Now how do you suppose anyone’s gonna touch it if its 600 meters underwater?

When were you circumcised? I’m guessing as a child. Your own parents weren’t satisfied with your penis. It’s fine to accept that you were the victim of a irreversible religious genital modification without your consent and that it doesn’t define you and you won’t let it ruin your life. But making a point of arguing that you’re actually totally okay, that other people are obsessed with your penis specifically and that circumcision as a whole isn’t that bad and kind of passively endorsing it is not fine and betrays a much deeper insecurity on your part than whatever accusations you’re projecting onto me. Nonmedical circumcision has been condemned by the overwhelming majority of the world for centuries, and continues to be so today

But it’s cleaner and easier to manage

Both complete lies btw

Your penis doesn’t work just fine if you were circumcised. You are one of the brainwashed people I was talking about.

Read about the function of the foreskin, which is way more than a bit of hanging skin on the end of your member, it’s a sensitive and double-sided tissue that keeps your internal bits where they belong.

In my experience, the strongest critics of MGM are victims of circumcision. There are some brainwashed people who don’t see what the big deal is, but people with normal penises (and women) don’t seem to care much one way or the other.

Genital mutilation is weird, doubly so when it’s for a religion you don’t even follow

You thought PPP inflation was bad?

Even Ed Zitron has mellowed out in the last year with the rationalist opinion of “it’s a probabilistic model being asked to do deterministic things,” and “it makes the easy things easier and the harder things harder.”

The overwheling majority of “anti AI” comments I see are either 1) anti LLM, B) anti hyperscaler business / marketing practices, C) anti data center, or usually D) any combination of the above. Very little about the objective, architectural functions of language models.

If you want a machine learning model that actually works, you need to feed it good data. If you hire an AI slop enthusiast to feed the model mass junk data, you will have a bad time.

You understand the strawmanning and logical fallacy here right? A person can appreciate novel technologies from afar, understand when/if theyre appropriate for their job, and then do their unrelated work just fine without a personality purity test

I deadass got called ableist on here once for saying theres no excuse to not be using an ad blocker because of someone’s “executive dysfunction”

Lmao okay smooth brain. I tested in the 99th percentile on my last test. I wasnt even at my peak cognitive powers and I wasnt mentally challenged at all.

Its whatever I say it is to get rid of people who annoy me

Low IQ people shouldn’t breed and I believe this 100% at this point

E: this is literally the argument of Idiocracy btw

If you highlight every other word it loses it’s significance

Lol. I cannot actually believe I’ve spent so much of my evening talking about a fart “Gas Chamber” but here it goes:

I want to reiterate my basic stance that I might have phrased a bit emotionally before.

I do not think this idea is coming from a good place / a good perspective on the respect given to kids and the dignity owed to them as people.

Talking axiomatically here: all people, from the age/development that they’re able to do so, are owed an inalienable privacy in the bathroom, available to their privilege whenever they want it. I believe this entirely.“Bathroom breaks” and permissions are reprehensible in this respect. I want to clarify now that I don’t think that this privacy doesn’t also include farting. This itself is pretty tautological to me. It gets filed under the same folder. My specific argument here is that people have a right to fart wherever they want (in private) and that the structure of this “Gas Station” takes that away at the convenience of the teacher.

I don’t think you took away the point I was trying to make about your office so I’ll skip over it.

From the article:

The spot features air freshener sprays and a yellow sign warning visitors that they are entering a “gusty winds area.”

There’s a sort of gross infantilization here that’s hard to articulate but that I hope you can infer some of what I’m talking about. This is not how bathrooms are designed. However well-intentioned the teacher might have been, she has massively overestimated her ability for objectiveness. There’s a condescension here that does not show respect for a person’s right to handle natural bodily functions in a neutral, nonjudgmental environment, which I believe is effected entirely by her position as loco parentis to the kids. Her objectiveness is compromised and her special relationship with the subject of her design (the “Fart Box”) has been detrimental to it’s end result / intentioned-use.

I dont see any functional difference tbh. Is this something you would want your office to implement? It’s really not more complicated than that for me

This is literally exactly what I’m arguing for. Having a stickered “Gas Station” with complimentary bottles of Febreze (already inappropriate for a classroom where other kids might have sensitivities to those things) is grossly infantilizing.

The idea that a “Gas Station” in the corner “teach[es] students personal maturity” assumes that kids don’t even yet have maturity to go to the bathroom on their own, that that is something the instructor needs to teach.

FFS privacy in the bathroom is a human right

Instead of sending students out into the hallway, the setup allows children to handle their needs without asking for permission or disrupting the lesson.

​> “If they have to relieve themselves, they will just simply get up off of the rug, and they will walk back to that corner right there where you see that little yellow sign. And of course, we have everything they need over here,” Sydney-Browning said in her video while pointing to the sprays.

​> The goal of the station is to prevent lost learning time and teach students personal maturity.

This is the mentality of someone who doesn’t see children as people

I would’ve volunteered this information for free. No grant money wasted
