Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
this is the clearest black and white picture of how the US is fucked. illegal unprovoked war at the height of financial, healthcare and employment crises by a rogue pedophile president and it has 3/4ths approval from the "opposition" party.
this is just who they are
they do bad things everywhere all the time because they are evil and stupid and constantly indulging their very worst impulses
there’s no twelve dimensional plan here
“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me
The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it
we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Flava Flav invited all the US Olympic athletes-women- to a free event in Vegas to honor /recognize them.

My Life as a Teenage Robot Jenny. Panel 1 - Jenny! Call me Jenny! I changed my name to Jenny remember? Panel 2 - remember when you were steam powered? Panel 3- you need to treat your body with more respect Panel 4- what's there to respect? Nobody in their right mind would want a body like mine Panel 5- she called me her daughter 🥺 She's trans
I do not believe the writers didn't know what they were doing. I can't even conceptualize a writers room that ends up ACCIDENTALLY hitting all these trans bullseyes
Also this guy doesn’t even want to raise taxes on the rich, one of the most popular policies right now. Table top issues my ass
screenshot from the linked-to timeline that reads: February 20, 2016: Insofar as I can tell, the first ever claim that "social contagion" is turning kids transgender. It occurs as a comment on the 4thwavenow.com "About" page, posted on February 20, 2016 at 5:27pm, under the handle "skepticaltherapist." Shortly thereafter, 4thwavenow.com turned this comment into its own post, called... February 29, 2016: 4thwavenow.com publishes "Tumblr snags another girl, but her therapist-mom knows a thing or two about social contagion." As noted in the previous entry, this is skepticaltherapist's earlier comment, posted along with a brief intro from the folks at 4thwavenow. There are several potentially noteworthy things about it, and the comments that follow it: o It begins by referencing a Star Trek TNG episode in which the crew becomes addicted to an alien video game, then makes the following analogy: "The alien mind control device made its way into my home about two years ago when my then eleven-year-old daughter begged me for a Tumblr account since her friends all had one." o In the piece, skepticaltherapist describes herself as a psychotherapist, later adding, "As a therapist, I mostly work with adults."
precisely 10 years ago today, the concept of "transgender social contagion" was first invented on the now infamous anti-trans parent website 4thWaveNow. a full timeline of how the concept spread (not unlike a "social contagion") can be found here: juliaserano.blogspot.com/2019/02/orig...

Dang you think that attitude is gonna win votes? Donald Trump won because you clowns didn’t run a good candidate.
Which law forced Gavin to make disassembling someone’s life into a photo op?
Weird that you couldn’t actually respond to the article. What’s wrong with the website?
Gavin Newsom, helping to pull apart and destroy homeless peoples’ stuff.
Here he is helping clear a homeless encampment

Newsom wasn’t being super emotional when he helped destroy homeless encampments, either. Or when he started agreeing with conservatives about rolling back trans people’s rights.
My Life As A Teenage Robot. Really had me feeling some kind of way about 8 or 9 years before I was ready to interrogate that.
Reminder that it is morally good to lie to your employer in order to to avoid their discrimination.
Lie to them whenever it benefits you, Thats what they do to us
every high profile anti trans critic has an origin story that goes "years ago someone asked me to respect trans people and instead I chose to go insane"
Trans people have plenty of reason not to be particularly jealous of your NHS
OpenAI Unveil “Final Slogan”
We have quite a lot of them, even if some (like highway 1) seem to spend more time closed than open
Ah yes the UK, aka TERF island, where the purportedly liberal government is wholesale dismantling trans rights. We can learn from them by not repeating their mistakes, you dullard.
Is this a bit? You have to tell me if it’s a bit, or it’s entrapment
It’s lucky that none of the other options in this question run a larger economy or that would make this whole convo kinda awkward
That’s the question, though, which one?
