big life tips dont be neurodivergent dont be poor dont get in any sort of situation and dont let yourself need or crave

not getting good reports back on your progress with this guys

Shocking development: in a language and culture where most given names are considered masculine or feminine, some genderqueer and nonbinary people choose given names that seem unusual!

americans are like i was gifted child but also i didnt learn other countries existed until i was 35 years old

making this post ruined my life

Some of the edgiest queers in the world who constantly talk about romanticizing cannibalism and gore is punk or whatever will turn into the literal pope when confronted with anything realistic having to do with sex like im sorry but people fuck in the park at night sometimes always have and always will and you’re going to have to go about your life without advocating for them to be skinned alive in Alcatraz

I will never forgive the fact that this post is what made me learn the term “reichblr” and the fact that even exists because someone who writes nazi fanfic replied being scandalized by the idea of public sex

you literally have shitty hide armor and a dull ass shortsword. let me guess. your loot is 6 gold coins too? 🙄

friendly fucking reminder do NOT post about your lootdrops publicly!!! this post is a great example of "table baiting" to get you to reveal what valuables you drop on death WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY PUTTING YOU AT RISK OF FARMING!!! think for a second and be safe out there!!

the thing is like. if you see someone complaining about “tmes”. like as in everyone who is described by the term tme (transmisogyny exempt). and the place your mind immediately jumps to is “this person is criticizing an entire demographic of queer people!!” then well. idk. that says to me that, at best, you still just don’t get what tme/tma exist to refer to. that you haven’t been listening to transfeminists when they talk about this. tme is just simply not a descriptor of any one particular queer identity. tme is not a descriptor of any queer identity at all. I can’t emphasize this enough. in fact, the vast majority of people who could accurately be described as tme aren’t even queer. it’s just like really telling to me when people try to turn discussion of transmisogyny into a matter of “queer infighting”. i get that that’s, like, the easiest route to take to try to make transfeminists look divisive and unreasonable. but that, you know, sucks. and it’s wildly intellectually dishonest. these are terms that exist to describe axes of power and oppression.

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.

losing the battle with my own self-control so will briefly comment and say that categorizing certain types of ai as straightforwardly good and other types as "bad evil," even for the sake of summary, doesn't really hold water. just to give two counterexamples to the distinctions drawn above, large language models ("evil") are being used by human rights groups to parse huge datasets about police abuse while analytical ai ("helpful") is also the kind of ai that animates facial recognition software and the increasingly ubiquitous searchable license plate databases that police are using to stalk people. the goodness or badness of a given ai tool has less to do with its type and more to do with things like scale and scope, transparency, ownership, and contextual application.

notice as well a refusal to mention any kind of "bad" ai other than the kind that "steals shit". putting aside even what was said here about ai ethics being much more about context than the actual literal computing a particular ai does, the "bad ai" isnt the facial recognition software currently helping drive an attempted genocide in the US, it's the ai that doesn't respect copyright law. it's kind of hilariously grim how much bourgeoisie class interests have suddenly become the uniting "progressive" opinion.

Omg this looks like some sort of Fairytale Horror; like, a town with trees that have missing pets or people etched into them- coming off naturally enough to be dismissed as bark/tree discolouration

The framing of this image is just perfect subtle horror. 

Chill it’s a pole

you missed the tree entirely didnt you buddy

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK
