I’m sorry it was me. Now I transitioned so I’m the one in the bottom picture too 😎

But they did live in Eden, we’ve got a bunch of those.

Who gets to decide it’s a civil war?

Very much depends what kind of programming you’re doing. Graphics uses shittons of maths. Data analysis/data science is maths/stats heavy. Other types less so!

I think you underestimate how little people like being conquered, even when they will very likely lose.

If the purpose of a system is what it does, then it seems the purpose of democracy is the self flagellation of the masses.

Idk how easy it easy to just build a nuke… I feel like the long range missile is the hard part, right? The actual nuclear part isn’t quite so complex. Maybe I’m wrong.

Is anyone surprised?

I would say everyone does it. Confirmation bias isn’t something you can completely avoid. You can try to recognise it in yourself, but most of the time it’s a lot more subtle. As simple as reading something you agree with and not going to check the source. We ALL do that.

Oh good, another world war

I really feel for the billions of people, including my fucking self, who didn’t get a vote but who still have to suffer the consequences of this.

Jesus fucking Christ not again

I mean, ChatGPT?

If you need a personality, try HammerAI. You can create your own characters using explicitly SFW models (I mean NGL most of the public models are porn, but there are normal ones too). It all runs locally so you have a lot of control over it… Not as flashy as others, of course.

One downfall of what I only hesitantly refer to as modern feminism (although really I’m talking about terfs and the terf-adjacent) is that it has painted men as dangerous by default. I’m also a trans woman so I’ve seen both sides of the coin, too… I do feel less safe now, this is true. Many things were easier when I was living as a man. But I was never dangerous or an abuser.

Nonetheless, a former partner used accusations of abuse against me and turned so many people on me. The only ones that stuck by me were former romantic partners, who knew the accusations couldn’t have been true. For everyone else, it was so easy to accept that a man - even a clearly gentle one - would be an abuser.

In reality I’ve been a victim of abuse - physical, emotional, sexual… All long before I transitioned.

I gotta agree, I tried 4 or 5 times and just never got into it. Doesn’t help that I’m not great at party RPGs, but yeah the story was slow and I remember being unimpressed with the dialogue options… It always felt like you were kinda pushed towards and inevitable outcome rather than really influencing things.

Hisssss! Get away with your poison words! Leave me to my tippy tapping at my special clickety clackety keyboard!

We truly are the closest thing in our world to eldritch gods.

Us and all the weird shit in the sea, obviously.

No, that’s also a measure of size used primarily for those big fords with the tiny beds.
