  • Me too. What's up with that? Gnats too.

  • OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power

  • What quote is misattributed? Also it appears to be a blog post, I don't really think its intention is to report on the facts but rather provide analysis. Fuck OpenAI for this and many other things, the ire is well deserved.

  • To outlaw that while also not providing any replacement would be the same as sentencing tens of millions to die or suffer from treatable illness.

    Who the fuck is saying that? Literally I have never seen someone ever suggest that

    No one would need to directly be paying for healthcare or insurance in order for folks to have good care. In a system that doesn't greatly reward antisocial behavior and policies is there any reason we couldn't you know, maybe NOT require folks to pass any kind of barrier, financial or otherwise, in order to get care? The problem is not just that it's done for profits. Even if all insurance companies had to be nonprofits, as long as we keep doing things this way (the system at large that is not solution focused with the goal of meeting needs effectively and responsibly, but is instead profit driven) they would still have to deny claims to remain afloat.

    Also, don't pretend you give a shit about people suffering or not receiving adequate care when you're an apologist for fucking UHC and Mr Dead CEO.

  • You have to be fucking kidding me 😂

    net positive compared to no health insurance

    Let me stop you right there. Health insurance is a blight on humanity. They do NOT provide healthcare. We have invented the need for insurance, the need for an intermediary who does not have medical expertise or training to be involved in decisions about healthcare. This is not a net positive in any way. A single denied claim makes it a negative. The millions of deaths caused by insurance companies were largely preventable. For everyone keeping score at home, that does appear to me to be what we call a "net negative", unless they provide some incredible benefit that somehow wipes that all away.

    If people don't want companies making massive profit of off peoples' sickness and debts then there is a political party with that stance

    [Citation needed]

    But the US en masse keeps choosing suffering, choosing to create CEOs like Brian.

    What a fucking heartless statement of victim blaming. You appear to have no intersectional understanding, and no awareness of the actual reality faced by a large majority of USians.

  • It is concerning but I don't think it is a process that can be reversed.

    So which are you? Can you not be saved, it's too late and can't be reversed, or you're just immune to the conditioning in the first place? ;)

    It certainly can be reversed my friend, we're doing it right now. Thank you for the kind words and feel free to reach out anytime for any reason (assuming good faith discussion)

  • Thats fucked, I'm gonna look for that story. I've been seeing lots of stuff (even locally in a relatively progressive state) about trans folks' documents being confiscated and/or destroyed when they try to leave or get a new or updated passport or sometimes other docs iirc. Please don't come here, to anyone thinking about it. Period. Unless you're planning to stay a while and help us out, I don't recommend it but we will be needing all the help we can get :(

  • Man this hits home. I'm so sad that I feel like I get treated like a crazy person for actually talking intentionally I.e. for talking about things that are important to me and what I think is important to who I'm talking to, for choosing my words intentionally and not playing games and picking up or putting out coded implications in my speech, and not wasting time having lengthy conversations to nobodies benefits or worse, that are just causing harm. Setting boundaries has been an important part of surviving while staying as consistent with my values and beliefs as possible, but it gets so lonely and difficult and exhausting, I'm constantly on. If you look through my comment history you'll see what I mean, I'm frequently leaving long replies requesting to connect with folks who seem to share interests or sometimes just I'm just making what I feel is an important point, and it seems like hardly anyone engages what I'm saying in good faith and actually hears me, and nobody at all actually reaches out

  • That's basically how I've always pictured it, like in my mental physics playground or whatever, the many, many particles may not be dense when you take a small sample (like a cubic foot of air or something) but through miles of atmosphere it adds up and the light has lots to bounce around and off of before it gets to you. Do I basically have that right? That comment someone added makes me think im understanding it right but maybe not explaining my understanding quite right, but maybe you get what I'm trying to say.

  • Holy fuck that's grim. I didn't pick up what you meant at first my bad but I get it now. You're saying if this is their tactic for the birds, and "let 'er rip" is policy for covid for humans then it's going to be somewhere between "many if not most folks have multiple nontraumatic brain injuries now and autoimmune conditions that are [as I understand it] equivalent to developing AIDS in much shorter time and more" and "we will forcibly cull the herd to protect the future of the project".

  • I can't read this because fuck nyt, but wtf @

    I didn't like the rebuttals in my link above. One of them says that the best thing for you/chickens is "to have a central authority decide to cull you minimizing for a balance of cost and your pain, instead of giving you the chance/choice of either surviving, or far more likely, suffering before death." I would choose the 2nd option, but can only do so under central authority that has already decided what it prefers.

    Like what? Who is saying this to the person that is "you" in this scenario? Wtf? Absolute fucking non starter. I'm not choosing shit, fuck that we're not doing that.

  • We only didn't know because this type of authoritarianism requires an ignorant, sedentary, and fearful populace and so we're not taught the crucial skills it would take to resist as we waste away and treat each other and ourselves like shit, because what we are taught is a zero-sum, individualistic, hierarchical way of life that teaches us the system is perfect and we're not doing it right if we don't get the results we want, and fools us into perpetuating harm in a self sustaining, cyclical manner. It's very sad but all the more reason to try something new. It seeps into everything, it's quite literally a death cult.
