abstinence is not immortality

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

i think svetlana picks fights w ilya in the middle of clubs esp when they're both coked tf up abt how she's not his bitch and don't tell me what to fucking do you fucking manwhore and then they're standing in the middle of the street yelling & she's talking about what a fucking idiot he is for always fucking any girl that breathes in front of him & then they fuck abt it later bc they don't know how to communicate at all

i think ilya didn't do something sasha wanted as a kid (just like not enough attention or wouldn't go out with him the night before a morning practice idk) and he framed ilya for something else to his dad and ilya got took a chair thrown at his head in the locker room by the coach as part of a humiliation ritual and to teach the other boys a lesson

i think ilya gets mad when sveta starts pointing out that maybe he's not feeling so well or doing so well and do you remember how your mother- and he tells her to shut her fucking mouth what the fuck do you know you don't fucking know anything you don't know me at all you just want me to be a little project for you to fix and feel good about, have some claim over the great ilya fucking rozanov, and then slaps him across the face and they don't talk for a month.

i think sasha gets in trouble with his dealer and ilya has to blackmail the dude to save him. i think sveta takes the fall for hanging out with ilya in her bedroom after dark to keep her dad from realizing ilya was sleeping with another man. i think they all do ecstacy in a night club and wake up on top of each other on a sidewalk outside a penthouse none of them know & ilyas wallet is gone & sasha is wearing pants that don't belong to him & sveta's mouth is bleeding & they're all just like fuck that was so fucked what the fuck, silent cab ride home...and then later that night sashas other boy toy is throwing a rager so LET'S DO IT AGAIN!1!!1!!

anyway.

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
