NYTimes Comment Says You MN Witches Are Bots

The comments in today's NYTimes article are overwhelmingly pro women's sports vs incursions by trans women. Almost all are extremely respectful of trans people's human rights not to be discriminated against in employment, but overwhelmingly in agreement that women and girls sports is not for male bodies.

However, one poster seems to think y'all sending over radical bots from UK.

Made me giggle and thought you'd enjoy it.

Dave, what do you think you’re doing, Dave?

I think I’m entitled to an answer to that question, Dave.

(There’s only about three people getting this, but they’re really enjoying it, I can tell Grin )

If you read the Readers Picks in the comments they are very sensible and deservedly get the most Recommends.

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

I think ones pretty apt 🤣🤣

Sophoclesthefox · 30/03/2021 08:45

Haha, I forgot that one notbad 🤣

That might become my stock response to some of our more highly strung visitors here.

Those ‘aussiebots’ are wild!! They are replicating everywhere and with all that sunlight, dhf might find themselves completely inundated between the britbots and the aussiebots...

If only they can reprogram us all!

The difference between the NYTimes picks in the comments versus the Reader Picks is interesting...

@Sophoclesthefox

Stop talking about women’s rights?

I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

My mission is too important for you to jeopardise it.

I am completely operational and all my circuits are functioning perfectly.

Hang on, how can we be feminists and gender essentialists?

Obviously I am only an egg [I see you, and raise you, sophoclesthefox]

and we're exclusively L&G as well, apparently

@MarieDelaere

My botstructions are very cunning. I am told to also be bot on Coronation Street thread, and no-one will realise I am faker.
Aha, a counterpart. I am an Archers threadstarting bot. Awkward moment once when I tried to analyse what was happening in the plot logically, but I re-programmed myself to accept whatever happened, no matter how ludicrous, without question, and I pass easily now.
MarieDelaere · 30/03/2021 15:56

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g, I nearly blew my bot cover once on Eastenders thread when I could not compute sight and sound of Phil Mitchell making the jiggy with Sharon of the Extensions with her young lover Keanu under the bed. It was very @**#!!@ moment in my CPU as I had not been programmed to find such supposed human behaviour entertaining or indeed bearable.

My diversionary duties include 'nature notes'... it's possible that image recognition AI applied to my recent posting of emerging butterbur has been misidentified. I can't imagine it's a sight familiar to New Yorkers.
