Forget "he's 20 he should be at the club", Occtis should be doing his History of Components assignment for class. My guy should be doing homework. Drinking the Araman equivalent of a coffee + red bull and studying last minute for Cantrips 2.0 test

i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights

its so funny when you ask somebody if their "work" is AI generated and they say "all of it has a human touch. none of our work doesnt have human guidance. human creativity was crucial throughout" and its like okay so yeah it is all AI slop then gotcha

oh in case it isnt super clear from these examples or i didnt convey what i was saying correctly, basically phrases like this are almost guaranteed to be attempts to dodge the question. if it didnt have any AI in it theyd just say no, yknow? people talking like this are trying to avoid confirming they used AI because they know there will be backlash against them for doing so, so they try to conceal it by talking in circles about the humans writing the AI prompts. like is it AI? haha humans were there the whole time. yeah but did they use AI? well humans were there. I KNOW. DID THEY USE AI? they used many tools, including human creativity!

I know "only Julien can fix Julien" but I think if he had a 6ft tall wife who could grow to 9ft tall and summon an ax at will it would encourage him to fix himself faster

Hey, if anyone’s curious, this IS making a serious impact — this handbook was taught as standard practice for my EMT license course, as well as several other programs. A lot of new providers are being taught this as a matter of course.
