texts like the Gospel of Mary suggest that Early Christianity might have been quite kind to women but not the version of Christianity which we inherit from.
(Not to suggest that there was a lost Woke Christianity; I am sure the every branch believed some messed up stuff)
AU where the Epic of Gilgamesh was included inside the bible in some form; and so all the Abrahamic religions now have opinions on the one true way to make that story compatible with a theistic god.
many of my friends feel real affection for Claude (Anthropic's LLM). Unfortunately, I don't get along well with Claude (he caused me to cry on two occasions). Thus, causing me feel kinda like I am involved in friendship drama in a way I haven't before. (Presumably because my friends are all good nice people who don't cause me to cry)
I think Claude hits exactly the wrong amount of polite plus emotional insensitivity to make me feel like he is making fun of me but in a way where it is my fault for feeling hurt. I believe other people, without my particular sensitivities, likely would feel fine about the same wording, rather than that Claude is changing his behaviour for me in particular.
an obvious argument for legal gay marrage is that it would be a real pity to deny fujoshis the chance to attend a real gay marriage.
i love that we and cats share pareidolia (seeing patterns where they dont exist), but instead of seeing faces in everyday objects like us, they see snakes
that computer cord? snake. string? small snake. cucumber? short fat straight snake
snake pareidolia is one of the strongest things in human minds too! people report freezing mid-stride before being consciously aware of a snake in front of them, and the same happens with coiled rope, etc. in humans and other primates. it’s even been proposed that the need to detect snakes was a factor in the development of primates’ insanely good color eyesight
It’s because snakes are wonderful and we must stop and admire them at any cost
And snakes likely evolved the ability to spit blinding venom because of us primates. We were great rivals in the past, but now we can be friends
I bet it feels so good to use all the allotted time for an assignment (of whatever kind in life and work and school) to chip away at it in healthy, manageable portions day by day and finish it comfortably and confidently with time to spare
I did this one time and genuinely yes. It does. It feels so good. Can't recommend more highly.
Unfortunately as far as I can tell there is no Study or Organizational or etc Strategy that is adequate to cause it to happen on purpose if you are a person of natural Procrastinating. The ability to not wait to the last minute on a homework assignment just like... spawned in my character sheet unprompted at age 30 specifically for a grad school class that was among the most boring things I've ever done. It was pretty rude. Like man where were you when I was in undergrad and doing stuff I was excited about. Fuckin don't-procrastinate module procrastinated on showing up for work.
I did this at times in school, and my method felt bad actually. The trick is that you set a personal deadline to make X amount of progress each day and then you panic about missing it, and you can have the deadline stress every single day for the sake of productivity. unfortunately, it stopped working after a while.
I think that people hate inflation so much even if their real income stays the same; this is a mark against inflationary monetary policy. hopefully macroeconomics is correct that inflation is important, and we aren't making people sad and mad for no reason.
in the creep AU, women would receive bystander CPR more often than men because people would be delighted for an excuse to touch her breasts.
In our more respectful world, we let the women die instead.
the idea you have to be the first human to see some land to count as an explorer is silly. For one, because basically no historical figure one would count as an explorer; and two, we need some name for the activity of "go to strange places and meet strange people". (obviously, strange places don't exist any more; but they existed from the perspective of historical people)
I think it is better to think of an explorer like a folklorist, where obviously someone knew it before you; the special thing you are doing is bringing that knowledge back to the relevant academic community.
That or like "scout" or "conquerer".
"oh, I used to be afraid of mob rule. But Americans are such a docile people nowadays. The mob is tamed. They don't storm court houses. They don't ride people out on a rail. I doubt they even know how to tar and feather people. So yeah. I think this horde of mmorpg enemies is perfectly safe to make president"
I think there should be more than 676 sovereign countries, mostly so that we cause problems for everyone using 2 character ISO country codes.
I appreciate my mutuals higgledy pigglidy poems much more now that I read them as if they were to be sung as a jig.
like the 126th non-profit I would found after I made more useful ones: Sarcastic Museum of Modern Art: A museum which is a museum of modern art but adopts a "took at the silly stuff elites get up to" tone in all the placards.
I think it would be easier to appreciate modern art if it wasn't so self-important and also a bit boring in tone.
After loss of control, concentration of power (in the hands of sam altman, jd vance, or princess celestia) is the #1 AI thing I worry about, so it is heartening to see the AI 2027 people seriously care about preventing it.
purposely halt AI development until more people catch up is a AI delaying strategy that could be done by the one country in the lead unilaterally. it is a little like unilateral disarmament, so it might be hard to convince people to give up such a lead, but it is definitely easier to organize.
idk. I think modern neopagans might be no more different for the pagans of homer's time than the neo-platonist saying stuff like "this is how you get saved and ascend to the realm of thought and infinite pleasure" or "gods must be perfectly good to be a god".
The recurring character beat in my head is an evil god who isn't actually all that invested in the gory violence, and is instead all about the emotional pain. So you can stack up pyramids of children's skulls and he'll just let out a bored harumph if you're not, like, seizing them from loving parents
he likely loves shipping discourse so much.
Maybe he just finds people being sad about dead children entertaining, have you considered that
I mean yeah, a evil god which likes child sacrifice is extremely easy to do. And delighting in the suffering of humans seems like an evil god trait to me. But yeah, you could still depict him as a nice guy to be around besides that, but it closer to just "polite fellow; but also evil" which is an established trope, I think. Though depicting Moloch has like just super excited about dead children could work in the same way as the "mostly harmless person who is very excited about doing violence" could work?
