We Will Rue The Day

On the evening of June 9, the USA, with what seems to be intent, attacked two reservoirs and a water treatment facility in southern Iran. Almost immediately afterwards, water was cut off to about 20,000 Iranian civilians who live around the southern Iranian town of Sirik.

Why was this most likely a deliberate attack? Well, there seems to have been nothing nearby of military value and the destruction was precise.

I've been reminded of the dog discourse and I remembered I was going to try and out into words that - when it comes to animals and vegans, people have very bad theory if mind going on. So much discourse comes down to people not believing vegans are being honest when they say they value animal lives, or rather not believing that they could be honest. Does that make sense?

Like people can't comprehend that someone could see a dog as not subhuman, so comparing dogs and children therefore must be an attack on children.

this does make sense yes. very much a thing in general tho tbh in the specific case of my wading into that last time im not sure most people responding where even aware of my views on animal rights broadly and were just rounding me off to some kind of dubiously constructed archetypal dog lover. and i did sort of go into that in a way that presented confrontationally. but veganism aside, i do also think theres a thing going on here of like. some humans see their companion animals as at least in theory on the level of friends or family, are probably hypocrites about this in regards to other animals (and often, like anyone in a position of such power and analogously to children, that animal in the limits), but are not believed or receive incredulity in their views here in the same way you describe and in how people react to veganism, even tho they are correct and not taken far enough

critical support to humans calling dogs and cats their "furbabies" its directionally an improvement compared to not thinking in that way at all, probably!

i would just barely hand it to the society/culture of the united states in that it is not yet at the point where hordes of fash thugs carry out pogroms outside the state at the scale happening in the UK

#it was in the past tbc #and this is somewhat complicated of course by like US cops and DHS being just deputized fash doing fash stuff...#and tbh this might just be a consequence of a greater urban/rural divide

Practical information to help you survive. While we often gain attention here at Trans Rescue for our work directly extracting trans people

This is a resource for helping trans people leave the US. I know going from the US to another country is going to be inherently different from claiming asylum in Canada from El Salvador over a decade ago like I did, but what I'm seeing so far sounds pragmatic and level-headed to me.

I am also more negative about a few of the countries on the list than the writers are.

A lot of trans people in the US really don't want to hear this but leaving the country might be necessary and you want to at least have a plan for how to do that even if you don't end up needing it. Don't just surrender in advance based on the assumption that you can only immigrate if you're super rich.

paradigm-adrift

I'm less concerned now than I was the first few months of 2025, but the situation is still pretty sketchy and this is an interesting resource.

I'm disabled according to hiring managers but not according to the government and I'm too old for most of the programs listed with an age requirement, so I'm not optimistic about myself.

But maybe someone else might find this useful.

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)

#yes i know all political quizzes are bad #but i love surveys #i gotta answer surveys and quizzes #im sorry

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

i'm not a dualist either and "qualia are emergent properties of physical systems" is a perfectly coherent idea to me but "qualia don't exist" is obviously bullshit? they are subjective experiences. you are experiencing them right now. if you have any sort of subjective experience then qualia exist. come on. i guess it's spooky that physical systems can have properties like irreducibility etc but obviously they do because unless you're a p-zombie you're experiencing them?

i mean sure if we use a rather broad definition of qualia then qualia uncontroversially exist but the debate here seems to center around a usage that entails stronger claims than just “subjective experiences occur.”

aksemmi

im not anon but i have an impression something along the lines of: the qualia questions are coming up because your posts - and the post about LLM consciousness you linked, seem at least to me to be suggesting that ~experience is somehow produced by ~detailed and persistent self modelling. other models suggest that some kind of experience exists even without this detailed and persistant self modelling. it seems natural to say the latter - in a discussion of consciousness - is leaning towards identifying that as a concept more with subjective experience in a basic sense that the concept of qualia often conveys. whereas the former identifies it more with like, something sort of adjacent to self awareness? but the "qualia" in the the expansive experiential take is not necessarilly asserting any one clear relationship to materialism/dualism/neutral monism/etc. or other special attributes that may often come with the concept, so i think if one is sympathetic to the latter model the response of qualia not existing comes off as fairly surprising and unclear in what it could mean (sorry if this is wildly off base?)

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

I think it's wild that matt smith is famous enough that he gets to be the one guy that the name matt smith refers to even though there's like a million guys with that name. his wikipedia article doesn't even have parentheses in the title the name matt smith just unambiguously refers to this one guy

mogwaipoet

Oh the developer of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy is moonlighting as an actor? That sounds like a fun hobby. I hope it makes him happy

aksemmi

its very funny to read this post and not have any clue who matt smith is beyond the context provided by this post

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)

hehehehehe * sudden moment of clarity that straightens my spine * what is this. who am I. * the clarity fades * hehehehehehe

am i crazy or is it weird how much people evaluating ai intelligence or whatever seem to conflate like, baked in knowledge recall with problem solving

i dont mean tbc, that i think LLMs are just repeating stuff or such, LLMs are indeed very clearly capable of reasoning and coming to novel conclusions etc. but its weird when i see people try and like, point to them being a "general intelligence" by saying they know ie quantum phsyics that only "smart" humans know… like, they know quantum physics but thats more like baked in memory than intelligence, they can then use that do further reasoning about quantum phsyics, and if that reasoning is what you wanna talk about then that is plenty fair, but baking the initial quantum physics knowledge itself into the evaluation seems like cheating, it sort of seems to me like we shouldn't be privileging the subject matter here that way

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
