Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

What does misanthropic mean?

Also isn't IQ in general kinda inaccurate?

[–] sc_griffith@awful.systems 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

misanthropic means person hating; possessed of contempt and malevolence toward humans as both individuals and a class. connotations of bitterness or cruelty

For me, it's the complete non-mention of uterus-owning people*, as if they are just a means to the end.

*I couldn't come up with a gender-inclusive term for this that didn't make me sound like a monster so apologies

This will include dudes with multiple uterii in their freezer but they're probably outliers.

ah, yes, I forgot to put in a second footnote about my neighbour Brian. We'd call the cops but it turns out he's the local sheriff.

Honestly not the most succinct guidance, but here's an Amerocentric style guide: https://styleguide.transjournalists.org/#neutral-health-terms

My best attempt to follow this advice produces: people who can get pregnant. Works for me!
