The window visual did me in Iâm wheezing
I havenât seen this in years and yet it is burned into my memory forever.
This is on the short list of Eternal Reblog because itâs fucking legendary.
An honourable candidate for the @hellsite-hall-of-fame
I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.
He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense
Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.
My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.
Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.
He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM
All it means when people say âyouâre speaking from a place of privilegeâ is that youâre likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. Itâs not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.
^^^^^^ read it. say it out loud. keep repeating it until you understand.
academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches
"you're just scared your diploma is going to devalue" i'm afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell
I'm afraid they'll become scientists and data that lives depend on will turn out to be wrong - and people will die.
I'm afraid they'll become engineers and sign off on bridge designs that collapse - and people will die.
I'm afraid they'll become medical professionals who don't know what they're doing - and people will die.
The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you're learning to do doesn't matter.
"The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you're learning to do doesn't matter."
There have been multiple major scandals of Academic dishonesty that devalued decades of research, and to know people eagerly encourage more of it is horrifying.
People pretending societal disgust with students and professionals relying on AI like a crutch is some sort of Luddite pearl-clutching against new technology completely dismiss how seriously institutions and the general public used to treat traditional forms of academic dishonesty like plagiarism and cheating. It used to be career-ending. Then-Senator Biden lost-out on his first run for the presidency largely because of a plagiarism scandal and he was neither the first or last to suffer consequences for similar dishonesty.
LLM are, by definition, plagiarism machines. The automation does not afford the user the plausible deniability of âoh, I did not know I was copyingâ because copying is all these AI systems do. Even relying on LLMs trained exclusively on content knowingly and willingly uploaded by the original authors (which do not exist anyway) is no better because the end user is still trying to pass-off someone elseâs work as their own to cover-up for their lack of original effort, insight, or creativity.
There is no acceptable reason to use generative AI for leisure, academic, or professional pursuitsâthe first is stupid, the second is dishonest, the third is dangerous.
So one of the things that can apparently contribute to kidney issues in cats is if they eat too much dry food and don't drink enough water; cats are adapted to get a lot of their water from their food since they're originally desert animals, and might not get enough water if they don't eat wet food. Unfortunately, Dozy won't eat wet food no matter what; she categorically refuses to touch the stuff. So a few months ago, we were looking for ways to get Dozy more fluids, and my wife noticed at the pet store a cat drink--basically meat broth with some floaty bits in--that was low-protein and meant for cats with kidney issues. So we figured, worth a try, right?
Great news: she loved it. Super tasty apparently. Great success. Along with the kidney-sensitive treats we found, it was a nice way to supplement her diet. Unforseen long-term consequence though: she loved it so much she began demanding it throughout the day. Like, would come up to us and meow, and meow, and meow, and not stop, until we got up, went to the kitchen, and got her some cat drink.
And by doing so on demand, we have unfortunately created a monster: no matter what we are doing at home, Dozy knows that if she sits next to you and meows, 1) you know what she wants, and 2) you know that she will not stop until you get it for her now. And when you do get it, she gets extremely excited. She will bum rush the kitchen door as you enter. She will run around your feet as you open the can. She will let out the creakiest, crunchiest, most nails-on-the-chalkboard meow you've ever heard if she thinks you're not going fast enough.
I do not begrudge her this. It is gratifying to care for a creature whose most ardent desires are so simple that it is this easy to fulfill them. But I am a little sad, because I know in my heart that I have never loved any comestible as much as she loves this cat drink. She has a pleasure of a purity and intensity that I will never know.

I'm going down a rabbit hole looking through this Thai cattery that breeds for white back-stripes
can you imagine what it will be like the day it finally happens. no one will be posting about anything else. category 10 posting event. if it happens because of someone else their gofundme page will reach over $500,000 within a day. #hopecore

âGhosts are realâ I can see how you could believe that
âGhosts arenât realâ itâs very fair and rational that you believe that
âGhosts arenât real anymoreâ Iâm about to hear a poem or very sad story
âGhosts arenât real yetâ the fuck are you going to do
One time I did that thing where you try to commune with your ancestors by getting insanely sleep-deprived and doing a shitload of drugs at a place that was sacred to them, which in my case was the parking lot where they used to dump the frogs after they injected them with piss. And obviously I was hoping to get given a revenge quest, like a relatively-recent one that I could conceivably still track down and kill somebody's descendent over?
But I guess I should have used different drugs because the wronged ancestor I got was this I think neanderthal who was around when they invented bags. Like, to carry shit in. Before bags they just carried everything like, in their hands and arms and stuff.
And she was still mad about the bags! Like, absolutely furious that some other biped had done that. Total disrespect to the craft of carrying items, in her opinion; ruined a whole generation's balance and arm strength. And she personally had been *so* good at balancing fruits and dead animals in her arms stably and over lengthy walks. Which she demonstrated to me.
And she was like "you know why you have back pain. It's those fucking bags." And I went, "oh yeah I know my doctor told me my fucking high school backpack did permanent damage." Then I had to tell her about backpacks, and you have never SEEN a neanderthal or whatever she was that fucking mad. She asked if I could find a descendent of whoever was responsible for *those* to kill, and I had to say no, I'm sorry, but the backpacks were also a really long time ago, I cannot trace guilt in blood on that one either.
So she was really pissed off and went like "I don't think you really even want an ancestral revenge quest." And I was feeling kind of defensive at this point and asked her why she didn't kill the bag lady herself with a spear when she wasn't looking. And then I had to explain spears, too. I guess the bags came first?
But anyway, apparently one of my ancestors died trying to drown the inventor of the bag, and as a result I agreed to kill the dean of my high school (a compromise). I wrote to Ursula K. Le Guin about this but she never responded.
Stop tagging this "unreality," it happened
me when i gET YOU
awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like theyâre gone. itâs the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
thatâs not the whole flag, now is it
hey staff what the fuck
hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose
HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE
what if I just made my profile picture a male calico cat or something. hurm
Could I suggest a picture of Dawntreader Texas Calboy? He is a beautiful male calico cat who is a chimera. He's also somewhat controversial among some cat fancy associations since he is a male cat with female colors, and some people are strangely transphobic towards him, despite him being a cat? There was even a rule implemented to keep him from competing in a cat show. If you look up his name, he made a few news articles.
Oh my god?????
Yeah you're right about beautiful I'm squeezing him until he pops!!!!! I love this guy I think I'm going to make an edit real quickly Calboy I love you I'm so sorry people are calling you a freak??????
