You are equating adults reading YA novels to “fascists, abusers, bigots, the ultra wealthy, etc.”
It’s time to admit your argument may have gone off the rails at some point.

So it would be accurate to say: despite JCPOA not being perfect, Trump’s actions have only made the situation worse than if he had left the previously existing agreement in place.
So what has improved about the situation since Trump threw out the JCPOA?
“Not perfect” doesn’t mean it wasn’t batter then the current situation.


Not much civilians can do about it…
So you’re saying the meme is accurate.


They tried to protest
A proper protest doesn’t have an ending time, it has ending conditions.
“We protest until the government stops the war” or “we protest until Trump is removed from office.” Not “We protest until 10pm then go back to work on Monday.”


Statesians on Lemmy want non-statesians to be killed because that is one more method that means they don’t have to get off their asses.


But what about that big bribe that Trump said Iran gave him?


it’s like adding an extra layer of user error.
An extra level of user error that you can’t audit.
I work as an officer manager, an import part of my job is auditing all the contacts and payments to make sure they are being done properly. Then my work also gets audited on a regular basis.
And lot of time and money is spent making sure things are completed properly with the appropriate paperwork so that at any point someone can say “why did X happen?” and find all the related paperwork. AI can’t do that, it’s a black box.


The trick is end users will be held accountable for things their AI does, while corporations and governments will say “an AI did it” and wash their hands of it.

Okay, my biggest issue right with that has nothing to do with Edge.


She was probably given a golden parachute and is set for life.


At which point gas stations will just keep prices the same as people have gotten used to it and blamed Trump for it.
You’re spewing lies
Pot, meet kettle.
Khelif admitted to being male
Again, never actually happened. Only under your definition of male that no one else uses because it is completely useless as a classification.
Giving birth is one way of knowing.
You’ve said there are many ways to know, but somehow can only keep giving the same one. As I’ve said repeatedly: someone who has not given birth cannot know. I guess we should limit women’s sports to people who have been impregnated. That is the only logical conclusion I can come to from your arguments. Why else would you keep bringing up giving birth as “one way” (the only way) to know?
Please stop acting mentally disabled.
And some abelism for good measure. I’m expect to believe you are rational, level headed, and empathetic when this is how you respond to someone who disagrees with you?
Of course. You’ve argued about this and defended Rowling for days, but when I refuse to let you shift the argument and insist you defend your arguments it’s suddenly unimportant and a waste of time.
This is all a digression from the fact that Khelif is self-admittedly male.
Not what Khelif has said in the slightest. You’re trying to distract from your argument defining her as such.
Khelif made a statement.
You responded to that with the erroneous statement “that makes Khelif male”.
I’ve been responding directly to your statemen, and you’re saying that’s a digression despite it being your entire argument, because you can’t actually defend it. You’re stating it as a fact, and when questioned claim that it doesn’t matter while continuing to assert it as fact.
So far we have determined that according to you the only way for someone to know what sex they are is if they have a child or get genetically tested. What bathroom should I use? Don’t know because I haven’t had a child. My niece wants to join an after school sports team, guess we better have them genetically tested first so we know what team they are allowed to be on, because unless she gets pregnant there is no other way to tell.
The whole “people who menstruate” thing is peak idpol and designed to waste our time arguing about it instead of developing class consciousness.
“She’s not a bigot, just a power hungry oligarch?”
Okay, so we can both agree she’s a piece of shit and people shouldn’t be helping her acquire more wealth?
So until someone has a child it is impossible to know their sex without genetic testing? Still seems absurd to have any rules or polices regarding sex. How can we separate children by sex if we don’t know their sex?
American exceptionalism. They are the best country ever! Therefore, the way they are doing things is the best way it could possibly done, nothing could possibly be done differently, and anyone saying anything to the contrary must be foreign agents trying to undermine the best country ever!
You are moving the argument. I am talking specifically of her complaints about the term “people who menstruate”. That is not a “situation in which sex and gender rights are in tension with each other”, is has nothing to do with women having sex-specific places, nor someone who is biologically male wanting access to one of those spaces. It has nothing to do with protecting women.
This is all as relevant as saying “She’s not transphobic, she is against stealing.” That’s all well and good, but completely irrelevant to this specific instance of transphobic bigotry that I am talking about.
Some women don’t menstruate
Correct
but a sex-based definition doesn’t exclude them from being “real women”
Agreed
They’re just women who don’t menstruate.
Therefore, if you were using the phrase “people who menstruate” the “correct” term for that would in fact not be “women” because there are women who do not menstruate.
I will agree with you on one point however:
You don’t have to agree with her worldview, but it’s overall coherent.
Correct, it is the worldview of a bigot.
Reading YA novels does not mean they have a “child’s mind”. Rest and relaxation are also things to value, people cannot be “on” 100% of the time and having unchallenging fiction as a way to unwind is a better use of time than social media. (Speaking of holding up mirrors…)
