People are avoiding him because to do otherwise is to feed the troll.

No one who uses the argument that there are more covid deaths under Biden than Trump is arguing in good faith. If you don’t understand the reason for that you are not capable of a discussion.

If you are arguing that Biden made Covid policy decisions for the economy over safety and somehow believe Trump would not, you are not arguing in good faith. The difference is Biden has advisors and weighs the nuanced effects, like any rational intelligent human being, whereas Trump would do Trump things.

There is no need to dissect the policy for this guy.

It’s magically even worse than that.

How could a state both turnout to enshrine abortion into the state constitution AND go Republican?

That’s a whole new level of dumb I didn’t know existed

Roe v Wade still existed in less contentious times.

They aren’t wrong in this case.

Artists don’t need to use genAI in all their works, but they will need to know how to use it.

Hezbollah has invaded Israel’s space with their rockets

If it was possible for terrorists to explode cell phones in the US they would have already done so.

There is no way to distinguish those arguing in good faith vs those who are trolling or arguing in bad faith, because all those parties use the same flawed arguments.

Just assume everyone making those arguments are just Maga trolls trying to siphon votes away from democrats. Saves your sanity

If Obama didn’t push for ACA, we would not be at this point we are now. Even if he did not succeed to get everyone on board, he moved the needle. The conversion is steering in the right direction.

And like the other replier said, the president sets the guidance for congress and their party. They make it clear what they want to pass and what won’t pass, then congress will work towards those goals/ compromises. Ex, If the president clearly indicates she is pro choice, any anti abortion legislation is going to be vetoed so no one is spending political capital trying to push for it, grandstand aside.

The single full time employee is the lead or manager. They have some number of contractors to work with but aren’t headcount.

She did not indicate anything of the sort, just that she did not want to take part in it. Beyond that is speculation. She is asking for documentation proving they did not use her voice without permission to train the AI. That’s perfectly fair.

I’m differentiating this type of genocide with the type Palestine will undoubtedly perform if the shoe was on the other foot, hence why the issue is not simple.

Lemmy keeps trying to push this idea that if the fighting stopped today and there was a ceasefire or peace, that Oct 7 wouldn’t just repeat at a later date. How many decades have we played this same song and yet the small fringe community here wants to pretend it will be different this time?

And no matter how you want to frame that train of thought, or try to label it fascist etc, not agreeing to make peace with Hamas is not the same as condoning genocide. The fringe minority you claim is still in power and they still have hostages. They still enjoy the support of the Palestinians as they did on Oct 7. Hamas made Gaza a war zone, to not be against Israel fighting in said war zone is not supporting genocide.

History.

I would like you to honestly state that you believe Hamas would not delete Israel and all the Jews there if given the chance.

I’m not sure where you see any evidence of Hamas needing to change if they theoretically won the conflict. They absolutely would inflict a genocide of given the chance. To deny this is naive at best but most certainly just dishonest.

Declare our state legitimate, but also

Your state is illegitimate.

Sounds entirely peaceful and would not lead to further future conflicts.

“before Uber, we had underfunded public transit” well we still do, this is a public problem not a private one

You can classify it however you like but Uber made it better, if only for a while. No matter what you think the problem is or was it clearly wasn’t going to change on it’s own.

“before Crypto, there was no Crypto” ok granny, the rest of the world had bank transfers

This is something people who do not do international transfers (ignorant people) say. Bank transfers with up the ass fees and exchange rates decided by the same people. Crypto came along and rates became more competitive, showing there is demand and allowing services like Wise to come around.

“AI is the future” no, what they’re calling AI right now is a giant scam. the tech will come, but this aint it

Again a comment from the ignorant. You can be pedantic and call it"not real AI" but generative AI and LLM is in use now and billions are being spent too build up the infrastructure. Companies and governments aren’t doing that if the payoff isn’t there.

Not really accurate, just very cynical.

All those disrupters did their job and either broke up monopolies or forced industries to adapt where they would have otherwise been perfectly content sitting on their ass and doing nothing for the consumer.

Cabs/Taxis - artificially controlled in number to keep fares high and service sucked.

Crypto - try to remember before crypto, the idea of cashless was non-existent. Want to make international transfers? Pay up the ass in fees and at rates they choose. Crypto forced companies to do better with digital currency.

Generative AI - is the future and will propel innovations we have not even considered.

Admittedly Airbnb is the only"disruptive" tech that isn’t so great and has more serious consequences, but I’m all for the hotel industry having more competition.

We can argue the current state of Uber/Lyft and crypto isn’t great, but they started off well and did disrupt in good ways for the consumers.
