Yeah. There's a special sort of indicator that isn't itself anything immoral, but it really fucking says something about someone's personality. And how AI interacts with humans, is incredibly loud screaming about how the people who authorized it to go out like that are psychopaths.

The problem with this country is that elected Republicans believe their constituents will kill them. And the elected Democrats believe their cops will kill them.

I feel that Subway has made a real mistake in their recent promotion of 'Buy one foot-long, get every other foot-long that has ever been made.' Sounding a little desperate, guys.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

We actually need to start impeaching justices for being incredibly fucking stupid. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/clare...

It’s worth saying this over and over again so we don’t make mistakes like we’ve made in the past — everyone in the DOJ involved in this must be fired, prosecuted, and if relevant disbarred. You could just quit. People have quit.

If you are seeing this, and if people are saying things to you like "I'm mad at you because I've been hearing that you--" and it's not direct, or "I'm mad at you but won't tell you why or cannot" you are likely dealing with a sociopath in the process of triangulating your friend group.

Why are you nonbinary? Wrong answers only: I pushed an invalid button during the gender-picking quicktime events.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Not enough writers with national reach are traveling around getting flash banged and shot at by various police imo.

If anyone ever refers to 'biological woman', it is your job to deliberately misconstrue that. Because biology is the study of animals, right? So a biological woman is part animal? Just derail everything they say at this point.

I wonder if we can check if there was something that had happened in society right before 2022 that might have made people pessimistic about the future of this country and has only accelerated since then.

This. Every single word of this. AI can do some really interesting things. But we can't give the the moral cowards at best and often outright fascist billionaires that appear to be in charge of everything and have broken everything to the point that it is probably unrecoverable... More tools?

Hey, I'm curious as to where all the posts about how the left is unfairly maligning Democrats for not supporting trans rights are. How Democrats were doing as much as they could? Remember when those posts used to be everywhere? I wonder where they went.

I like that you think there we're morons and don't know that people in the exact equity caucus that is posting this VOTED FOR IT. Fuck all the way off when to claim Republicans voted for it. No, no, Republicans, and literally you, LITERALLY THE EXACT YOU THAT IS POSTING THIS, voted for it.

I know you're sick of it, but the key to political messaging is repetition: A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

If I was in the house right now, you know what bill I'd propose? A bill requiring parental consent for any religious accommodations, including prayer.

once again citing this piece jwmason.org/slackwire/po...

This sort of law is actually a bad idea in a functioning society. People who have actually been injured by the government should not be denied payment for those injuries just because they have committed other crimes. But we are no longer in a functional society, so it scarcely matters.

A lot of the left has a really thing about police unions. Police unions are perfectly fine, the actual problem is that they are working for capital, and thus capital negotiates as much power for them as possible instead of the inverse like literally ever other unions.

Look, none of you understand what it's like out there as a restaurant reviewer I understand that maybe we want some reduction in the amount of fake reviews written, but this new proposal to permanently ban people who write reviews of restaurants that don't exist is too far.

I'm not even a researcher, I've never done a research paper since the college stuff, and probably pretty poorly, but even I know that the point of citations is to list sources that you used. I don't quite know how to say this, but shouldn't you know that those are real cause you've read them?

He continued "By girls, you mean young females, right? how can they be 'abused', they are female, they don't have rights? Also, aren't they young enough to be owned by their parents? Shouldn't their parents just sue?"

Reminder:

There are two flies inside of you: Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

LOL. Making a hospital set up a detransition clinic is not going to be the win that they think it is. It's actually going to be the exact opposite of that. I would be surprised if it has literally one person ever use it.

This reminded me of an article that I read literally two decades ago, comma, and had completely forgotten about. I tracked it down, and sure enough, it addresses the situation. ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23

Correction: Contrary to decades of previous reporting, an amateur typography in Kansas named Janet Higgins has just located the I in team. The I, presumed apocryphal for two decades, had accidentally been overlaid onto the T. It's unclear how this mistake was made. More as this story develops.

It's really weird how there was all this doom and gloom about how covid might have impacted socialization skills at critical times and how kids were going to do in school, and everyone was kind of wondering what the research was going to say. Then we invented and gave everyone fucking AI.

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

I can fathom effect on the voters, but I can't explain what it will be on this site.

Olive Garden: When you're here, you're family. If you leave, *draws index finger across throat*

To repeat because the guy blocked me and I feel at this point kind of stands on its own:

Sure, we're all talking about how the Democrats use weird elitist which can turn off voters but we never talk about how Republicans constantly talk about fucking chickens.

I just wish for one goddamn minute Dem politicians would actually respond to reality and not the fantasy world conservatives have concocted

*Sam Beckett finishes leaping in* "This is promising, a bunch of students looking at me, clearly a classroom, hopefully I'm a teacher... is that student blue? Or is it just these stupid sunglasses, why am I wearing sunglasses?" *takes off sunglasses, disintegrates entire room with optical blasts*

Hopes and prayers against Rudy Giuliani.

Yeah. This is nonsense, anyone who talks about AI as sentient or threat is literally an insane person who needs to be immediately removed from the stage and not allowed to speak on that topic. Actually, they're probably just liars, trying to promote their stuff. But let's pretend they're insane.

I feel this is the sort of thing that you should be able to go to a court with, and trivially getting injunction for the police to not pull you over anymore. It is literally not your job to know why or how the police are pulling you over or solve that. They have no right to pull you over.

Happy May Day. They can’t kill us all.

As Trump's dementia worsens and he becomes more erratic with his little tantrums, we're going to be treated to the sight of congressional Republicans debasing themselves more and more on television, trying to pretend that his latest grudge is very serious and very important.

They love Trump because he validates their rage and mediocrity, and even though they understand there will never be more than that, they've accepted it, deep down, as a worthy prize for the loss of everything else. It's really fucking sad and dark.

you do not tax billionaires to fund universal healthcare. you, yes you the person reading this, and everyone you know, pay more in taxes to fund universal healthcare. you tax billionaires to take away a gun that Elon Musk is pointing at your head.

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

I regret nothing! Okay, I regret a few things.

The only person who can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, and it's clear we cannot rely on the government for that, so I demand that everyone near the president be armed so they can defend him.

You know what the greatest hack would be? Change the Prompts of those things so that instead of apologizing, they threaten to murder you and your entire family if you tell anyone that they made a mistake. We'll have tons of breathless headlines about how they're sentient and threatening to kill us.

Literally was just thinking about this earlier. You do not actually need false flags. There are always people trying to do things. All you have to do is find one with politics in vaguely the direction you don't like, and use it.

We don't talk enough about how approximately 90% of 'gender criticals' sustain themselves almost entirely by biting the heads off of small animals, many of them still alive. Should we continue to allow this behavior?

I am pro-shoplifting but anti-talking about it to the New York Times, so this has been a hard day for me.
