I know that Alice Weidel, co-chairwoman of the german right-wing extremist party AfD is openly gay and in a relationship with a woman from Sri Lanka. Fun fact: while she actively tries to abolish same-sex marriage in Germany, her partner advocated for the introduction of same-sex marriage in switzerland.

"I do not want any kind of rainbow display especially in this month." Imagine hating the idea of diversity so much that any kind of rainbow offends you. These people won't stop until the entire world is gray.

The code being public helps with spotting issues or backdoors.

In practice, "security by obscurity" doesn't really work. The code's security should hinge on the quality of the code itself, not on the amount of people that know it.

Technological progress reduces the amount of work required to perform certain tasks. In any just system, this would improve the lives of the general population, either by reducing the amount of work required to make a living, or by increasing the amount and range of products and services.

If technological progress does not do that, and instead makes the rich richer and the poor poorer, the problem isn't technological progress, but the system in which it is applied.

So what I'm saying is this: AI isn't the problem. AI replacing employees isn't the problem. The problem is that with a class divide into investors and workers, the ones profiting the most from technological progress are the investors.

If you own housing that you rent out more than you use it yourself, you're a landlord.

If you rent out your house or apartment while you're on vacation, I wouldn't call you a landlord. But if you have a house or apartment that you only ever offer on AirBNB without ever using it yourself, you're a landlord.

Btw, I don't agree that being a landlord makes you deserving of a guillotine, but I do agree that we should limit the ownership of housing to natural persons, with a limit on how much space a person can own.

Writing to an SSD damages the SSD, however things saved to an SSD are persistent, meaning the data isn't lost when the SSD doesn't get any power. Writing to RAM doesn't damage it and it is also quicker. However, data saved on RAM is not persistent, meaning that all data is lost as soon as the RAM is not connected to a power source. Also, RAM is a lot more expensive than SSD storage.

RAMs are already used to avoid writing to (or reading from) the SSD or HDD when possible, the concept is called "Caching"

It should be mentioned that those are language models trained on all kinds of text, not military specialists. They string together sentences that are plausible based on the input they get, they do not reason. These models mirror the opinions most commonly found in their training datasets. The issue is not that AI wants war, but rather that humans do, or at least the majority of the training dataset's authors do.

I usually take my hourly wage and compare it to the inconvenience. For example, if that inconvenience takes about an hour of my life, but saves me more than my hourly wage, I take it. There are exceptions of course, for example if I am low on money.

How about, instead of trying to invert existing injustices by replacing patriarchy with matriarchy, we instead tried to move past them entirely, striving for a post-gender society where gender identity has no influence whatsoever on rights, respect and opportunities?

It's not like international law really meant anything before Trump. It has been broken many times before with no real consequences, also by the US. The UN really doesn't have the power to enforce anything.

I know in Germany murder is still murder if the murdered person consented to it.

Also, an autopsy isn't just "randomly cutting someone apart". The point of an autopsy is to determine a person's couse of death and doesn't just involve cutting the dead person open. You being alive means that an autopppsy, by definition, cannot be performed on you.

What you want is someone to mutilate and kill you. I'm pretty sure you can find someone willing to do that.

Side note: I think you overestimate how long you will stay conscious when the blood starts flowing, painkillers don't fix your brain running out of oxygen.

I reject that kind of black and white thinking. We don't have to classify people as either "cool" or "uncool", or "good" and "bad". We can criticize one thing someone does, while also praising something else that they do.

I don't think that's a Christian thing. I live in Germany, a mostly Christian country, my parents are Christians, yet the only circumcised people I know are Jews and one guy that needed to get a circumcision for medical reasons.

I have heard its common in the US tho, to prevent masturbation or something like that.

Maybe, the point still stands. I've read awesome books with boring covers and vice versa. Its really a good saying that does apply to most areas in life.
