It's not even people being offended that creates the rules a lot of the time. If you don't have strict and clear cut rules, it's going to eat up a ton of mod time trying to keep out trolls and people asking the same things repeatedly in bad faith. I liked the split that was on Reddit between an asktransgender group and the groups meant for community.

For me though, I've just never wanted to be in that particular kind of place as a trans person. It takes a lot of energy to constantly answer the unintentionally offensive and invasive questions from all the people in your family, job, and just general day to day life. It's hard to find people who consistently can and want to give time to helping slowly warm people up to the same basic facts that they could find on their own.

Part of the issue it seems like people are having in this thread is that it's really unclear what you mean by nonpolitical help.

I've never experienced any communities calling gender dysphoria beautiful, but I also see that idea as distinct from acknowledging it as a real problem that affects people. I don't think it's in any way political to talk about the fact that gender affirming care is well supported by medical research.

To me it's the best value for price bourbon I've found, and it's very good. I haven't tried very many of their higher end or limited offerings though.

I recently had to build out my business casual wardrobe as well. Madewell has taken so much of my money for both regular clothes and business ones. Decent deals on sale and generally a great quality. I'm also tall, and they tend to offer a tall version of everything which is so lovely.

Zara on sale had some decent deals of meh quality stuff, and I did some last bit of filling out with h&m stuff since the clothes budget was blown. H&m has some stuff that will look good for a bit, but long-term quality isn't great.

This still just feels like a muddying of technical language. If you were to write an article about autopilot killing somebody and use object to refer to them, that's certainly dehumanization, but saying that an object detection algorithm performs poorly on humans doesn't feel like it is.

Part of the problem is that in general we aren't talking about specialized human detection models that incorporate things like pose estimation. Instead it is almost always a general object detection alg, and referring to the same models differently based on the subject just adds muddiness.

I'm mostly familiar with AI within healthcare, and in my workplace, any released model is going to have a number of conversations and evaluations about the technical performance, practical impact on patients, and general ethics of the model. Those conversations blend, but it's harmful to make the language less clear in any one of those contexts.

Anybody dislike the production today even if the race has a great end? It felt like it took so long to see replays of any significant incidents/moves, if we saw them at all.

Plus, it was great to watch the four racing at the end for so long, but why take away the time splits? They just showed like lap times between two drivers at a time for all of it.

I'm also interested in this for using stremio from phones and PCs. Chromecast in particular also kinda sucks due to limited codec support.

Yeah same, except it was later overturned where I live and they came right back. Luckily, at lesser numbers, because more of us were used to bringing our own by then.

The majority of my friends leaving Austin have done so because of state politics. It's hard to feel safe when you're queer in Texas.

Just wanted to add that event digitizing older records these days is better. Some hospitals do make old scanned notes indexed and searchable through OCR now.

Maybe this is the rumored aero stall when drs is on? It seems like there's still some massive aero efficiency differences when the flap opens.

A nice npr segment where they talked about mattress store because there are a bafflingly large number of them.
