with all respect: i'm losing touch with what AI does because i have no interest in it and it's not my business. nobody worries about me losing touch with developments in particle physics or artificial bull insemination. it's not my fault the richest guys on earth want me to make their toy my life

Person I have a parasocial relationship with online is blocking someone I have not, nor will ever meet and only became aware of roughly 2 seconds ago? In this essay I will...

I'm just not gonna be listening to anything the guy who thinks rape survivors have too many rights & privileges says.

It is my opinion that I think somebody like him has probably raped a lot of women and not even realized it, and the boiling pustule in his soul left over that he can feel but never identify needs lancing & this is the only recourse he thinks he has for relief.

I am not making a joke, but also I'm not a doctor. I have used super glue and duct tape on myself in a similar situation is all I'm saying.

Super Glue & Duct Tape bandage would be the Vietnam War solution.

I think of this piece by Luke O'Neil. It's obviously about something else, but more fundamentally, it's good when It happens to the right people in general.

Do the mice in the cocaine pellet torture traps ever go I gotta chill tonight bud? Did the others ever pressure one into having a little taste? Did they ever judge the mice whom they loved at the time for never chipping in on the bag and did they ever forgive themselves for that twenty years later?

Vast majority of us are so lucky we get attacked so rarely here that we remember the one time it happened so clearly.

I have been there before. I hope your stomach clears up soon. I hate to imagine back on all the stuff I haven't fully enjoyed. I'm glad you got that 30 minutes.

Chicago Area Man @anasskickingcontest.com · 04/09/2026

That's fair. I mainly exclusively deal in sports trading cards, & I'm a collector...so the stuff I'm listing I don't even really want to sell. 🤷 Everything I list is my, "I will sell it for this price but if you don't want it I would love to keep it" price.

They want people to believe disk encryption and end-to-end encryption messaging don't work. They simultaneously claim not having mandatory backdoors prevents doing their jobs. They never had a near equivalent to mind reading before but now somehow private thoughts and conversations are unacceptable.

The first time I read this post I was skimming and thought you meant that *you* were #12 on the list of 50 greatest influencers. My first reaction was, "Interesting choice, but well deserved!"

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)
