I once had a girlfriend who HATED all my female friends. It was to the point that she would constantly accuse me of cheating on her, for pretty much any reason. Finishing uni/work late, bumping into friends on my way back, being on my phone, wanting to go out, wanting to stay in, etc. Anything could and would set her off, to the point that she didn't want me working certain shifts if there was a girl with me.

It sounds dumb to say now, but I had no idea what was actually happening. I would try to reassure her that she was the only one I wanted to be with, and she would say she's been cheated on before so she's just paranoid. So I'd be understanding, let it go, and a day later it would happen all over again.

There was also loads of other little things, here and there. She'd mock me, try and convince me that my friends didn't like me, deliberately try and embarrass me in front of people, call me gay if I didn't want to have sex exactly when she wanted it, start arguments for the slightest thing, etc.

She never hit me, but there were so many times that I ended up sat in a corner, crying, trying to figure out what I'd done wrong.

I finally realised what she was doing when she tried driving a wedge between me and my family. If she'd managed it, I'd have ended cut off from everyone I knew and cared about.

She didn't, we broke up, and I was able to start putting myself and some of my friendships back together.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all bad. That's why I stayed so long. Every time I felt like I should end it, she would become the sweet, kind girl I fell in love with. It never lasted.

So yes, let's talk about abuse. The more people are aware of the methods they use, the easier it is to spot. And if you're staying in the hope they become that sweet, kind person again, I can honestly tell you that they won't. It's a tool to keep you in their grip. Get out, before you lose yourself.

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

My latest cartoon for New Scientist

To be clear, this isn't a bit. This is what they actually did. "Its too late" is the new "Climate change isn't real"... And its still a lie!

Every serious climate scientist agrees that there is no such as thing as too late, just as there is no such thing as too early. We should have done a lot more than we have to fight climate change, and the world will suffer for our inaction, but there is no point of no return. We can always work to reduce the amount of suffering that occurs, and eventually turn things around to the point where our planet is healing once again. Do not believe anyone who says it's "too late".

I haven’t posted on this blog in 6 years but felt I needed to come on here today. I feel devastated by this, as I am sure many of you are feeling this way too. Always knew this one would hurt, Rest in Peace, our Watcher ♥️

As someone who collects a LOT of physical media but doesn’t make a lot of money, I want to share the rule that keeps my wallet from crying out in despair every time I enter a store. I don’t remember who I got this from, but thank you whoever you are because it has been a game-changer when it comes to building a large collection without breaking the bank.

The $1 per hour rule. It’s exactly what it says on the tin. If I’m purchasing physical media, I consider it good value if I can expect to get at least one hour of enjoyment for every dollar I spend on it.

I don’t remember what I spent on BG3, but I know it was a good deal because I’ve logged 600 hours in it. Hades II costs $30, and I was more than happy to pay that because I know I’ll play it for at least 30 hours. When I add books to my library, I almost exclusively buy used books that cost under $5 because 5 hours is a good average estimate for how long it takes me to finish a novel.

Will there be a treat you splurge on every now and then? Of course, but $1 per hour is a good standard to stick to if you want to responsibly build a dragon's hoard of physical media.

This is a way better way of expressing it than I've seen before. It's mathy, it's clear, it's easy to remember.

Anyway we took way longer to say something similar in this one: Ask the Bitches: How Can I Absolve Myself of Financial Guilt Over My Pricey PS4?
