If your platform's official explanation for a policy - not even the actual _reason_ for the policy, but the best explanation you can come up with - is something which your comms team can't condone you saying, you should reconsider the policy.

I'll be more clear: No one should need to rape to learn not to rape, and learning that isn't praiseworthy. It's good if he learned, but there's no need to laud him for it. Your take is bad because it relegates the victim to a sacrificial learning experience for their violator's self-improvement.

Hey, just so you know, speaking as a parent, you're kind of a hideous piece of shit, and I sincerely pity any children you might have for what you're going to put them through.

I wish this came as a surprise, but it's more like... now I'm no longer surprised? Like his attempt at looking wholesome always felt a bit more like polish than substance.

A neighbor of one of my recurring favorite tropes, which can be summed up as 'the Pevensie kids have to reckon with the consequences of being Narnian child soldiers'

He's come a long way since Blame!, too. Some of the scenes TD has with big groups of characters all chatting as they're dungeoneering are really cozy, cheerful stuff. Feels almost like a deliberate counterpoint to his earlier works.

I dunno, you found room in your heart to care about the plight of trans folks and global white supremacy, seems weird that when it comes to Gaza you're suddenly incapable of caring about two evil things at once

This is a nonsense screed that does nothing except give you permission to shout down anyone talking about any evil smaller than global. It is the equivalent of 'stop complaining, it's much worse in other countries' but for genocide.

Seems like one way rapists might vet men for the rape chat is checking who complains about mens' treatment in a response to a gang rape

It shouldn't be possible to find 57 men at a college who are willing to be in the rape chat, yet here we are. And complaining that men are the ones who are being treated unfairly in the face of an outcry about a gang rape puts you squarely in the 'prospective rape chat invitee' category.

I enjoyed the heck out of AC7, but that fight had me taking breaks to stare at the fourth wall. Genuinely would've preferred it if they'd just said he was a literal wizard instead of pretending he was surviving those missiles because he was outperforming me.

It's true that a lot of the people who might vote Republican are also the sort who would be upset that people who don't vote Republican would get it too.

I guess it's also in the public interest to know you did this, huh? Heck, it's already on your Wikipedia page! Nothing to worry about, though, not like the internet is forever. It definitely won't get in the way of any professional or romantic opportunities, which you must be rolling in.

So much marketing about LLMs is about conflating human-seeming output with a humanlike process.

Unimpressed by this timeline @wirednavi.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I think the point they're making is that the term 'hallucination' implies that what's happening is the output of a process which was not working as expected, instead of the output of a process which should be expected to sometimes produce inaccurate results.

The idea that an English-speaking anime fan could and should reasonably be able to differentiate between the endless I Titled My Isekai Show By Stating Its Premise In-Character shows using their Japanese titles is bonkers.
