Fascism is the camp of losers, historically but I’m not sure whether it’s because being a loser makes you a fascist, or because fascism makes you a loser

It looks more like it’s increasing the chances of having a low-quality cult tbh, because it will be mostly people sharing the same algo bubble brain-rot

When I discovered it existed, the CEO of the company building these simulations for surgeons (PrediSurge I think, among others) was also talking about evolving towards the idea of "digital twin", which in my understanding tries to replicate parts of the body of the actual patient, with post-operation persistence for monitoring, which sounds like (ii). As for scale, if it does help surgeons I hope it can be generalized.

I don’t know what you consider the metaverse to be, but if it includes simulations it currently helps surgeons prepare

I think people who genuinely believe in dog eaters and things like that simply don’t have any respect for themselves they allow random politicians they know are lying to tell them what to think because they don’t have the self-esteem to think for themselves voting for these people is like a litmus test for seeing if someone respects their own thinking

sure, but most of the discourse on this isn’t waved as “racist”, it might actually the most talked subject in politics lol reality is just that non citizens/non permanent residents don’t benefit from welfare, but politicians want you to think that to create division between people in order to increase their chances of you voting for them it’s all stupid, people should just focus around themselves, not around stuff happening elsewhere because it’s so easy to get manipulated on that

why not say the actual word? it's a difference of at least 30 million people that rightfully live in the US and pay taxes but tbf the question still stands, bc even illegal immigrants pay some amount of taxes, and it's not clear at all that they actually receive the benefits people say (most these gov programs are for citizens and permanent residents), maybe emergency care but it would be pretty ridiculous to say it causes problems to the US healthcare system

non-citizens don't pay taxes in the US? this is an actual question, because if yes I'd have to go find the CPA they use

Also, there's no "giving in on expectations", I actually have no idea what you mean by that, I was simply saying how "expectations" are not a thing in the law precisely because you cannot codify them into law. Acting like we can is dangerous and a path for authoritarians.

The first point doesn't really make sense. Don't know what you are trying to argue, I'm sure it's not "not appropriate language gives cause to cops", but it really looks like it. For the second point, you're again changing the conversation, I'm not talking about your other initial bullet points, this conversation started with the bullet point about "bro". You are trying to argue about things I am not talking about. Funnily enough, the fact that you have to go to other bullet points to continue this conversation shows how weak the one about "bro" was, which was the reason I responded. If you want to respond to the stuff I brought up, related to cultural expectations and how "bro" is not, in the slightest, disrespectful, then you can respond to it, but don't move the goalpost by responding with things that are unrelated.

In case it’s not clear, when I say citizens aren’t trained, I mean they are not supposed to speak a certain way to officers, even if there’s a better way of talking. Trying to mix the former with the latter *is* the slippery slope that could give too much power to governments.

I don’t because I doubt studies about things like that exist, and it’s not not worth it to me to look that up, feel free to satisfy your curiosity, or just ask a bunch of Americans. But btw you changed my framing, I never said “appropriate”, I said not disrespectful, let’s not change the words. About the second point, I think you missed what I said and went in another direction. When interacting with officers, what ultimately matters (especially in the US) is the law, not “expectations” (that no one can define, incl. you me or a judge). If the officer (in general, not the video) doesn’t respect that they stop being a cop and start becoming a criminal. That’s the basis of a lawful country. But the actual point I was making is that officers (as you pointed correctly) are trained, citizens are not. Acting like they should is a horrendous slippery slope.

Also btw, the social skills that you implicitly ask citizens to have (of being mindful of what a random cop might think of a word, and again “bro” is nothing) applies both ways, officiers also. Do you see the slippery slope?

You are talking about something you genuinely don’t know and are being overly confident about it. I know that because if you think that something is “bad faith” while the vast majority of reasonable Americans (incl. officers) would agree with it, then you just don’t know about it, and that’s fine. I personally don’t consider your POV to be in bad faith, I just think you’re off base on this aspect of American culture, and probably more off base with American police culture. “Bro” is simply not the word you think it is. And yes, it might be stupid for someone to talk a certain way to an officier (even if “bro” isn’t an insult), but re-read this thread, it started because you put “bro” at the same level as the other bullet points.
