Why is the modern day so much 'explaining basic concepts to tech bros'? 🔸️Theory of mind 🔸️Object permanence 🔸️What mirrors are Never mind the stupid 'are LLMs conscious?' questions—are tech bros self-aware?

Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

Although I am onboard with electoral reform, the cover of the Open Britain leaflet does make it look like they are campaigning for the suffrage of smug be-suited white men. At long last, this marginalised community will have a say.
The cover of Open Britain's "NATIONAL COMMISSION ON ELECTORAL REFORM (IN A NUTSHELL)"

It shows a smug white man in a suit posting an X into a ballot box marked 'Fair Votes'

No. No, it can't. It is not made of anything that can feel pain. Does fine crockery feel pain? Can a garlic press? Can a matchbox full of dried peas? No. No, it can't. You've written "ouch" on a mirror, and are now aghast at its suffering. Grow the fuck up.

'Unequivocal' is a strange word to use when the interview is basically: "They are poisonous and bad. Now, obviously, they have the right ideas, they're just too scary about it. But it is good that that they have set, and will continue to set, the course of Britain politically..."

My subtle adjustment...
Imagine 200 Americans. In this crowd
24 are transgender
18 are also transgender
42 are NOT cisgender
35 are transgender but didn't hear you first time
45 are genderqueer
134 are nonbinary
20 thought they were answering a survey on toothpaste, but put on the spot they choose trans
23 claim to be femboys but the lure of pronouns is getting harder to resist
56 are transexual
DO YOU WANT TO BE 1 BIGOT FACING THOSE ODDS?
Didn't you hear? TRANSGENDER FOR EVERYONE!

Look, I know this image was made with good intentions and a gentle heart... BUT I can't help but to read this as 'Why are you worried about 1 transexual? The other 199 of you can murder her easily!' Which is more a problem with the current societal context, than with the diagram.

In case you're wondering whether there is any sign of a 'why' in that whole thread: not really. There are a couple of 'reasons' but they are not up to much: 🔸️'To avoid spillages' - valid, if you're interviewing 4 year olds, but weird for adults 🔸️'Not a kitchen' - the only place you can ever drink!

Honestly, this seems like the centre of fascism, to me. Not only in because the disparity in treating in-groups versus out-groups is exactly the point, but beyond that, the idea of intellectual consistenty is anathema to them. They will tell you obvious lies, or change opinions on a dime, or swap ~

21) Folio of Murderers by @jemma.bsky.social I like espionage thrillers. The sneakin' around, the shooty bang bang. Is good stuff. This one makes it better cause they're gettin' fascists and that's funny~ :3 Also the ending had me in stitches ngl XD I did not expect it at all.
The cover page for Folio of Murders by J. Ursula Topaz. The images shows a gun sitting atop a paper folder with a few photographs on it. 

While I can't claim to have deep knowledge on the espionage thriller genre, I do enjoy it when I see it. I grew up watching the James Bond films with my father and while over time I came to see the various issues with those films, they still maintain a place in my heart, particularly with the genre. And Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty is literally one of my favorite game experiences ever. 

So, Folio comes along and offers a working class version of the concept and its like, oooof its good. The characters are unabashed in their opinions, and its genuinely so delightful and refreshing. While I recognize the issues with killing IRL, it is still nice to enjoy it vicariously in fiction, where the issues of real life can be ignored some. 

Jackie, Olivia, Chelle and Allegra are such a fun little gang. I was honestly shocked they didn't end up as a polycule, ngl. But then again, its fine and not every lesbian needs one. But Jemme if you're reading this, I'd really like it if Chelle and Allegra tried to sleep with each other. I think it'd be very funny as long as Allegra isn't very classist about the whole thing.

I will also say that it was quite interesting to see this sort of story told with a "realistic" background, in that we're watching them talk about Thatcher and her whole schtick. I feel like the only other time I've seen this sort of thing is Inglorious Bastards. Its a fascinating concept and its executed with a wonderful level of detail here. The book goes out of its way to talk about the effects on the country and how much things are struggling. I have no idea where things will go from here with Jackie's story but I definitely will be looking forward to seeing it!!

I have started muttering 'oh, fuck off to Antarctica' every time a man annoys me, which is fairly bizarre even before I remember that I've taken it from a character's snail delirium-based ravings!
Text: If I had any thought, over the endless pleasure, it was this: that we, the adherents of the snail, should build a new empire, not out of conquest, but out of love. Love for both woman and mollusk, joined in ribbons of slime. With the men given Antarctica, perhaps.

It's a big tell that Bsky are discussing 'toxicity (in posting)' like it's an objectively measurable thing. Of course it isn't. You have to choose what you consider toxic. And cis white able-bodied American men, and their allies, are obviously going to have different views to other people.
