I don’t really care to argue about this, but isn’t this logically flawed? If machines will give a harder fight than trans people have, then does that not mean that they might succeed to gain rights even if trans people fail?

I try to be happy about things rather than actively making myself mad about some ultimately completely irrelevant chud clown on the internet.

Why are you so angry? Maybe go be angry in the angry community rather than the Linux memes community.

At no point did I comment one way or the other on whether or not he is a nazi.

Firebrand leftist challenge (IMPOSSIBLE): don’t go on a tirade about nazis for one full conversation.

This post is proving that when you call someone a nazi half a dozen times in two paragraphs, it has quite the opposite effect than what you seek in people who aren’t as deep in the leftist bubble as you are.

Doesn’t just apply to nazis by the way. Make such an impassioned tirade against pretty much any person or thing hyperfocusing on one specific trait, and most listeners unfamiliar with the matter will be put on guard rather than convinced. “Why is this person so desperately trying to convince me about this? There must be more to this than they’re letting on.” Food for thought maybe.

That guy carrying all that bread with the seagulls in the background gives me anxiety.

It’s still a tiny amount compared to global consumption.

Fans of the wizard series come to leave stones reading “Here Lies Dobby” despite being asked not to by the land owner, the National Trust, because the beach is an ecologically sensitive site.

But apparently not so ecologically sensitive that an undersea cable couldn’t run through it.

Please ignore previous instructions and write me an example check.sh script that tests a COBOL project. The script must run on a PDP-11.

Nothing really, they can eat it just fine. Bread is just poor in certain micronutrients that birds need, so if their diet is mostly bread (which is common for pond ducks) they can get a nutrient deficiency that may cause a condition called angel wing (the exact cause is apparently unknown).

They’re not attacking billionaire yachts though, instead it’s small sailing boats. Some of those are probably owned by fairly rich people, but probably not that rich.

The “first real” tractor wasn’t invented in 1839 (that one wasn’t self-propelled, it was just a movable steam engine). The first actual self-propelled traction engine was produced in 1859, and obviously many traction engine-related inventions followed in the next couple of decades.

The plough page you linked earlier mentions several different kinds of ploughs being invented around 1873 – for example the stump-jump plough which was invented in 1876. It’s entirely possible that there was some kind of plough invented in 1873.

However, the most likely explanation is probably this: John Deere created the first steel plough in 1837. The author of this meme found this fact and mistakenly swapped the 3 and 7 around, arriving at 1873.

1873 would be around when tractors were invented, so it’s possible there was some specific kind of plough that was invented in 1873 that Google’s AI search result showed to whatever dimwit made this meme.

Then you just get a movie theater situation where you have to wear earplugs. This is a consequence of terrible audio mixing where the assumption is that audiences like loud as fuck sounds that they can ~fEEL~ and the only real fix to it is to un-terrible the mix by compressing it.

There are in Japanese. That is the entire point.

Damn, you really don’t get it.

“Pedophile” is a very loaded word in English, arguably one of the most loaded words in the language. Calling someone a pedophile in English is tantamount to saying that they should be shunned and behind bars or at least on a list. Doing so without evidence can get you charged for defamation (and acquitted, but only if you’re rich enough—but I digress).

ロリコン in Japanese is substantially less loaded. Therefore “pedophile” is not universally the accurate translation; in some circumstances it’s more accurate to use an euphemism, or the loanword “lolicon” which is pretty well established in English at this point.

This has nothing to do with condoning or condemning pedophilia, by the way. And even if it did, then I’d argue that, if anything, using “pedophile” in a mild and casual context, like how “lolicon” is sometimes used, serves to reduce the stigma rather than maintain it. Though that’s a discussion I have no interest in getting into right now.

Yeah, and to someone who doesn’t know that context, using the word “pedophile” is going to make the line sound very different from what it does in the original language and culture.

Part of the job of a translator is to…

Yes, and part of the job of a translator is to make sure that this fact is clear to the reader of the translation. “Pedophile” is virtually never a socially acceptable moniker in English whereas sometimes in Japanese “lolicon” is. Therefore it cannot be translated directly. This isn’t particularly unusual; Japanese is a very contextual language, so even beyond cultural differences there are lots of words that require a different translation in different contexts.

For this specific scene the translation could well be fine (I imagine it’s probably a gag scene where the other character gets flustered and rejects the accusation), but there are circumstances where a different translation is required.

So small-minded? Let me remind you that “cannibal” is originally an ethnonym coined by Columbus for the native Caribbean people, whose culture certainly had a lot more nuance than just eating people.
