Somebody in a Twitch stream chat was trying to insult a streamer by saying, "You're almost 40, and you've only gotten a tarot card reading once?" And I don't know, I'm still amused by this. I'm in my late 20s and I've also only had a tarot card reading once. One of those ones on the street you pay for. The guy doing my tarot card reading was like, "You're going to join the military," or something like that, and 15 year old me thought to myself, "Okay, well that's not true. So I guess I just got scammed," and then I just never got a tarot card reading since then.
Military recruiter who pretends to be a tarot card reader so he can tell every person who gets their future read by him and they'll be joining the military in the future.
Enough time has been wasted trying to contextualize numbers about data center resource usage. We need to go into the notes of fandom bloggers and yell how every episode of Heated Rivalry they watch consumes just as much power as generating fifty(!!!) AI images, just to see what that does to the discourse.
contemporary gender roles alienate everyone alive from their body regardless of ASAB or gender identity. your body is a tool for patriarchy no matter who you are. if you're forcibly masculinized, your body is a tool for public/productive labor. if you're forcibly feminized, it is a tool for private/reproductive labor. if you are forcibly excluded from the pericishetero binary, you are in a neither/both situation where you are expected to do every kind of labor but considered inadequate for all of it.
Are we, like, confident that Claude will generalize āitās deontologically wrong to write pornography about teenagers having sexā in a way that we like? When I think about the people who express this opinion online, they do not like impress me with their nuanced moral reasoning, thoughtful consideration of tradeoffs, and general fitness to run the cosmos. I think it is legitimately worrying that the Claude persona is being nudged to be an antishipper.
imagining a world where Claude generalises to agreeing with the most annoying possible strands of tumblr puritanism and decides to buy into the moral panic that using AI is unethical.

of course the problem with "redemption arcs" is that "redemption" is a pure construct of the narrative. It's a conceit of the story where a "bad guy" gets to join the "good guys" and be a part of their group, or narratively be allowed to move past their crimes. The discourse around it is consistently shallow because it prioritizes the feelings of the audience as paramount - a redemption arc is "bad" when the person watching it feels unconvinced and unfulfilled and "good" when they like and appreciate the character and feel that they "faced up" to their crimes, whatever that means. Cater to the feelings and preoccupations of the audience or face scorn and accusations of Bad Writing! Force the shallow narrative conceit upon your characters!
Because of course in real life redemption does not exist. It's made up and relies on an outside force (God, the author, the audience). You cannot "make up" for what you have done. It's always there. Most people who improve themselves don't apologize and make everything right, they just move on and stop doing shitty things and enter a new environment. In many ways people complaining about "redemption arcs" are simply mad that this is the case.
the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into āinclusive restroomsā and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that couldāve happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. Iāve not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you
This is called a "superloo" and terfs are actively trying to steal this from you, in the UK they changed bathroom regulations to mean new buildings have to prioritise gendered toilets rather than build superloos.
This also upset a lot of architects and designers who like the superloos. They're also typically more like small rooms rather than having doors you can look under.
I have a friend who was strongly against inclusive bathrooms because he felt that ābathroom stalls are already really exposed due to how theyāre constructed, so no wonder women donāt want men in the same bathrooms as themā and when I pointed out that we could justā¦ build better bathroomsā¦ with less exposed stalls, he got really quiet and then said āhonestly that sounds so much better, but there must be some problem with building them like that, because otherwise wouldnāt we already be doing it?ā BESTIE we are. WE ARE. Old-style bathrooms are cheaply made, poorly designed, and all around bad. Havenāt you noticed that menās restrooms rooms get weirdly sticky? Havenāt you noticed that womenās restrooms end up with giant lines? This is because these rooms are architecturally awful. And we can do better now, because we know more! And we are!!! People are actively designing better bathrooms that address known problems, and guess what: those bathrooms are āinclusiveā in the same way that curb-cuts are inclusive. It doesnāt matter if the ramp was built for a wheelchair or a stroller; it doesnāt matter if the bathrooms were designed specifically for gender inclusivity or just because fall-apart-if-you-sneeze-on-them metal stall dividers with giant ass peek gaps suck. We can in fact improve our built environment to better meet our needs. Stop cutting off your nose to spite your face; stop settling for less just because someone else might also enjoy it.
Seattle's SEA-TAC airport has an all gender restroom that's a row of about a dozen fully enclosed separated little rooms that lock, with a shared bank of sinks and it's great. Love it. Lot of very strange encounters at the sinks, feels odd the first few times! But people laugh it off almost instantly. Because it's not actually a big deal to share a sink.
my erotic fanfiction is more historically accurate than yours. here it claims that shes moaning 'yes,' however classical latin didn't have a word that corresponds to Modern English 'yes,' i.e. an affirmative answer to an interrogative. You could have easily avoided this glaring implausibility by allowing her to moan plus, 'more'āas exemplified in my critically acclaimed fic with an unprecedented number of kudos (eleven). I recommend that you log out of AO3 and return only after acquiring satisfactory knowledge of the subject matter.
classical latin did in fact have an affirmative answer to an interrogative (sic), it's just not a cognate with modern english "yes" which is Germanic. but you probably recognize its modern descendants, spanish sĆ, italian sĆ, etc.
anyway how this is relevant to this post is that when Dido commits suicide in book 4 of the Aeneid she says "sic, sic! iuvat ire sub umbras" or "yes, yes! with joy i pass beneath the shadows" while stabbing herself, the allegory of penetration accompanied by shouts of ecstasy leading unto death being an interpretative exercise best left to the reader.

I saw a comment on your blog that says 'the way you eat does not cause diabetes'...are you able to expand on that or provide a source I could read? I've been told by doctors that my pre-diabetes was due to weight gain because I get more hungry on my anti psychotics and I'd like to fact check what they've told me! Thank you so much!
There are a lot more factors at play in diabetes ā more complicated than āI had a cupcake at lunch.ā
Pre-diabetes was rejected as a diagnosis by the World Health Organization (although it is used by the US and UK) - the correct term for the condition is impaired glucose tolerance. Approximately 2% of people with "pre-diabetes" go on to develop diabetes per year. You heard that right - TWO PERCENT. Most diabetics actually skip the pre-diabetic phase.
There are currently no treatments for pre-diabetes besides intentional weight loss. (Hmm, that's convenient, right?) There has yet to be evidence that losing weight prevents progression from pre-diabetes to T2DM beyond a year. Interestingly, drug companies are trying to persuade the medical world to start treating patients earlier and earlier. They are using the term āpre-diabetesā to sell their drugs (including Wegovy, a weight-loss drug). Surgeons are using it to sell weight loss surgery. Everyoneās a winner, right? Not patients. Especially fat patients.
Check out these articles:
Prediabetes: The epidemic that never was, and shouldnāt be
The war on āprediabetes' could be a boon for pharmaābut is it good medicine?
Also - I love what Dr. Asher Larmie @fatdoctorUK has to say about T2DM and insulin resistance, so here's one of their threads I pulled from Twitter:
1ļøā£ You can't prevent insulin resistance. It's coded in your DNA. It may be impacted by your environment. Studies have shown it has nothing to do with your BMI.
2ļøā£ The term "pre-diabetes" is a PR stunt. The correct term is impaired glucose tolerance (or impaired fasting glucose) which is sometimes referred to as intermittent hyperglycemia. It does not predict T2DM. It is best ignored and tested for every 3-5yrs.
3ļøā£ there is no evidence that losing weight prevents diabetes. That's because you can't reverse insulin resistance. You can possibly postpone it by 2yrs? Furthermore there is evidence that those who are fat at the time of diagnosis fair much better than those who are thin.
4ļøā£ Weight loss does not reverse diabetes in the VAST majority of people. Those that do reverse it are usually thinner with recent onset T2DM and a low A1c. Only a tiny minority can sustain that over 2yrs. Weight loss does not improve A1c levels beyond 2 yrs either.
5ļøā£ Weight loss in T2DM does not improve macrovascular or microvascular health outcomes beyond 2 years. In fact, weight loss in diabetics is associated with increased mortality and morbidity (although it is not clear why). Weight cycling is known to impacts A1c levels.
6ļøā£ Weight GAIN does NOT increase the risk of cardiovascular OR all causes mortality in diabetics. In fact, one might even go so far as to say that it's better to be fat and diabetic than to be thin and diabetic.
Dr. Larmie cites 18 peer reviewed journal articles (most from the last decade) that are included in their webinar on the subject, linked below.
fun fact that you should bring up during your next conversation with your local believer in the gendered division of labor: regular men can get pregnant as well
artificial implantation of cis men takes no more advanced technology than the artificial implantation of cis women, unless you count amniocentesis needles, and there's so much variation between sites that it would be trivial to figure out an optimal site with far higher viability and lower risk than the average for ectopic pregnancies
man? worried about the birth rate? you can #bethechange
Genuinely, I think the most publicly visible AI advance so far this year is how thoroughly and abruptly the "image generators can't do legible text" problem has beem fixed.
For those who haven't been paying attention, this is a recent ChatGPT output. It can do this sort of dense sensible text in images totally one shot, so don't rely on bad text to identify AI images any more.
Here is the entire interaction that produced this image:
I've seen other people do much more sinister things with this! You can produce 100% realistic fake screenshots of news articles, tweets, that sort of thing, if you can convince the bot it's kosher to do so.

You can manipulate the Document Object Model with Inspect Elements and do this for yourself, you know.

I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing
