There are a lot of well-meaning guidelines on suicide prevention that frankly should not apply when the government is intentionally causing a suicide epidemic in a specific minority population.

How I wish this were satire. More like a billionaires wet dream. IG: thejuicemedia

Make it exist first... then leave it exactly as it is because quite frankly other tasks take priority sometimes. It's already good enough and nobody will spot that tiny mistake, and the fact that you created something in the first place is already an achievement

I think we probably need to separate "liberals are mad about this" from "one guy is mad about this (will stancil)"

(context: audhd) the hardest part of the process of coming out to my parents was them interpreting my statements through a lens of me cycling through intense but temporary interests across the course of my life

If your upbringing taught you that allowing queer people to exist like every other citizen is incorrect, your upbringing was flawed and bigoted and your responsibility is to adapt and work on yourself.

purity testing is when I say I don’t want the state trying to kill me

There is a REASON I left my hometown and it's this. Now, I try to tell people the things I'd hear every day from "good upstanding Christians" and they usually accuse me of exaggeration.

I keep seeing people going "Oh, data centre power usage is only a fraction of the grid. We spend so much more water on farming!" Now 1) we should be pushing for more efficient crops and agriculture methods. That's good stuff. But 2) WE FUCKING NEED FOOD TO LIVE. YOU DON'T NEED AI FOR ANYTHING.

Also: I guarantee you have some ingrained misogyny that you haven't examined. So do I, in fact! It doesn't mean you're evil, it's simply an unavoidable consequence of living in a culture so tied to misogyny. Best to accept that you're gonna slip up and work on issues as you notice them.

> Willingness to say "I don't know" collapsed from 44% to 3% when AI was available. Monetary incentives barely helped "I don't know" is CRITICAL for improving - without it someone can't see need for improvement - and to doing anything competently, it's our clue to slow down or find someone who does

It's weird to have an ear for voice actors. You hear one random side character do a silly accent and go "surely that's not matt mercer" You search and see that the VA credit for that character has been scrubbed from IDMB and the fan wiki Keep digging and find in TVTropes: yes it fucking is

gambler's fallacy is essentially warhammer 40k ork logic that independent events can become dependent if the vibes are right

maybe a more precise phrasing of the original point would be people can produce careless work or careful work but LLMs can only produce careless work, even if it is sometimes correct, because they are incapable of care

low-key it's kind of all about giving The Thoughts jester privilege

Nothing says “I should be taxed more“ more than using $82 million to argue that you should not, in fact, be taxed more.

every time I walk by a hot trans lady and try to be subtly like "I'm gay as shit and you're super hot but in a respectful way" I feel like Jimmy neutron

What I think is really good about Beauty and the Beast is that he seems like a comical side character for much of the film until his vanity and misogyny drive him to become main antagonist. How traits which seem ridiculous become hugely destructive when they are indulged as much as he is.

I don’t care what genre you write in. I don’t care how cheap your cover is. I don’t care if you use em dashes, en dashes or far too many ellipses. I don’t care if you have short chapters or long. I don’t care if you yeeted your quotation marks. JUST LET IT BE YOUR OWN. My God.

Sarsaparilla felt like putting on a show for this cleanse. My little vaudevillian 💜

what did god mean when he said "i am the alpha and the omega"? that he can mpreg himself? i'm here all week folks

two mechanics who are bitter rivals and the high maintenance robot girl who can't choose between them (the mechanics are also ladies)

I need this reminder because I grew up in a landlocked desert and natural water features are a strange thing I often forget exist

consistency

If I ever got to be on Gastronauts, my challenge would be inspired by KFC’s Double Down, where they’d have to make a version of a popular dish, but with the carbohydrates replaced with meat. I intend to die on the show, is what I’m saying

They´re here, and they look tasty! Our brand new Dino Nuggie plushies can not only be heated and put into your pockets but they also, unlike other nuggies out there, got all 4 legs on em. They´re now available in our shop 🦖🍗 therbisstudio.com

I don't think we should mince words. Transphobia and hatred killed May Pollard. The Idaho legislature killed her as surely as if they'd pointed a gun at her head and pulled the trigger. Anti-trans laws were the gun. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The first time Trump was President there was a new plague that had semi trailers filled with dead bodies in NYC and now we're all about to get the worst diarrhea in the history of the known world. It's gonna have its own entry in social studies books in the future

Anyway, it rules that we’re still retelling the Odyssey, like you could go back in time and hang out with some Mediterranean dorks from before the birth of Christ and be like “this situation reminds me of Penelope’s tribulations” and they’d be like “hell yeah dude, good pop culture reference”

Taco Bell was one of the first companies to sign the "Yes, we WILL only buy tomatoes from farms that stop doing slavery" pledge with Coalition of Immokalee Workers. @immokaleeworkers.bsky.social

Mamdani left soccer field lights on all night…..the lights usually go off at 10pm. They set a camera up and guess what they saw?? Residents playing soccer with their friends ALL NIGHT. One man said how much he loved it because his friends work late and can’t get to the field before 10pm.

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

If you see this, reskeet with a Sentai team that is not Power Rangers or Super Sentai

I'm seeing a couple of posts wondering why creatives/would-be creatives don't get the damage being caused by generative AI, and my honest opinion is: 1. The general public is not being taught the ins and outs of AIs right. WE, meaning this online silo, might get it, but a lot of people don't.

The billionaires have a vision of the future, and in it, many of us are dead. Not because they all want to kill us (some of them want to kill some of us), but because we are simply surplus and expendable in their eyes.

The one *real* antisocial behavior that has ballooned out of control and affected everyday life on public transit? TikToks blasted from phone speakers at full volume.

Seriously, THIS. "Cringe" means nothing but "You ought to be embarrassed by what embarrasses *me!" Who died and left *you* God of our enjoyments? Go off somewhere quiet and grow yourself enough spine to enjoy what you enjoy without other people having to give you *permission* to. 🫤

This is why the Bell will be the last one standing in the restaurant wars

"parasite outbreak blamed on taco bell because they're the only company reporting it" feels very "1918 flu blamed on Spain because they're the only country reporting it"

Hooray for my 8 year HRTversary 🐻💜 One of the best choices I ever made!

i do love a murderous woman

just let me casually fall upon mine own sword

here's a question from the AMA that i've been asked a lot and i wanted to show to other people — i think there's a lot of anxiety about thinking through masculinity in 7PP as a cis man and i hope this answer can help reassure some people

After WW2 the French did what the US did *not* do in Reconstruction or denazification: it executed the collaborators, even those who merely lent unofficial aid, drove them into poverty, stripped them of political power, and marked them as untouchable filth.

holy shit, chat

KELLY: Can you tell me why Joe Biden was certified as the winner of the 2020 election? CLAYTON: ... I really ... Uhm ... I don't want to continue to debate about this, but I believe he had the most electoral votes KELLY: So he won the election? C: ... hahehe K: Trump isn't even in the room today
