Die hard Democrats would never have voted for him anyway.

The issue is not getting Democrats to not vote for Trump, the issue is getting Democrats to vote.

To be fair, this is far from Trump’s first crime.
Forgive us for thinking that doing the same thing might not lead to different results.

Not if he murdered Bob’s family. Conservatives start caring once it actually affects them personally (they have a gay child and suddenly support gay rights). If he murdered Bob’s neighbors though Bob would still vote for him.

State Department official resigns after Biden administration says Israel not blocking Gaza aid (www.middleeasteye.net)

A career State Department official resigned from her post on Tuesday, saying she could no longer work for the Biden administration after it released a report concluding that Israel was not preventing the flow of aid to Gaza....

Trump is a nightmare and must be stopped at all costs.

That doesn’t mean there can’t be calls for Biden to do better or call him out for blatant lies.

In what reality is the person refusing to lie to cover up human rights abuses the bad guy?

'Confused' Judge Cannon needed concept explained 'slowly' to her in court by lawyers: NYT (www.rawstory.com)

As part of an analysis of how U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon, reports from her courtroom show a judge who is both “prickly” and" insecure" and often has trouble understanding what lawyers from both sides try to explain to her....

The problem also is it’s up to the onlookers to decide who “won”.

I’m not sure if the prosecutors had any standing to have her recused.

Maybe not at the time, but how about now?

“Biden is so bad that Trump might actually get elected” is not the defence of Republicans that you think it is.

Calling my arguments

Oh, so you have an argument now?

Nobody arguing in good faith says:

What’s my argument? I’m listening.

If you feel like your argument has been misinterpreted, or that a counter argument is irrelevant, someone who is arguing in good faith would restate their argument to indicate why the counter argument was irrelevant. Not “guess what my argument is” so that they can avoid stating something that would have to actually defend.

Every comment you’ve made since I pointed that out has been ad hominem tu quoque, or a ‘no, you.’

Your entire post was a “no you”. Pointing out your insincerity and hypocrisy is not a tu quoque, because I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I’m just pointing out your insincerity and hypocrisy.

Everything I have said is in good faith

Ah yes, that classic markers of someone having a good faith discussion:

If you want to feel better about your choices I’m not the one you need to convince.

Downvote if you can’t refute!

unlike you I have a philosophy of live and let live.

(There’s another of your trademark ad hominem attacks!)

You keep at it though, I believe in you!

Cool, thanks. Very helpful. Loving talking to you, it’s been so constructive.

The world is full of things that have nothing to do with you. Instead of getting bent out of shape about it you can just move along. You don’t get the reference? Keep scrolling, it’s not for you.

You guys are so funny! Okay so FOUR semi-pointy teeth absolutely makes us omnivores I CANNOT believe what an idiot I’ve been!

Are you a conservative by chance?

Was that meant as an ad hominem? I thought you didn’t like those.

Garbage was a reference to what you were adding to the “discussion”, not you as a person, so doesn’t qualify as ad hominem.

Same for gibbering nonsense.

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes, you add garbage into the conversation (disingenuous questions) and you get garbage out (me ignoring the question).

That’s another word you got wrong. I’m not sidestepping anything. I am blatantly ignoring it.

Or is it only fun when you’re doing it?

I’m just having a good time.

If you’re done with the ad hominem

What ad hominem is that?

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

If you don’t even know then I guess you’re just gibbering nonsense.

OP posted a meme poking fun at people who unironically say things like that.

Who is saying that? Maybe OP should be posting this in response to them, not somewhere unrelated with no context.

If OP isn’t making an argument then this is the definition of a Strawman: OP created an argument to disprove with their meme.

As they say: garbage in, garbage out.

Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

I do not consider guided pattern recognition to be intelligence.

Humanity has entered the chat

Seriously though, what name would you suggest?

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

Calling it Bob is not going to help discourage people from attributing intelligence. They’ll start wishing “Bob” a happy birthday.

Do not personify the machine.

@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

I get the analogy you’re trying to make, but maybe want to switch to something else.

Like any other vaccine?

I was curious if they actually bothered to define what “woke” is. Obviously they don’t, you can’t define the boogey man.

I did find their “how do we rate things” page and the first criteria is: “do they donate to social justice causes.”

How do you literally say “I am against social justice” and think you’re the good guy?

It is good to design to account for stupidity

Is the rock or sign putting people in danger? I’d argue they account for stupidity by stopping the people who aren’t paying attention and shouldn’t be driving right now.

The dangerous driver is stopped on an inanimate object instead of causing an accident and no one is hurt.

This is an ad-hominem fallacy. You are mistaking arguments against the company as attacks on Elon Musk. There are valid reasons to be concerned that humans are being used as guinea pigs and risking their lives with untested technology. There is the valid fact that people have already been playing games on Twitch “with their mind” using EGS.

Just because Elon Musk is a piece of shit that doesn’t invalidate these arguments. It’s possible to both hate Elon Musk and have a valid argument. Defending a billionaire does not dismiss these concerns.
