You are a human being, act with the dignity and rationality of one, not a beast.

"Research from the Center for A.I. Safety finds current AI models are fundamentally anti-White and anti-Christian. For example, GPT-5 values White lives at 1/20th of non-White lives."

i love listening to average americans talk about foreign policy because it's very, very similar to listening to a child make up a story

you know nothing except the state department propaganda line and filling in the gaps between that and reality with plots from action movies

This historic photograph captures a four-horse yellow-painted tourist stagecoach kicking up dust as it navigates the treacherous terrain of Virginia Canyon Road in Yellowstone National Park in the summer of 1905. In the background, the rushing waters of the Virginia Cascades slice through the canyon.

Commemorative stela uncovered from the Temple of Marduk in Babylon, 900-800 BC

from The British Museum

(1) (This) image of Adad-etir, the dagger-bearer of Marduk, (2) adorned by Sin, Shamash, and Nergal, (3) who fears Nabu and Marduk, who owes allegiance (4) to the king, his lord, Marduk-balatsu-ikbi, (5) his eldest son, has fashioned, (6) and for future days, (7) for his seed and his posterity, (8) has set up. (9) Whosoever in days to come (10) the image (11 f.) or this memorial-stone (13) shall destroy, (14) or by means of (15) a crafty device shall cause them to disappear, (16) may Marduk, the great lord, in anger (17) look upon him, and his name and his seed (18) may he cause to disappear! May Nabu, the scribe of all, (19) curtail the long number of his days! (20) But may the man who protects it be satisfied with the fullness of life!

which is why i often just go out and buy durable medical goods on my own. i normally get the exact same thing but for less than my after-insurance portion. And its normally because technically i'm just buying it from the internet sans prescription from people willing to sell stock for a fair price (probably more than they'd get selling it to a medical supply company).

Remember at the beginning of all this, when the neocon cope was that we are bombing Iran to “free the Iranians”

and then when the Mossad backed chaos failed to produce regime change, we just started bombing bridges and hospitals and schools full of little girls?

These people would really rather water the Middle East with their kid’s (and other people’s kids!) blood than admit that the American empire is a dying shopping mall and maybe, just maybe, endless wars for foreign interests is a bad idea. Maybe it’s morally wrong. Maybe “it’s war!” isn’t and never was a valid excuse.

I'll say for the millionth time that I think the euphemism treadmill (which goes back a lot further than you think) is a kind of mind control

Way before the stand-up comedians were joking about being politically correct in the 90s, before even the rise of the infantilizing human resources department in the 70s and 80s even--we were neutering language to remove its punch. Sanitizing phrases that too bluntly and accurately described a situation.

So while being "advertiser friendly" is one of the ways its sold today, it really predates that entire concept. at its roots it's about control.

Because in a lot of ways conscious thought is downstream from language. Things that are heard over and over, or spoken over and over, have a way of just working their way in to how we think.

Anyway I don't doubt advertisers have a lot of influence here--they have always been anxious about what content their brands are associated with. It's not all some vast mind control conspiracy...but the end result will be the same.

More people who are even less capable of handling serious subjects because they've been infantilized even further. Which I'm not sure anyone in any position of real power would find to be a negative.

Many people have a noble savage view of prison

[heidelbro]

Like pretending there is violence because of a rules-based honor driven culture, and not because prison is full of emotionally unregulated mental retards
