My takeaway from the pandemic is that people were way more traumatized by the interruption to their lives than by all the death and I don’t think people want to think about that because, man, it’s really uncomfortable!
Recently I played Spiritfarer, a game about building a boat. It split me open like a meteor and grafted itself to my bones. This is my attempt to draw those feelings out. Thanks @thunderlotusgames.com 🫠
Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”
Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”
What? This refutes nothing of NPI's video. It doesn't go into manufacturing costs - which is what the NPI video is about. Even worse you trust this more than the NPI video, even though Jamey admits this is mostly guess work. I don't get it.
Reading 'for good girls' made me vomit in my mouth a little bit
Yeah the very last section is very hard to understand but also talks about redeeming counters, so I suppose that's a way to get money?

Buddy, if America EVER gets through this...
"The Trump administration admits to testing conversion therapy on trans prisoners and implies its policy of forcibly detransitioning trans men in prisons has the aim of preserving their fertility."

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.
Stop the War on Iran. 6 pm at White House - sponsored by multiple organizations

In the case of this fake AI generated Black resistance story, the author says it plainly:

Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman. The text in the Tweet says: SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”
The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.
It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.
This is where I learned about Altman's weird incompetence in a kitchen, I highly recommend giving it a read because it's very funny and also one of the most savage takedowns of a company as seen through its figurehead that I've read in Silicon Valley history www.ft.com/content/b180...
This is so fucking sick!!!

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
send sam altman to jail pls
Yeaaa I saw the psych article some years ago. I think it's related to why EMDR works. So can confirm, even though it's not my psych field heh
once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling
