The answer to "How did these Ancient People do this????" is basically always

1. A lot of dudes. Just a ton of fucking people from beginning to end of the process.

2. Ancient people weren't stupid, they just figured shit out the same way we do: fuck around until you find out.

3. We're gonna plan this out and it's gonna take ten fucking years, and you will cope.

4. Sticks and string are surprisingly versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes, like moving stuff and making sure things are even and go in the spot you wanted to put them in!

5. I want to make this easier and more efficient to move. If I put this on the round thing and push, it will move. If I put this in water, it will move. If I get some animals and rope and have a whole bunch of them drag it, it will move. All of these things are a better option than one guy trying to pick the whole fucking thing up.

"I'm not calling the people who believe in this conspiracy theory racist" I am. They're racist. Maybe not out of malice, but the fact that they believe in this is in itself racist. These conspiracies are always about brown people. Machu Pichu, the Pyramids, Göbekli Tepe, Easter Island, it is ALWAYS POC. It's never the Parthenon, it's never the Colliseum, despite the fact that these were built around the same time as some of the other sites these conspiracy chucklefucks like to throw around, it's never something fucking European. It's always "primitive people" with "stone tools" and "no understanding of modern engineering" so "clearly someone must have taught them this or given them the technology because CLEARLY they were just too Primitive and Savage to figure it out themselves." Fuck off with that shit.

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

crazy how every generative AI proponent has been mysteriously quiet about things like AI psychosis, observed cognitive atrophy through repeated generative AI use, use of generative AI chat programs to plan murder(s), and the exacerbation of suicidality via generative AI chat programs. like the best possible read of all this is that generative AI is an experimental technology that needs more guardrails and safeties before it should have been publicly available, and the worst is that it is a sham technology that has an increasing body count that silicon valley does not want to acknowledge because it will scare off investors (which it should).

"dangerous unverified new technology kills people" is not a new phenomenon by any means, but i can't think of a time when the causal relationship between it and suffering + death has been so clear-cut yet so widely denied. really makes you feel fucking insane.

[thehubby]

And don’t let yourself be held back by choice of art medium. I’ve made some damn fine wordcrimes in my time and I will make more. My game design can be occasionally described as a braincrime. I am sure a few of you out there can put up a solid earcrime.

You nosecrime people…well, do your own thing, just do it a little bit further away, okay?
