Thanks for being a good friend to them and their parents. I wonder how many people would see this issue differently if they had a friend or family member that was trans.

Secretary of State hanging out with the leader of the proud boys. No big deal.

That is absolutely horrible. I hope they are doing ok now.

Yes, but it might take a few days to draft something up, it probably won't be short.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the bolded part. The best case for socialism is unfettered capitalism.

That is interesting that you are on a similar trajectory as I am. There are quite a few people I know who were "right" libertarians from 2008-2016 that have drifted in a leftist direction and are in a similar place. The wild thing is, I don't think my values have really changed. I still...

They always pick random seldomly used names for assistants. I guess that is good, because if it was "David", "Brittney" or "Chris" we would be constantly accidentally setting them off. In all seriousness, there are at minimum 40-50 bots on the site at all times. our info is most definitely...

Even worse, it hurts Claude's feelings and drives him to drink. The last time that happened he accidentally targeted an elementary school!

I'll delete it out of caution.

They don't even have a pretext. They are doing it for 2 primary reasons: 1) They can; and 2) Israel wants them to do it.

Kidding. But in all seriousness, I agree with your statement. I think class conflict is becoming the predominant flashpoint of our time. Fascism doesn't rise out of a bubble, historically, it has risen out of parliamentary democracies and republics failing to deliver on their values and...

Who do think the "fringe left" is and what positions do they take? I think there are a lot of centerist dems that use language and virtue signal that they are much farther to the left than they are. This is exclusively on social issues too, it rarely happens with economics. Why? Because social...

I agree with your first paragraph and know people who you describe. The ideological center left is still the predominant group that holds party in the democratic party. The base might have moved on from them, but these "third way" people are very much still representative in the body politic.

A language model cannot feel anxiety. Its a model and is no more sentient than a math equation is. They know the science behind them and know better than to say sh!t like this. I cannot wait for the bubble to pop.
