I think you don’t understand this fallacy. Here’s an example.

Person A: “No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.”
Person B: “But my uncle Angus is a Scotsman and he puts sugar on his porridge.”
Person A: “But no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.”

In this case, Angus actually is a Scotsman, but the person making the claim suggests he is not by using an altered definition based on their argument instead of the commonly accepted definition. The logic is circular.

This situation is akin to the following:

Person A: “No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.”
Person B: “But my uncle Andrew is a Scotsman and he puts sugar on his porridge.”
Person A: “Your uncle Andrew is a third generation US citizen, descended from one Scottish immigrant grandfather, who makes this ancestry a substantial part of his identity despite having little knowledge of Scottish culture beyond ‘bagpipes, kilts, and haggis’ and what he has seen in movies.”

It this case, despite identifying as a Scotsman and utilizing some elements of Scottish culture, by the commonly accepted definition he is not a Scotsman, even in part. Therefore, any observations of Scotsmen based on Andrew are likely incorrect.

For your situation, given there have never been true socialist countries, only mixed systems, it strains credulity to believe that your experience with a mixed system is representative of a true socialist state, just as my experience with labradoodles is unlikely to be representative of Golden Retrievers or poodles.

Fucking corporate America. I was fired for having a disability, specifically and intentionally by my boss and her manager. Neither has any direct accountability - both were terminated as a result of the findings of a federal and state investigation, but the company will pay for the damages. They both failed upward, getting higher positions at other companies, while I’ve struggled to find employment, something already difficult due to the stigma of my age, disability, and gender, but now with word of my termination having spread through the quite small pool of people who work in my field.

Same, though I keep a defanged AtlasOS version on dual boot for the rare things that absolutely require that garbage.

One can make it a sport, even a team sport!

Word. I had a job that promised no more than 40 and my manager offered unofficial comp time for any overage. Then the economy slowed and they wanted to downsize, so fired me for working less than 40 hours one week a few months before.

Same, but they get pretty pissed off when they wake up and find me in their house.

I cannot wait for my boss to try to replace me with one of these.

Then you must not read your own comments.

You’re not wrong. It actually would make America great again.

I’m in. Let’s do this.

Pretty sure they’re a pretty competent troll. They’re doing a great job skirting the line between being the right level of unsufferable and too much.

Lemmy is much better than reddit in so many ways but you can’t escape the losers.

Case in point: you.

My gen Z kid was pretty excited because it seemed like AI had so much promise. Promise to do his homework for him. He since learned how he spends more time getting the right answers out of it than just doing the work himself.

It’s just scent bonding!

TIL there is a bottom of the barrel for trolling.

Yet those constituencies are consistently manipulated to act against their best interests by rallying cries and similar polarizing behavior, and pointing it out goes as well as it did here. Most days, I question if humans are intelligent enough to govern themselves. Evidence increasingly points to no.

LOL that’s a lot of words with absolutely no meaning. It’s just posturing for the crowd, like a child.

As a leftist, I wish others would engage in critical, nuanced thinking instead of regurgitating the same calibre of tired, generic, thoughtless talking points we so often criticize the right for.

Yes, the right is a monolith all united under the single cause of repressing out groups. You’ve clearly nailed it.

What if you put your hand upon my hip, when you dip, I dip, we dip?

What if I’ve got a girl named Rama Lama, Rama Lama Ding Dong?

How about oo-ee-oo-ah-ah-ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang?

What then?

My experience is exactly the book reproduction part when I used a LLM to help with a narcissist. I had no choice but to deal with them, for months. I was stressed and panicking from fending off constant attacks while undoing years of conditioning and abuse, raising two young kids, working, seeing a therapist, seeing a lawyer, and cramming self-help and communication books.

My lawyer suggested it. It picked the manipulation hidden in ‘reasonable’ requests and phrased things safely for me while I learned to do it myself. It did a good job, still better than I do. I was reading a few self help books and began noticing familiar phrases. It was reproducing sentences, sometimes closely paraphrased, sometimes verbatim. Like, a lot.

I feel a little bad because I probably used a bunch of water, but I got full custody. They had been doing a great job making me look like the crazy one until they started flipping out from me being calm and professional in response to their abuse instead of panicking and flipping out myself or shutting down. Sorry planet, thanks for the water, will do better next time.
