Google Launches New ‘Inclusive Language’ Function

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 4/25/2022 3:14:25 PM

The search engine giant Google has rolled out a new feature that acts as an auto-suggestion for changing certain language to more politically correct terms. According to the Daily Mail, users who type out certain words will be faced with several suggestions encouraging them to adopt language that is gender-neutral, or otherwise more politically correct. For example, “landlord” will yield suggestions such as “proprietor” or “property owner,” while “mankind” will lead to the suggestion of “humankind.” “Policeman” is now recommended to be “police officers,” while “housewife” is to be replaced with “stay-at-home spouse.” This feature also applies to transcriptions of interviews and speeches from the past.

And you thought AutoCorrect was bad??? Is anyone still using Google???

All too often these kinds of prompts lead to more mistakes than not. Leave people alone.

Are terms like "Trump supporter", "Republican" and "conservative voters" still called deplorables or domestic terrorists?

duckduckgo.com is some better, but at least you aren't funding people who hate you. It looks like Lucianne.com is hosted by Rackspace, owned by Apollo Global. Nice that it's not hosted by Amazon, Google, or Micro$oft. But it's a predatory environment and lost RS $ 83 Million last quarter, and its stock has gone from $25 to $10 in the last year.

I have been watching Gunsmoke reruns on the Inspire cable network, using closed caption because of my hear loss. I was amused, some time ago, by a deletion in dialogue. Quint Esper, played by Burt Reynolds, was a half breed angry at white men because the killed his father. Marshal Matt Dillon gently tried to make Quint part of the Dodge community, and after one episode full of racial misunderstandings and false charges, Matt solves everything, and invites Quint to the Long Horn for a drink. And as they walk across the street, Matt says, who would believe I would buy whiskey for a red man? The audio erased the word red, but the closed caption displayed the word red. The audio version made no sense. Try it.

Posted by ladydawgfan 4/25/2022 3:23:05 PM Post Reply
After one-third of the horrific term of President Joe Biden is almost complete, the United States of America is facing a series of mind-boggling crises. The Biden administration’s COVID-19 response focused on forcing Americans to wear masks and take vaccines. The President pushed mandates and lockdowns, instead of freedom. The toll on our economy, overall health and psychological well-being has been staggering. This week, in their commitment to continue these policies, the administration refused to abandon the unnecessary and ridiculous mask mandate for public transportation and will appeal a federal judge’s sensible ruling striking down this unpopular mandate.

The writing has been on the wall for some time now as to just how bad it is likely to be for Democrats going into the 2022 fall midterm elections. Joe Biden’s (and Kamala Harris’) approval ratings are in the toilet, and Biden is polling poorly on his handling of key issues like the economy, inflation, and illegal immigration. Further, Biden’s support among key voting blocs is cratering, and most generic Congressional ballot polls show Republicans with a distinct advantage over Democrats. Any one of the above issues would be concerning for a political party in a crucial election year.

A Democratic congressional candidate in Washington State is arguing for a $30 per hour minimum wage, claiming that the $15 minimum wage movement is an outdated number. Rebecca Parson, a candidate for Washington’s 6th District that includes Tacoma, shared the comment recently in a post on Twitter. “$15 minimum wage is an antiquated demand. It should be $30 per hour,” she tweeted. [Tweet] “1 adult supporting 1 kid needs $30 an hour across the country. Rural, urban, suburban: $30 is the floor.

to be “truly shocked” by a poll showing President Biden with a 33 percent approval rating. I was shocked, too — how could his approval rating be that high? Blow, of course, is surprised at Biden’s unpopularity, and worried that the Democrats are stumbling into a bloodbath in the November midterms. Blow is paid to understand and explain politics and culture to his readers. That he is surprised reveals a lot about the bubble he is in. And his meandering analysis of Democrats’ problems illustrates how the ideology making Democrats unpopular is also preventing them from understanding why they are unpopular.

What was once known as the Southern border of the United States is essentially nonexistent in this second year of Old Joe Biden’s misrule, and so it was no surprise Monday when it came to light that in 2021, the Border Patrol had caught at least 23 people at the border who are on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). Terrorists can see what’s happening at the border as much as anyone else can; why shouldn’t they take advantage of the mess Old Joe has made? And those 23, of course, were just the ones who got caught.

Following the arrest of a prolific criminal home invader, a Florida sheriff is encouraging residents to take gun safety courses and be prepared to stand their ground in the event of a break-in occurring at their own homes. In a press conference on Wednesday, Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson told homeowners they are “more than welcome to shoot” at burglars as he announced the arrest of Brandon Harris, who Johnson described as being one of the “frequent flyers” breaking into local homes. You aren’t just more than welcome to stand your ground, it’s actually preferred if you do, Johnson stated.

After a Federal Judge found that the CDC overstepped its authority by mandating masks, the left stepped in to declare, among other things, that the judge was too young. Joy Reid and other talking heads declared people would die because there was no mask mandate. They won’t, but that got me thinking about the madness. Two days ago, I was forced to get a COVID test.

I haven’t previously written Taylor Lorenz’s doxxing of Libs of TikTok, the popular Twitter account that simply reposts videos from wild-eyed leftists talking about grooming children and the like. That’s not for any particular reason except that other RedState writers covered it thoroughly, but her appearance on CNN on Sunday morning offers the perfect chance to share my thoughts. While speaking with Brian Stelter, Lorenz managed to make her actions even worse, pointedly lying about what she did, and then suggesting Libs of TikTok (I’m not going to use her real name) could have been a foreign agent.

If we were to conduct a snap poll on social media and ask: If Donald Trump runs for president in 2024 (it’s inconceivable at this point that he won’t), will he win back the White House? Responses would range from “Hell yes” to “Hell no” — with a myriad of other responses and plenty of heated debate in between. While favorability ratings, head-to-head projections, and various other projection tools are of course based on currently available sentiment and data, and numbers can change in a political heartbeat as situations or future developments warrant, Trump bests Biden in virtually every poll and survey. It’s hard to see that changing.

Of all the reasons for leftists to be fake mad at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, this has got to be the absolute dumbest. After the governor held an event in which he signed both the Stop WOKE Act and a bill stripping Disney of its special status into law, high-profile black progressive tap-dancers began their typical tap-dance routine and hurled false accusations of racism. In this episode, they took issue with the fact that DeSantis had the temerity to have black people on the stage during the event. The fact that there were black children seemed to be of particular concern for some reason.

The funds will be put toward a “Legacy of Slavery Fund” to continue researching and memorializing the history, in part by working with descendants of black and Native American people enslaved at Harvard and their broader communities. The announcement follows the release of a report from the Presidential Initiative on Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery project, which Bacow commissioned in 2019. “Harvard benefited from and in some ways perpetuated practices that were profoundly immoral,” Bacow said in an email to the university’s students, faculty and staff members obtained

Russia's top diplomat has warned that NATO is now fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and there is a 'very serious' risk the conflict could turn nuclear. Sergei Lavrov, speaking on Russian state TV last night, accused western leaders of risking a third world war by supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine with the goal of 'wearing down the Russian army'—an aim he described as an 'illusion'. Accusing NATO and its allies of attempting to bully Russia on the international stage, Lavrov said that tensions between east and west are now worse than during the Cuban missile crisis at the height of the Cold War.
