You even double qualified it, prefacing with “I believe”

What an ass

Lately, I’ve had some coworkers empowered by AI in really cool ways, building mockups using code they can’t personally write to present to me, an actual engineer. Not with the expectations of a final product, but to express their thoughts and ideas and how they would envision a project moving forward. I think that’s a really cool and exciting use of AI, allowing non-technical people to better communicate with technical people.

Then I see crap like this and think “we need to burn this shit down immediately.”

MAGA, yes, but the disease that caused it all will still fester.

To be fair, we will have full self driving by the end of the year, according to Elon every single year for the last decade.

The problem is the door locks are electric, so if the car loses low voltage power, the buttons to open the doors no longer work. Worse yet, the Model 3 only has emergency physical latches in the front seats, so good luck in the back, kids.

For sure, people just seem to think if someone’s from California, they must be a bleeding heart liberal, when that’s very much not the case.

California is a shockingly purple state, tbh. The cities just happen to have high enough density to outweigh the rest. Once you leave them, things get really red really quick. It’s basically like Texas, just favouring the other side.

I wasn’t arguing, I was trying to have a discussion. I’ve already told you that I have no desire to police your speech and you just completely ignored me. You’ve angrily built up a crazy strawman argument just to tear it down despite the fact I’m not saying any of the things you seem to think that I am. You don’t even care to try to see anything from someone else’s perspective. Talk about empathy. I’ve shared that I see your point, and agree with it on many levels. You’re a brick wall. Please learn to communicate. Sheesh.

You’re literally having an emotional crash out and there’s no talking with you. You’re projecting your preconceived notions onto me while ignoring anything I say. So I repeat, I hope your day gets better.

I hope your day gets better.

What an amazing non-sequitur. Goodbye.

So no.

Oh god. And to think you stopped reading at the word “ableism” lmao

Do you know what “ableism” means? Like, have you ever stopped to think about it? Can you define it?

It’s not about logic. It’s about you waking up the fact you don’t get to dictate how other people live their lives or how they speak, and your need to do that is nothing more than a power-tripping projection.

Oh dude, I grew up on 4chan. I don’t personally give a single crap how you talk, I’m just saying why it is how it is. I have no desire to control your speech whatsoever.

That’s why this type of identity political nonsense pisses most people off

Pretty sure most people understand the reasoning and move on with their lives.

Anyway, I’m gonna leave you with this and dip now.

Using ableist terminology in quoting a dated joke is more than just “tone.” Everyone should feel welcome on Lemmy, including people with intellectual disability. That type of language marginalizes such people and has moved into being unacceptable. This isn’t stamping out diversity, it’s protecting it.

The logic here is pretty clear, it isn’t just someone randomly playing weird linguistic police. I totally get where you’re coming from, and I agree with you in principle, but I also feel like this particular case is just not the hill to die on.

Is that my dog?

I get that it’s a quote, one that many people find funny, but it is also rooted in ableism and hasn’t exactly aged super well. It’s not like your comment was removed for “wrongthink,” it was removed for violating a social norm that has evolved since that movie came out. Just my two cents. 🤷‍♀️

Ugh. I know the exact gif you’re talking about…

The US does also like genocide though
