Are you tired of being repressed? Don't you just want to reaffirm the urge to life?

Notably the latter was the dynamic in basically every lesbian-feminist community that banned trans women. Outright TERFs were always a minority but almost always got what they wanted because apathetic cisfem bystanders reliably broke with them when pressed
tbh what's the actual difference between "most cis people fucking despise trans people" and "most cis people tolerate us, its just the small minority dominating the system rn that despise trans people" when in the latter those cis people tolerating us do nothing to stop the sword coming down on us

I don't care that Musk does drugs. I care that he gets to have a life, a career, not have to piss in cup, not have to worry about the police breaking his bones or ending his life while saying "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO DRUG" to bystanders, have a family, have good publicity, and be respected

The crusty linux men can be pretty shitty sometimes but people are often just mad they got "RTFM" as their troubleshooting advice (it's good advice, sorry)
you are a silkworm grub suckling on the bosom of American advertisement if crusty linux men keep you from giving up the adolf hitler reality technology

When I was 3 years old I figured out how to use the VCR just so that I could watch Yellow Submarine on VHS. Having rewatched it (the VHS cut specifically) recently I found it really striking what a beautiful work of art that whole movie is
I know it’s fun to hate on the Beatles but that stuff is good sorry.

PSA: Wikipedia page on "Repressed
Memory"
Is it just me, or does the Wikipedia page on "Repressed Memory" seem to be extremely biased?
I realize the subject is controversial, and that it might be appropriate for the content to lean to the more conservative side, but I can't help but feel a lot of new research is left out.
I do realize anyone can edit this page, and when I am in a better place I will do that. But since this issue affects a lot of us, and since some of you may have a better handle on all the research, I thought it was worth mentioning.
Honestly, I feel like a lot of people probably go to that page looking for help, but probably end up disappointing because the bias leads it to be about as invalidating as it possibly could be!

So cool how the wikipedia article for "repressed memory" is like 90% child abuse apologism and the talk page is just wikipedia editors reacting with total obtuseness to people pointing this out

I wonder if the epstein files leaking has made people any more receptive to my view that if you seriously set out to solve the problem of child abuse in our society you will necessarily be solving every other social ill as well
I feel like at some point we're going to need to acknowledge that the computer literacy crisis is caused almost entirely by prioritizing controlling what kids are allowed to do on the computer over teaching them how the computer works
we don't talk enough about the damage that widespread chromebook adoption by schools has done to computer literacy in children

You can't hate someone who hurts a kid enough to ever heal that kid—sorry. You have to deal with the fact that you're surrounded by people who abuse kids with impunity. It's the reproduction of *rape culture* which disempowers and isolates children you have to fix. Sanctimony is part of rape culture
I don't think how upset bystanders are matters for the sake of victims. In fact—when bystanders exaggerate their own feelings and their impulses to act on them, they make it harder for victims to be heard. Abuse does not make people infinitely damaged goods. Victims need to be heard and to be healed

I've always found the "you're valid" stuff strange because it seems to implicitly reference yet not actually articulate some system for determining validity. "Valid" according to what, exactly? Is it just ill-defined in-group dogma? Or universal tautology? Is everything "valid"?
It is kinda hard to take people seriously when the objection to centering entitlement to transition resources in the concept of trans people as a political class is met with the liberal idealism of "it is valid for a trans woman to identify as a cis woman"
sorry—the struggle sessions WILL continue.

I spend a lot of time helping people not die. I haven't helped THAT many people but more than one. I've taught people and fed people and talked to people and waited with them, and I guess you gotta understand how much love I have for everything, so I do whatever I can with what I have.

The Situationists called this "survival sickness", the tendency for capitalist alienation to reduce living to surviving until survival itself becomes unbearable
Captain: "I can’t just sit here and do nothing. That’s all I’ve ever done! That’s all anyone on this blasted ship has ever done. Nothing!"
AUTO: "On the Axiom, you will survive."
Captain: "I don’t want to survive. I want to live."

There's a sort of eschatology to dec/acc: be one of the Powerful People who causes The Collapse and you'll be rewarded in the Post-Collapse with your own company town the size of a small country and as many robot butlers and soldiers as you need to hold power and live in luxury Forever
Essentially if you collapse the state and the economy on purpose, then you're planning on replacing it with something. Anyone pushing LLMs is accepting that if they're successful, our current economic model implodes because it jettisons major economy segments and replaces them with nothing.

Thinking about when I was learning about analog computing years ago and saw all the equations I'd been using to describe circuits instead treated as the programs for them to evaluate. Everything around us is information being manipulated, physics and computing are just two sides of the same coin
it’s precisely because consciousness and life is there when you look at anything that we can say it is transcendent and because consciousness and life is something we carry with us that we can say it is immanent. a microchip is one of the most intricate things in the world—brains made little sisters
