Can’t Natalie control that exoskeleton remotely with a little gadget like you use for radio controlled toy cars or something?

If all the seats are sold, where exactly are the upper-deck folks “migrating down” to? Are we breaking the laws of physics now as well as the laws of the country?

Yeah, I hate that any message to teenage boys automatically gets a -10 debuff if it’s delivered by a woman. It’s particularly galling when the message itself is about respecting women as people: boundaries, autonomy, consent, etc.

Why do you need to “bristle” at it? Why does it make you feel you need to be defensive? In what way is it threatening or dangerous to your self-concept?

I wonder how many people working in her field and giving these presentations to teenagers are men. Whatever that number is, it should be bigger.

Yeah but they’re the only group who liked it more if it was (unconditionally) proposed by Trump than if it was presented as just policy. The trees are still rooting for the axe because they’re “both made of wood” 🤷‍♀️

What happened to his glasses between the CNN and Fox interviews? I hope he had a tantrum and threw them on the floor and broke them because he was mad that Jake Tapper momentarily became slightly less useless and called him on his lies

It hasn’t escaped notice that the vast majority of these AI models are female-coded. (The reasons are varied, but all of them are sexist.) I wonder if men would be as easily fooled by a male-coded model, when they don’t feel as socially safe and superior.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

It is wild, WILD that you look at that and think it’s misandry (which is barely more than a theoretical concept, in comparison to very real and often deadly misogyny). And it “set you off,” did it? Did it occur to you (obviously not) that you are not the main character here?

“I learned it by watching you” hits harder for me, but wasn’t parodied as much, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the other one just broadly got more airtime

Have you missed that the entire point of this conversation is that men’s sense of entitlement to women’s bodies is part of rape culture, and you are defending and promoting that with your comment? I am literally astonished at how tone-deaf this is.
