No, you're wrong. Period.
Being transgender, like any mental illness, requires sympathy and care - not pretend-endorsement for political points and virtue signaling.

It's no more deserving of "respect" than any other human being, but it is worthy of pity. Some wiring has gone wrong in their heads; that's not their fault.

It's not 2022. Only the truly dogmatic believes that silly shit any more.

I didn't say evolution considered anything an error.
That would be stupid, evolution is a process.

But certainly a mutation that causes insanity IS an error in human evaluation..that is, unless the insanity has a political faction, then we'll shriek 1+1=3 because, well, politics.

Numerous teenagers look at the analog clock on the wall in my business and then ask me what time it is.

I love you guys.
Dawkins when attacking Christianity and religion is a super genius, insightful, brilliant ... Until the moment he departs from the canon, now he's a fucking liar and obviously stupid.

Impossible.... IMPOSSIBLE that you might be wrong.

The frothing left can't stop itself from the purity spiral, driving even your allies right. Dawkins himself had to start looking at his intellectual allies and realize they might be the baddies.

You are great. Keep it up. Never change and certainly never, ever doubt yourself.

There are two sexes. Period.
Anything else is, by definition, aberrant & basically broken. Yes, biology makes many errors. Usually they die. Sometimes they don't.

It doesn't mean transgenders should be mistreated, they deserve our pity and whatever help they can get to be happy in their lives.

But fortunately the world has moved on from this absurd delusion that if you really really really pretend you're a donkey, you MUST BE ONE. That's silly. And... basically insane.

The process is such that the IEEPA refunds will proceed with the liquidation of the imports.

Customs basically finally closes a file (liquidates) about 315d after the entry. So if something was imported on July 1 2025, then May 12 2026 it would liquidate.
Importers having filed their CAPE data (which was super easy, took me about 15 mins for more than 1200 entries), those entries will be flagged for the return of the IEEPA duties plus interest, which is a usual customs thing.

Note that 'issuing the refund' and getting the refund $ actually might take a bit. Some brokers are suggesting it might take up to 60d for the funds to flow, or, it could just be CBP is awaiting June1, as the White House still has a chance to protest the CITA court ruling until then. (There is no suggestion they will but still, better to wait then have to un-de-retro-re-bill people for refunds that need to come back or whatever.)

Short version, it's not like these companies will suddenly get a giant pile of refunds; they will trickle back at (approximately) the frequency they went out last year.

"rent-seeking, gatekeeping storefronts taking 30% of every developer's revenue."

Right, so Steam should just build a massive distribution network for free then?
Literally nobody HAS to use their service to publish or buy computer games. It's flamingly successful because both developers and consumers get what they particularly want from such a service.

If it's so easy, build your own, charge 20% and drive steam out of business.

Your computer creates a copy of the article to show on your screen when you load the article.

I'm sure that the average Mac user who just wants to do pointy-pointy-clicky-clicky is going to go to the command line and start typing stuff to install a program that he expects to just show up on his screen.

The mere fact that it doesn't just show up that way tends to delegitimize it in his eyes, plus the fact that even the command "brew" (as in "homebrew" or "witches brew, perhaps?) would add a dash of skepticism.

So yes, it's likely possible to install a program on your Mac without going through the Apple ecosystem. You say it is, I'll take your word for it.

But it's a hurdle that many users won't cross, due to a lack of knowledge or a lack of confidence, neither of which is exactly their fault since Macs are sold and advertised as a kind of an appliance rather than a general purpose computer.

"Best answer here would have been Don Ho doing a Mac port of Notepad++ himself. I mean, why not?"

There could be a number of reasons.

Two examples are:

1. He may not be interested in Mac programming and/or supporting Apple's closed ecosystem.

2. He may not be prepared to purchase a Mac and pay Apple their ongoing fees for development and distribution of Mac applications.

I'm sure you can think of others.

And as her +70.9% gains in 2024 were somewhat extraordinary, Nancy Pelosi spawned a host of similar apps - I believe autopilot has subsequently been broadened to include other lawmakers of both parties.

Compute magazine used to print program listings (as did a lot of the old computer magazines) and they had a program called MLX for entering Commodore 64 programs.

You entered the numbers from the magazine line by line and the last number on each line was a checksum for that line.

It worked really well. I remember typing in pages and pages of numbers and eventually ending up with the Speedscript word processor.

FWIW I fully agree with you that the PEOPLE of other races aren't themselves the problem.

The problem is the exploitative cleave-lines that leaves for opportunism in democracies. It's so much easier to blame easily-visually-identifiable "others" than actually address much more subtle and pervasive issues like poverty, drug abuse, etc.

I'd point to immigration as an example. The US is quite literally a nation of immigrants.
The most patriotic people I know are 0th or 1st-gen immigrants.The problem they immediately identify is that now the centrifugal forces seem to be winning - instead of new immigrants being encouraged to become American, they're pushed into factional enclaves and the melting pot is lost. (Their comments, not mine.)

LOL "flamebait" for describing the immediate replies accurately.

Pardon me for calling a spade a spade. I didn't mean to offend.

Is this AI that will run locally on your own hardware (like llama-ccp and so on) or is it a way to sell you time on someone else's AI?
