being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

Hey, real talk though? If you're in the USA, right now you need to call your representatives. 11.8 million people could lose health insurance because of this, as well as a lot of other shit going down, so speak up.

Go to 5calls.org, put in your location, and make the calls. Do it after business hours if you're worried about actually to a person, but do it.

We're running out of chances with this, please please do this now, while it's still possible to stop this.

Due to the amendments made, this is going back to the House to be voted on again, so yes, you should still call them.

I'm not great at talking to people, and I can't express enough just how easy 5calls makes this process. The longest call I've had with them took 3 minutes. That's it.

presidential debate between someone claiming that there's an epidemic of haitian immigrants eating dogs and that doctors are performing transgender surgeries on illegal aliens (?) vs. the moderate progressive who repeatedly affirms her support of fracking and her intent to send infinite weaponry to israel forever... folks can we start burning down buildings

[rescue-satellite]

For the people in the notes complaining about Harris’s moderate takes, you obviously don’t understand or care about the stakes if Trump wins. I don’t like Harris. It’s appalling that her and Bidens administration keep sending weapons to Israel, and there is blood on their hands. They deserve to be criticized and never see the power of office again. It’s ridiculous that Harris changed her stance on fracking, amongst other things.

But this is the campaign, and the real fucking world. We have two parties that are real contenders for office, two choices. And they are not equal. Trump doesn’t care about climate change, he wants big businesses to rule the world, and watch everything burn while he rules over an empire of dirt. Other countries fear his presidency because he will use his power with impunity and he will fucking destroy the world!!

I don’t like Harris, but this isn’t a personality contest. She’s not banning fracking because we have jobs and infrastructure that rely on it. However, she is going to take steps to expand clean energy so one day we can ban fracking! She’s still likely going to send weapons to Israel, and there is no justification for that. It’s sickening. But she also has acknowledged the need for a two state solution.

What will Trump do if he enters office? He’ll “finish the job” in Gaza. He’ll give tax breaks to corporations that poison our earth. He’ll deport millions, separate families, build more prisons than schools, cut healthcare and education funding.

I would love it if Harris decided to do all of the liberal shit I believe in, but right now, she is the only option to keep this country from going to the dogs. I don’t like it, I don’t expect you to. But there is one option only. Fucking vote blue or people will suffer.

This is not a morality game. Peoples lives are on the line. You don’t get to smugly watch and withhold your vote or vote third party because that only gives power to Trump and his people. Fucking grow up and acknowledge the world you live in.

Vote for Harris.

this post reminded me of this ~scenario~ that happens to me and other fat folks quite often! thin folks that are our friends, support fat folks, but haven’t quite had the time or chance or willingness to unlearn fatphobic ideas in relation to themselves. we know you still think of fatness as inherently unhealthy and unattractive, work on it ♥

Is the recommendation "it's queer!" compelling to you when it comes to media?

Yes, it makes me MORE likely to seek out the recommended media

No, it makes me LESS likely to seek out the recommended media

No, the recommendation doesn't influence my choice of media either way
