Oop, I was too tired when I wrote this lol
I feel like this community might get more out of something like Cromite vs Mull comparison. Does anyone on Lemmy, especially the privacy community, actually use Google Chrome?
Awesome that you’re doing this though regardless. I’ve saved this post and look forward to reading your work
This is such a weak take. It’s constantly getting more efficient, and it’s already extremely helpful- It’s been incorporated into countless applications. OpenAI might go away, but llms and genai won’t. I run an open source local llm to automate most of my documentation workflow, and that’s not going away
I’m guessing you’re a cis man? It would actually be a meaningful change for a lot of women and nonbinary people, even if subconscious.
Personally, I get a little bit annoyed every time I read/hear the general use of “men,” and that would change if we change that one word in the constitution, so not literally nothing
I understand that historically “men” was used to refer to humans in general, but language evolves, and it’s important to use terms that are explicitly inclusive. By saying “persons” instead of “men,” it ensures everyone feels represented/included, and reinforces that these rights apply to every individual (bc they used to not, and lots of folks still want them to only apply to cishet white men)
It’s absolutely not nitpicking, it’s inclusive
(Not my art)

Equus simplicidens, also known as the Hagerman horse, lived around 4 million years ago in North America and is considered an ancestor of modern horses, zebras, and donkeys[3][5]. These animals relied on speed, stamina, and herd behavior for protection against predators such as early wolves and big cats[3]. Their survival was supported by strong social structures and collective awareness[3]. Over time, Equus species migrated to other continents via land bridges[4]. They eventually went extinct in North America around 10,000 years ago during the Pleistocene extinction event[1][2][4]. Horses were later reintroduced to the continent by humans in the late 15th century[4].

Fucking rekt, gd, do y’all have some history?
In the context of speedrunning, Super Mario 64 has various completion categories, including 16-star, 70-star, and 120-star runs. The 16-star run, which this user completed, uses specific glitches and techniques to access the final Bowser fight with fewer stars than normally required
Idk, I’ve had three clients diagnosed with schizophrenia and, while one was fairly racist, the other 2 were rad as hell, and I don’t think the bigotry had anything to do with the racist one’s mental health- just culture.
In fact, I think bigotry is a pretty normal human thing to experience. Psychotic symptoms (and poor mental health in general) can certainly lead to and exacerbate bigotry, but I don’t think pathologizing bigotry itself makes much sense. I mean yeah if someone is experiencing bigoted delusions/obsessions/compulsions/etc then we should call that what it is, but bigotry itself is typically better explained by culture and natural human behavior
Edit: but I do like the idea of coopting it. I think it would be hilarious to respond to someone using it as a dog whistle with something like “haha I’m [autistic/ADHD/BP/etc] too.” I think that would really rustle their jimmies
Oof, I thought it was a joke about psychosis and immediately shared it with my BP1 peeps
Those damn type 12 liberals
Ik it’s nothing new, but the passive language is astounding
