We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

i don't think these things are "reasoning" or "thinking" but i do think they're useful interanimation machines. but that utility is dramatically diminished when literal garbage is injected into the context window.

At the top, it says "SHEN MAKES AN EARNEST ATTEMPT AT MAKING A FURSONA. The currently ongoing post series at the $3 tier on patreon.com/shencomix". Below that, Shen is sitting at the table in his room, lit by a standing lamp to his right, sweating, tapping his pencil on a piece of paper, and saying 'man how TF do I do this..." He is surrounded by crumpled pieces of paper on the table, and a trash bin to his right is also filled with crumpled pieces of paper. Behind him on the wall is Da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man', a picture of a crab, a picture of an owl, and a drawing with Shen's head, a plus symbol, a raccoon head, an equals sign, and two question marks.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then itโ€™s not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. - Dwight Eisenhower

#Epstein helped the rich to avoid taxes.

And added pretty girls.

Heโ€™s exactly the asshole that he was thought to be.

Like the French husband who invited men to abuse his wife.

The thing I hate about large cons is going home and seeing all your best friends post pictures of their adventures at the same con and having never passed them once the whole weekend.

Reminder that people who advocate against ABDL never say shit about victims of child sexual abuse or exploitation.

because to them it's not about actual objectional shit and helping people - it's about saying something that'll get them attention from an echo chamber and harm people with a platform.

I was recently thinking about this video in the context of bad-faith callouts.

Pay attention when an accusation is worded oddly - often, while not technically lying, it IS evoking an idea that is NOT what actually happened.

They know exactly what they're doing.

Being a piece of shit to random people for having a kink that only looks vaguely like something harmful if you remain perperually willfully ignorant about everything is not a good thing, actually.

Ignorance is no excuse. Be better.

I do not have said kink.

In fact, that kind of content squicks me out.

But it takes a really unenlightened piece of shit to lampoon someone for it as if they were the same thing as a child predator.

Get fucked, losers. Maybe you'll stop being so tightly wound.
