  • It's very easy to replace Israel with another state in the same place without killing or moving everyone.

    Israel is an ethnostate. Ethnostates are bad. Ethnostates that are religiously motivated are doubly bad.

    Israel could be a secular state that treated all ethnicities equally with zero loss in life or need for anyone to leave the area.

    They chose not to.

    It's not antisemitism to acknowledge this.

  • I'm excited for it for the same reasons.

    I don't have skill in art or coding.

    But AI platforms have let me produce things that work for my personal needs that would be beyond my abilities before starting the project.

  • Florida here checking in.

    Our government is hard at work on this.

    Check out this pending bill up for vote during the next session: https://m.flsenate.gov/session/bill/2024/599/billtext/filed/pdf https://m.flsenate.gov/session/bill/2024/599/billtext/filed/pdf

    Essentially it makes it illegal to be transgender and have a job in government or government adjacent.

    Here is an excert: It is the policy of the state that a person's sex is an immutable biological trait and that it is false to ascribe to a person a pronoun that does not correspond to such person's sex. This section does not apply to individuals born with a genetically or biochemically verifiable disorder of sex development, including, but not limited to, XX disorder of sex development; XY disorder of sex development; sex chromosome disorder of sex development; XX or XY sex reversal; and ovotesticular disorder.

    An employee or a contractor may not be required, as a condition of employment, to refer to another person using that person's preferred personal title or pronouns if such personal title or pronouns do not correspond to that person's sex.
    An employee or a contractor may not provide to an employer his or her preferred personal title or pronouns if such preferred personal title or pronouns do not correspond to his or her sex.
    An employee or a contractor may not be asked by an employer to provide his or her preferred personal title or pronouns or be penalized or subjected to adverse personnel action for not providing his or her preferred personal title or pronouns.

    It continues on about not being able to fire people for thinking being gay is a sin and so on, but I don't want this to be a novel.

  • Some of it stems from religious zealotry (marriage is sacred and permanent).

    Some of it is a misguided attempt at rectify the 'single parent' problem, believing that two unhappy parents is better than one parent divorced.

    Essentially if you make divorce harder, more couples will be forced to work through their disagreements and reconcile.

  • It's just so hard to see where we transition from here.

    We went from a resource economy to a manufacturing economy to a service economy... And now many services are being automated. So what's next?

    I'm in favor of the automation but recognize it's going to cause pain in the near future.

    I've seen people tout a 'creative based economy', but to be honest LLMs and GANs seen poised to grab that sector before anyone in service can transition to it.

    You'd hope all of this would mean an easier life, but so long as capitalism is the name of the game there is zero incentive to spread the benefits among all.

  • ... That is generally how it works where I live, yes.

    Police causalities caused by actions intended to stop a felony are charged to the felon and they are held responsible.

    Not that I fully agree with the unscrutinized part but your analogy isn't the best.
