Zero surprises there. So many gun nuts are just itching to kill someone, and to those who were paying any attention it was abundantly obvious that’s exactly the kind of person who Rittenhouse is considering his fake crying, taking pictures with the judge, as well as buddying up to nazis and literally making a game to celebrate his shooting.
They’re probably mostly part of the ~8% of Democrats who lean conservative according to Pew’s political typology.
The thing that all the experts and everyone who’s informed on this topic said was going to happen ended up happening? I’m so surprised! 😱
If by tasteful you mean furry vore…
Then yeah, tasteful.
Maybe this will come off as armchair psychology, but I really believe that part of what motivates conservative, and especially far-right sentiment in men is just sexual frustration.
We’ve seen so many instances of Nazis being outed as gay or as chasers, so many incels who blame women for all the ills of the world, and so many guys who have a “blacked” or “white extinction” fetish are staunchly racist.
We can respond in a number of ways to rejection, or any other negative experience for that matter, and some people respond with aggression.
Women don’t find me attractive? Well it must be either their or society’s fault. Or maybe the blacks are at fault for taking all the white women.
I can’t be gay in my religion or conservative social circle? Well the gays must be sinful groomers then, and should be second class citizens or outright eradicated.
Once again this is probably just armchair psychology on my part, but this may be part of why we’re seeing conservatism increase among young men as younger generations are having less sex.
Remember that former Guantanamo inmates have accused DeSantis of aiding in and enjoying torture. Cruelty is the point. DeSantis and others like him simply take pleasure in making as many immigrants as possible suffer, whether they are legal or not.
I remember when scientists were more focused on making AI models smaller and more efficient, and research on generative models was focused on making GANs as robust as possible with very little compute and data.
Now that big companies and rich investors saw the potential for profit in AI the paradigm has shifted to “throw more compute at the wall until something sticks”, so it’s not surprising it’s affecting carbon emissions.
Besides that it’s also annoying that most of the time they keep their AIs behind closed doors, and even in the few cases where the weights are released publicly these models are so big that they aren’t usable for the vast majority of people, as sometimes even Kaggle can’t handle them.
Kinda ironic I saw this post right after this other one lol: Three Democrats Re-Introduce Bill That Would Bring Ranked Choice Voting to Congressional Elections Across America
All those ads an pop-ups are really annoying. Printfriendly isn’t perfect but does make the website a bit more readable: https://www.printfriendly.com/p/g/DYjpGu
9/11
Edit: At first I thought the joke was related to those “who did 9/11” memes that I see all the time on the internet, but only afterwards did I realize the date is actually 9/11 (hadn’t seen any posts online about it yet and we don’t talk about it at all in Brazil)
idk if that puts me ahead of or behind the curve…
He’s been doing that ever since his media career started in the 90s.
I guess if you’re a hostage cops can just kill you and blame the criminal then
I remember seeing a tweet of hers where she doubled down on this by linking to some right-wing blog that claimed Khelif has XY chromosomes. Not sure if she’s changed course ever since the lawsuit or if she decided to triple down.
Edit: Looks like she was still tweeting about Khelif 6 days ago, but hasn’t tweeted since.
Looked up her name on Twitter to see what people were saying about this, that was a mistake 🙄
A lot of people seem to hate her for whatever reason, she was far from perfect, but all things considered I think she did fine as CEO and I never got the hate. It can’t be easy to manage a company as big and complex as YouTube.
What’s the Y axis for the middle graph?
That’s the percentage of kids who’ve reported some kind of sexual violence.
Also only having 3 data points in such a brief window doesn’t really say much.
I disagree because it’s not really just about these YRBS surveys, it’s the whole pattern. When we consider how conservatives are the only ones voting in favor of child marriage, and how pundits and randos on the internet will defend teen pregnancy, even if it was just one survey that showed a difference between red and blue states that would just be confirmation of a pattern that’s already pretty obvious, and we should seriously ask why their ideology leads to this kind of stuff, and how to remedy it. Even if it’s just a 2% point increase, this means that hundreds of thousands of children could be saved from abuse if conservatism was less prevalent.
Finally the grouping metric of “won majority of presidential elections from 2000 to 2020” isn’t clear and isn’t necessarily reflexive of policy. A more appropriate metric might be the party of the governor or the majority parties of their chambers.
There’s really no definitive metric for “red” vs. “blue” states, so while presidential election results will obviously reflect the politics of the people in that state, I do agree that it’s not a thorough measure - but this same pattern holds even when using other measures of political affiliation.
I say this because I have some additional context here, as these graphs are part of an article I’m writing about the “pedocon” theory, and I can tell you that this same pattern shows up regardless of how we measure politics or CSA. Whether it’s polling on how many people identify as Republicans vs. Democrats, or liberals vs. conservatives, or left-wing vs. right-wing, this correlation is still there. Looking at governor or chambers specifically could be an interesting addition, but I fully expect the same pattern to hold.
Ages ago I posted a meme to r/PoliticalCompassMemes about how Lauren Boebert was happy to become a grandma at 36 when her 17 year old son had a kid, which is obviously very weird and unhealthy. Like clockwork, a lot of ‘AuthRight’ flairs came to the comments to defend teen pregnancy. You can see the post here if you really want to have a look at the hellhole that is PCM: https://redd.it/11n2z00
So yeah, it pretty much is a feature for them.
Yup.
