication of gender in the English version. So there's a good chance that the context of who is kicking who can cause Google Translate to interpret the same phrase differently due to this bias.

Oh yeah for sure. I just thought it was funny that in addition to destroying Shinzo Abe's legacy, he also stopped America from exporting its transphobic propaganda to Japan at the same time.

Oh god, they named it "XGPT". This has got to be the fastest I've seen marketers devalue the meaning of a word.

MSNBC columnist and former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance called Trump’s scrutinizing of Haley's citizenship "an offensive question that’s contrary to American values.

“The Founding Fathers imposed a restriction, but it’s hard to believe that it was meant to burden a second generation of American citizens born on American soil like Nikki Haley," Vance added. "But nonetheless, the question of the term ‘natural born citizen’ has not been fully fleshed out in the courts, and it may be that Trump is relegating us to more meaningless discourse in this area just like he did with the birther lies about Obama.”

Love how when a racist and xenophobic law is invoked to make racist and xenophobic political attacks, their response is not to point out that such a law should not exist in an actual democracy, but to argue that the Founding Fathers only intended to be xenophobic towards first-generation immigrants and not second-generation immigrants. I'm pretty sure that if the Founding Fathers heard about this they'd be more offended to learn that women and non-white people were allowed to run for office in the first place.

What are the odds that this guy also thinks that trans people making the choice for themselves to get surgery is "mutilation"

The creator of the flag was not only a slaveowner but also owned a port where an estimated 100,000 slaves were brought in from Africa.

There are enough problems with how the education system treats people as is; why are judges allowed to assign children homework explicitly as a punishment? Firing one cop isn't enough, every single person involved in making that decision should have lost their jobs.

How do Democrats still not understand that giving concessions to the "merits" of fascist rhetoric (like they're doing with trans people as well) will never make people think you're more "reasonable", and will always further normalize hatred? Or do they understand it and that's exactly why they're doing it? They've done it so many times that it has to be a conscious decision at this point, right?

Scheduling processes to balance out their CPU usage sounds too much like communism, so instead the processes using the most resources will be given an even bigger share, so they can use it to create jobs.

Several worms come pre-installed, because the best way to overcome viruses is through herd immunity.

Parent processes will not be able to terminate child processes, because life begins at execution.

There is only HTTP and not HTTPS to make sure you can't visit any un-Christian websites in secret.

Multithreading sounds too much like multiculturalism, so it is not supported.

Only ASCII characters are supported, so the computer can't communicate with China and give them our secrets.

Only available on CISC architectures, to make sure it can't be infected by the trans agenda.

Couldn't have picked a better time to come up with an outrageously greedy change to an existing service huh
