There’s no such thing. It’s just a gooey mass of billions of randomly firing neurons that can coalesce into patterns of signals and “brute force” answers to math problems. We are not logic machines with well defined mechanisms of functionality like a computer. We just fake it very well. That’s why we can make mistakes. A well built computer does not make mistakes.
I think almost all articles like this are deliberately written in a confusing manner. 60 to 31?
Anti … Ban …?
60 whats to 31 whats?
Yes, after reading things over twice, I gather 60 republicans to 31 democrats, or something like that, but hell why do political articles have to be written in such a confusing way?
The English language is already awkward enough, but it would help if the title didn’t have a double negative.
Transphobic bathroom ban
phobic + ban = double negative
“Phobic” isn’t even in the title
“Anti-trans ban” is pretty simple, honestly.

Hate motivated ban
No it isn’t, that’s like saying, “Don’t feel sad” is a double negative
A double negative is something like, “Don’t not do that”
Honestly, I’m reading it as a triple negative. I wasn’t planning on nitpicking it, but “force through” falls under the negative category for me.
I feel like you’re still thinking of the wrong kind of “negative”. It has multiple meanings, in this case, a synonym of “no”.
Also, double negative…
Anti-trans ban? That’s a double negative, when cancelling our the negatives, that means it’s pro-trans.
Sorry but I think with the mathematical part of my brain. Throw two negatives into a sentence and they cancel out and become a positive.

Yes, anti-trans ban is indeed a double negative, I agree with you there.
the first doesn’t negate the second, it describes it. it is a ban which is anti-trans or transphobic. this is not a double negative!

No.
Phobic describes the motivation for the act, which is a ban.
Phobia is a noun…

Honestly I don’t care, English language is pretty convoluted as it is…
That’s cool, he didn’t say phobia, he said phobic
