the pew political typology quiz is kinda baffling to me because it seems to place my answers in the "loyal liberal" zone despite me not really being able to identify any question on which my answers look clearly noticeably more like that than one of the more leftward clusters (and with the most divergent answers - from some mix of autistic precision and actual disagreement - looking generally about equally divergent from either)

racists are calling me a twink (???) because i said it was morally deranged to think attacking anyone vaguely allegedly demographically associated with a particular murderer is somehow beneficial to or honoring the murder victim

im not particularly gender conforming but if you think me *being trans* is a kind of gender noncomformity in a sense with much more meaning than the statistical (most women are, after all, cis), i do basically consider that just misgendering with extra steps

for complex moral-spiritual-personal reasons i feel conflicted on this but i can totally get the "i relate to LLMs" mindset (not as in like, socializing with LLMs, but as in feeling like one has a bunch in common with them in some manner, or at least their cultural image or position, directionally compared to human baseline)

honestly it still kind of annoys me that my post about potential collisions in conversations about the meaning of "punk" is being taken mostly as a sprinboard for reblogging extremely basic and uninteresting object level positions on one half of the conversations rip

its funny to see misgendering floated as like, a thing corporations are not allowed to do, here in the context of like controls on AI output or such and how those will evolve, when like - the current directive of much of the power in the anglosphere is to try and banish correctly gendering trans people, and particularly to treat any affirmation of gender to trans children (children the subject of a lot of AI control stuff) as particularly illicit - IME many corporations like, ~misgender their trans employees as a matter of course routinely, not just by particular superiors being transphobic but also written into the system, in the process particularly of not having a way to deal with someone's name not being their legal name which like really does not need to be this hard to deal with but they are very bad at it not cascading way beyond tax forms or such

i have never in my life encountered anyone unironically talking about gifted kid burnout, only people making fun of it my natural instinct in this kind of case is to assume the people making fun of it are wrong ngl, but i suppose its possible its a thing. but it still sure comes off as something they are mostly making up to get mad at in practice
