A Collection of Miscellanea

Oh, another thing that I personally discovered after bottom surgery: vaginal odor changes for trans women during our periods too. I was not expecting that because I always thought it was just from menstruation. But nope, the ph levels of a trans woman's vagina are the same of as a cis woman's vagina, and it changes during our periods just the same.

Can we start writing out the full titles of things again pls like some of the shows y'all talk about sound so interesting fr but then you start abbreviating and shit like "man I love hgtysbks" and "you gotta go watch abcdefgh" like girl.

Do you think Michael Crichton had a deep-seated hatred of theme parks because he was too tall for all the rides?

Damn, it sure is huh

"I have been brought before the scriptures and my heresies found canonical" is an all-time banger line.

Stephen King’s Fujo

in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with “it’s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.” This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We’d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn’t a real guy I can invite to a party.

Ok the last one got me laughing actually

Asdfghjkl her perfectly straight face and even tone throughout should win an AWARD

Sometimes I wonder if we’ve spent too much time as a society wondering if computers can be people

Yeah wondering where humanity begins and computers end is an interesting thought but people think that ChatGPT knows them. That thing is not a person by like any measurement we know of. It doesn’t have opinions. It regurgitates statistically likely word salad and scrapes answers wholesale from Reddit.

Questions about the potential personhood of machines feel kinda stupid now? Like these large language models clearly aren’t people. And to a certain extent, why would you want to make a computer that’s a person with feelings and personal opinions? You’ve made something and trapped it inside of a computer at the whims of programmers. Why? Why do that to something? Even if it was possible. It doesn’t fully seem like it is yet.

The guys who don’t think that computers can be people are usually the unenlightened ones in these stories but frankly I think that my cats are closer to being people than a chatbot is.

oh i'm going to misusle and straight up fuckle this knowledge so badly
