“I asked chatgpt” well I asked Ronald Speirs and he said you know why you hid in that ditch, Blithe? We’re all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there’s still hope, but Blithe, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you’re already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function. Without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.

before criticizing a woman for something, ask yourself how many men you've criticized for that (if applicable, ofc). proactively fight against the creation of a double standard in your mind, where women are held to standards that men are free from, or where the standard for men is much more lenient.

you'll start to see that (for example) what is considered polite behavior from a man isn't good enough to be considered polite behavior from a woman. everyone knows that for men, the bar is in the ground, but no one mentions that the one for women is in the sky.

My Turn: Why I'm Not Interested in AI for Writing

Ok, software and websites. You can stop asking if I want to use AI when writing. I don't. I never will. I get that a lot of people have invested a great deal of money in it (mostly, it seems, to allow the rich to approximate skill without paying for it), but I'm just not interested in participating. Sure, it's unethical, unsustainable, and harmful to the environment. But those aren't even my main reasons. And, yeah, it was trained on my published works without my consent, but again, not my primary objection. It's also lazy and antithetical to my goal of continuing to develop my writing skill and creativity, but that's not the biggest issue either. Mostly, the problem is that it is a crass, empty automated circumvention of life and human experience designed to imitate and masquerade as both. So, not only is it essentially the opposite of art (art being personal effort expended to connect us through intentional, crafted expression of individual human experience), but worse, it is engineered to impersonate a perspective detached from a living person. It has no perspective. It has no accountability. It is a mimicry of human acts of creation and expression, a sophisticated parlor trick of pattern recognition, that cannot connect us to anyone (because it has no perspective or life experience with which to connect). I'm not saying AI has no good applications. But writing? Art? I guess AI makes sense if your concept of writing or art is mostly as a "product" or "content" divorced from the foundations of why humans give a shit about art and writing in the first place. So, mostly, I think it's gross and kinda sad. It's like seeing a toddler turn away from her mother to focus on hugging a mannequin. It's like seeing a gardener spending his limited life-minutes whistling and watering plastic flowers. It's like waking early to take your toaster to witness a sunrise. Also... if I may... these companies have spent billions to build a plastic facade of what I do. I don't need it. I'm the real thing.

Doubt (2008) — dir. John Patrick Shanley

mossghoul

You’re not an ally to women if you think any woman is stupid for being abused by a man. This includes sentiments like: ‘How could she fall for that?’ ‘Why didn’t she just leave?’ ‘Why is she letting herself be degraded?’ ‘She must have known about his behaviour. Women always know’ ‘Women should know better then partnering with men’ ‘why did she think she could change him?’ and on and on.

Sure, maybe a would-be abuser wouldn’t be able to weaponise a certain approach to trap you - maybe because you wouldn’t allow yourself to be in that circumstance to start with, maybe because you’d recognise the approach for what it was.

That doesn’t mean you’re ‘too smart’ to be trapped by any form of of abuse. Anyone can be abused, everyone has traits or thought patterns that can be honed in on and exploited if an abusive person is truly dedicated to the task.

You’re no smarter than a woman who has been victimised, purely because you haven’t yet or because her particular vulnerabilities look different to yours.

this video is genuinely incredible - the framing, the sunset, the single street light, the sound of traffic and cicadas in the background, the video of the sign capture imperfectly by (presumably) a phone camera. it’s a work of art and a perfect encapsulation of 21st century america

I understand that we're all mourning the death of public third spaces and feeling nostalgic for how things were in the 80s or whatever, but in terms of lost treasures of the past, I feel like people are losing sight of the fact that the go-to hangout spot being a shopping center/"mall" was already a pretty bleak expression of how (especially US) culture revolved around capitalist consumerism? Even before they started to ban teenagers from existing there.

Idk whenever I see a nostalgic aesthetic post venerating the lost magic of a shopping multiplex I just imagine in 30 years time people going "these were the good times... What we lost" and then just posting a screenshot of the Amazon.com homepage, pffff

When we rebuild society I feel like we should try to make the social centerpieces/hangout spots like, parks, and entertainment/community/leisure centers, rather than money extraction complexes
