Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

The fact that business folks/MBAs cannot look more than a fiscal quarter into the future is one of the reasons we can't have nice things. We need to stop listening to these people. You want churn? This is how you get churn.

This is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind. just a little mining history and not at all a furious scream

'Liberal' politicians are fully willing to throw trans folks to the wolves, assuming "vote blue no matter who" is enough to earn that block of voters. THAT IS ALSO VOTER SUPPRESSION. You do not deserve those votes or support. You have only earned a community's righteous anger.

I agree that in 2027 and 2028, Congressional investigations, funding the government, and consideration of Trump nominees can NOT be business as usual. No "reaching across the aisle", funding Trump BS, or voting for ANY Trump nominee - judicial or otherwise. Those days are definitely over. 1/

Sony doesn't realize that reasonable consumers actually do assume that purchasing something means that they own it in perpetuity. But on another level, if purchasing a game doesn't mean you own it, then pirating a game isn't material theft. You can't have it both ways!!!

Good to know the centrist position right now is, "Trans people can absolutely die for our country, but they should also be fine with being second-class citizens. Also the government should overreach into legislating recreation." Absolute loser behavior.

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

🚨 The archived version of the suppressed Amnesty report into the anti-trans network operating to dismantle human rights in the UK has been "excluded" from the Wayback Machine. JKR is working very hard to scrub its existence from the eyes of the public. Thankfully, I kept screenshots.

i think ppl would be a lot happier and better-adjusted on here if they realized that being online on a website is like being in any other casual public space full of people. if u walk into walmart u dont immediately think to yourself “i have to be friends with everyone in this walmart and if not everyone likes me i’m a failure” and u really shouldn’t feel that way online either. likewise if there’s a guy in the walmart parking lot shouting obscenities u probably wouldn’t answer him and that’s literally an exact equivalent to some of the weird stuff that people on here seem to feel they’re obligated to respond to.

E-bikes give people affordable, clean transportation. If kids are getting hit by pickup trucks, the answer isn’t to treat e-bikes like the problem; it’s protected bike lanes, safer crossings, lower traffic speeds, and infrastructure that keeps everyone separated from multi-ton vehicles.
