Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 05/10/2026As a non-American this is basically the opposite of my perception. If anything, Americans are the most likely (of the western cultures) to be willing to work on themselves to achieve x or y. Maybe self improvement doesn’t map 1:1 on the point made here, but still, weird sentiment imo 1151 15
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Prior to LLMs no one thought we were „next token predictors“. Now that LLMs are all the rage the way they work is supposed to be a description how human thinking works? That doesn’t make much sense. I don’t think humans are „special“, but that doesn’t mean LLMs are like humans. 280 8
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I really hope that it works out as much as it can in this fucked up situation. Hopefully there will be enough politicians with enough humanity and spine to stop this cruelty 011 1
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Not only are analogies bad I also butchered it. I meant „to reject the shovel even though that would thwart the excavator„ 000 0
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I am not in the affected group so I won’t speak for anyone else, but I could understand why you might reject the shovel to shovel your own grave to thwart the excavator. yeah, the excavator is faster and more cruel, but the alternative is still working on shoveling your own grave. 210 2
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 14/09/2026But that cuts both ways. If Talarico wins it’ll validate his anti-trans messaging strategy and encourage other dems to adopt it. It’s lose-lose and I can understand the despair if „your“ candidates turn on you after the primary 120 2
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Thats the neat thing: it’s lose-lose. If Talarico wins it confirms the strategy of throwing trans people under the bus. If he loses, it’s trans people’s fault. Just great 0190 19
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 13/09/2026And, yes there are good reasons for that to have consequences. Otherwise, as a minority group, you just line up to be thrown under the bus again and again. And whats in it for you? You get normalization of anti-minority rhetoric as a reward. Congratulations! 0340 34
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 13/09/2026With Platner the argument was that it was all known at the primary and he won it and you just have to accept that and vote for him! But that argument doesn’t work when they change their tune after the primary. a candidate doesn’t have a divine right to votes of a party because they won the primary 1390 39
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 12/09/2026If I remember correctly the governor of Utah refused to sign certain anti trans legislation 130 3
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Applied to the US: How do you expect some Republicans governors who have stood up to trans harassment to continue their stance if even Democrats with anti trans stances get elected? 1100 10
Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I don’t know about shortsighted. Look at the UK. Flaky Labour Party MPs (which should be allies if the LGBTQ community) have conjured the worst situation for trans people in their country in decades. This will give the Tories/Reform even more permission for cruelty going forward. 2300 30
