LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not.

there is an employment crisis among trans women and there always has been, but good luck getting people to see it
Still living this life after almost 8 months. A professional I know who works almost exclusively with trans people said almost all of them are unemployed.

I'm so fucking tired of men in media.
Overdone. Trite. Hackneyed. Excessive. Unoriginal. Boring. Cliché. Pandering. Lowest-common-denominator algo-chasing mass-market slop.
Enough. No more men in media.

this is literally going to strongarm every queer user into giving info after they declared every single lgbtq+ server to be "adult servers" years ago.
so now it's literally give us your info or lose access to your communities and resources.

2024: Rachel Lense created a Pride flag out of NASA pics.
2025: The incoming presidential administration deleted it.
2026: Ember tracked down the constituent images, rebuilt the composite, and added additional images to update the flag to the more inclusive, current version.

Hey so remember how 90% of documentation for games, modding, using programs are all tied to discord servers and not backed up somewhere? Yeah.

GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has officially started clinical trials! GBP511 is the FIRST vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against MULTIPLE strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks.
