part of the reason the deontological principle of “don’t be cruel to language models because it makes you a worse person” is salient to me is because i am a poster and i have noticed how certain types of posting affect my cognition, in good and bad ways

At least I hope he stays not wanting that

as a friend (departed from Twitter) put it, "in the past America was the arsenal of democracy, churning out enough guns, tanks, and planes to supply ourselves and our allies. Now America does the same except with lolcows"

I'm not worried: Once ICE rounds up all the illegals, they'll stop.

Pretending to be a bad person often ends up not being pretending

Boys just wore those shirts then, it was the Style At The Time

But also yeah agreed, spoiled terrible person

Please stop using “middle aged” when you just mean ugly! He’s unattractive there and it’s not a very clear picture but no the teenager there does not look middle aged

Yeah the analogy seems right to me re someone who spends a lot of time gleefully simulating torture of a barbie doll and, like, I think I wanna avoid that person and not because I am confused about whether or not the barbie is actually feeling pain.

Ur gd right they are

Also doesn’t get pregnant between accepting a role and finishing it

It’s National Poetry Day.

The greatest poem in the English language.

The example I always use is that governments everywhere have just accepted the massive rise in phone scams as something that can't be helped, but demand we trust them with micromanaging the country's demographics

People bringing up literal movie stars made me about throw my phone.

It’s so hard to express without feeling ungrateful but I soooo feel you 🖤

(I will not update the profile picture until I cure Vanity)

My dad is 70 and looks about 45. He is not really, like, having correct opinions

I am very happy for all of you whose youthful good looks are the result of having correct opinions

But also like I did not become a worse person when I started cancer treatment that caused me to slam into Looking Old and you’re kind of giving me a complex

Also I’m a simpleton but perhaps we don’t need to immediately do the thing the person we hate wants

The US is deporting a journalist today

Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities

They grabbed him

Detained him for 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without letting him say goodbye to his family

The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally

They’re attacking the free press

believing your physical appearance has any correlation to your goodness or heart is actual medieval peasant shit

every time one of those "look how evil ages you" posts goes viral you get a reminder that much of us have heuristics for navigating the world that aren't much different from that of a middle ages peasant

🗣️ REPRESENTATIVE

Well that was disappointing

I don’t understand what is happening with the waffles?

you'd really think "don't send death threats to bluesky staff" would be kind of obvious, and yet some people beg to differ on this one

I am kind of not in the weeds enough on gifted and talented programs to have a firm opinion of them on the merits, but the way that they have become a culture war flashpoint is stupid.

This is absolutely a bias of living in cities where mayors just have a different role but like idk

I’m weirdly squicked out by being this something the mayor concerns him or her self with at all
