Well, not that it's impossible for Slop to end up on a disc, but a lot less likely.

Having a physical piece of plastic with my music on it, and no one can remotely take it away based on some company's whims, feels so good. Plus, I am much more assured my music isn't AI slop if I am buying CDs.

I've been building my library the last couple years, I have about 200 CDs so far and a few dozen records. I have no regrets, and I'm going to be going hard on collecting soon once things in my life settle down...

I'd be using my wealth to build a robust network of mutual aid organizations, then collapsing the entire financial system so that money becomes worthless (starting with crypto, by buying up a bunch of the stuff to inflate the price, then dump it all so the exchanges lose all liquidity)

They're both imperial powers fighting the same opposing imperial powers, so of course they're going to work together. But of course Cenk won't pass up an opportunity to do some antisemetic conspiracism...

Iran and Russia have been allies long before the state of Israel existed. Especially because they both hate western nations for the interference and manipulation of their internal politics. Like with Operation Ajax and Operation Bloodstone.

I used to practice by having conversations with the old Jewish guys playing chess in the park. Maybe there is a park like that near you?

Nah, I think abolishing money is worth skipping to. Money is by far the worst thing humans invented and caused so, so much death, injury, oppression, and the many of the worst things humans can do to one another.

All the videos are out-of-focus and jittery, and none of the photos are particularly detailed, obviously to hide how poor the construction is. From what I can see, they aren't even bothering to do any smoothing on the print with burrs hanging off everywhere...

I've heard the security on a lot of hobbyist drones is utter crap, sure would suck if one got hacked and fell into a transformer...

Enough estradiol and your body will start producing more aromatase and convert your T into E for you, leaving only small doses of DHT, which you want some T anyway (ideally you want about 25 to match the lower end of cis women's levels)

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 11/10/2026

Its why I am a huge proponent of monotherapy. For a lot of people you don't even need an antiandrogen. My E is in the 150s and my T is usually between 5-15 by just taking 0.15ml (of 20mg/100ml) estradiol weekly.

Don't even need a firearm, a cluster of mylar balloons landing on the transformers will cause a lot of destruction.

Spending such a short time around them and watching them humanize code and dehumanize the entire rest of humanity, really showed me why fascism is spreading so hard in the tech industry...

Like, they value the lives of existing real people far less than these theoretical future people whose lives would be "improved" by their horrific actions. I mean, that was the whole point of Yudkowski's "Better to torture a person that a billion people getting a mote of dust in their eye" paper.

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 11/10/2026

I spent some time on the "LessWrong" forums a few years ago because I was curious about those weirdos, and, yeah, it isn't an exaggeration. I also so many conversations where someone would try to justify genocide/eugenics in the name "future humans"

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 11/10/2026

Or more likely they need to believe that to avoid the existential crisis from realizing how much they fucked up by going into tech instead of doing something they'd actually enjoy.

010 1

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 11/10/2026

Yeah, they're completely incapable of recognizing that other people are different. They go through life assuming that everyone else hates the process of creation, because they hate all the creating that they do.

I have been seeing some pretty extreme diminishing returns in gaming performance the last few generations. I tend to wait 4-5 years between machines, but this time might be even longer, barring my system completely dying. Or just abandon desktop gaming entirely

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 11/10/2026

My new machine is a 9950X with a 7900 XT card and 128 GB RAM compared to my old machine with an i7-8700K and a RX Vega 56 with 32 GB RAM. Far from the jump of the build I had before which was a i7-4770k and an HD 8870...

110 1

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 11/10/2026

I upgraded my machine a few years ago and it doesn't feel all that different from my old machine when it comes to gaming. Aside from some minor graphics improvements that I don't even notice while playing and only seeing it in recordings.

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 11/10/2026

Its alright, pretty good tool for learning security and beginners in the field. I use it when I am doing like capture-the-flag competitions at work and I don't have the time to build out my own machine for it, so I slap it on a VM running on my old laptop and call it a day.

Lol, no Kali Linux... But I wish I had the power of Kali, control over death is pretty tempting whenever these AI Dorks start pushing their bullshit...

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 11/10/2026

Yup, like I've been dragged in front of HR for merely having a disk image of Kali on one of my drives, and now they're pushing me as hard as they can to use the slop-box at work...

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 10/10/2026

Yup, its just a bunch of marketing bullshit to cover up that their product is just stealing and then running random code. But they want people to believe that all that money is actually going to something that works so they are willing to give more money and let it continue to operate.

Ruling Class Solidarity. Every Democrat has far more in common with Republicans than they do with their constituents. They are coworkers, and their constituents are just an abstract concept to them. We're just numbers to them, but republicans are real people to them.

I spent some time on the "LessWrong" forums and at first I thought it was a bit, but it was clear after a while that was his genuine self. He is clearly getting high off his own supply, and the fact that a bunch of evil idiots in power have also bought in has comvinced him further.

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 09/10/2026

Oh, he is absolutely that way. He believes that he alone can see the danger and the rest of us are too dumb to see it and we'll just go along with the whims of the AI. He will readily admit he imagines himself like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but with AI instead of Vampires.

My distruct still went 75% Dem and Kamala still lost, so you know, not great, but surely bullying people on the internet will convince them to support your shitty candidates...

Ah, the classic "push them left after the election" strategy that has never once worked on anyone. But surely Lucy won't snatch away the football *this* time like the hundreds of times she has before...

I still have vivid memories of Dems in 2009-2010 saying they supported gay rights, but when a Republican insinuated they were gay, they would immediately flip to "Actually, I hate those faggots and want them to die, even more than you!"

0191 19

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 08/10/2026

And the Dems wonder why I don't trust them, and this is far, far from the first time I've watched them gleefully throw marginalized groups under the bus because they were insulted.

Yeah, she clearly doesn't use AI to draw, since AI can't reuse the same exact face for every white girl character like she does. But, also saying those tools are equivalent to AI is just so absurd and disingenuous...

Oh, I guess it doesn't. I suppose I am not as up on my internet political brainrot as I thought. Now I am just as confused... The Libs have been delving more and more into weird Blue-Anon type shit complete with its own vocabulary that is so hard to keep up with

"Dear Leader" is Trump. Its a term first used to refer to Kim Jong-Il, and dems started to use it for him because Anericans can't resist doing the meme and comparing very-American fascism to Asians. I have no idea who June is, though...

But, also, Maher is at his worst on Tumblr, constantly going on long rants about "wokeness" and repeating fashy talking points...

Not that she ever had morals to begin with. She regularly steals music from artists of color, then sues them claiming they stole her work, using the fact that she was able to professionally record the song first as proof she did. She is also part of the "LessWrong" / "Effective Altruism" crowd...

130 3

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 08/10/2026

Yeah, it took me so long to read that shit because of how awful it is to read. At first I was thinking she was going for some weird "1337-5p34|<" bullshit

The obvious reason is that they support the maintenance and/or expansion of the Western Empire, but want to pretend its some moral stand because the people that benefit from Imperialism have told them its for moral reasons.

There are also other methods that work on me, but I don't want to be giving away all my secrets

Shin Megami TENS Unit @bratty-wife-happy.life · 04/10/2026

What usually works on me is when someone approaches me all shy and stammering and doing that whole "...I guess if you want to..." thing. It takes all my self control to just put my hand right on their neck and push them up against a wall and shove my tongue down their throat...

Some good did come of it, it pushed me to understand intersectional feminism at a much deeper level, and showed me the way to anarchism...
