many people clearly believe that for the benefit of the community, women must simply absorb male violence. that it's their role in the community. that men are the community, and his violence needs to go somewhere acceptable. and the acceptable place is at her.

anyone else notice how when "digital assistants" were just supposed to do specific tasks when you asked for them we had Alexa and Siri and Cortana, but now that they're being marketed as smart enough to take actions and make decisions on their own they've got names like Claude and Devin

if the satanic panic was happening now a lot of you guys would be like “DNI if you don’t believe survivors of satanic ritual abuse at daycare”

have already been accused of being a fascist for making this post

I dare you to explain what "satanic panic" is supposed to symbolize here. Did you refrain from saying "red scare" or especially "war of drugs" cause you knew if you said that people would stop for a minute and consider before rebloging this nonsense post mindlessly? Or is this about survivor of violence or rape? Or just what tf is this about?

have you considered googling “satanic panic.” sometimes if you look up words you don’t know you can find out what they mean

war of drugs

Hey, OP, I genuinely do want to know what you're using the satanic panic as a metaphor for. Specifically because I do think that it's vague enough that it can refer to anything from people who say "DNI proship" or "DNI antiship" to "DNI trans rights activists" (a transphobic dog whistle) or "DNI Transphobes"

it’s not a fucking metaphor

Yeah, seeing this again, there are certainly people who seem to think "Satanic panic" is a couple of words OP threw together, but the post does lend itself to the reading "just as people fell for the Satanic Panic then, now they're falling for ___"

it's not a loaded statement, you're just the most annoying people alive. incidentally, suggesting that someone looks up words they don't understand is not 'ableist as hell.' hope this helps

I want @meangirlnurse to write a one-sentence post referencing the September 15, 2008 filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy by Lehman Brothers, including the name, the date, and the event, just to see what this website will say the post was actually about.

i'm very sneaky. it could mean anything

"You'll be left behind if you don't get onboard with AI!" okay let's assume for a second that AI is The Future or whatever. Let's assume that it will be the cornerstone of all future work. Let's assume that, like the investment guys floating on the surface of the bubble are desperate to have us believe, It Is Inevitable. Frankly I still don't think I'd lose much by ignoring it until that day comes. Like I simply do not believe that prompt engineering could take all that long to learn. Call me naive but I think that if AI became critical for my life tomorrow, somebody telling me how to access chatGPT (I imagine they've got a website or an app or something?) and being like "Remember how you used to use google when it still actually worked? Start there" would be enough. I think I could figure it out in like an hour, tops, by fucking around with the site and maybe looking up some tips on reddit. So like. Even if "AI is the future" did somehow magically turn out to be true, I don't see how that affects me at all right now or why anybody bothers saying so. "AI is the future, if you were smart you'd be using it!" no I wouldn't. It still wouldn't be a skill that's worth my time to learn yet. Pointless addition to the discussion. Maybe I'm dunning-krugered or something but I simply do not think that it would be difficult enough that I would need to start practicing right now or I'm missing out on something.

Whenever they gave us one of those "read through ALL the instructions before you begin!" trick assignments in school where the steps lead you on an increasingly ridiculous goose chase until the final one tells you to just put your name on the paper and turn it in without doing anything else, I was always like, "Okay, but what's the point? Surely the REAL world won't be anything like this." And then I grew up and discovered that not only is the real world often exactly like that, some people won't even read the first line of the instructions even if they make perfect sense. And these people are called "co-workers"

bear with me. but also twink with me and otter with me. happy pride month on planet earth baby

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

EVERY YEAR

surely treating suicide as the most horrible forbidden thing possible and making it difficult to discuss candidly not only through social stigma but also the threat of kidnapping and forced drugging will prevent people from doing something that makes me personally uncomfortable
