  • If the AI was a person the mods could have banned them. The developers had to patch how the AI responded to stimuli to prevent this behavior.

    The problem isn’t only the bad behavior. It’s the automation of the bad behavior that enables systems and essentially tool assisted people to mass produce the bad behavior in a way that can’t be managed without aggressive moderation.

    Also, that sucks that the filter got applied to the article. It wasn’t there when I read it initially.

    So I was obsessively reading this manga about fish with legs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyo

    And the bonus manga with the Steven Universe human sized holes in the sides of mountains. This was before Steven Universe as far as I’m aware.

    spoiler

    The holes were not from incubated crystal gems.

    While my mom was listening to the earlier song OP’s talking about on a loop while working out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY

    So the two are linked in my head as if the song was used in a trailer for a movie adaption of the manga. It was a while ago, like summer of 2011, but that’s what popped in my head the second I saw “Somebody I used to know”.

    It’s weird how both songs have the same intro but the new one sounds relatable. Oh, after watching the full music video for the new one it seems that the new is clearly a homage to the original:

    That’s cool. I’m glad they made it. They even have the people covered in the background art standing against the wall. =D









  • The second one is just boy-moding when I was an egg. And now boy-moding as a mostly openly trans woman. And while it is used to invalidate my woman-hood, it’s not that I can’t publicly express it, it’s all I get to express in public irl anyway.

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding what this person is saying. But all attempts with masculinity were me trying to say woman with only the word man. But otherwise a pretty accurate description of the whole, me living as a trans woman, life story, thing.







  • Resisting tyranny is how everything good in the world is possible. The way to have lives worth living is to defeat tyrants and their ideologies. We defeated the Nazis but not fascism. Now we have to defeat the ideological descendants of the Nazis.

    If we don’t defeat fascism, neoliberalism, and capitalism now the turn around time for the next fascist movement will be measured in years not decades. We have seen as much with the Biden administration. They failed to meaningfully hold Trump and MAGA to account for the insurrection or fundamentally fix the underling systemic issues that they are symptoms of and now we are living under fascist rule.

    We don’t have dignified lives or liberal democracies to go back to. The way to get something better is with socialist democracies where workers own corporations and the political process. Until then it’s liberty or death. We benefited from a free democracy. If anyone is to enjoy that again we must resist now and until we are all free.
