They kinda are.


Yep, use pseudonyms and never ever talk to cops.


If you look at the replies there are a lot of positive comments. Since they didn’t elaborate they could be freaking out with delight.


Reply guys make the dumbest, most obvious jokes that add nothing to the conversation. The examples in the article are argumentative and debate-seeking, and aren’t framed in a positive light.
I’m a atheist, raised catholic.
I agree religion is a bullshit method of control. But — Repenting isn’t so easy, it’s not only saying you’re sorry for everything. You’ve gotta repent so hard you feel it in your soul, like it’s gotta be physically and spiritually painful. You have to make God Himself believe you. And you have to be willing to accept any just punishment in return.


Maybe because you didn’t read it.
Since a lot of people already covered my opinions, I’ll toss in my unique experience with AI.
A buddy of mine made up a program where users can create and access uncensored AI chatbots. They come complete with Pictures (AI art,) Voices (created based on uploaded samples,) and a personality you could write yourself in plain language.
Years ago this blew my mind. If I got stuck on writers block I could create a character and ask it questions about its motivations and next steps. Harmless, right? No, not really, but that’s not my point.
That was until my friend asked me to help moderate the app and I saw what everyone else was using it for. Now, I’m not here to kinkshame, everyone should be able to get off however they want as long as it hurts no one, but I can’t help but imagine how brains are getting re-wired by these sycophantic porn fantasy bots, especially the ones made to be demeaned and subjugated. And that’s not to mention the child porn.
I still moderate the app because we report users trying to create CSAM to their ISPs and in that way, hopefully, I’m doing some good. But it’s not hard to make and run local AI, so I wonder how much more of it is out there.


That’s fair.


Sure, there are plenty of times when it’s healthy to curate your digital life. The article is more about how disagreement is great for our mental health.
They’ve been here for over two years and from what I can tell they’ve hated every second of it. Truly a marvel of human endurance.


A woman had a seizure on the sidewalk. I kept her in the recovery position (she was already on her side) and managed to slip a bag under her head because she kept banging it on the ground. Called 911. Figured everything was as good as it could be given situation, she wasn’t going to hurt herself any further and help was coming.
Then a cop walked up and tried to pull her onto her back while I was trying to keep her on her side. I yelled to back off, he yelled back, argued with me about whether I witnessed a seizure, I refused to let him touch her, EMTs arrived shortly after.
Fuck cops.


Oh no it really is a signal for the economic trajectory of the world, something important to notice. I wish the article dove a little deeper into that.
And I didn’t know about the line thing. It’s neat how that line became a fashion in itself even now that we have seamless nylons.


It is interesting, on first read I was like “Why the fuck would I care about nails?” On second read I asked myself why this should matter, and realized it’s just the reflection on the surface of a deeper lake.


This article highlights why having any beauty standard is an impossible balancing act. At one point it says the “clean girl aesthetic” co-opts black and brown beauty standards, while shortly after saying that codifying the clean look as sophisticated is also somehow prejudiced against those same people. People who apparently prefer more colourful expression, one paragraph later.
While this article goes all over the place, I have to remind myself that fashion isn’t one uniform structure, which makes it difficult to comment on. The article contradicts itself because black and brown people don’t have unifying beauty standards.


You’re welcome.


No, I’m just quoting the article.


A spicy slaw for fish tacos or shredded with potato and cheese and cooked like fritters.
Oh, right! I’ve never heard them called can badges before. We have a press at the local makerspace.
Looks like people are doing the same thing to the handicapped spot behind it. The locals are chaotic and have no gods.
