Whether math is invented or discovered is actually still a debated question in mathematics.

That it could be an incitement to violence is precisely what they will/have argue(d), I would guess.

It’s only a non-justicable political question when Republicans do it. That part is written in invisible ink, which is only visible if you sign your entity’s legal name diagonally across the written decision with a red pen.

If you’re alive you’re connected to all things and everything indirectly. Also if you’re dead.

Indulging this person’s fetish that they’re facilitating by using an LLM isn’t a great idea. You’re enabling someone who is probably in mental distress, and you’re spending way more time on it than they are. He’s just throwing responses into an LLM and copying the response over, and he’s indulging in the attention. This account is literally only this post and comments.

It’s creepy to think of some low-effort sweat slobbering over the attention from those willing to indulge his AI-constructed fanfic. Gross.

Yes, parents obviously still pay an important role. But we regulate many things for people under the age of 18 to generally good effect.

Just because things have been started and the money had already been allocated doesn’t mean if it somehow gets on Trump’s radar that the democrats initiated something that might actually be good for America that’s still going when he’s president that he won’t viciously ruin it.

Hmm. An article quoting Pew: “a majority of white women (53 percent) did vote for Trump in the 2024 presidential election, up from 44 percent in 2020 and 39 percent in 2016 per Pew.”

but I think you’re right, those numbers sound like all women. I’ll edit the post.

Latines now make up 20% of the U.S. population, making them the largest minority group. Among the under-18 demographic, that number climbs to nearly 30%. If current population trends hold, Latines are poised to become the largest ethnic group in the country within about 25 years—that’s just three presidential terms away.

While Latines are a minority ethnicity, they are the largest one and the second-fastest growing, trailing only Asians. Asians, despite having one of the lowest birth rates, experience the highest proportional rate of immigration. Notably, Trump gained 12% of the Asian vote in the most recent election, a trend across these growing demographics that, if sustained, could spell significant gains for Republicans in the future.

However, let’s not overlook the broader electoral picture. Black, Asian, and Latine men and women combined make up about 29% of the voting public in presidential elections, while white women alone account for a staggering 37-38%. For context, Latino men represent just 5-6% of voters. White women are, by far, the largest voting demographic.

Interestingly, Trump increased his share of all women by 7% compared to when he ran against Biden and has increased his support from women each time he’s ran. The devastating thing, I think, is that Trump won 13% more of the 18-29-year-olds, 5% more of 30-44-year-olds, and continues to capture “Boomer Lite,” aka Gen X, a majority of whom he has won each time he’s ran, but he increased his share by 9% this time.

Edit: corrected an earlier data error.

I hear you! Still, I do find focusing on a quality meal over a quantity meal is a good thing, which I think in a different way you were also saying. Different qualities, same idea, generally good result. 😊

I live in one of those areas where the 40-60 set seems to be healthier and more focused on health than most people around my age, so I don’t think it needs to be age thing! You’ve got this!

Makes food seem pretty boring. I eat to enjoy. I’m not worried about “fuel,” it seems to work pretty well for that without my having to think about it. I’m pretty active, so it’s not much of a concern. But, I understand I’m fortunate that I don’t struggle with food/weight.

I’ve got good and bad news for you: it’s an edge-lord adult. I get the feeling people would feel vicarious embarrassment for him if they knew what he looks like, how he acts, and what his life is like irl. Perhaps pitying him and moving on is the best emotional response.

I’ve already blocked him, so, as far as I’m concerned, problem solved.

I don’t gain weight, but I just can’t do it. When I was in high school my parents would always order me my own large pizza, and I would eat all of it except one slice, which I would eat cold the following morning.

Now, I’ll still have the appetite sometimes, and I’ll order a large. If I’m lucky and very determined, I’ll eat half, and then I’m so stuffed I feel sick. I suppose that’s a good thing, but there is a certain sense of accomplishment found in dusting a whole pizza yourself.

He’s just a moron that plays video games all day, so his frame of reference is a fictional world. He seems to think being obtuse online makes him appear strong and therefore smart. He’s basically a Trump voter that missed a memo along the way.

🙄

Sounds like a brilliant plan. “They’re being fascist so we have to be fascist!” has worked so well in history.

You effectively said, “I didn’t do anything to change anyone’s mind, and neither did the party that I support through the bare minimum of voting once every four years, so since the majority of people in this country don’t agree with me, I think I want to play fascism instead of democracy too! Except I’m the good kind of fascist! I just don’t think the majority of voters should get their way, that’s all.”

Hard eye roll on that one.

You can’t beat fascism with fascism. It doesn’t work that way.

The problem is that the democrats are playing the game called “democracy.” The Republicans stopped following the rules of the game because they don’t want to play it anymore. If the Democrats do what the Republicans do, then the game is no longer be played. You can’t really give up on democracy and then bring it back. It rarely ever works that way.

If you cede the ground of democratic norms, rules, and policies just to win, you ultimately lose because you no longer have a democracy. In many respects, getting the Democrats to start doing the same thing is precisely what the Republicans want. Because that means they can finish burying democracy, and they’re better positioned to win the game called “fascism.”

For whom?

That’s kind of a “you” problem, no?
