a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

if it sucks you can just hit the bricks, but im pretty sure watching football with the gang could easily be fun if you have a good attitude. like if you don't know and care just do whatever silly thing for lols. like, you're using AI to not work...but also to try to win? if you care then just care!

its hard to be optimistic about the future when the present is at its most backwards. but fascism is the death rattle of this world order, its decay in excess. not an aberration, but its contradictions sharpened to their finest points. they invoke fascism out of weakness, not strength.

but compared to the portfolios and projects i could have, being the legislative planner for the department that does not want to make legislation is about as good as it gets. lol. lmao.

000

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

one of the worst things about being a legislative planner is that people often want to make a law that says "the government cares about this thing" instead of actually doing something about that thing, which is both a bad law and obviously doesn't solve the problem

nah it's p different. JR uses & will use her money to do active harm to people. her wealth is from HP. much of that wealth is speculative value from owning the idea (the IP) behind HP, bc ppl think it'll be a money-making thing in the future. participating in HP stuff consolidates this speculation.

i set the game units based on the size of the boat models so it is not easier one way or the other but honestly mb the friction of the boat going slow is good, gives it a feeling of weight

000

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

a challenge in making a simulation is that i set the in-game speed of a boat to something that feels nice to control, but i have a game-distance to "real world" units conversion that makes this too fast, so i have to decide if i fix the speed, or the units.

the extra tedious part of hooking the menu up is that some things are derivations an analog computer would make, and it's easy enough to solve i.e., range rate, but i have to solve what the analog computer would say the range rate is based on your (incorrect) inputs.

these are incredibly unambitious. why do we have a fully deregulated energy market? nobody wants that except the for-profit energy industry vampires. why do we not have public auto insurance like saskatchewan? even the insurance companies are losing money on car insurance, nobody is winning here.

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

capitalism in extreme decay needs 1. social democracy (liberals, labour, democrats) to disorganize and destabilize revolutionary momentum, and 2. fascism to defeat the disorganized people's movement. that's why social democrats are fascism's opposition (at least nominally), but not its opponents.

??? i was there. his leadership campaign ran on eliminating the carbon tax and his election campaign ran on tax cuts paid for by austerity cuts to public services and privatization. he ran a conservative platform to get conservative voters to vote for him and now he's governing like a conservative.

when you change the cartridge on your bathtub faucets you have to decide if they both open when you turn them to the left or if they open when you rotate them "out" (the right cartridge goes in upside down so it opens when u turn it right) and no matter what you think is intuitive, you are wrong.

the lore afaik is that, in the song Across the Sea (where rivers from weezer returns a japanese fan's love letter), despite him saying "you are... 18 year old girl" in the lyrics, in the demo, he said a different number than 18 (not a better one!) but i cant find a source. chat - this true?

bud, you can talk yourself in circles, but clear eyes can immediately see this is malicious violence that did not need to happen. not sure why your eyes cannot, but that isn't a good or correct way to be, strikes me as pitiful.

jobs that drive full-time like taxi drivers or truckers have a higher on the job fatality rates, which implies that cops are actually more safe when they are getting out of their cars to respond to a call, not less.

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

cars are the number one killer of cops. being a cop is mostly a dangerous job because you drive a car around most of the day, and motor vehicle operator is one of the most dangerous jobs in our society outside mining, fishing, and logging.

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

ok the secret speyside arm day is 4 sets biceps (usually db hammer curls), 4 sets triceps (tate press), 4 sets forearms, then 4 x superset biceps and triceps (db bicep curls / overhead tricep extension) that last superset is brutal, u can really feel it working

this is a new one, the artist pick is like, a sponsored merch collab? lol idk who's buying a 300 euro effect pedal off spotify but if you're on there looking at sun, ur some kinda sicko so, not a bad strategy

spotify page for Sunn O)))) (pronounced "sun") showing as the "artist pick" an effect pedal with the text EARTHQUAKER DEVICES & SUNN O))) "Half-Life Pedal"
Sunn o))) is a drone/doom band known for an extremely loud, slow, and heavy sound. It's a niche subgenre for weirdos like me.

in resident evil 1 and 2 you play as a cop doing cop activities - in RE2 you go to the police station thinking it's safe, this is inverted (the horror trope of fake saviors/villains) mb there's an ACAB resident evil tho, like, the cops ARE there and they 28 Days Later you is an obvious step further.

it used to be easy to search for a term appearing in a jurisdiction's laws by searching "site:[url of their official publication] + "keyword". that doesn't work for most places anymore.

001

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

if you try to use google's "site:[url]" function to find a specific term on a specific website, web scraping blockers meant to protect the server and its performance will null the search out and return no results. but most sites don't have their own internal keyword search so you just can't do that.

this is just post-modern capitalism - it doens't believe we can have a shared definition of progress and our institutions can work towards it. like this tech is in no way emancipatory under its own account of itself, unless emancipatory means something entirely different to you.

it is funny how quickly employers decided to forego the benefits of remote working (which are demonstrable on both employee and employer side, but require a degree of organizational buy-in) but how all-in they are on AI (which requires alot of the org for speculative benefits and none for the EE

(or she is not a sexual being, that's the other kind of woman we meet in reacher). so its very funny to try to figure out who this is there for

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

its funny that every season of reacher has him save sex once, like - why? 1. the scene establishes sex will happen offscreen. it isnt showing sex to titilate you like ie bridgerton. 2. it doesnt matter to plot or character. reacher doesnt need a reason to care, we already know every woman wants him

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

rather than having it benefit anybody? and this project is already one that guides our ruling class, and fascism and its methods are tools for them to deploy towards that ends at their convenience. it is increasingly easy to be skeptical of progress but i think we need to resist that!

000

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

like, in the face of the nazi eugenic horrors we have no choice but to say science isn't a social force towards emancipation, it does what the hand holding it wills (so too for all our institutions) but really isnt this the completion of the fascist project of destroying excess productive capacity..

jack speyside @jackspeyside.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

it's a recent thing, like, the last 50 years, growing exponentially, that tech has been deployed entirely for profit with no capacity to reduce drudgery (that is, to empower our labour). increasingly i think the postmodern skepticism in "progress" is more an invention of that a response to fascism

i mean, it's absolutely the same struggle - they just think sports is an easy, popular win to set the stage for the next thing. they don't actually care or think it makes a difference. and it's 100% transphobia! there's no basis below elite level, nor any basis to interfere with elite rules experts.
