The combination of abusive parents and STEM had done irreversible damage to my brain

Sand pipers running very quickly together as it is their typical behavior. They stick together because they are small but together they are a swarm and swarms can be speedy; it is their greatest trait apart from their uncanny ability to find treats in the sands

"I asked ChatGPT-" okay well I asked one of the skyrim innkeepers, and she told me to slay the dragon at Autumnwatch Tower and then she glitched through the floor and I had to reload a save

It's my cat's birthday (anniversary of me getting him) so I told him the story of his life while petting him real good

Highlights include:

For your first two years (when you were small) you lived in a foster home with people who raised you into a very polite young man. Two is like you plus me, that's what two is.

Some people adopted you before me and they called you Timmy (which is a stupid name) and they returned your ass almost immediately because you were so annoying at that age.

Like think about how annoying you are right now at seven years old, but way worse.

I'm better than them though, I don't call you Timmy and I wore earplugs to bed for three years because you love to scream at bedtime. Earplugs are like when I roll over and go back to sleep even when you are yelling so so so loud.

I got you at a time in my life when I was really sick (being sick is like when I'm up late because I'm throwing up and you are a very handsome good boy who sits with me) and they had to put me asleep for a procedure. A procedure is like what happened to you when they put you asleep and took your balls away.

Now you've lived with me for five years. Five is like the number of toe beans on one of your feet. When I clip your nails five is when we're halfway done. But we're hopefully not even halfway done with how long we get to be together. I'm gonna have to figure out new ways to help you count.

Would you consider yourself a good person?

If by 'good' you mean someone who's good at woodworking, and if by 'person' you mean a person who works at a sawmill, then no.

everything you see on tumblr is biased towards the perspectives of the types of people who post a lot on tumblr. this is essential to remember

21st-century-minutiae

Selection bias is a drift in statistical results as a result of sampling mechanisms, to the point that the selected population no longer effectively correlates with the larger population against which an inference may be erroneously made.

As pointed above, it is erroneous to assume opinions visible on a website such of this are representative of how humans think.

There are a large number of selection steps which bias the results.

Opinions are only from people who are currently alive. Those of the past and future are unable to have their opinions heard directly.

All opinions visible on Tumblr are from people who are aware of Tumblr and chose to use it in a language that is mutual with the viewer. Vast swaths of humanity are unaware or uncaring of the website, or are communicating in a different language.

All opinions visible on Tumblr come from the subset of users who post them. As with many websites, a large portion of users exclusively lurk or reblog, rather than share their own opinions. Only a certain subset seeks to have their thoughts known.

All opinions visible are those that have been judged worth sharing. Individuals may self-censor or find their own opinions too boring to be worth conveying.

For an opinion to be visible on Tumblr, it must either come from the subset of individuals that a user has chosen to follow (a curated group), be reposted by said curated group, be tagged with a tag a user follows, or be amplified by enough people to attract general attention by a given individual. This introduces a bias towards opinions that one's curated groups believe or choose to amplify, opinions that match a tag a user curates for themselves, or opinions that are amplified.

It would be a fallacy to believe that after all these non-random selection phases, any remaining opinion one sees is representative of humanity at large.

But one can make non-erroneous judgements such as "this is an opinion that exists in humanity" or "this is an opinion shared by this particular subculture on this website."

In the early twenty-first century, even when aware of Selection Bias, many people do not always remember to apply it in their assessments. It is a common problem for people to forget that the information available to them is curated, either by their own efforts of via the effort of other parties/algorithms.

The light inside an oven is crucial to getting breads to rise. Without the light inside simulating the sun, the bread can't tell which way is up, leaving it twisted and ruined.
