If you interpret monotheism as incompatible with materialism and as prescriptive of equality, most Jews, Christians and Muslims lose it at the first commandment.

Edit: Self included, naturally.

In a sense, this is also the point. They are different devices targeting different markets.

Not going to lie, there are some holes in the metaphor.

It was a beautiful comment. Some people struggle with irony. Btw, I don’t think anyone is concious of their unconcious biases. If you give a shit, in the broad sense, you just have to keep trying.

You’re interviewing two candidates and you just seem to prefer Dan over Eric, who has dreads. You’re not really sure why you prefer Dan, but you’re sure it’s nothing to do with racism. You feel confident because you have a daughter-in-law you love like your own, who happens to be black. Are you racist if you hire Dan?

Trump is actually Hari Seldon and we’re simply unable to comprehend his genius grasp of psychohistory.

Well, yes, there is that.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying governments could force MS, Google, Apple to implement content filtering tools at the OS level, that give users the choice to set up filtering however they want for themselves or their kids.

Those against website age verification argue that content blocking should happen at the OS level. For example, a parent could enable the built-in “child mode” on their child’s smartphone or computer. As I understand it, that would be more effective, graceful, cheaper, free speechy, and private. To a degree, tech savvy parents (and people who block ads and other content) already do similar things with third party tools - i.e. it’s feasible.

If you’re being serious, I think you share a widely held misconception around what “racism” is. The Romani are an ethnic group and you’re saying “we” hate them (you could just stop here as anything beyond this is just rationalisation), not because of their ethnic group, but because of criminality within that ethnic group. That doesn’t really make sense, if you think about it.

Everyone should have content filtering tools. I use Adguard services for filtering my own internet (adult, Reddit, YouTube, etc.). Surely, implimenting something similar at an OS or router level would have saved us decades of pointless bickering and provided us with an actual consumer benefit?

As long as no one gives them the idea that a hostile occupation is sustainable in perpetuity, we’ll be fine.

Israel orders military to stop Gaza-bound yacht carrying Greta Thunberg

Surprise twist: He redirected all your Christian prayers to Waheguru and you’re all now an additional cycle away from Mukti.

The death of religious spirituality at the hands of religious identity.

Meanwhile, Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine are trying to make the galaxy a safer place.

Nobody do this. It’s completely ruined my CoD rank.

Thought crimes are next on the todo list. Why do you think we want your AGI logs?

Yeah, I mean…

Not Greta though? I know this seems like a weird tipping point considering all we’ve seen, but I don’t know how I’d handle that.

When will these fucking idiots give up? Like we’re ever going to give up privacy? Yeah, right after self-determination, you fucks.

Is anyone else genuinely and seriously concerned? Surely they wouldn’t, right?
