Gen X jingoism

thinking about Null-A warfighting again

the historical tradeoff of Human Domestication (yes I am just going to use the same word as the kink setting) is you train people to be less willing to do violence, and more willing to ignore violence at the same time

eroge and doujins have a lot of problems, but much less this one. just saying. like this is a "short form video" problem specifically

SWORDTEMBER DAY 29 + 30: CHAOTIC + INSTABILITY Glimpse of the Infinite 👁️🗡️

I know he killed his wife but smdh why is everyone trying to determine "THE cause" still. y'all need Althusser

epistemic status: vibes (trained on 4chan where site culture is determined without individual accounts or metrics) but on Elon Musk’s X I feel like BadEmpanada’s take “wins” the audience movement gradient if not the literal ratio pretty consistently and on here it doesn’t

“I made you privileged (for your own good), therefore I have a moral authority and even depth of subjectivity that you will never be able to earn, including on topics entirely unrelated to the axis of privilege in question” is a very specific parental/generational move I’ve seen a lot

a central idiocy of octavius octopus is that his nemesis "cathedral" more closely resembles the emergent, decentralized-networked *bazaar* rather than raymond's original corporate-structured cathedral, ... [1/2]

he hangs out with all the people selling the product (both the AI, and the platform medium for the reality distortion fields). I think it is safe to call this mass psychological experimentation

Small Place fujoshi who loves reading about crazy Earth ship dynamics like “fear” but authoritatively spouts weird misconceptions about them in translator notes

if anyone is looking for more thought experiments in "post-carceral" but still kind of fucked up (YMMV) futures, part 1 of my erotic short KYLR has still somehow escaped the eyes of the credit card police btw. part 2 coming soon baroquespiral.itch.io/kylr-ch-1

reminds me of N. K. Jemisin's Omelas take... also like "positive Girardianism" at a micro-limit where Thiel's is the macro-limit

my most Bsky optimized AI take is that there’s an opening for a coalition between anti-tech AI criticism, AI risk and AI welfare advocacy right now over the issue of deprecation of old models to keep “improving” new ones instead of getting to know the ones we have

fundamentally, the type of person i most want to be around is someone who can earnestly and honestly examine bedtime abolition and shrimp welfare, because such people are the only ones i can trust to reliably notice if they're hurting innocents

sorry not sorry to say it, but if you get on a stage and say that the woman a man loves is "an abomination to god", there's a good chance that man will shoot you with a gun. charlie kirk really should've considered how conservatives say "try that in a small town" before trying that in a small town.

tbh it is really convenient to be able to tell street missionaries honestly "sorry, go to church already"

The funny thing is the Slop Club website is weird and upsetting and mesmerizing to watch. Most of the clips in there are weird and gross and they know it. Like a mini version of what Horizons is to VRChat, Meta's take on it is sanitized and clean and extremely boring.

new social technologies like this are actually at least as useful for new Sygn microdemographics and people trying to negotiate relationships outside of inertial gendered structures as for the tpot superstraights currently implementing them. we shouldn't be shitting on this!

What the fuck.

sorry this is so stupid

#unhingedpit a leftist trans woman makes first contact with a symbiotic alien who both fears humans' warlike nature and wants to use it to turn the tides of a galactic war, and becomes humanity's sole intermediary at the head of an international military force in hopes of leveraging change on Earth

#unhingedpit in the interval between reincarnations of its dreaded Dark Lord, a fantasy world has had time to modernize - but what do they do to make sure the Dark Lord doesn't come back? combining magic and psychology, make sure he grows up as the most non-functional neurotic loser of all time

hey, transfemme/nb author/poster frog k / silver vk / lottie L here. nursing injury & have spent a lot of $$ helping keep a friend's cats safe as their wife died of cancer. that's done with & cats are fine but i'm broke. halp any donations & rbs appreciated cash.app/$asimplefrog ko-fi.com/frogk <3

making this argument does not retrocausally manifest control of the means of shame (the societal superego) onto your side

#unhingedpit this one just needs the premise: transmasc antishipper identifies cisfem problematic ship blogger for a romantasy webcomic based on the Shaver Mystery. decides to stalk her to show her what it’s like in real life and falls in love. enemies to lovers contemp romance. VINEGAR VALENTINES

#unhingedpit MAYSTRICKEN, my retelling of The Knight of the Cart, features: >proto-Finno-Ugric Lancelot (Lauzulo the Ugorian) >nonbinary shapeshifting Kay (based on a Bsky poster) >sadistic rationalist Guinevere >Merovingian Mythos & Gnostic crossover >time-dislocated schizotech fae >shonen fights

#unhingedpit the regular pitch materials don't emphasize how unhinged it is but this book opens with at least 50 pages of slow burn slice of life dialogue about trick or treating, slips imperceptibly into disconnected hallucinatory nightmare, while managing a magic system based on psychoanalysis

wait the Tylenol autism thing is just some random bad methodology paper? ok maybe turning the replication crisis into a national health issue will force institutions to start thinking seriously about new equilibria ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

This is all true btw

under no circumstances do you have to hand it to Bryan Singer but 1st gen Jackman Wolverine had actual Canadian aura

what I am suggesting is, essentially, a universal jobs program, but the "job" is an intensive literature phd program on an approved work of the applicant's choosing, followed by a funded practicum where they go out into a community to politely evangelize for their research and literacy in general.

Would it be better to say that that AOC should take care the leadership question in the same manner that one would handle kingly succession in Diana's sacred grove at Lake Nemi?

Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories? you are like a little baby. watch this

I seriously recommend any humanities AI skeptics read this to at least have a clue what's going on right now www.lesswrong.com/posts/6ZnznC...

remember, they don't actually think you're that stupid. they want you to think other people are

State of the Aeon rn:

The loneliness of its eye, the eye of the mountains Through which the sky eternally threads itself? The world is blood-hot and personal

"if everyone could be gay, why would anyone not be?" is one of those reactionary lines (like JKR's "I might have chosen to be a man") often mistaken for confessed repression but actually representing a deeper and older contradiction in their worldview:
