The problem when it comes to the current situation in the US, is that these protests already came baked in to the Project 2025 plan from the start.
They’re not going to change their minds on anything as a result of the protests because they already knew there’d be mass protests before Trump signed a single order.

I live in a slightly less developed country where as far as 90% of the population are concerned, Facebook is the internet.
I hate it with a passion, but if I don’t have a login then there’s no way for me to find details of pretty much any business or event in the city.
I did a ‘download all your data’ on Facebook a while back and there wasn’t anything about my tracked browser history. Does this mean they’ve also violated the “users should be able to see the data you have on them” article of the GDPR as well?
I’m guessing they’re trying to hide behind weasel shit about the ids being anonymized or something as though it wasn’t trivially easy for them to deanonymize…
The fact that there’s no buckets means that you can’t then usefully draw any further conclusions about the ratio of buckets to things. In your first two examples we can take the results and use them to work out further things like how much might the buckets weigh, what happens if we add more buckets or more things, etc.
In the divide by zero answer, we know nothing about the buckets, and the number of things becomes meaningless. But worse of all is that it’s easy to hide this from the unwary, which is why you occasionally see “proofs” online that 1=2, which rely on hiding divide-by-zero operations behind some sneaky algebra.
When we say we “can’t” divide by zero, we mean ok you can divide by zero, but you’ll get a useless answer that leaves you at a mathematical dead end. Infinity isn’t reversible, or even strictly equal to itself.
I’m amazed at how after 50 years, over 100,000 top-tier software engineers, and $3,500,000,000,000, Microsoft are still so bad at making operating systems.
It’s almost as if Capitalist rhetoric about innovation is bullshit.
In the case of Air Canada, the thing the chatbot promised was actually pretty reasonable on its own terms, which is both why the customer believed it and why the judge said they had to honour it. I don’t think it would have gone the same way if the bot offered to sell them a Boeing 777 for $10.
Yeah, I always found it weird how chatbots were basically a less efficient and less reliable way to access data that’s already on the website but all the companies were racing to get one. People kept telling me that I’m in the minority in being able to find information on a webpage, but I suspect the sort of people who are too dumb to do that aren’t going to have much better luck dealing with the quirks and eccentricies of a chatbot either.
You in turn are overestimating how much effort is required for an established bot farm to add a platform to their system.
I used to see that shit decades ago in the phpBB days, you’d get accounts signing up to a board with 20 active users to post climate change denialist articles, even though the website itself had nothing to do with climate change. (Looking back on it now, the oil lobby was probably the first big user of internet forum astroturfing, but somehow nothing ever came of it…)
I’ve got a pet theory that a hypothetical alien species’ music would be more recognizably similar to humans’ than their biology would.
You could probably set a cap on how many different fingerprinty attributes a script is allowed to grab before requesting permission from the user.
It can’t, but that didn’t stop a bunch of gushing articles a while back about how it had an ELO of 2400 and other such nonsense. Turns out you could get it to have an ELO of 2400 under a very very specific set of circumstances, that include correcting it every time it hallucinated pieces or attempted to make illegal moves.
Many LGBTQ liberated from concentration camps at the end of WW2 were moved straight back into regular jails.
super heros are by defintion rectionary
The other thing that occurs to me is that in most “environmentalist” storylines, the villain’s polluting is done illegally, so the hero already represents the status quo.
Put it this way, none of the writers of the Wikipedia article on him have included mentions of environmentalism anywhere close to the opening paragraphs.
Though ironically enough, given what the thread was originally about, the only reference to a environmental activism I can see in there is one where he infiltrates a gang of eco-terrorists to take them down…
I’m not doubting he’s pro-environment, but my original comment referred to characters defined by their environmentalism, and the fact that you’re pushing him so hard as a candidate off something that’s very much a secondary characteristic proves how thin the field is overall.
Sure, but we’re really in “exception proving the rule” territory where you have to reach back to 1972 for an environmental plotline.
…because he wears green?
Environmentalists in comic books are nearly always deranged villains, and the ones that aren’t are still weak and naïve.
The only strong environmentalist hero in Western canon is Captain Planet, and he’s got sus narc vibes.
Yeah, it was never not going to happen. Shareholders demand unending year-on-year growth at all costs, forever, until everything is shit.
