There is nothing in the definitions of pride that necessitates it either, so yes including if you care about what it actually means rather than what you want it to mean. If you look up the definition of the word it includes multiple definitions of pride that do not require your own personal accomplishments or actions, and those are not new definitions. It's extremely common in the English language for a word to have multiple meanings depending on the context they're used in that may be connected but are not necessarily the same.

Not if they're just straight up wrong about the definition.

It's the only right opinion in that picket line, but the fact that it's grouped with the antisemitic shit is just a show of how the right views Palestine. Never mind all the Jewish people who support freeing Palestine too 🙄

Better hope that first attempt doesn't succeed.

That's actually not true, there are quite a lot of cells in our bodies which are never replaced such as the lenses, cones, and rods in our eyes, egg cells, neurons, the hairs that detect sound in our ears, our heart muscles, among many others. The ones that do get replaced vary greatly in how long that takes or how often it happens.

Which is ironic because the progressive ideal is to leave the concept of "normal" behind entirely and embrace new different things instead of excluding those who are different.

This was definitely made by someone trolling. The chances of Trump's fans coming up with this purely by accident is too small.

It's lying by proxy because the ones who know better are letting it answer, and thus lie, for them.

Why do official companies or governments or anything with authority keep using ai chatbots? They've already got a bad track record it's inexplicable that anyone would think that theirs is somehow exempt.

That's a leap in logic. Pride is a personal thing no one else can dictate what you are or aren't proud of, nor can they dictate what you're ashamed of. Someone else being proud of their heritage in no way implies that you have to he ashamed of yours.

There's nothing that necessitates that you can only be proud of things you have personally done.

I mean there are different types of pride. Being lgbt isn't a decision either, yet we have Pride, because being proud of who you are is often about more than just accomplishments, for many people it's about accepting and embracing the parts of you that you can't change. Just because you don't personally like that it includes that definition, it doesn't erase the fact that that is a part of the definition and has been for a long time.
