You're in support of life imprisonment as punishment for somebody who gets into a couple fights?

People who get uptight about swearing irritate me. I understand getting upset about racial slurs or other actually loaded language, but getting upset about the word "fuck" but not "sex" is just making up things to be upset about.

That removes a lot of the content. Much of this is inside clickable menus that reader mode doesn't capture.

For a site that is apparently for people with disorders, the accessibility is somewhat appalling.

Sometimes you can't help it, sometimes you are related to those people, and sometimes they also can't help it. If I'm out with a friend who has a severe disorder that means he can't help but make a loud "whoop" sound every minute or so, am I a bad person for feeling embarrassment, even if that feeling is uncontrollable? People don't usually choose to feel embarrassed. It's as helpful to tell somebody to not feel embarrassed as it is to tell somebody with verbal tics to simply not have them.

In state parks, but I haven't seen it really enforced in most of the US. The point is that litter isn't the primary problem with plastic. Most of the issues with it have nothing to do with the littering of random citizens, to the point that it's not even worth bringing up in a conversation about plastic.

Verizon in particular. My Pixel 3 is still more than capable hardware-wise, but it's years out of software support. I could get much more use out of it, but the bootloader is locked and Verizon will not unlock it, so it's e-waste.

I don't see a problem with taking the phone, as long as it's returned by the end of the day. The school should have your phone number on file and can reach you in an emergency. The situations where your child would specifically need to reach you on their own phone with no other possibilities of getting help (or getting their phone back in a hurry) while at school are so uncommon as to be not really with considering.

It's not well established at all. I don't think a single study has conclusively and causatively linked pornography use to lower testosterone levels.

Throwing plastic on the ground instead of in a bin is already illegal, and often carries $1000 fines if you are caught. And putting it in a bin already is just kicking the can down the road. I say we blame the corporations who are making materials that are nearly impossible to effectively recycle, don't biodegrade within several human lifespans, and break down into something that may very well be poisonous to us and our ecosystems.

Blaming consumers for this is like blaming them for lead in gasoline.

You're misreading the comment. It's not that "for your safety" always implies tyranny, it's that tyrants always prefers to say that they're doing things for your safety.

Ah, I've never really been able to discern. There is obvious LLM text, but it's harder to tell the difference in short samples, and with some prompting to get it to write in a particular style, it's been easy to make LLM output non-obvious for a while now.

I thought so, but the rest of the comment is worded quite reasonably, so I decided to not interpret it as hyperbole or irony.

Everything involving any kind of coordination, cooperation, competition, and/ot communication between two or more people involves politics by its very nature. LLMs are communication tools. You can't divorce politics from their use when one person is generating text for another person to read.

The problem is that for the vast majority of use, LLM output is not revised or edited, and very many times I'm convinced the output wasn't even fully read.

I agree with you. I think it's a bit wasteful and dumb, I just don't find it either sick or confusing.
