Your best is not the same as your 100%. It's okay to give as much as you CAN not as much as is humanly possible. Giving 100% all the time just leads to burn out.

No bond stronger than a disabled girl and her disabled cat

[wilde-foxgloves]

(images depict a comic. the panels are as follows:

Panel one: "HARD TO LOVE" simple drawing of a cat curled up on a cane "DISABILITY AND CATS"

Panel two: "SOMETIMES, I THINK I'M HARD TO LOVE" drawing of a person with shortish hair sitting on the ground facing away from the viewer "MY BODY DOESN'T WORK LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO"

Panel three: drawing of the same person hunched over what looks like maybe a calendar with their head in their hand and question marks over their head "I FORGET THINGS" "I MOVE SLOW" drawing of the same person walking with a bag and a cane. Drawing of the same person hunched over to grab something off the floor with their hand on their back and lines indicating pain coming off of them "IT HURTS TO DO THINGS MOST PEOPLE DO EASILY"

Panel four: "MY CAT'S BODY ALSO DOESN'T WORK LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO" drawing of a cat with part of one ear missing sitting up and looking at the viewer

Panel five: "HE DOESN'T REMEMBER THINGS" Drawing of the same cat looking at the ground with question marks over his head indicating confusion with what looks like a food bowl in the background. I think this is meant to be the cat having trouble finding the food bowl. Drawing of the same cat falling gracelessly on his face. "HE'S CLUMSY" "HE CAN'T DO THINGS THAT OTHER CATS CAN DO" drawing of the same cat stretching up towards what looks like a counter. I think this is meant to be the cat having trouble getting up on to the counter.

Panel six: "AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH" drawing of the person holding the cat up, touching their faces together. there is a heart symbol above their heads likely indicating fondness, affection, or love

Panel seven: "SO MAYBE" drawing of the person with the cat in their lap, petting him, facing the viewer this time "IT'S NOT TOO HARD TO LOVE ME"

end of description, that is all of the panels)

I needed this today- as someone with both narcolepsy and fibromyalgia, I forget things all the time and I’ve been dealing with a flare for the past two months that only recently improved. It’s hard to love yourself or see yourself as lovable when you feel so broken.

Lmao we have to fucking destroy this company are you fucking kidding me with this shit

Google Search as you know it is over | TechCrunch

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and

[probablysomethingtm]

Remember that xkcd about how Google searches are shit now? What if we made them even worse for no reason?

[probablysomethingtm]

I will vote for any candidate who promises to go scorched fucking earth on every tech company. Break every single one of them up into companies based around a single product and then split those in thirds. Weaponize existing antitrust laws to the hilt and pass the most draconian versions of them ever seen on this planet. Nationalize google search specifically. Pass consumer privacy protections strict enough to kill the data harvesting industry for good. Make all of these fuckers go bankrupt for this rent-seeking shit

video games aren’t meant to be played with other people. video games are meant to be played alone in a dark room at night time while you work through weird feelings about your gender.

using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold

idc what you guys think I'm proud of him

[astronomical-bagel]

Several AI services (chatbots 🫩) are purposely addictive, the same way people can become addicted to gambling or shopping. We’ve literally seen in real time how ChatGPT has caused psychosis and delusions in people; it can have a huge affect on someones’s mental stability. Just because it isn’t substance-based doesn’t mean that doesn’t count as an addiction, and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive. Im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark!

Hidden Mental Health Dangers of Artificial Intelligence Chatbots

AI chatbots can fuel emotional dependence and blur boundaries. Emerging research highlights significant mental health risks. Here are import

The reality of chatbot-induced delusions

Large language models often prioritise agreeability over truthfulness to the detriment of users

AI addiction includes the overuse of AI chatbots and companions, often leading to adverse psychological effects.

Some articles to back my statements, and this isn’t even mentioning about the predatory chatbots who do this on purpose

[oh-morrow]

Then I'll mention the predatory chatbots who do it on purpose! Character.ai is one of many AI chatbot websites that're designed to be addictive.

None of the signup methods require a password. It only takes email and birthday. Minimizing time on the signin or signup screen makes it harder for people quitting to avoid relapse.

"Characters" on the website will send messages "on their own" (prompted by the site) to try to invite inactive users back after as soon as 1 day of inactivity. This is likely to force FOMO, or make users feel more like they owe the bots a response. Unhealthy attachment stuff.

Account deletion is an essential part of every service that should go smoothly, right? Right? Wrong. It takes 1-2 weeks for a Character AI account deletion to be finalized, and account deletion requests have a high chance to not go through if you're not using the app.

Rephrasing: People leaving Character.AI are pushed to download the app in order to delete their accounts, if they haven't already. This makes it harder for people to quit and stay gone. Failing to quit an addiction makes it harder to quit successfully in the future, so this feels like a feature, not a bug. On top of that, the delete account menu reads like this:

Tell me THAT doesn't sound like a bad ex. It's a carefully crafted yet hostile environment to those who are already addicted to the technology. I am so so SO happy, downright delighted that they've managed to quit, and I wish the best for others in recovery spaces or considering quitting as well!! While AI addiction is an emerging condition, there are already therapists and other mental health professionals trained to help people plan to quit and do so a bit easier. (If anyone seeing this is in need of them, there are several tumblr Communities here devoted to quitting, too. They provide a mix of advice, venting spaces, and proof that you aren't alone.)

[anachrosims]

y'all better not let me catch any of you shitting on people who are genuinely trying to stay away from AI after becoming addicted to it. I don't want to see selective empathy (like usual) from the Left with y'all preaching about forgiveness and giving people the space to change with one hand, and casting stones with the other.

we're a quarter of the way through the 21st century, let's try to act like it, OK?

to folks who are quitting AI: I'm proud of you. every little bit of humanity you have is worth fighting for from your pinky toe to the hairs on your head. hang in there ❤️
