Maybe the onus should be on LLM developers to filter out trash like this from their training datasets

At any rate, it's extremely unhelpful to not include a version number at the very very least

Your eugenic sentiments aside, if you want people to have fewer babies, you don't just tell them to stop fucking; you teach them how to use contraception and make it as accessible as possible.

We can take a look at what Republicans do without a majority: stall for time, attack the moral character of the opposition, find loopholes in the procedural process that you're technically not disallowed to do but annoy the shit out of everyone, and generally be as obstructionist as possible.

Weight wouldn't go up exponentially, but cubically. x^3 vs x^x

Wow, it's almost as if someone being bad can be for multiple reasons!

Years back, I had that happen on PayPal of all websites. Their account creation and reset pages silently and automatically truncated my password to 16 chars or something before hashing, but the actual login page didn't, so the password didn't work at all unless I backspaced it to the character limit. I forgot how I even found that out but it was a very frustrating few hours.

"The vibe" is more or less wallowing in the feeling of not being able to get a partner, from a feminine perspective and usually in a cutesy "haha I can't socialize and my life is a mess" way. This stands in contrast with many/most male incel communities, which tend to promote resentment and blaming a celibate status on everything but oneself (or pathologically blaming it on an immutable characteristic like one's height or canthal tilt). There is a degree of toxic internalization that can occur either way, but I like to think the humorous nature intended by the posts is a way to vent out the feelings and riff on them with others.

The transfem nature which carries over from the Blahaj instance dovetails with the community's theme, since it is rather difficult for most trans women or similar folks to get into relationships, on account of various circumstances relating to transitioning as an AMAB individual. There are the matters of physical appearance which is a facet of the genetic lottery, plus the social aspects of dating while trans. The dating pool for most trans people is, uh, quite a bit smaller, and shrinks further still when looking for medium/long term partners mainly due to stigma associated with dating trans people (especially to cis men being in a relationship with trans women, and especially if one is visibly trans to the general population, think the whole "is it gay" discourse).

So basically, femcelmemes is about acknowledging these challenges and playfully lamenting the celibate condition they bolster, while also allowing (trans)fems to embrace the girly aesthetic and mode of interaction while doing so. It's a gender-affirming way to cope with the situation, so provides some utility despite the generally self-deprecating nature of the posts made there. One also doesn't even have to be celibate (or even trans) to understand and find amusement in this struggle; you can just kind of vibe with the idea of defiantly girlbossing your way through a depressing time of life.

I hope that helps explain somewhat. I'm maybe not the best spokesperson but I've been following the community for a while at this point. If you have any follow up questions I'd be happy to try and provide my best understanding of things.

So am I supposed to flip the sushi over to dip the fish side in the soy sauce? That seems a bit awkward

This fits the "leftist meme wall of text" archetype to a T

I just had to. Would make for a nice bumper sticker if it didn't get you shot down here
