There’s an interesting and nuanced conversation to be had about fairness in sports. Many athletic associations have guidelines in place that allow trans athletes to compete in a way that is as fair as possible to them and other competitors. Are they all perfect? Probably not, but having this conversation in the first place is the best way to ensure these associations can make competition as fair as possible to trans and cis athletes alike.

But of course this conversation will never take place, because the goal was never to make women’s sports more fair. It’s always been about trans erasure.

I strongly suspect the Gemini team is trying to artificially inflate the usage statistics for it by opting people in without their consent and requiring you to replace assistant with Gemini in order to access popular tools like image gen.

Or that weird thing ChatGPT was doing were it screamed “help” in your own voice before replying like nothing happened.

Wait what the fuck

Please just leave the sea bugs in the ocean thanks.

When I was a kid, growing up in New England, my parents would occasionally get live lobsters from the grocery store. My dad would always let me play with them before dinner. It always made me so sad when it was time for them to die, and to this day my parents bring up one particular night that I was begging them, “you can’t kill them, they’re my friends!” It’s a fun story for them, but it probably traumatized the fuck out of me.

A given person’s definition of “old” is usually about 15 years older than they are. My boss is 65 and calls 70 year olds “young”.

Awesome. I can’t wait to hear you explain why Bernie syphoning away Dem votes and handing Trump a second term would have been great for our country.

The Lemmy equivalent of a “subreddit” is called a “community”.

Skeet? Really? Lil Jon’s “Get Low” came out 22 years ago.

Now if they had said “Skibidi” that would be a different story.
