even before LLMs i used to often say that the way you treat insects and other invertebrates says quite a lot about you as a person i still stand by that, even more so today

a tumblr post by heedra that says: "if you learn to love bugs with all your heart the world will feel half as hostile and a thousand times as big
(second post)
Theres a sentiment I'm noticing in the tags that I'd like to address.  I dont think learning to love bugs with all your heart means forcing yourself out of discomfort you have with them overnight. It's about observing a different sort of being going about its life and deliberately trying to reframe your observations through a sense of wonder and delight. It's about cultivating a positive interest and curiosity for their ecology and behaviors. It's especially about trying to uncouple the value we find in them from how 'convenient' they are to us; to face head on the part of us that wants to assign moral evil to another organism who just happens to live life in a way that is not harmonius with ours. You can love insects in this way and still recognize your own health and safety needs. We are animals living side by side within a biosphere. This is how it is, sometimes.

I think this is important to cultivate because, if you are alive at all, you are coming into conflict with countless other people and things that dont owe you an apology for their existance and needs. If you are alive at all, you are encountering countless other people and things that harmful bias and personal discomfort have made repulsive to you. This is about bugs, but its also about way more than bugs."

Went on my exercise bike last night for the first time in ages, thought "oh I should take it easy, I always damage my muscles not being careful" Woke up this morning pleasantly surprised to find that my legs feel fine! I am currently stuck in bed because I hurt my back. the haters continue winning

IMPORTANT PRIVACY PSA: YouTube has foolishly rolled out a new “feature” that will dox you or compromise your privacy without you knowing! When you tap the share button on a video and send a link now, anyone opening that link will see your channel name, handle, and avatar! Enabled by default. 🫪
YouTube share notification showing a red circular avatar at top, with text "Sent by" followed by redacted channel name and handle. Two buttons below: "Allow messaging" (white) and "Not now" (dark). Bottom text reads "Allowing as @" with redacted handle. The image demonstrates YouTube's new feature that exposes user channel information when sharing video links.YouTube Privacy settings screen with a red-bordered section highlighting "Channel visibility for shared links" toggle (currently off). The setting states: "Show your channel name, handle, and profile picture to people who open links you share outside YouTube." Other visible options include "About your location," "Blocked contacts," "YouTube Terms of Service," and "Allow users to mention me" toggle (also off).

Was just reading a thread on here and thought about the nature of conversation on social media like bluesky, with people starting discussions off of different points within a thread, and I realised it reminded me a lot about the Nomai texts in Outer Wilds with its looping and branching nature.

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in: 1. Do not do age verification. 2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

My humble and inexperienced take on consciousness is that, to me, it seems all that's necessary for consciousness is a way for a system to record information, and a way for that system to record information about its own reading of that record.

One thing that radicalized me on this was following golden rice, as a friend of mine was working on it in the 00s. People in the Philippines destroyed a trial crop because of propaganda from rich countries with no vitamin A deficiencies, especially from Greenpeace and existing grain producers.

combine defining trans people as inherently sexually explicit with the worldwide rollout of ID verification on its surface appears to be: “trans people are hidden from minors” wrong: it results in “trans people cannot communicate without showing ID & can only communicate with those who show ID”

This doesn't seem worth having a Discord account
Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet
and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP
addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”

This. This is why you should never EVER trust a website or service with your government ID, whether your from the UK or elsewhere. It's an invasion of citizen privary and can easily be nabbed by those who know what they're doing.
