I think you've brought up some good points for me to think about. Could you point me in the right direction for the studies you are referring to? I wouldn't mind looking at them myself.

I don't agree with either side in today's climate. I go as an independent. There are pieces of good policy on both sides.

I'm not a fan of Trump, not a fan of Biden. Voted Biden because I definitely didn't want Trump.

Thank you for taking the time responding. I appreciate your thoroughness. If that's the case with the surgeries, than it doesn't seem as bad considering it's the age limits that are regularly there.

From what I've experienced, people just say I'm wrong, not explain themselves. Most people in the comment section seem to have painted me as outright evil and done the exact same thing.

I do have some reservations due to how I see the trans movement portraying themselves as a whole. I'm being called for completely falling for the propaganda, but that goes both ways. For example, I'm pretty sure there isn't sufficient evidence to prove puberty blockers are completely reversible. That would take at least maybe 10 years to get good initial data, but it would probably need to be a long term study that goes even longer.

Back to my original point I was making, there are extremes on both sides I think are absolutely crazy. Just as you point out that the information from the side I lean on more definitely has some ridiculous things stated, same is for the other side. Unfortunately, those are the loudest usually.

I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate the time you took to write out your response. It was refreshing to see.

I feel like I just stumbled upon a self projection loop.

What's wrong with people here?!?!

I don't agree banning abortion but saying all republicans are evil is a faaaar stretch. I think the far left is just as insane as the far right.

Just look at what's been going on with the trans kid stuff. Why the hell would you permanently alter a child via surgery so young?

Chill out and realize there are crazies on both sides.

The shopping cart one is better because it's literally just barely more time / effort. Fair trade stuff can be expensive compared to their counterpart. People in rougher financial situations really can't make that choice every time.

There was a period of time where I was too lazy to re-hook up my main PC to everything. I just hooked up my Steam Deck instead via a USB C hub.

It was then that I realized I don't really use my main gaming PC anymore. I just play on the Steam Deck and almost everything else is just general use most of the time.

Since then, I found I still prefer to do some tinkering on a way the Steam Deck isn't very good at, so I been thinking of selling off my PC and buying a capable laptop to have that extra ease as I found I don't need the extra performance anymore.

Wasn't that due to someone manually activating it because they thought there was an actual credible threat?

Might be misremembering though.

Wouldn't it make more sense to find ways on how to utilize the tool of AI and set up criteria that would incorporate the use of it?

There could still be classes / lectures that cover the more classical methods, but I remember being told "you won't have a calculator in your pocket".

My point use, they should prepping students for the skills to succeed with the tools they will have available and then give them the education to cover the gaps that AI can't solve. For example, you basically need to review what the AI outputs for accuracy. So maybe a focus on reviewing output and better prompting techniques? Training on how to spot inaccuracies? Spotting possible bias in the system which is skewed by training data?

It seems like a lot of people here don't understand that circumstances might be different in different places. This post itself assumes the only reason is to transport people, but the truck can do more than that.

If I lived in a rural place and needed something that could tow, transport, and go over tougher terrain, I could see the usefulness of having a truck around. Not everything is in a comfy city where everything is within a couple miles.

Now where I currently live, I'd never dream of getting a truck like that. So much hassle and the roads are too small. But I could see it being useful for someone else.

Correlation isn't causation. Example, we all have drunk water. Everyone dies at some point. I found correlation that drinking water causes death 100% of the time.

The number of guns isn't the issue, it's what he's choosing to do with them. There are legitimate reasons to own them that are not malicious. Gun collection for example. There are some wacky designs out there. Look up the forgotten weapons YouTube channel for examples.

I still can't wrap my head around how she didn't even realize what she was doing. I suppose that's just how some things are.
