Increasingly feel that a good three quarters of the way labellers end up getting used on this platform is bad

Not sure that it's a fixable problem either

everyone is just an expression of the same thing

Yeah, you're thinking about Warren Mears. First he builds yandere sexbots, then when that goes awry he tries to brainwash his ex into a sex slave. Then he kills a major character.

Then he gets his skin flayed off. It's very cathartic.

It's a shame, because I see definite utility in a lens that contextualizes rural infrastructure in terms of its relationship to urban centers

But from a quick glance, everyone in this literature is a destitute cattle farmer forced into Ulaanbaatar instead of a rural queer kid going to Portland

It's offensive because you can't possibly produce the proper jawline with a chibi style

Fall Guys was based on a true story

Well good thing they nerfed Fingerprint like 3 times so it's not broken anymore lol

Looks like he was very helpful with the dresser. Lots of moral support.

Oh good, this will surely reverse the broader decline in international visitors to America

They also think people are still reading their paper. I think that's lovely for them.

I already know who he actually is and I make this mistake like every time I see his name lol

Listen, don't attack my borderline pseudohistorical maximalist Sino-Roman theories, it's uncalled for

Alberta’s UCP government votes to restart process of overhauling provincial electoral map Premier Danielle Smith rejected the advice of an independent redistricting commission, triggering accusations of gerrymandering

I'm glad ya'll got your gerrymandering win today, cause we're getting the raw end of things over in Alberta.

I understand what's happening in Virginia is necessary, ugly as it is. Just hope we get back to a politics where this kind of stuff is verboten some day: here, in the States, everywhere.

Chat was trying to go after Mark Kelly's pension a good idea

200 bits and I'll TTS your responses

It's all just vibes to so many people, I hate it

I also hate respiratory viruses, ik this is becoming an increasingly contentious take but I still think the experience of an actual global international crisis fucked people up pretty good

It's so fucking weird. He stood out on a balcony and took his mask off to show everyone how strong he was! It was one of the iconic moments of his Presidency!

Websites used to be usable, man

Huh. I wasn't aware that was an entire career path. Makes sense, I suppose.

It's just...not a discussion worth having on Bluesky lol. He writes for the NYT. He espouses establishment politics. He used to be a close associate of MattyY.

There are people here who would string him up for any ONE of those things.

The thing is, this is basically the Zone of Death argument for an issue of serious political concern. Is there a theoretical argument for it? Possibly.

Is it even remotely tenable? Not a chance.

It never ceases to amaze how Knowing a lot of Things can make some people really, really stupid. Like, stupider than the average stupid person.

Or, maybe there's just something in the water at the Federalist Society. Idk.

It is. How would you feel if I told you that person is a central figure in the AI backlash?

It's nice to have a sphere of life where opting for a ridiculous cartoon character is the normal choice.

I don't think I've ever seen the phrases 'utmost respect' and 'cuck chair' in the same sentence before

Every day I look forward to sleeping I love sleeping I love being unconscious

I assume he took an average Hormuz transit pre-war of ~125, multiplied it by 2 milion each, then doubled it because he's a pathological exaggerator

One of these days I'm gonna have to toss out a discourse bomb and explain why I find him more sympathetic than most of the centrist commentariat

T&S people sometimes use a framing called 'inauthentic behavior' that categorizes much of this overlap as pretty much the same thing

It's contextually limited but I think it can be a useful way to think about it

Harding was bizarrely less racist than anyone mentioned. Also, he was deeply mourned when he died! The corruption largely didn't surface till later.
