your phone can't work if your carrier doesn't know where you are

on top of that, advertisers put bluetooth receivers everywhere, which will log your phone as having been nearby, even if you don't connect

on top of that, you can do the same bluetooth trick with wifi endpoints

plus your phone has a gps/glonass/whatever receiver in it

probably other reasons too but those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head

yes you can maybe mitigate all of these, but there are probably ones i haven't thought of that people much smarter than me have, so why take the risk?

Because the meaningful difference is socially created.

and how much bargaining power do you think that the trans community collectively has in society?

and before you answer, i don't mean "on twitter". e.g., dave chappelle has been cancelled on twitter, but still gets his own netflix specials and is seemingly friends with the richest person on the planet. jk rowling is still a billionaire that lives in a literal castle.

why are you the way that you are?

just like the cop that thinks he’s doing good but doesn’t tell on his coworkers when they do something horrible

not telling on your coworkers because they did do something is very different from not telling on your coworkers because they didn't do something

everything else in your experience unfortunately seems to be a failing of society rather than a failing of individuals

And in the "actual" order of operations, if we want to pretend one exists, 2( binds more tightly than ÷

if you're going via prescriptivism, then you're wrong, because there are plenty of authoritative sources following the left hand model

if you're going via descriptivism, then you're wrong, because this thread exists

any AI person training their algorithms on AI generated data is liable to get fired

though this isn't pertinent to the post in question, training AI (and by AI I presume you mean neural networks, since there's a fairly important distinction) on AI-generated data is absolutely a part of machine learning.

some of the most famous neural networks out there are trained on data that they've generated themselves -> e.g., AlphaGo Zero

no obviously not that's not how tax deductions work

similarly to how i'm against corporations being able to donate to politicians, i'd be against corporations being able to donate in such a way that they could influence the school syllabus even if it literally cost them more than the recipient got

  • take hardline position you know your opponent will never agree with
  • say you'll do X if they don't agree
  • opponent obviously doesn't agree
  • you do X

you're right we should take everything the kremlin says at face value

you can be a communist or socialist without being an apologist for every action ever taken by any state even vaguely connected to the ussr

please could you clarify what you'd like them to compromise on?
