i have had to find other ways of framing this to get people to respect my boundaries around gen AI, but what i really want to say is: do not pollute me spiritually
There are plenty of other terrible things about generative AI but overall my objection to it is spiritual and I just can’t really get into arguments about that. That objection doesn’t extend to every use case for it, but as far as generating anything “imaginative”, those are all graven images to me

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls
1 reason why I get so angry at anti-trans "safety in women's sports" people is NONE of them do SHIT or say ANYTHING about actual safety in womens sport. There are ongoing histories and challenges and abuses in sport, and folks are more than welcome to pay attention, and give a damn. But they don't.

The Commonwealth Prac Payment (CPP) for *eligible social work students* is $338.60 per week
A masters of social work requires 1000 hours of placement. 26 weeks full time. At $338.60 p/week?

The PhD stipend is higher and is still below the poverty line. I kinda just assumed all placements would get the same as the PhD stipend…$650ish/week. But then honours students who basically do a 9 month FT placement still get nothing ensuring we enrich academia for rich folks

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Dude, "seppos" is an extremely toxic term. The term exists to suggest an entire nation of 350m plus people are shit and belong in a septic tank.
Don't use it. It's comparable to racism, while not so about "race" meaning ethnicity, it IS name-calling / discrimination based on "cultural identity".

Robodebt, as everyone knows, was found unlawful in the Federal Court following a grassroots legal campaign spanning many years. Her job was to implement the orders to wind it up. What she did instead, as the Royal Commission found, was to spend several months working on ways to AVOID doing this.

Renee Leon did nothing to reveal the scheme's unlawfulness, and deserved to lose her job. She is one of the authors of the Targeted Compliance Framework, which has unlawfully cancelled welfare payments to hundreds of thousands. If Kathryn Campbell deserves no place in public life, neither does Leon.
