my name is milo (מיילו)/meir (מאיר). i'm a 21y/o american reform jew. i'm autistic and a DID/OSDD system (system blog: @yidplural). i'm into star trek, rush, and other stuff too probably. i am a zionist, i believe in a two state solution, and i stand by the jewish peoples' ancestral connection to our ancient homeland and our universal right to return to the same.

who turned them german mid tag ?
how do you know they were transformed midday?
I do think people who hate A.I. need to be a little more self-critical about when their own backlash hurts other people.
Such as when people attack an actual artist due to a claim that the art was Gen A.I., and then when the fact they’re getting unwarranted hate & did not even use A.I. is brought to light, someone says “ugh I hate that we have to worry about this now due to A.I.”
Like, no, A.I. didn’t make you do that. You should’ve been verifying facts before taking action against others to begin with, and the issue of dogpiling people online over unverified rumors has been a big problem for a long time before these Gen A.I. models even existed. The existence of A.I. means verifying facts is more difficult, but the way to prevent attacking people over false positives is stuff you probably should’ve been doing anyways. Don’t act like A.I. made you do it.
for as long as this A.I. boom/bubble lasts, A.I. is going to be used—by the companies running the models, and by the users—to obfuscate and deflect from responsibility. you need to not also do that.
slow down. verify. if you can’t verify with absolute certainty, don’t act in a way where getting it wrong would make you the asshole. maybe don’t do anything.
this might mean you get a lot less invested in being angry about a lot fewer things online. but this is almost definitely good for your mental health. you should probably be doing it anyways.
Before AI it was endless unsubstantiated accusations of tracing or theft due to vague resemblances, AI's just changed the acussations but not the patterns.
i think one of the worst parts of having an anxiety disorder is you can know your anxiety is fundamentally unreasonable and does not make any sense. but it doesn't help
oops i changed everything again. worfsbarmitzvah -> whitager -> lostxanadu
i need another jewish system to fall in love with me so bad
”this is the autism website!”
you guys still make fun of people who can’t hold a normal 9-5 job, struggle with phone calls, generally don’t want to or can’t go outside, have not so great reading comprehension, have a hard time making small talk, struggle with picking up on sarcasm, and struggle with getting the joke

something stupid this way sucks
I have been thinking a lot about Abdul Al-Sayed's "Hurt people hurt people" defense of the car ramming of Michigan's Temple Israel. And I just. It is SO dehumanizing of Jews. In that framework, we legitimately are not seen as hurt people. We are seen as dehumanized and objectified military targets.
Because let's break this down. "Hurt people hurt people." So the car rammer is a hurt person. I get that. Putting ideology and world views aside, the loss of family is always traumatic. I have a horrible, horrendous, piece of shit uncle. It will still hurt, in it's own way, when he dies.
But it's the fact that "hurt people hurt people" is ONLY extended to people who -- legitimately or otherwise -- view themselves as victims of the current Israeli government.
But...what about the victims of Arab aggression and colonization and imperialism? What about the Jews violently ethnically cleansed from surrounding Arab countries to the point where there are tons of "The Last Jew in <Insert Arab Country Here>" articles and thinkpieces. Are those Jews not hurt people? Are those Jews not people?
When it comes to I/P, I hear the refrain "Someone needs to stop punching back first" a lot. And in general, I do agree with that. At a certain point, someone gets the last punch and the other party doesn't get to retaliate.
But over the decades, Israeli leadership has time and time again gone "We will take that last punch. If it means we ultimately get to live, we will take that last punch gladly. Just let us live."
And then the rest of the world goes "No, actually, we'd really like to just keep punching you. Only, you keep that promise to not punch back."
And I just...hurt people hurt people, right Dr. Al-Sayed? Or does that only apply to those you see as people?

so in the uk you will be ably to apply to join the army at 17 but not use your phone after 8:30pm. that makes sense
I know that the situation for the midterms right know is Really Fucking Dire, but DON'T STAY HOME if you're eligible to vote please, especially if you're in a swing/purple state.
Trump cheated in the 2020 election but he still lost because enough people turned out against him. Unfortunately he cheated AGAIN in the 2024 election and won but we cannot repeat that scenario again.
Even if you live in a solid red or blue state don't stay home. You have no idea what might happen. They could flip. It's never hopeless.
Republicans are gerrymandering the shit out of us. Don't let them win.

there is a part of me that thinks the way gentiles react to 'goy' and 'goyim' has to do with the way they use 'jew' and 'jews'

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills
where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*
I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".
99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

we’re banning use of the phrase judeo-christian. there truly is no such thing. what people mean is christian interpretation of the old testament and all the ideas and ‘values’ they pushed onto the world for 2 millennia and they’re too lazy to distinguish that from the fundamentally different ethno-religious group christians took the book from in the first place
