iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This is what I do now.

I eventually stopped doing it because I couldn't post a "free [insert furniture here]" post without investing so much time in telling people that no, I cannot provide free delivery for a free chair.

Isn't this every professional relationship though?

They care if there was quid pro quo or if someone is sleeping up/down the org chart, but yeah they generally don't care what ICs are doing with each other outside of work hours.

People are really reaching if they think he's talking about people with serious clinical depression and not people dooming about the election/politics.

Railroad. You'd have to pretend it's not offering anything useful to argue the former, and I know some people do argue this, but I think it's just extreme denial at this point.

It was definitely a fun time when this was the dominant form of website. Just some dude's passion website about his favorite thing.

Not voting for Ossoff? Why?

XOmniverse @shawnhuckabay.info · 01/10/2026

The people concerned about human atrocities are already voting for him. That's not who he has to win over.

I've learned that once it goes insane, you just gotta start a new session from scratch and write a better prompt. Otherwise, it'll keep referencing the argument you had with it and keep being more and more confused.

Can you outline specifically what he individually could do that he isn't doing? Individual Senators can't pass laws.

This is someone who clearly doesn't know Stancil's history with tracking ICE.

But have you considered that she wasn't perfect on Israel? I mean she was clearly better than Trump on Israel, but that doesn't matter for some reason.

It provides evidence for later.

I'm less numb and more just curdled and bitter about it because one only has the energy to scream so much.

Communism is definitely merely one of many flavors of authoritarianism, but to call it "unrelated" is to ignore empirical evidence to the point of delusion.

As someone without kids, this explains to me why some parents seem to get so upset when their kid won't eat. It always seemed a bit much to me if it was merely normal frustration.

XOmniverse @shawnhuckabay.info · 21/09/2026

Not only do we not know that; most evidence points to it not being true. The idea of a central "self" is more of a useful intuitive fiction.

If "code" effectively just means deterministic heuristics with predictable responses to input, so does your brain.

A lot of discourse here boils down to "leftists getting mad at normie libs for fighting fascism because they deeply need the solution to fascism to be 'the revolution' and the normie libs are ruining that"

A senator can't do a whole lot without enough other likeminded senators (and a corresponding house) to actually pass bills.

I wonder if the issue is that the data as a whole looks good but this doesn't capture what changing conditions materially look like for, say, the bottom 20%. The above is all stuff I could weather, but can everyone?

1) A plain whopper sandwich at my local Burger King is like $7 now. 2) Computer hardware prices are through the roof. 3) Rent, which is already very high, continues to climb with no relief in sight. Are we SURE the vibecession is just vibes?

I suppose if you never tell fascists they are full of shit, you never get to experience what the result of that is.

This is the perfect Will Stancil reply - insulting, insinuating, psychologizing, and not providing a single counterpoint.

So at the risk of being judgmental, they were gullible morons.

Corporations are made up of people, though. The whole legal fiction of "corporations are people" exists to ensure that Constitutional rights of PEOPLE can't be violated simply because they were acting within a corporate context.

I'm sure the people who refused to vote for Kamala Harris "because of Palestine" are patting themselves on the back. How many dead people is your egotistical feeling of moral purity worth?

I see that the BlueSky leftists are moving onto "It's not just the bourgeoisie but the petit bourgeoisie who are the problem" phase.

I think most of you people have never actually thought about this question seriously at all and just assume your intuitions must have some clear argument supporting them, even if you yourself are ignorant of those arguments.

We don't actually know sentience requires energy. It's a reasonable assumption if we assume physicalism is true, but physicalism is just as unproven as anything else.

Just link people to this when they pretend the notion that consciousness might be an all-pervasive thing isn't taken seriously anywhere: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panpsyc...

FYI, I'm only gonna read your gift article if I don't have to create an account to see it. Otherwise, they are just asking for payment in data and a new target for spam.

The problem is that you lost like 70% of your potential audience at "cybersecurity and encryption", which they'll flag as "complicated computer stuff I can't understand"

"The judge factored his murder-for-hires into sentencing." A crime they had insufficient evidence to convict him of. Which means it was effectively imprisoning him for something he was not duly convicted of. Which is bullshit.

Given that there's a huge cultural understanding that Trump bullshits all the time, I don't think it's a given that you have to always add "he's probably full of shit" when reporting on what he's saying, at least in the headline.
