“bits to use in everyday conversations”
my friend's discord server has a "proof of touch grass" channel where they post pics of them doing regular activities outdoors/in public. i think many online spaces could benefit from such a thing
when i was super depressed - like struggling to eat anything barely able to get out of bed to pee depressed - my good friend asked me every day to send her a picture of me holding a leaf and a picture of a meal i was eating and it helped me significantly
(also, she was never judgey - if my meal was a single potato chip she would simply say good job eating a potato chip today <3 )
which is to say, i agree proof of touch grass is a good idea for online spaces
This kinda required my brain a bit
thinking again about the controversy about AI deepfakes and how that can easily create misinformation, and on some level, i feel like that's approaching the problem from the wrong direction. as xkcd said, we've had "text deepfakes" for thousands of years.
just. my last reblog was a gif of a dog digging a hole on the moon. it's very realistic; while i'm sure some sort of expert could "debunk" it, I, the layperson, can't see any obvious flaws in it. but i know it's fake, because i know the fact that dogs cannot dig holes on the moon. i don't *need* to have the technical know-how to spot the seams, i just need to be reasonably educated in the subject to know what is and isn't true.
and i know, i know, it's more complicated than that, obviously people can't be expected to be educated in every single topic that happens to come to their attention, but i still think the obvious solution has more to do with having clear, easily accessible information than being able to spot the "tells" of ai, which are likely to be ever changing as the technology evolves.
the more this conversation rages on the more important this becomes i think. if you're worried about something lying to you, verify the INFORMATION, not the presentation. the presentation is going to keep evolving, forever. "is this true," however, will always be an objective yes/no answer. as a bonus, you'll also catch the regular low-tech liars as well.
A huge underlying problem, I think, is the loss of manual crafts in the modern world.
Which sounds odd, but hear me out.
Imagine a world where blacksmithing was still reasonably common. Maybe you don't do it yourself, but you've seen other people do it. You, and most people, have at some point stood in a room where the fire from a forge is burning. It's uncomfortably hot, but not fatal. At that heat, you've watched metal become malleable enough that a human with above- average human strength can deform it easily with a hammer.
You haven't just read about this. It's not just knowledge. You've felt it with your body. Regardless of how well you understand the subject, you've developed a certain degree of intuition about how these things work, and so has everybody else.
How far would "jet fuel can't melt steel beams," get in that society?
ehhh i don't know about that. i mean, yes, it would combat some very specific misunderstandings, but the problem with conspiracy and misinformation is that liars and conmen are *really good* at lying through flash and spectacle alone. you can know something, but some swaggaring charismatic guy can still twist you around until you don't know which way is up any more. that's why for example, even doctors can get swept up in anti-medicine campaigns, despite their practical experience, because the lie is about manipulating your emotions, not your cognition.
like, you do have a point that having more practical skills would likely lead to people having a broader pool of 'common sense' type knowledge, but they would still easily fall prey to things like "vaccines cause autism" and "climate change isn't real," and even "the earth is flat," all of which are conspiracy theories that actually leverage your "common sense" to trick you into doubting anything that you can't prove with only your own senses. so more practical skills would shift around what we do and do not fall for, but i don't think it would really lessen the problem any. like i said, i think the only real solution is to get into a habit of checking information, at the very least every time you want to repeat it.
That's fair--I hadn't considered the snake oil salesmen angle.
A big part of why I've mostly stopped arguing online is because I came to realize how many people posted absolutely sound, logical arguments which reflected zero real life experience with the topic they were talking about.
I've been attributing that to how much people try to learn purely through text and how ideas bounce around echo chambers until all the rough edges are scraped off, but yeah, a good con man can have the same effect.

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."
--Adam Savage
I sew a bit. I carpentry a bit. I think of them as basically being the same skill.

if your most recent ex asked you to fuck, would you do it?
yes
no

NO NUANCE OR IN BETWEEN! simple yes or no! imagine that you're single, they're single, doing this wouldn't affect anything in anyone's life or be "wrong" in any way, you would just bang and then walk away.
Just came home from a dinner party with the friendgroup at which several people kept saying "Ask Pedro" or "Pedro will know" and I was terrified that they were referring to an AI like Claude but no, thank fuck, they were referring to a cardboard cutout of Pedro Pascal that someone left upstairs and who has been designated a kind of patron saint status in the household.

I helped my metamore's friends move heavy furniture today. Before everyone had shown up, I started poking around, then asked someone "do you mind if I pilfer these lichens?"
She responded, "Not at all! We're philanthropic with our lichens. You might even say we're...lycan-thropic." Then she laughed at her own joke so hard she choked on her drink.
Which is to say, I have a bunch of new besties now. I should probably try to learn and remember their names.

luv how male animals gotta fucking dance around and cry and shit for female attention and sex. and then men irl complain about fat women and body hair like get on ur fucking knees and beg me actually
like these tarantulas dude?? the male has to tap out a rhythm she likes and if she doesn’t?? she’ll literally eat him.
Alpha males: "This is nature. You don't see animals acting like queers don't you?"
90% of nature documentaries: "Until now the female has been very impressed by the males drag performance of Orwell's Homage To Catalonia, soundtracked exclusively by Maria Carey songs. A demanding performance like that knows to impress. But... Oh No... One note in the final tune was one cent flat. It doesn't look good for the male now. She is ordering an orbital laser strike to burn his beautifully groomed plumage from space. It will take all year to regrow, effectively ending this one's mating season early. Better luck next time, little guy. Women are a tough audience."

There's something thats just so incredibly funny about the Afroman lawsuit cause theres literally no substance to it. Seeing all these cops getting upset and offended by Afroman music in a courtroom setting is just so fucking funny. Like a lawyer asking a cop "what private information of yours exactly was breached by the phrase "receding hairline dipshit"?" Like you could have saved yourself the extra humiliation, but instead you guys took it to court and now everyone has seen your sheriff literally break down crying over a song that says she licks pussy. Thats just objectively hilarious
I can't get over this. Afroman releasing individual diss tracks about each of the cops is so good. Cause like its one thing to make one or two songs about the house raid, but then to proceed to make a song called "Randy Walters is a son of a Bitch", call him out by name and say you fucked his wife, and then have that same cop go on court record saying he cannot confirm or deny that he got cucked by Afroman. Like congrats man. Before, everyone just thought he was joking about fucking your wife, but now you wont deny it
being a humanities major who’s friends with stem majors is so funny because you’ll ask your friends what they’re doing today and they’re like “UGH it’s so stressful i have to stabilize the reactor core for my nuclear power midterm and then i have to build the supercomputer from i have no mouth yet i must scream for my electrical engineering homework :/ what about you” and you’re like “oh well i have to read a fun little book and write an essay about gender.” and they still think you have it worse
Being a stem major who's friends with humanities majors is ALSO funny bc you ask what's goin on with them and they're like "oh yeah my day's pretty good! I only have to read 50 pages for this one class today and half a book for another one. It's much better than last week where I read three books and wrote a 10 page paper about their overlapping motifs for one class while also researching a niche period of time that our library doesn't have any resources on. How's it been for you?" and you're like "oh I have a lil packet of fun math puzzles due tomorrow." and they look at you like you're carrying the weight of the universe on your back
This is your reminder that just because something falls within the skillset you've practiced, so you can do it and you don't find it particularly hard or stressful relative to other things, it doesn't mean it isn't actually hard work you should be proud of yourself for accomplishing!
this applies to writing and art, too
This also applies to ongoing life issues.
Other people's disabilities and struggles aren't necessarily worse than yours. You're used to your own and have experience managing them.
