If we were living in the 1930s they’d be the same people complaining we’re being unfair to Hitler and we need to hear his perspective too.

Hell, he used the same political strategy as modern day fascist politicians: simply lying. “I’m gonna make everything better! How? Don’t worry about that, just trust me and also let me reassert Germany’s national pride!” I’m reminded of Trump’s ACA “plan” (that he doesn’t have one).

And we just let them say that, unchallenged! Maybe someone asks how they’ll do it, but viewers just hear a strong man telling a story of future prosperity and ignore any small details a journalist might counter with. In the name of “balance”, we let them spread their info hazards and pretend silly things like facts will let people come to the right conclusion.

I believe the old technique was gradient ascent starting with a random image and optimizing for the classifier’s dogginess score, but now we train image denoisers then give them pure noise and tell them it’s a noisy image of a dog. Basically, we lie to models to make them make stuff for us, and we’ve gotten better at what lying scheme we use.

How is that delusional? Blocking out stressors is perfectly reasonable. Yeah you miss out on some relevant news, but lower stress might be worth it.

A logo’s very different from what I would consider an “ad”. I don’t mind logos existing, but anything pushed in my face is horrible and I hate it.

And then the compiler updates to get better at spotting optimization opportunities and it blows up again

My gender is V-neck

I’m at a loss

I already knew that party sucked, and our options in the election sucked. I’ve seen them move farther right to appeal to the mythical moderate rather than actually become something anyone would like to vote for. That does not change anything I said in the last reply.

My vote is not an endorsement, nor a signal that I trust them, it is merely one lever which I use tactically. Harris was the tactical vote.

I think you’re confusing “Vote Harris” with “Vote Harris and do nothing else”. Obviously voting for a slightly lesser genocider isn’t sufficient, but she seems more open to changing than Trump which is worth something.

The Democratic party can occasionally be strong-armed into doing something less horrible, the Republican party would probably do the bad thing harder to spite you. I prefer the more malleable candidates for achieving my goals. That being said, there’s no use yelling at people for not voting Harris, because what’s done is done, and there’s no lesson yelling will teach.

The scenario in the meme doesn’t mean 100% you’re trans, but it does mean you should probably seriously consider that possibility. A lot of eggs don’t say they’re cis because of careful consideration, but because of fear of admitting their true selves.

Obviously you know yourself better than any meme or Internet stranger, and it’s ultimately your judgment for yourself.

No professional help, Just Trans Voice Lessons and lots of messing around. Progress was slow though, and it took a while to bring all the pieces together. My biggest help was actually intentionally sounding more masculine (sometimes hyperbolically so) because that made it easier to take the negative of that (imagining voice as a vector space).

I’ve been enjoying life since starting on estradiol, it’s really nice just feeling correct. I’ve also been working on my voice for over a year, and I’m very happy with it! It’s a joy to listen to recordings of it.

Sometimes I drop mine and live a few hours without it

I’m glad I moved to this instance from Reddit, it’s a lot nicer here and I know you guys will protect us much better 🫂

Oh, I wish I could. The moral high ground means doesn’t buy anyone their rights or life back unfortunately, so you got a pretty bad deal there.

Different stranger here: I actually started to like myself and enjoy living, things everyone takes for granted. I couldn’t have imagined this much happiness was even possible, but it’s my normal now! Now I smile, laugh, talk to people, and feel like an actual person! It’s amazing how much improved now that I’ve been reducing that constant itch of wrongness!

I know people like to call the holy trinity absurd because of the multiple entities being 1 entity, but I would like to direct your attention to plural people. Holy-trinity-like situations actually occur in real people. Even with different genders.

Intersex God!!! That implies intersex people are divine! Now if only Christians would stop trying to “fix” God’s most divine creations…

Well, so do humans
