Disclaimer: I don't really believe this -- but the counter-argument would be to the one on the left: "why does it matter if the man is trans?" (which is a numbskull counterargument, but it fits in the context of the question on the right.) It's just dumb to put those two boxes next to each other IMO because it draws a very stupid venn diagram.

okay I do agree that calling people eggs is problematic, but this argument sucks. You can't both ask me to treat FtM people differently from men and ask me to treat them the same as men. The reason you don't call someone an egg is because their gender is none of your business.

what's #Lavender?

Not a lot of coverage on this from reputable news sources. I don't see it mentioned on Al Jazeera for instance.

Props to Animal Well developer, it doesn't prompt you if you saved in the last minute.

regularizing the OCR'd form into a json/html file might be a good application of an LLM though. Perhaps this is what they were asking about.

You're talkin' bout me. Yeah, I was pretty impressed when Trump got a cease-fire so quickly. Thought he might actually be better in this respect than Harris. Sadly I was wrong -- I'll admit that.

Ohh. Hmm. It's far-fetched but I suppose it's plausible.

So your objection is to the verb 'own'. Would you agree with the meme if it were to say "1% would rent this, 9% would rent this, 30% would rent this," etc.?

I have heard they are rigged with explosives, but that could just be hearsay. I wouldn't work in a building rigged with explosives. I also don't understand why TSMC would voluntarily self-destruct in such a situation. I don't get the incentive.

I agree with you that if the meme were to accurately show the amount of land the 1% owns, then the meme would probably show that almost all of the land is owned by the 1%. (I don't know the actual percentage.) But it says if it were divided like U.S. wealth, so it ironically shows the 1% owning only about 40%. It's accurate to the amount of wealth that they own, not land.

Think of it like a pie chart showing wealth, but instead of a circle it's (rather misleadingly) shaped like the continental U.S.

To me, the Victorian era doesn't feel that long ago. It had gothic horror novels, root beer, telephones, and cameras. I was recently talking with somebody who personally knew somebody who was a pioneer in the 1860s. In comparison, Ancient Rome or Mesopotamia feels really freaking long ago.
