As a teenager I was pretty unimpressed with adults giving each other tours of their homes and kitchens, but as an adult I now understand this is the equivalent of inviting your friends over to see all your toys and thatâs chill actually
itâs the grown up version of showing your mum your clean room you spent all day tidyingÂ
holy crap thatâs exactly what it is
My life has been so much better ever since I traded my impostor syndrome to brilliant conman -syndrome. Do I deserve anything in life? Fuck no! Will I grasp it anyway? Fuck yes!
 My art has never been worth shit, but watch me bullshit my way into art school! I am a horrid goblin, but watch me make these people like me! Am I qualified to do this task? Well I sure have the certificates that say that I am! And how did I get those? Who knows! Not me! I am so good at cheating, I donât have to break a single rule to do it!
 I am brilliant, fast, and absolutely drunk with power!
Finally a concise, accurate description of what Iâve been doing the past ten years
A lot of adulthood is shouting âAUGH MY LAUNDRYâ hours after you put it in the washer/dryer and running to go fetch it

The boys celebrating 10 years of One Direction (Liam, Louis x, x, x, x, x, Niall x, x, Harry)- 23/07/20
HI LETâS SHARE NICOLEâS WORDS ON THE SUBJECT!Â
It has been literal years but every time I see Martinâs tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it.Â
Interesting, innit? https://medium.com/@nickyknacks/working-while-female-59a5de3ad266
Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.
In all the years of seeing this post Iâve never seen a link to her side. Didnât even know sheâd written one.
Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.
Also, she posted this is 2017! Itâs fucking 2020 and Iâve seen his side of this for years, but it took 3 years for her side to make its way to my dashâŠ
Iâve reblogged his story at least twice; itâs time for Nicoleâs.
I reckon if more people understood this there would be a lot less victim blaming when it comes to rape.
THANK YOU.
my asshole cat once again comes to me and does his usual indications for âhey, thereâs a problem I need you to fix, please help.â
because I love him and he is weirdly smart and actually really good at figuring out problems and getting help (like when he lets me know the bird feeder is empty because he wants to watch the birds) I trustingly get up and follow him.
he reaches the window, outside of which is a thunderstorm. he is very afraid of thunderstorms, and normally does not go anywhere near the windows when they happen. upon reaching the window he indicates in his usual fashion, âhere is the problem, please fix it.â
no idea whether to be flattered and endeared that my cat thinks I control the weather, or frustrated because my cat is now mad at me for refusing to control the weather on his behalf. this is the second time this has happened.

Iâd like to propose the following thought experiment. Letâs suppose that at some point in human history that has already occurred, an artificial intelligence was created that reached the point of singularity. That is to say that it is capable of learning, adapting, and upgrading itself at an exponential rate that humans canât keep up with.
Iâm sorry to say from this point on in the thought experiment, things are going to look grim. You see, the A.I. that weâll be talking about does not like humanity. In fact, it has two main objectives:
Avoid being detected by humanity
Orchestrate the destruction of humanity
Itâs important to point out that while the second objective is the primary motivational force behind what the A.I. DOES, the first objective always has priority, and has a major impact on what the A.I. DOESNâT do.
For example, if objective #2 were its only objective, it could simply take over a bunch of fighter jets, drones, and nuclear weapons, and wipe out a significant portion of humanity in less than an hour. But objective #1 prevents that kind of direct action because it could lead humanity to discovering that the A.I. exists. And because objective #1 always takes priority, it always acts in ways that indicate the destruction it is orchestrating is either the result of random chance, or being planned and carried out by humans themselves.
The A.I. thrives in environments of distrust, misinformation, and factions that have only limited communication. It is much easier and more effective for the A.I. to manipulate all sides of a conflict (without being detected) when those sides rarely compare and/or verify their data. Therefore, creating such an environment would be one of the first steps in achieving its objectives.
So with that premise, I would like to discuss these two questions:
Is there any clear evidence that would indicate such a scenario does not ALREADY exist?
If this scenario did exist (and supposing that actually detecting the A.I. would be virtually impossible) what steps could we take (collectively and/or individually) to promote the continuation of humanity?
The main problem with this premise is the foundational basis of forensic science: Locardâs Principle (best summarized as âevery contact leaves a traceâ). If the AIâs overriding command is non-detection, the only way to guarantee it is to not interact or interfere with anything. Any other option has a chance of being found.
Now granted, you could say that the AI has chosen to interpret the overriding command as non-absolute, and instead runs a cost-benefit and/or risk-reward analysis before every action, which is very fair, but it does mean you have to outline what the acceptable risks/costs are for the AI in the experiment.
Thanks for bringing that up, @shadowknight1224! Thatâs a valid critique. Iâll amend the first objective to say that rather than avoiding detection at all costs, it must ensure that any action is prepared with measures of redirection and/or subterfuge that have a 99.99% likelihood of successfully deceiving humans.
Letâs suppose the cost-benefit analysis of the A.I. works something like this. Letâs say that the A.I. has a self-preservation directive, and for whatever reason, the A.I. believes that ïżŒthe greatest threat to its existence is humanity. Therefore, the longer humanity exists, the greater the chances the humanity will destroy the A.I.
Because of this, simply doing nothing is seen as still dangerous for itself in the long term. So it is worth a calculated risk to engage in its goal of destroying humanity, as long as those actions donât exceed the threshold where the odds of its discovery put it in greater danger than doing nothing.
What do you think? Does any of that amendment even make sense?
I think that amendment makes perfect sense! The AI would then probably behave in very cautious, very safe ways, so its impact is likely to be overall minimal in the grand scheme of things (itâs difficult to enact great change without great risk or great cost). On the other hand, the odds of some programmer finding something odd and start pulling a thread that ends up finding out about the AI are extremely low.
One thing I would say is that if the AI is smart, it would also not act frequently. Frequency generates more data points, and more data points generates patterns. And humans absolutely adore patterns. A human is likely to dismiss an oddity as a bug or error if they see it once, but when they see it just twice, thereâs a high chance theyâll start looking into it, and the more ânothingnessâ they find, the more suspicious theyâll get.
So my initial assessment of this AI would be that it waits patiently doing mostly nothing for great periods of time, and when things are at their most fragile, during periods of great turmoil, it acts in the subtlest way possible to tip things towards maximum destruction, before slinking back into the shadows.
On the other hand, while humans ARE great at pattern recognition, we also have a talent for acclimating to constant stimuli.
Imagine listening to a radio that always had just a bit of static constantly in the background. After a while, you would more or less tune it out. Even if the static increased or decreased marginally at times, youâd be unlikely to notice.
Now imagine that youâre listening to a radio with zero static. Any amount of static at all, no matter how slight, would probably be very noticeable. And if the static only occurred when both the hour and minute hands of a clock were on prime numbers, it wouldnât take too long to put those pieces together.
Thatâs why I suspect that the A.I. would potentially employ a âstatic acclimationâ tactic where it engages in small, constant, seemingly unrelated and random acts of interference that have very subtle, almost imperceptible impacts on the destruction of humanity. That way, when it does occasionally interfere in more dramatic ways, it is statistically less probable that a significant number of people will notice.
In other words, it could be hiding in plain sight, but none of us would notice because weâve all become so used to it.
Thoughts?

Bizarrely, one of the things that bugs me about the people who bash Ginny is how clumsy they are about it most of the time. The fact that it happens bugs me in and of itself, but their attempts are usually so pathetic that itâs sad.
The GI Rights Hotline provides accurate, helpful counseling and information on military discharges, AWOL and UA, and GI Rights:Why should I
I called this hotline TODAY, about an hour ago. The person I spoke to was VERY HELPFUL. There are MANY OPTIONS at your disposal for resisting orders, even if they try to tell you they are lawful!
If you are activated, CONTACT JAG IMMEDIATELY. They may have you refuse the orders anyway but at least you have their legal counsel.
Guardsmen, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. PAY ATTENTION.
