  • Just some casual news headlines and captions:

    Ms. Rachel doubles down on support for children in Gaza “It’s sad that people try to make it controversial when you speak out for children that are facing immeasurable suffering,” the YouTube educator said in a recent interview with Zeteo.

    NBC News

    Kids’ YouTube star ‘Ms. Rachel’ defends her Gaza comments in talk with anti-Israel reporter “Her increasingly politicized online presence should concern parents. Ms. Rachel has a moral compass — but it only points leftward,” New York Post columnist Bethany Mandel wrote.

  • There should only be 12 jurors (maybe you’ve already done this). People should have to wait in a queue to join a jury of 12. Once you have 12 you all vote within 30 seconds. Everyone should see the results. If a jury is a hung jury, it ends up back in the queue. Majority wins. Users can only appeal once.

    Basically it should mimic jury duty a little more closely. Right now, it just feels like you’re doing a survey.





  • Same age here and similar timeline. I’m still figuring things out. I’m a remote worker so I can hide from my job in a lot of ways, but I’m not sure how it’ll impact my career. Feel free to checkout the /c/TransLater community as well! I’m not out to my parents or siblings - only my cis wife. I don’t think I’ll be coming out to anyone anytime soon because my family trends quite conservative.

    I’m excited on your behalf!



  • I know what you mean. The implication in Jadzia’s statement is that she’s typically adhering to straight relationships depending on her gender identity at the time. That being said, if you watch the show and are willing to be a little generous, you can make the claim that she’s pansexual. The actress explicitly has said she wanted to portray her character as pansexual. Also, the trill retain the memories and wisdom of previous partners. It’s hard to imagine that Jadzia wouldn’t feel attraction to her previous partners. In fact, if you watch DS9 S04E05 - Rejoined you’ll see Jadzia kiss her former wife and claim she still feels love for her. In addition, that kiss was one of the first televised lesbian kisses!







  • The most generous assumption is that they use statistics to determine correlations like this (e.g., deleted selfies resulted in a high CTR for beauty ads so they made that a part of their algo). The least generous interpretation is exactly what you’re thinking: an asshole came up with it because it’s logical and effective.

    Either way, ethics needs to be a bigger part of the programmers education. And we, as a society, need to make algorithms more transparent (at least social media algorithms). Reddit’s trending algorithm used to be open source during the good ole days.
