I proved that citing official Catholic texts.

You didn’t prove anything. Depending on what statistic you’re looking at, Catholics aren’t even a majority of Christians, but even if they are, do you honestly think all Catholics follow the “official Catholic texts”? Catholicism is famously one of the more contentious Christian sects, and always has groups that disagree with the Pope and their leadership.

That the Law is not eternal is very clear

Again, it isn’t, or else this entire thread wouldn’t be happening, and the constant arguments among biblical scholars about that very verse wouldn’t be happening.

if you see a text that says the contrary it should either be dismissed as a text contradicting the whole message, or interpreted to find the actual message.

Lol. In other words, “have blind faith”?

If that’s your argument, you aren’t making it in good faith, and I have no interest in continuing further.

You didn’t show anything, you shared your interpretation and claimed that it’s the one “most” Christians believe without any evidence.

More to the point though, your interpretation isn’t even clear - you yourself admitted that the Bible uses difficult prose, suffers from translation issues, and needs to be viewed through a cultural lense calibrated to the times it was written. How is that “clear” at all?

And I did give you an argument. I directly countered your claim that “the Bible is quite clear” by saying nothing in the Bible is clear and giving examples and reasoning for why I believe it isn’t clear. I thought that was quite clear.

the Bible is quite clear

No it isn’t, or else this conversation wouldn’t be happening.

The Bible is a thousands-year-old compilation of local folk tales and the musings of illiterate sheepherders, munged together by rich elites who saw its usefulness in controlling the masses, and has been translated. modified, and reinterpreted dozens of times to keep it effective at controlling the masses. It’s fraught with inconsistencies, and calling anything in it “quite clear” is honestly just laughable.

Where is the fiber?

The whole-ass pineapple will have plenty of fiber

I’ll just go through one by one and give my thoughts and point out where I saw bias.

He ties himself to, and uses the language of, the far left and related candidates.

Right off the bat, instead of directly saying “he’s a leftist political commentator on twitch”, you instead just say he “ties himself to and uses the language of” leftist candidates. This makes it seem like you’re implying that he isn’t an actual leftist, or that he’s just doing leftism as a performance or something. It’s dismissive of reality, not to mention overcomplicating things.

He backs and campaigns for progressive candidates which often raises awareness and donation for them, but the effect seems to be limited - some candidates he backs does well and others do not. He also seems to make plenty of statements that directly contradicts the candidates he backs and campaign for, causing some of them to try to distance themselves from him.

Your acknowledgement of a positive is immediately followed by a “but” statement, dismissing of the positive. It also places blame on him instead of on the candidates for their campaigns, where it actually belongs in most cases. It also mirrors right-wing talking points where they claim that his “radical viewpoints” are actually fracturing the Democratic base, instead of introducing leftist ideology to an audience that no one else on the left has been able to meaningfully reach yet.

He says his end goal is communism.

Phrasing it like this implies you don’t believe him. It’s dismissive again.

He is from a very affluent family, personally earns a lot of money and he clearly lives an affluent lifestyle. He claims to thrift for designer clothes but when pressed appears to reference outlet stores and similar. Initially he claimed that he doesn’t want his regular thrift stores to get raided by fans, although his fans might be less affluent than him and therefore better served by access to these stores.

Again echoing the dismissive right wing talking point of “he can’t possibly be a ‘Real Socialist’, he comes from a rich family and buys expensive things!”, on top of sowing doubt about his explanation of shopping secondhand. You also confused “outlet stores” for consignment shops.

He has done several very successful charity streams that amassed large amounts of money for good causes. He claims to donate great amounts of money to charities, although the amount of donated money that can be tied to him is very low for his level of wealth, somewhere between 77.000 - 80.000 USD total (0,5-1%) of his estimated wealth, which is 8-14 million USD. While he does not appear to put his money where his mouth is, he does spend some of his time on popular fundraising, which drives a lot of attention to both him and the causes he fund-raise for.

Other than the first sentence, this whole paragraph is dismissive of his charity/fundraising efforts, and is colored by your personal negative bias and what you confidently claim his net worth is (I can find estimates that vary widely from the range you claim).

He is often abrasive in his communication, although he will excuse that with passion for the subjects he talk about.

This is your opinion stated as fact.

He has a large audience that aggressively attacks dissenters or people Hassan expresses dislike for or disagreement with.

This is your opinion stated as fact.

The harassment from his fan base appears to be significantly above and beyond the norm for the space, and while he comments to the contrary it would be hard to believe that he is unaware of the dynamic between him and his fan base.

This is unfounded speculation.

From what I can tell he has taken no steps towards solving this dynamic beyond disavowing some instances of the harassment, while condoning other instances.

I catch bits and pieces of his stream here and there, and in my experience he pretty consistently calls down chatters that are being inappropriate. It sounds like your speculation is based on articles about his streams that cherry pick and decontextualize things.

He does not appear to have a problem with lying about people or broadcasting random people (even known malicious actors, that he himself states to be malicious) on twitter or twitch if it fits his narrative.

This at minimum deserves some examples. Kinda hard for people to “do their own research” when you give so little to go off of.

He often breaks the rules of his streaming platform (twitch) but receives special treatment, although I am unsure if that is due to personal popularity or personal relationships with the owner of twitch.

Another right wing talking point that Hasan himself has addressed and debunked.

He denies using a shock collar on his dog, but looking at the evidence gathered through old videos, still frames from new videos, and from people who personally interacted with the dog would suggest that to be a lie. I do not know if he still uses a shock collar on his dog since the latest controversy.

Another talking point that has been debunked so thoroughly not even the right still uses it.

Do you see it now, or do you still think your comment is unbiased?

Every time you pointed out something negative, it was stated as fact. Every time you pointed out something positive, you used language that leaves room for doubt. Go back and reread your comment. It’s not neutral at all dude, it’s fraught with negative bias.

Serious question - how?

when people give their take they usually either dismiss all the criticism and focus on the things he does well, or dismiss the things he does well and focus on the criticism.

A fact very well demonstrated by your comment lmao

(this last sentence is my personal assessment)

Huh, that’s a pretty shit assessment.

Where did you get the other sentences, the xenophobe store?

It’s somehow insulting to both Asmongold and Hasan

I don’t care if the story is real or not. In fact, I’m inclined to agree with you that it’s probably fake. Doesn’t change the fact that you’re all over this thread running defense for fucking Waymo, of all corporations

You:

Yeah AI (not necessarily LLMs though) have been used to great effect for medical uses like that. It’s a shame how most of the good work coming out of the AI/ML field gets overshadowed by LLMs

This is Lemmy, everything is serious

IDK about anyone else, but I’m kind of over hyperrealism in games at this point. Facial animations are still uncanny after multiple decades of trying to figure it out, but less realistic styles have looked great that whole time. Hell, I’ve seen pixel graphics with more expressiveness and emotion than some Unreal engine games. Sure the lighting and set pieces are pretty, but stuff like that doesn’t do it for me nearly as much as good animations, good gameplay, and good story.

Isn’t sugar, water, and yeast basically the ingredients for hard seltzer? Add some flavoring after the fact and I feel like you’re having a pretty good time

Huh? Dentist chairs recline into a lying position. What kind of dentists are you seeing?

Cool, that’s not what gun control means

I also use Arctic fans, and they’re by far the quietest, best-performing fans I’ve ever used. Equivalent Noctua fans are like 4-8 times more expensive, so unless they can also give handies or something, I can’t imagine them actually being worth the price.

All the hassle and risk of running a complicated custom loop plus all the noise of a fan based cooler?! Sign me up!
