"A" and "B" would imply that English is superior to other languages. It also implies hierarchy since "A" comes before "B". Chess is sexist because the game ends when the King dies. I say we should ban Chess. Cheers.
In order to enforce social justice you want a group of activists to impose restrictions and police other groups of people? How would they convince those people to give up their freedom?

I hate to do this because the parent is good at letting their dry humor speak for itself. But yes, it's parody.
What's the tell here? I've had people dead serious tell me that the US government is racist for making the lowest value coin brown and putting Lincoln on it.
It's very good. I was looking for a tell, but couldn't find one. They even capitalized "Black" while leaving "brown" lowercase, as is Proper according to progressive style guides.

Was this reply made by an AI? The context of the suggestions seem GPT-3 close...
This is what GPT-3 (davinci, the 175B parameter model) generates for real: * Prompt: ">White’s attack on black is brutal. White is stomping all over black’s defenses. The black king is gonna fall..." Fortunately there's an easy solution: * GPT-3 Response: Just don't play chess! This is the only solution. The reason for this is that the "chess is bad for you" argument is a logical fallacy called "affirming the consequ…
"Chess is bad for you, and those who play chess will be bad for you. Therefore chess is bad for you."
Can't find a flaw in that argument.

#195A friend of mine was banned for sending a chat message that said “this is a Mexican standoff” — the people in the room were both Mexican, if it matters.. we were all confused on why he was permanently banned.
I got flagged by FB for inciting violence when my sister said "Your wife is awesome, I'm going to steal her" and I replied "Haha, I'll fight you au".
At least the human moderator who handled my challenge of it was able to consider context.

> using language that upsets people is bad Shouldn't be. Intent should be the grounds for upset, intent only. Otherwise you get a Euphemism Treadmill, and that's a goddamn fucking waste of time.
It reminds me of all the synonyms and symbols, homophones and homographs Chinese use when referring to mr Xi on Weibo, etc., including the now censored Winnie the Pooh. To get around the censorship which blocks mentioning of me Xi in unflattering light. It’s ever evolving to keep ahead of the censors.

I bet that's why SJ is so focused on AI ethics. They want to abuse the amplifier effect of AI to win battles in the social wars.

I thought of this and realized it'd actually be a fun game. Both players write down their next move and then move simultaneously once both are ready. To avoid race conditions, if a player moves a piece that is to be taken by the opponent's move, then that player has saved that piece with that move. That creates an interesting dynamic where you may not wish to take the most valuable piece if you predict the other play…
"To avoid race conditions", indeed!

Ha! True enough, "a good pun is its reword" ;).

No. What we need is something that is amazingly simple:
* you, a programmer who coded something that caused company X to lose Y dollars because of a "mistake", have to be on a hook for Y dollars.
* you, a manager who managed a project that caused a company X to lose Y dollars because of a "mistake" by your programmer, have to be on a hook for Y dollars.
* you, a product owner who accepted the what the manager of ta project that caused a company X to lose Y dollars because of a "mistake" by your programmer, have to be on a hook for Y dollars.

Yes, I understand that the cost of a mistake is now higher than the loss suffered by X. That's the incentive to ensure that it does not happen because the wives or husbands or partners of the people who would now have to pay are going to ensure that they do not do take that whose wacky ideas and implement them -- wacky ideas are abstract but the loss of nice housing, nice organic food, nice daycare for the kids and nice scholarship fun is real.

Start punishing mistakes and you will soon have a hard time finding good people to employ. Only bad (and broke) ones will be available.
