reinstalled shinigami eyes to take a look at the damage and it's so much worse than a year or so ago when i deleted it. virtually every intersex blog i know of regardless of how they feel about tme/tma is marked red unless they are especially vocal about liking it, countless trans men are marked red regardless of whether they are vocally inclusive, most who are marked green are either famous guys or are (somewhat) infamous for their transphobia and exorsexism if not also racism.
Plenty of transphobic cis folks are green. Virtually every trans-positivity account is red except for the ones who are unapologetically transphobic to at least part of the community. Countless trans women who vocally uses the term transandrophobia are marked red. Several trans women who dont even use the term but have at least on one occasion defended or sympathized with trans men are red. Several trans women who are bigender/NB/Etc with inclusion of any "male" or masc terms are red regardless of whether they seem to have anything to say about trans men.
It is BLEAK. I've been trying to remove reds and greens as I assess, but it is really really gross that it was a pretty well-known soft rule a decade plus ago that you didn't mark trans people red at all even if they were shitheads, unless they were actual proud terfs, because the flagging was guaranteed to isolate them from community.
Inability to assess risk and a total aversion to narratives that contradict what you assume to be the case for others is getting people into a lot of trouble.
Shinigami eyes is completely dead and less than useless, but since so many people still seem to trust it, I do not want people to keep getting flagged as violent evil transphobes cause they started identifying as genderqueer.
yeah like rn i'm leaning towards either SOMA theory or the fact that the digital circus players' bodies are probably dead by now but like. can you imagine if they weren't. if, like, their bodies just got zapped into the computer with them or someshit. like imagine one day a group of ~6 people bust out of an old abandoned building screaming "WHAT YEAR IS IT" and when the authorities check them out they realize that they're perfect DNA matches to these people who disappeared, except several of them disappeared DECADES ago and they're somehow the exact same age they were when they disappeared. and all of their stories are exactly the same, they got sucked into a fucking video game but nobody can double-check this because they fucking murdered the AI running it and then probably smashed the computer console when they got out for good measure. every now and again they do something stupid and dangerous and say some shit like "oh yeah i forgot we don't operate on cartoon logic anymore." one of them saw a picture of a gummy crocodile and is crying. dude this would be the biggest news story of the year like nobody would be able to talk about anything else
staying up until 1am with your friends is like. wow we’re so fucking cool we’re so fucking badass we should go on a road trip or become famous or maybe hang out here forever because i dont wanna be anywhere that isnt with you guys im so full of love and joy and a live fast die young mentality. and staying up until 1am by yourself is like. for the third time this year i am genuinely contemplating suicide. good thing i dont have the executive function to clean up my room
hobbies should not take up this much space. there ought to be a hobby pocket dimension, where I am able to store everything I need in a breadbox that weighs no more than my cat.
It's striking how much mental health advice directed at kids and teenagers boils down to saying "you have to be okay with people treating you like you're not fully human because they're right, but it's okay because one day you will be human", then being genuinely surprised when it doesn't help.
The Oregon data center situation is a really good example of how anti-ai sentiment on this website has such a totality over the average users mind that they don't understand articles put in front of them. People on this website will refuse to understand actual situations that are happening because they want to be more mad at AI.
Amazon data centers constructed in eastern Oregon's farmland have worsened a water pollution problem that’s been linked to cancer and miscar
The article again for people who missed it but to summarize the issue
>a rapid boom of agriculture in an otherwise arid and less than optimally fertile region has resulted in a ton of water pollution from the fertilizers necessary to keep the agricultural industry there profitable
>the people in charge of cleaning the water struck a deal with the agricultural farms that they would provide polluted water for them to spray over their crops as a way to cut down on fertilizer costs
>this polluted water then re-enters the water table, and this is particularly drastic for winter spraying where there is no crops to absorb the extra nitrates
>the reservoir and water tables at this point are so intensely polluted that there isn't clean water left
>enter Amazon
>amazon uses water to cool off their data centers
>normally this would not be a problem. data centers do not "pollute" the water they intake
>however, since hot water tends to evaporate somewhat, this results in any pollutants already in the water to become more concentrated
>because the water table is already so polluted, Amazon can't source clean water and must use nitrate polluted water for their data centers
>this causes a discharge of more nitrate concentrated water which is putting additional stress on the waste water systems and requiring more spraying
>data centers are not causing the problems but are exacerbating it
>these data centers have been in the area for over a decade, because data centers are used for more than AI
>the presence in agriculture, the data centers, and the waste water solution were all orchestrated by about five to seven members of government all working together to make as much money as possible in a bunch of nakedly corrupt moves
>this includes the waste water treatment body blackmailing the state government to let them continue to do winter sprays or they'll dump their nitrate polluted water into the water system
>all the while this has resulted in a bunch of health complications such as cancers and miscarriages
>the people trying to expose this are being targeted both by government and by under the table actors
>the whole situation is fucked and the state government isn't moving to actualyl fix it
This is a very complicated situation. Here is what the average tumblr users knows about it
>AI data centers cause cancer
do you see? do you see why this pisses me off? do you see why I said that I think anti-AI sentiment is going in the wrong place? Stopping AI will not stop this situation or make it better.
The electric eel at my aquarium has a voltmeter attached to his tank, and whenever he pumps out a burst of electricity–either when he’s navigating his tank or getting fed–the meter lights up and makes noise. Sometimes, I’ll walk past him when he’s snuggled up and totally motionless on his log, and see the voltmeter going crazy.
I am left to assume that he is dreaming, and is sleep-zapping at the things in his dreams.
