Ru's antics

I get it, punishment can feel cathartic. I’ve certainly spent time imagining all the ways in which my own abuser might be punished. But ultimately, him dying, or being jailed, or publicly shamed, isn’t actually going to help me nor will it stop more kids from getting hurt in the future.

AI LLMs are NOT fucking CONSCIOUS or SENTIENT, y'all. They don't *know* or *understand* ANYTHING. They can't even tell you anything NEW!!! ChatGPT and its ilk simply spit out likely combinations of text based on what's been scraped from existing data. It does not have unique thoughts or a personality. It either regurgitates existing things or hallucinates garbage.

Here I thought people having AI girlfriends/boyfriends and students using it to outsource thinking for them was the pinnacle of fucked up, but I was wrong.

Not only are we outsourcing human livelihoods, creativity, the development of critical thinking skills, and human romance to this Mindless Shit Machine, we're now hanging our faith on it like some kind of religious oracle??? And we're burning up the only fucking planet we can live on at FRIGHTENING speed to do it.

The depths of human stupidity continue to horrify me.

support drag kings just as much you support drag queens. Or at least more than Chappell Roan.

>research shows testosterone HRT is not a contraceptive so you still need to use protection!

>ok. do you know if it has literally any effect on fertility whatsoever?

>lol no

>ok. so hypothetically how would a trans man on HRT know if he's pregnant?

>well silly girl :) you just check your period :) if you missed your period you might be pregnant! duh!

>ok. testosterone HRT stops your period after, like, 3 months though

>[windows error sounds] well then you can usually feel your breasts get heavier and more tender :)

>ok. what about people who don't have mammary glands anymore? how would that even work?

>listen i don't know. why don't you have a pregnancy test?

>those tests work by detecting a specific hormone. does HRT interfere with this hormone by either making it undetectable or stopping its production entirely or anything? how do i know the test itself is reliable?

>have you tried the morning after pill?

>the morning after pill is also hormone-based. how do i know it's reliable? does taking testosterone HRT have any impact on its efficiency? could it potentially cause an adverse reaction? could a trans man with updated ID documents even access it in the first place since the pharmacy only delivers it to people they think, at a glance, could be pregnant?
