Visiting foreign leaders are issued a diplomatic visa by the State Department, which comes with diplomatic immunity. A mayor of a city doing this would just be a pointless publicity stunt as someone with diplomatic immunity would be released as soon as it came before a Judge.

NYC is the location of the UN so going down this path would erode the effectiveness of the UN at it’s primary purpose (diplomacy) more than it already has been.

For sure. I copy JSON from swagger and get a Typescript interface all the time. It’s boring stuff to do manually, and yeah there are definitely tools I could use for this, but it’s not as easy. It’s basic stuff, and the AIs can do it reliably.

I have a bunch of chat contexts for things like this. SQL -> DTO object, JSON -> Typescript, etc. So it’s kinda a swiss army knife kind of tool where it can do a bunch of basic stuff. Sure there are specific tools for each of these things, but it’s easier to have all of those basic functions in one place.

But this week I was doing some very complicated logic that required in depth knowledge of the data structures and consideration for a whole bunch of edge cases… so I didn’t even touch an LLM this week. Though next week I might add some new tables to the DB, I’ll think about the data relationships and get that right, and then I’ll have the AIs deal with all of the boring shit involved in getting it to the FE.

I’m not talking about an organization, I’m talking about actual leadership. There’s a difference. There’s no Martin Luthor King for the Free Palestine movement, there isn’t anyone that can call out the bad actors who are manipulating the movement for their own ends.

The BLM movement as you mentioned got associated with a shady organization. There wasn’t a respected leader that can say “we have nothing to do with that shady organization” so it was kinda convincing to some. But since there were enough existing leaders from the Civil Rights era and politicians to explain it, the message got across well enough to many people.

The Free Palestine movement doesn’t have anyone that can do that. There was no one within the movement brave enough to denouce Hamas the day after October 7, so the movement is associated with Hamas. Which means it’s associated with the genocidal acts of Hamas. So the constant screams about genocide by the movement sound hypocritical to any bystanders. There were a few politicians like AOC that had sympathy for the movement that were harrassed for failing to pass the purity tests of the worst people in the movement. The Free Palestine movement is unable to form alliances with anyone. It’s carcinogenic to mainstream politics because no one can trust those within the movement to not say something overtly antisemitic. And those fears are confirmed when people in the movement talk endlessly about it being the Jews preventing them speaking at an event.

It’s gotten to the point where I don’t think it’s possible for there to be a leader of this movement now. It’s not possible to pass the purity tests of the radicals that want to be more radical than everyone else.

The game of one-upmanship has made the Free Palestine movement is completely out of touch with the rest of the world. There’s protests at syngogues, harrassment campaigns against holocaust museums and somehow y’all believe the rationalizations about these actions not being antisemitic. Nobody outside your little group believes those rationalizations.

You’re just a hate group to the people that don’t frequent your online forums.

Another reply linked to an article (by a personal injury lawfirm, naturally) and the temperature cited was 185F. I drink coffee that’s hotter than that every morning. Note that I take my coffee with lots of cream and sugar. It’s above 185F after adding cream and sugar. I drink it when it’s that temperature.

When people say “coffee is supposed to be hot” you may be assuming that it’s out of ignorance of something you saw on the internet. But it’s not exactly difficult to dip the meat thermometer by my stove into a cup of coffee. It’s possible you may be the one being ignorant of the facts because you’re trusting articles from biased sources without any verification… which is very easy for anyone to do. Yup, coffee is hot.

I interact with boiling water everyday. It’s dangerous and I know to be careful. Coffee, while not as hot as boiling water, is still dangerous enough to burn me (>185F) if I dump a full cup of it on my crotch. So I try not to do that. It’s actually not that hard, I do it every morning when half asleep.

My point is that humanity is fucked because people will believe anything they see on the internet without consideration of the source, basic science, or even common sense. People in the media who are responsible enough to verify claims and don’t report something that’s bullshit are considered to be hiding something while those presenting sensationalized unverified contrarian narratives are considered to be more trustworthy.

Because of the way social media is consumed, it’s too easy to distract from the real issues. Why did this woman have to sue McDonald’s to pay her medical bills? We commonly deal with boiling water when making food, why is it an accident that could occur to anyone results in financial ruin?

Next time you make Mac & Cheese you could have an accident and injure yourself similarly to this woman. What are you going to do, sue the Kraft corporation because the process to make Mac & Cheese is too dangerous? Or maybe there’s a better way to handle a situation where someone is injured in an accident than putting them in a situation where they either sue someone or go bankrupt? But I don’t think the personal injury law firms you’re getting your information from want you think that way.

With radical politcal groups, this is a feature not a bug. By going along with obvious bullshit, you prove your loyalty to the tribe.

The problem with activist groups that spring up online is there’s no leadership to keep it focused on it’s goals.

There’s a one-upmanship that happens where everyone is competing to get attention for themselves regardless of whether it hurts their movement. One person hates Netanyahu (understandable) the next hates the soldiers participating in the war and that gets more attention. The next hates anyone that has ever been in the IDF, gets the attention, so the next hates everyone in Israel. On and on it goes until we start seeing people hate any business that has ever had any association with Israel, and any political group with any association. Eventually gets so that only way to get attention is to express hatred of all Jews. Just have to use the word Zionist (no different to how white supremacist types use Globalist) so you can avoid association with the Nazis.

And what was this movement originally about? Helping Palestinians? How does deplorable behaviour help Palestinians? It doesn’t. But it get attention, it gets internet clout which can be monetized.

The Free Palestine Movement is no longer a movement that’s helping Palestinians in any way. It’s just a hate group full of attention whores.

The KKK claims the Jews are doing a white genocide. Are you a genocide denier if you don’t believe the claims of the KKK?

On the front page of the site you linked to:

The Gravier House Press sponsors a collection of books and other writings, including a literary blog and a law blog (or “blawg”), to promote discussion around literature, the media, pop culture, the arts, the practice of law, and substantive legal developments.

So a site made by laywers is telling you it’s reasonable to sue for stupid reasons. Like I say, it’s a narrative promoted by lawyers.

The temperature cited on the site is 185 degrees. Seems like a lot, right? It’s no problem to put a thermometer into a cup of coffee. Unfortunately I can’t find the photos the last time I did this very difficult experiment to verify the claim of these lawyers. But science is about peer review, so do you want to measure the normal temperature of coffee or should I?

If I spill a pot of boiling water onto my crotch while making Mac & Cheese I’d suffer the same injuries it’s not the Kraft corporation’s fault. Making coffee involves boiling water and McDonald’s is not actually able to change chemistry and make water boil at a higher temperature in their restaurants.

You can easily just make a cup of instant coffee according to the directions and use a thermometer to verify the whether the temperatures cited in the lawsuit are “too hot”. They actually were lower than the temperature of coffee people commonly make at home. Sorry, you got played by personal injury lawfirms and internet meme culture.

allaboutlawyer.com doesn’t make you think this might be coming from personal injury lawfirms?

Now find me the temperatures cited in the lawsuit and I’ll find the photos I took when I actually measured the temperature of instant coffee when made according to the directions. Spoilers: the temperature even after adding cream and sugar is hotter than the temperature McDonald’s was serving.

Are you dismissing my interpretation of the Dunning-Krugger effect based on specific expertise on the subject?

^^^ Ghoul hoping for someone to die.

I generally think of the anti-Israel movement as a hate group, but now you’re edging towards being a suicide cult.

It was reported by the WSJ, they didn’t release the image and of course Trump and his minions said it was all made up. But we can now see Trump’s shitty drawing (it’s creepier than anyone imagined) and the WSJ reporting is now confirmed.

This was reported by the WSJ a month ago.

I guess we have the image now so we can verify WSJ’s reporting that Clinton’s handwriting is impossible to make out in parts?

Nah, these expressions will just fall out of use. You think this is the first time people came up with funny fad expressions?

Sorry, but you ain’t all dat and a bag of potato chips. Fo shizzle.

It demonstrates more about y’all that attacking a literal holocaust museum doesn’t even give you any pause. It’s very obvious to any bystanders that you aren’t a pro-Palestinian movement (how does any of this help Palestinians?) you’re in an antisemitic hate group.

Do you remember time before the pandemic when you weren’t terminally online, how you would feel about a group harassing a holocaust museum? Would you think of those people were cool and hip, or would you think of them as hateful losers? How do you think anyone not in your internet bubble thinks of you when you engage in a harassment campaign against a holocaust museum?

There’s a reason why your group is treated like a carcinogen by every mainstream political movement. It’s not because the Jews are controlling everything. It’s because you’ve become so siloed off from the rest of the world you’re incapable of considering how your actions look to anyone not in your silo.

You’re doing a harassment campaign on holocaust museum for fuck’s sake. Just look at what you’ve become.

YF-W36-2U

Though sometimes like to be more specific and say something like “hey can you grab the blue YF-W36-2U for me?”

It wasn’t when some lady sued McDonald’s because she injured herself spilling coffee on herself.

It wasn’t when they started printed “warning coffee is hot” on the cups.

I realized humanity is fucked when personal injury lawyers made the argument that “actually that lady was right to sue” go viral. Some mix of internet contrarianism, distrust of “mainstream media”, and general dislike of anything “boomers” have said made people so incredibly gullible that they’ll agree with anything that will make them feel smart for being dumb enough to believe coffee isn’t supposed to be hot.

This thread is about being angry at Jews in Los Angeles because of actions by Jews on the other side of the world. Go outside and touch grass if you think it’s trolling to say this is just straight up racism to blame an entire ethnicity for the actions of the few.

Antisemitism is racism towards Jews with a shitload of rationalizations layered on top of it. So go on and rationalize how being angry at Jews in LA for things happening on the other side of the world isn’t Antisemitism. Go on… explain how this isn’t antisemitism.
