“…scholars consider Buddhism one of the major world religions.”

“Sikhism, [a] religion and philosophy…”

“Hinduism (/ˈhɪnduˌɪzəm/)[1][2] is an Indian religion or dharma…”

Your own sources say that all 3 are religions.

Your ignorance is genuinely louder. All of those are religions, and any credible source you find will agree with me.

All the examples I provided are religions.

Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism are some, but Asia has many more religions/ideologies.

Their point is that there’s more than 1 widely-practiced religion, and there are plenty of sects that are tolerant to different forms of self-expression. Saying food is bad because you don’t like bananas isn’t sound logic, and applying that same logic to religion doesn’t work either.

I can’t speak for any Christians, but many of the religious people I know are some of the most tolerant people I know because their religious schools focused on doing things with good intent.

The AI does nothing with the percentages because it is an LLM, not an AI designed for math. All an LLM does is take a small number of words and turn them into a different set of words. It does not use your small set of words to run any formulas on your behalf.

I’m genuinely glad we live in a country that recognizes the horrors of its past. Even with all of the “whitewashing” that occurs in textbooks in parts of the country, like “states’ rights” in the Civil War and praising Columbus, there’s still an overwhelming consensus that minorities were wronged for our entire history.

Children deserve privacy like the rest of us do.

I don’t find it surprising given that the vast majority of people don’t research the claims that other people make. For example, during the GameStop short squeeze, people came to the conclusion that corruption or collusion was at play, when in reality it wasn’t for the most part.

People would rather listen to a guy who says something confidently than a guy who says “I don’t know.” The former gets to spread their word, and the latter gets ignored.

Why not make a better UI after ironing out the bugs?

I genuinely wonder why MS hasn’t added FTP to Windows Explorer in all these years. It would’ve fixed so many issues

If you read any of his memoirs or interviews, you’d know that his intended destination was Ecuador, and he couldn’t fly out of Russia due to his passport being revoked. He lived in the Russian airport until he was granted asylum, so it’s not like he had much choice.

I didn’t see any sources that went against those claims except from WikiLeaks, so I don’t see much of a reason to discredit them.

Surprised how nobody mentioned “Everytime We Touch” by Cascada

Reminds me of Rensenware.

Reasonable control in the legal sense does matter though. Right now, a majority of creatives don’t own their IP in the legal sense, and they can’t stop large companies from milking their works dry as a result. In the absence of IP laws, creatives would be able to create their works, but they’d also be competing against companies that have the resources to monetize, influence the general public, and kill the franchise through poor choices.

It’s really important to know that the vast majority of people aren’t going to have the goodwill to tip or otherwise support free works, and it’s even less likely if a large company does enough marketing to overshadow an artist.

It very much is still a problem. It’s unrealistic to expect the majority of YT users to use a tool like SponsorBlock.

I already understand the point of the video. I’m saying that the point of the video doesn’t reflect the wishes and wills of all artists. If someone pours their heart and soul into something, they should have reasonable control over how that something is used by other people. The last thing we want is to demotivate those artists from making great works.

I don’t agree with that video, and I’m sure that a good chunk of talented creators wouldn’t appreciate losing control of their own works. Copyright needs to be rewritten, but abolished is quite a huge overcorrection

Why would Apple make a tool for Xiaomi phones?

The problem is that people in this thread are in the mindset that tipping encourages lower wages, when in reality, low wages encourage tipping. The US has an absurdly low minimum wage relative to the cost of living, and that minimum wage of $7.25 has an exemption for tipped employees who can earn as little as $2.33 an hour. While it’s true that many states have higher minimum wages than the federal wage, there are several that are the same as federal.
