And here we go. Already Ive been tricked into sending my penis to three of these so called "Group chats". I now have no choice but to shut down my alt where I pretend to be a 36 yr old Sex Worker from Brooklyn, offering my calloused, world weary perspective interspersed with moments of gentle warmth

Isn't it wild that we have a group that is doing 90%+ of certain crimes but we never discuss the specificity of that and are instead made to feel like we are all just needing to protect ourselves from the inherent nature of...."people" When it's a very specific population of people doing it.

Glass bottle for Cayenne (sometimes spelt ‘Kyan’ in this period) pepper with silver mount and spoon (London, 1794). Who said English food before 1970 was bland?

i've just started playing subnautica 2 and there are encyclopedia entries in the game for all the underwater aliens you can scan. and all of them have some references to actual earth marine life so i'm spending 50% of my time in game and 50% on wikipedia, learning about ocean freaks. GOTY

took a nap yesterday on the couch and had a vivid dream where some guy with a knife attacked a friend. clearly that attacker needed a good kickin', which he got. unfortunately my body was so enthusiastic about the scene that i also full-force kicked my foot into the corner of my couch table. 🥴

the principle of compositionality says that the meaning of a sentence is composed from the meanings of its parts, which allows us to understand even sentences we have never heard before.

that's a very good point and i would also like to point out that the whole "leftists just hate technology" thing is obviously bullshit - all leftists i know love the trend towards electric cars! even the really anti car ones think it's miles better than gas cars.

if your fancy economics training shows that the numbers keep going up but the people are convinced they're in a recession, maybe your first instinct shouldn't be to say that the people are experiencing their own lives wrong. maybe the numbers just don't mean anything.

made it all the way to song two on the first of three albums and i think this is enough drake for the year. i don't want to hear you rapping about putting hits on people after you were in court saying "wap wap wap wap wap, dot fuck him up" made you fear for your life, this is just corny.

Really not sure how a democracy comes back from "no, that statewide election with a clear result didn't count because we say so." When of course in my state we 1) didn't even get a vote and 2) the state police held guns to the opposition, including my representative, to get their bill passed.

does anyone know why we state pronouns as "he/him", "she/her", "they/them"? why both cases? are there people who go by e.g. male pronouns in the nominative case and female pronouns strictly in the objective / oblique case? where did that come from?

i never would have found out who that aaron rodericks guy is if he hadn't thrown a tantrum and started banning people for pointing out that at one point he liked barely legal porn from his official account. weird that he chose to make this so public.

No, actually, a woman pointing out there seem to be some gendered patterns in the way certain men (men like Dawkins) engage with and are uncritical of gAI and its products and sycophancy does not mean that woman believes ‘women are immune’ Reading is a very necessary skill.

i say this as somebody who isn't a fan of the mass effect games: if you post a long thread in which you seriously claim that fascism was easy to install in the US because americans liked the mass effect games too much, the amount of grass you need to touch could cover a continent.

The UK in 2026, folks. Forcing people to leave to keep their children safe. People leaving their country because they no longer feel safe in it. Congratulations Conservatives, Labour and our mainstream media. I hope you're proud of yourselves. I think you should actually be utterly ashamed.

pro ai people always ignore that those of us who are anti ai have receipts... we are not just making wild claims with no backing. they have no actual response to the facts, they just hand wave and call us uninformed.
