    I don’t give a shit when you formed an attachment to the confederacy, I care why it’s so important to you to have a confederate flag in your home. Even if you keep it in the basement, you still have it. Worse, you went out of your way to get a new one, fully knowing it’s evil.

    There are people who liked the confederacy before you, and more than you, who have grown past it and given it up to protect others. Why won’t you?

    I feel like, if you think about what the book does, the gap isn’t as big as you’d think.

    “Hermione, don’t let being muggleborn get you down. You’re a powerful witch, and therefore have value. …Let’s just ignore how we treat Filch and act like his bitter attitude is his own fault, alright?”

    “It is choices that matter, not circumstances. Like how the sorting hat chose for these people to be Slytherins, so they’re all evil and probably ugly.”

    “Look at how heroic Harry is for freeing a slave. Now, we’re going to give him a slave and not think too hard about that. In fact, Hermione wanting to free other slaves is annoying and we should laugh at her because of it.”

    all of your claims have so many asterisks attached that they’re essentially pointless

    No they don’t, but say whatever you need to ignore me. That’s definitely what someone arguing in good faith would do.

    internet access has been shown to have all the same negative effects

    Citation needed.

    it’s a useful technology

    Quite the opposite, actually. It causes enormous problems and has no benefits that aren’t better served by existing technologies that lack those problems.

    Nobody who uses AI treats it like a tool, they treat it like an employee they can claim credit for. And most tools aren’t actively detrimental to the user to the point of proven intelligence drops, lawsuits and environmental destruction. Also, the enemy charges you money to use it.

    The only person who benefits from AI is the person selling it. So why are you trying to defend it?
