this might count as destroying evidence

what scenario are you imagining where any of meta’s product offerings are useful to me?

tfw your national strategic reserve of facebook posts is depleted

Hate to be that guy, but given that she clearly instructs and directs John (as seen in the second film), she’s leading the leader, thus making her the true leader the whole time

“Write your system prompt in English” also works

just ask for the output to be reversed or transposed in some way

you’d also probably end up restrictive enough that people could work out what the prompt was by what you’re not allowed to say

can somebody please explain what argument they’re trying to make here

Without technology prepared to counter teleporters

like the shields all the ships in starwars have?

You don’t consider Barbary raids an act of war?

assuming i did, declaring war just so you can capture whites to sell as slaves seems kind of oppress-y to me

given that the point of contention here is whether or not it was ultimately because they were white or because they were non-muslim, i’m not sure what point you’re trying to make by re-classifying piracy as an act of war?

Capitalize Black.

i didn’t use any capital letters in my response, including on “muslim” which you’d capitalize for the same reasons you’re arguing to capitalize “black”

also, your linked source says to capitalize “white”, which you’ve done at no point so far

And “Yes.” on both counts.

i feel like we’ve hit bedrock then

i’m not sure how to convince you that pirate raids that went all the way to iceland just to avoid “muslims” probably wouldn’t raid a settlement consisting of black non-muslims

You can’t change race by reciting The Shahada.

i feel like you’re intentionally missing my point here

And irrespective anything you have said white people have never been oppressed for being white

you restating a thing doesn’t make that thing true though…?

not really sure there’s much point in going on further with this since it seems like we have pretty different reads on the topic at hand that aren’t going to be brought into alignment through further discussion

war captives and society-wide anti-Blackness actualizing in dehumanization and chattel enslavement

where are you getting “war captives”?

If a captured ship had white and non-white non-muslims on it, do you imagine only the white non-muslims would be enslaved and everyone else let go?

i imagine instances probably occurred both ways

do you think a captured ship with only black non-muslims on it would’ve been captured in the first place?

do you think a coastal settlement with a population of only black non-muslims would’ve been raided for slaves?

Further, your comment about albinism proves you understand race to be a social construct.

if race didn’t exist, american chattel slavery still would’ve done, because the social construct is invented afterwards to justify the act

the same appears to be true here, just with “non-muslim” being the back-engineered justification

i really don’t imagine it would’ve made much difference, kind of like how an african that was also albino still would’ve ended up enslaved

While Barbary corsairs looted the cargo of ships they captured, their primary goal was to capture non-Muslim people for sale as slaves or for ransom.

it seems kind of obvious what their test for “non-muslim” likely was

You don’t need to know what it feels like.

no, but it can help

Trying to fight intolerance with intolerance isn’t successful.

blanket statements like this are rarely helpful or true

Barbary slave trade?

you can’t just decide to build cutting edge chips

if the DoD needed cutting edge chips but had to purchase them from within the US, all that would happen is their technology would be worse for the next decade(s) until US production could catch up

given the current us procurement strategy of keeping at least a generation or so ahead of its next near-peer, i really doubt that would fly

Biden could have had this 30 minute conversation at literally any point over the past several months

in panel 2 what part of his anatomy is that

But either you’d be strategically weakening the country to give invading forces an easier time, at which point you’re throwing civilians into the meat grinder anyway, or you’re starving the country until it devolves into literal anarchy, because the only people in the position to surrender were entrenched enough that they’d be the last one to see their power structure fall apart.

but it’s not the hexbears making these memes…?
