Facts over feelings??? Yup definitely an AI designed by a douche bag

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 180 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's funny because the people who usually say that are the kind of people who prioritize their feelings over facts.

It's all projection with conservatives

This is the mirror that they made themselves and it gives them exactly what they think they can handle. But facts over feels will make for some great tweet meltdowns. 🍿

It uses "Facts over feelings" as a diss against the very group of people who would normally use it

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 12 points 1 day ago

If you search for Grok in the tweet history, Grok has said it in almost every single message in the past three days. I can't laugh any harder at this

I'd bet a lot on "Facts over feelings" being one of those hardcoded phrases that Grok was made to use whenever Grok is asked to present facts.

Which is hilarious, because you know it was put in there to "own the libs," but instead these chucklefucks get it thrown back in their faces.

That is absolutely the best part

feelings

(Your comment is over mine)

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

I was going to complain your comment is lower, but I think I might have to admit it's over.

Problem? Seems as good a way as any to say conflicting feelings can go suck a dick when they need to reconcile with these facts over here. Dumb to get peeved over that.

"Facts over feelings" has been used almost exclusively by conservative "influencers" for the last decade (despite them not really caring about facts, mind you). It's a dog whistle at this point for being a massive dickwad.

Maybe unlearn that or learn to throw it back?

Letting the other camp "own" signs like fake news, 👌🏼, or facts over feelings is basically cooperating with them & validating whatever they decide those signs mean for the rest of us. Yet the literal meaning of those words (& signs) can serve anyone. Language can be creative, no?

Instead of ceding to them like a bunch of feeble losers (and implying we only argue with feelings), maybe we should reappropriate what was given, stir confusion, apply some creativity to make those signs serve us against the "dickwads" we oppose?

That purity mentality of recoiling from anything "tainted" by those we oppose isn't useful. It's better to restore, redeem, create.
