My peers are so sensitive and get offended about everything - total Social Justice Warrior babies.
Then:
“Trans people exist.”
UHG I AM SO OFFENDED!
The point: SJWs aren’t really the triggered babies, but the adults in the room who complain when appropriate instead of being offended at facts of life.
Kind of owning the term SJW in all its left coded glory!
The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment about whether if it is an object, after having had all its original components replaced, remains the same thing.
You looked at the original blueprints for hot dogs and said “too much protein, not enough carbs” instead of “I refuse to make two identical sandwiches in parallel”. Both fascinating observations :)
Web visits are ever increasing. Many visitors are regular users, but we expect to encounter astroturfing marketers, coordinated activists for moral and immoral causes, state funded shills, and Large Language Models. But outside of an obvious paper trail in someone’s comment history, (self doubt + stupidity over malice).
If it’s possible to make a great clear point without getting angry, it may have a better shot at converting an idiot or someone yet-to-be-educated to your side. Other times you’ll waste your effort on bad faith actors. It’s a balance and nobody’s perfect. And in the right communities and at the right times, there’s no need to even really try. It’s all what we make of it, but adding this small shoutout to the potential benefits of civility.

The US stat is so bad you easily believe it when attributed to stereotypical evil regime.
Then you’re reminded that same evil thing is actually something the US is currently doing.
I’m glad we don’t just kill everyone we arrest, I’m glad we’re not ruled by a dictator… still, I wish the average person viewing a meme weren’t able to easily believe something we do was actually done by someone we vaguely recall learning was the worst.

That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says (www.pcgamer.com)
Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn't even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.
