if you're having trouble sleeping the best you can do is put a bright object close to your face and look at it for at least 30 minutes. if that doesn't work you can close your eyes but make sure to think really hard about a bunch of bullshit

does that character “radiate heterosexuality” or do you just not like them. do they really not read as queer to you or do you just not like them. are you sure they’re straight. or do you just not like them.

i do think saying that a character a lot of people read as queer is straight and can only be straight just because you, personally, don’t like the character is homophobic. i do think that if you butt into a conversation and start equating them being uninteresting or boring or evil or ugly to you with them not being allowed to be queer is homophobic. that’s really fucking weird. stop doing that.

why do you think queerness needs to be earned. why do you equate queerness with morality or attractiveness or your personal investment in this character. even if you think the correlation is positive, you’re still saying that if someone doesn’t meet this standard you’ve set, then it’s okay for you not to see them as queer. i do not trust you if you assume people you don’t like are straight or cis. why are you assigning value judgements on people’s identities.

Madly compelling, super sweet. A story far deeper than the panels available. Genuinely lovely.

I'm not even nearly as anti-LLM as most other leftists but part of approaching new technology is "hey let's think real critically about the application and scope of this so we can use it in ways that are worth it and don't cause mass scale societal damage" but the fact that it's being injected into fucking EVERYTHING makes any stance more cautious than "USE LLMS FOR EVERYTHING NOW AND FOREVER" so much more anti than the status quo that I don't even fucking want to add nuance

Like most of the problems people have with LLMs are the natural conclusion of decades of tech companies gaining monopolies, environmental regulations struggling to keep up with new technologies, and a growing semi-privatized surveillance state, as opposed to issues with LLMs themselves. There's a theoretical reality where LLMs are implemented in useful, responsible, and sustainable ways but that reality is so far removed from our current one that none of those points actually matters
