Did we cancel D-Day because of a little rough weather? No. Play the damn game.

D-Day was delayed by a day because of the weather

ok new test: if you think rape is bad and should never be tolerated, like and repost this. if you think rape is a “complex issue,” just type “not all sexual assault is rape” in the comments.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

Another example of someone whose work I liked at times and sometimes inspired by but was fine with him being consigned to the dustbin (and a funny note on "rehabilitation" - when people say this experience will make them right wing, it's worth asking will right wingers even want them - usually no!)

I was always nagged at how he never really went the step further that my studies demanded of me - not saying this to be like "always had a feeling" - just that id rather someone with something more to say took his place and there's plenty of critics who can

Man, I hate this guy's mom
How weird does it look to go to Primetime alone?

Introvert with social anxiety here. Want to go see Primetime this weekend but my mother is convinced that "that's like a weird vibe" and I should just wait for streaming. None of my family or friends want to see it with me, and I live alone, and I've been waiting on this movie since I saw the first trailer. 

Her main response was "ok, well you're an almost 30 year old single white dude going to see a movie about catching pedophiles by yourself. The optics aren't great"

Like I'm an introvert with social anxiety but I have never once minded going to see a movie by myself. I used to work weekends and one of the best part of that was going to see a random movie and 9:30 am on a wednesday when literally no one else was in the theater.

I don't think this is true when there's been Oney allegations or like the multitudes of abusive criminal right wing personalities like the Tate brothers. Plus I don't think he ever really was this super loud feminist - he never went deeper than a surface level feminist reading on stuff i watched.

the problem is that a person who genuinely felt remorse would also do the same thing but something a friend said put it best I think, which is if a rapist doesn't understand they can't be trusted with power and don't remove themself from it, they don't really understand what they did

Caffeine doesn't replace lost hours of sleep, it only masks the fatigue signals to your brain so you don't realize how tired you actually are. You still suffer the cognitive and physiological deficits from the sleep deficiency, you just can't tell. Which is good actually and fine I've decided

George Saunders on using AI: "Writing is the most precious way one person can communicate their essence to another person. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to get better at making myself present in my writing. Why would I want to sacrifice even one iota of that?"
Have you spent time trying to write or revise with AI? Is there an experiment that would be interesting enough to try?

I have not. Not for a second. To me, this whole idea of using AI to write is . . . anathema. A thing to be most radically avoided.

Writing is the most precious way one person can communicate their essence to another person. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to get better at making myself present in my writing. Why would I want to sacrifice even one iota of that? Not even in an email and certainly not in a short story or novel.Who are we ceding our authority to, exactly, when we let AI write for us? And why? Why surrender our agency (that amazing ability we have to reach across time and space, with our strange, idiosyncratic phenomenon, and land within the sensibility of another human being) to something that, by its very design, pushes the individual sensibility aside? And in the name of . . . what, exactly? Ease, I guess? Efficiency? The person who chooses to write with AI has also sacrificed, from the start, the opportunity of experiencing difficulty, of struggling to say what he wants to say, of making himself evident in his prose, of trying to find out what he believes. By this, he sacrifices a chance to know himself and his mind better. To me, that’s a shame. And it’s dangerous, because, as we are now finding out, it affects the brain and lessens our capabilities. Thanks, but no thanks, get thee behind me, etc.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.
