  • Google is always listening???

    Jump

  • I turned off "ok google" detection in my phone. Still it triggers incorrectly from the car radio sounding similar to "ok google". In theory turning off the detection should mean that the assistant only starts when I tap the microphone icon, but that's not my experience.

    I can confirm, google is always listening, and it's not even very good at pretending not to.

  • To borrow your analogy, gametes range from 0 - 1 and 100 - 101. That’s a binary.

    I have no idea what you were trying to say, but this is nonsense.

    A binary of binaries! A two of twos! A double double! Definitely don't call it four!

    You recognise that you listed the numbers 0, 1, 4 and 5 and called it binary as aa result?! You do know the difference between two and four, no? You do know that literally every number can be written in binary? 101110=46, for example.

  • "Why there are exactly two sexes" - what an irrelevant point. Here you are, as usual, turning up in a story about trans people to start another stupid debate about your favourite topic - the definition of the word sex. You always love to bring up your hero Trump's definition of sex and call everyone else stupid.

    It's completely and utterly irrelevant. This is about trans people being denied access to toilets. Telling us your pet theories on sex is irrelevant. Not even this transphobic guidance suggests we check someone's gamete size.

    You're just a transphobic troll.

  • Yeah one of us going down the manosphere rabbithole would spoil my friendships, but that's rather far from "men suck".

  • Powerstruggle: gets his pseudoscience from the liar in chief, Donald Trump. Also: lies about that fact. Coincidence?

  • Stop lying

    Lol! I said you always do it, then you did it! You have an amazing ability to hold two contradictory ideas at the same time.

    They show up in any post related to trans people to discuss their pet transphobic theories, often one which Trump gave.

    And there's your pet theory that just happens to have been copied from the imbecile pedophile in chief!

    Do you propose that we inspect someone's gametes to gain access to public toilets?! 10/10 irrelevant point.

  • That's mainly the British ones, to be fair. Brits developed a taste for vegetable oil during the war, and we're nothing if not nostalgic.

  • Hehe. Powerstruggle is one of the most persistent transphobic conversation derailers on lemmy. They show up in any post related to trans people to discuss their pet transphobic theories, often one which Trump gave. Imagine being intellectuality dominated by Donald Trump!

    I completely understand you blocking them. If I were the mod of a news sub where they repeatedly behaved the way they do, I would wield the ban hammer hard.

  • not really sure what point ur trying to make

    It was a minor correction over the meaning of the word assigned. And whilst quibbling over that word, I misused another more important one, so I'm being hypocritical, I see.

  • You’re not worth arguing with.

    You have a funny way of showing it.

    manufacturing so much outrage over using sex as opposed to gender as a useful concept in medical contexts

    That's all on you honey, all you. The rest of us were talking about access to gendered spaces for trans people. No one except you is weirdly taking about banning words from medical discourse.

    I’m done arguing with you.

    Do you mean that literally, like my version of literally, when it's literally true? Of course not!

    Wait, I get it now! Almost everything you say isn't true and has some bigger agenda. No wonder you assumed that someone else was behaving that way at the start of all this!

  • It’s completely accurate to say “literally” while paraphrasing.

    1. No is isn't. Use words like "essentially" for that. "It's literally what they said" is in fact a lie.
    2. Especially not when inventing a bunch of absolutism that wasn't there and interpreting it with a whole bunch of extra, much easier to debunk nonsense that you added yourself.

    people insisted that sex has no meaningful use even in medical contexts.

    I didn't see that in this thread. Oh, unless you're meaning it "literally" with your version of the word "literally" which doesn't man literally literally and for some reason includes absurd straw man content.

  • Like I say, you and I use the word "literally" very, very differently.

    When I say something like "they literally said it", I mean that they actually said it. You know, that that was what they said. Literally.

    When you use that phrase, you mean "that's how I interpreted it because I wanted to argue about it. All day."

  • I want you to think of a phrase about a minority group that you personally acknowledge is offensive.

    If someone tries to say that the word “ethnicity”

    I think if you break character and you're really honest with yourself and me, you may be able to come to terms with the possibility that maybe, just maybe, you don't sincerely believe that 'ethnicity' is a word that you, personally acknowledge is offensive.

    It was a breathtakingly futile attempt to help you for once look at something from someone else's perspective. I don't know why I tried given how insulated from empathy for anyone else's feelings or perspective you have demonstrated you are over the last hours.

    You make it really hard to care about anyone’s feelings if I have to walk on eggshells

    Lol. You really think that the victims of transphobic talk are to blame.

    The next time a trans man dies of ovarian cancer because his doctor was too afraid to have him screened for it (or worse: didn’t even know he has ovaries in the first place!), then at least I know it won’t be my fault.

    Lol lol lol. You are parodying yourself now! You invented this timeline, this complete fiction, this flight of fancy in which someone was insisting that it's transphobic for a doctor to ask people about their medical history, (a context and an assertion that you, and only you invented) and then you blamed someone merely telling you that you were being impolite for the DEATH of your fictional character when they followed the imagined straw man advice that literally no one gave except you. And then you congratulated yourself that you had done your best to prevent the fictional death resulting from the implausible consequence of following advice that you yourself invented!

    You have to give in and admit that the sheer audacity and absurdity of this far fetched straw man is actually funny!

  • And there you go pretending context doesn’t exist. Amazing.

    That’s not a strawman or an invention, it’s literally what the person was saying.

    You and I clearly use the word literally very differently. I use it considerably more honestly and literally than you do.

    If you can’t see the strawmanning here, you’re one or more of unselfaware, unable to back down when you’re wrong, disingenuous or malicious.

    I'm leaning towards options (b) and (c) here.
