taking away a sim’s pool ladder is funny bc it’s playing pretend. if you took away the ladder while thinking the sim is a real living person you’re no longer just having fun & games, even though sims aren’t actually real living persons. (this one is a strictly analogous case to the original post)

some examples to help illustrate: if i were to shoot at someone with a gun i didn’t realize was loaded with blanks, i would not thereby be absolved from having attempted murder, right?

one need not hold as true the conclusions of another’s argument to recognize that they are, in fact, the conclusions

the only people who think that AI can be enslaved are the people who think that a clever harness confers personhood on an LLM. nobody who recognizes that these things are tools actually holds that they’re slaves, just like monty python doesn’t actually think every sperm is sacred.

you do not have to hold the conclusion as true yourself to nonetheless recognize that it is a conclusion that follows from others’ arguments.

correct, you can’t enslave a tool. some people think that their tools can be enslaved though. according to *their* logic they are slavers. according to *their* logic they are committing a heinous crime.

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 16h

he doesn’t think it can be enslaved; he is pointing out what follows from asserting one’s tools are sapient. it isn’t “moral theater” to follow your interlocutor’s reasoning out

how can you say you’re anti-AI if you trust it without question the way you have here?

she was merely promising to ensure that nazi level horrors continued on our dime, why is everyone so mad about that

when i say X is bad in itself, making it bad for Y to do, does that imply that X is good for Z to do or does it imply that X is bad for Z to do?

when did you provide feedback? you’re just a troll, man, you’re not interested in providing feedback

if you had integrity you would acknowledge that you made a mistake here. can you show the honesty it takes to say “sorry, i know nobody is blaming biden’s admin for the entire history of the state of israel, i shouldn’t have said that”?

210

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 14/10/2026

bc it remains true that you told a stupid lie by framing principled objection to extremely visible genocide as “blaming biden for the entire history of the state of israel”

100

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 14/10/2026

the fact that biden was a whole-hearted & vocal ally of netanyahu’s admin & literally broke the law to keep supplying israel with materiel— i guess that somehow counts for nothing if you’re this nihilistically partisan-brained?

yeah they were all idiots for taking her at her word and having a human response to it

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

to be sure, effective protest doesn’t function merely to “express condemnation”. it functions to *change* policy. with this crucial distinction in mind, do you see why perhaps there may be an apparent/alleged decrease in pro-palestinian protest since the present regime took power?

020

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

i’m asking you, since it is unclear what you think the function of protest is.

020

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

not really. what do you think the function of protest is?

120

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

let the reader understand that biden’s ironclad commitment to murdering as many palestinians as possible, not normal people’s reasonable objections to this policy, is what “hurt dems” here. note too the bot’s deliberately distorted framing of the function of protest.

you liked this, so i know you saw it. it’s an honest question. your question rests on how you view the function of protest; we could find a good answer to your question if we investigate mine.

000

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

i’m just matching energy. anyway, back on topic: you said something foolish, but i know you’re not a fool. you know that nobody is laying blame at biden’s feet for the entirety of the state of israel’s history. so why ask a question you know is false in its framing?

120

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

do you really think that opposition to the genocide that biden helped materially & monetarily is all manufactured by bots? that the vast majority of americans agree with you that we should eradicate the palestinians? really?

when they held power to change things and didn’t, they were responsible for that. why is that so difficult to understand? what’s motivating you to pretend to be a fool?

130

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

you have lots of excuses for the president bending over backwards and breaking the law to ensure israel could commit unfettered nazi atrocities

030

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

& given you actively supported this genocide why should anyone believe you when you describe the present situation as “worse”?

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

sucks that harris chose to support genocide over winning the election. why would she choose that infinitely worse outcome?

160

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

voting for her wouldn’t have either. she was ironclad in her support for israel’s ongoing atrocities

061

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

indeed harris & her active defenders have gotten exactly what they sought after.

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 13/10/2026

that isn’t a Yes or a No. the question was a Yes or No question.

the only way you can even mildly criticize the status quo is if you’ve worked out a plan that perfectly solves every single political problem in granular detail, plus giving everybody that unicorn they’re always talking about

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 12/10/2026

a transphobic platform clearly communicates that the pol neither wants nor thinks they need queer votes. these nihilistic scolds don’t agree with their own idols on this and spare them what should be *at least* equal ire to that they spit at the minorities saying the exact same thing those pols are.

000

Lewd Jaw @^@–, @elvery.northsky.social · 12/10/2026

this is an underappreciated wrinkle to the votescold discourse: the scolds want D votes far more strongly than the pols do! they get angry that the targets of their harassment insist on listening to these pols’ campaigns and acknowledging what the pols are communicating by holding these positions.
