Exactly. So I am curious why OP considers it remarkable that "neither left nor right" is not what it seems.
As for me, I might consider someone from a different country with different politics, like Japan perhaps, to be neither. Or someone who lives under a rock and doesn't pay attention to the news.

Please describe someone who could be considered neither left nor right. Is it possible you are viewing the absence of left-wing qualities as being right-wing?

1, sometimes 2.
Does anyone else have the problem where sometimes a bit of TP sticks to your labia? especially the 1-ply

They made the product they want, they’re free to do that.
But they aren't free -- Disney has total executive control. This is nothing new though; they used to use this power to censor queerness in shows before (e.g. Gravity Falls). They may still perhaps, and may do so again. Disney in general reigns in everything to make it a sterile corporate product and the artists involved have to swim upstream to make something they want.
We should all boycott Disney and take its capitalist grip off our culture. Then we can have vastly more diverse media, certainly with more queerness.

Out of curiosity, did you like Andor? Because it had all that stuff too but it was well written instead. Just think about how many women are lead roles on Andor for a second.

those are the people 1984 is talking about, or rather to, I believe.
Edit: nvm, 1984 is among them perhaps.

yeah, I think there's been a terrible miscommunication somewhere. It might help if you clarify -- do you yourself believe that there is a sizeable contingent of people who want to force games to include all walks of life?

misrepresenting the anti-woke crowd? I think they literally believe that stuff, forced diversity etc.
Edit: nvm, I was wrong.

The article is NOT satire -- it's provocative. The author argues that world hunger benefits the rich. Capiche?
I hope the UN restores the article.

that's not satire. He unironically, disapprovingly, argues that this is the real state of the world.

That's the anti-woke propaganda the text you're quoting is complaining about. If you listen to anyone right wing long enough this is what they'll bring up eventually. it's "fake news" basically -- very dangerous fake news.
Perhaps you misunderstood the poster?
Edit: nope, I did.

Lemmy is tree-structured. Can't talk over nobody.
> The experience seemed roughly on par with trying to advise a mediocre, but not completely incompetent, graduate student. However, this was an improvement over previous models, whose capability was closer to an actually incompetent graduate student. It may only take one or two further iterations of improved capability (and integration with other tools, such as computer algebra packages and proof assistants) until the level of "competent graduate student" is reached, at which point I could see this tool being of significant use in research level tasks.
What do y'all guys use for cloud storage, like DropBox, Google Drive, and so on? Ideally something which works even when offline. I'd like to de-google of course.
(Please don't downvote just because I need some help.) I was once a privacy nut. But it's getting so hard nowadays, and there are so many more important problems -- global warming, AI, the inevitable collapse of the current world order... how does privacy improve the world? **Please help remind me.** I do approve of privacy, of course. All this protect-the-children flak is bullshit. I just can't remember why I thought it was something worth fighting for and preaching about.

In a poll on hexbear (see link), it was observed that there are very few cis women on Lemmy. I think this is the intersection of several problems: - engagement of women on Reddit was always low - fewer women in computer science - I'm hesitant to recommend anything fediversy to people who don't tinker with computers like I do and thus might need a more handholdy UX. I gather that transgender people tend to be more into CS, though I don't see why that explains entirely such an astonishing presence of the transgender community on Hexbear. Anyway, I just thought I'd open the floor to brainstorming.

Safety tips: - Only use special eclipse glasses; regular sunglasses aren't safe - Wait for 100% totality before taking off your eclipse glasses. (If you don't have eclipse glasses, wait for totality before looking at all) - Have a timer prepared on your phone set to the [duration of the eclipse](https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronomy/eclipses/total-solar-eclipse.asp) at your location, so you know when to put your glasses back on. - When the sun is mostly (but not fully) eclipsed, it will likely not feel painful to look at it, but it will still damage your eyes permanently.
