“Critics say…” 🤦♀️
I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Critics say this is an unfair generalization of mainstream journalists as soulless, mercenary, smear-merchants who use their privileged position to amplify establishment narratives without providing adequate context.

He was a British tourist and while half the fault is mine, the belligerence was off the charts. And, frankly, while in Malta so briefly, I have witnessed so many incidents too of British tourists being shitty to wait staff and others that I feel no qualms about a generalization as it's shocking. 2/2

While I hear what you're saying as regards this case, this is in fact a really, really bad generalization when you consider the biases and abuses throughout our justice system and adjacent institutions.
But yeah, this guy is 100% saying this because of all the crimes he did.

Yeah, I certainly am making a broad generalization but that's partially because I (a relatively well read news reader) didn't see the party coming together at all. This was, in my eye, a failure of messaging and leadership. They were so disconnected from their base they couldn't celebrate with them.

If you think you have a new sweeping generalization for your dating pool, think again, because I've already made an equal and opposite generalization to neutralize it

I mixed my broad generalization with a specific fictionalization here, but since we understand media literacy, I don't have to worry about that confusing anyone. Isn't that great?

A stereotype is NOT a generalization of how some population differs from human universals but a way to demonize members of that population precisely WHEN they act according to human universals.
very funny to reflect on helen andrews simultaneous insistence that aggressive jockeying for speaking time reflects the male nature of direct rational confrontation and that female scotus judges interrupting their colleagues demonstrates female emotionality and disrespect for law
Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I think those "the kids are alright" posts are just as weird as making a sweeping negative generalization about a generation. Like, yeah, some of them are alright, and some of them are fascists who call the FBI over smutty fanart. There is no One True Tagline for them.

thanks, but it's not a "generalization" when it is accurate. that is literally the ONLY reason the evangelicals support Israel. they also love that prophecy because the first to be taken in Armageddon is the Jews. but the Evangelicals believe they will be sent to hell for not worshiping jesus.

acting like any abuser with bpd means that all of them will inevitably be abusive is kindergarten thinking. you can be realistic abt the severity of these disorders w/o choosing to choose to ignore the plenty of people with bpd who are more "socially functioning" than your inaccurate generalization

Fetterman really is a special case because — really — it was the stroke. This isn't a generalization about stroke victims, but strokes can affect personality and every case is going to be different.

Isn't it more like:
analog -> digital -> normal code -> neural circuit -> language-as-code?
The neural circuit alone is pretty bad at logic, but can use the normal code for that. In exchange it gains a lot of flexibility and generalization.
