This made me laugh so hard I had to turn off my camera in a Zoom meeting

A tweet by Thomas White reading

Republicans: We need another civil war right now.
Democrats: Girl you gotta VOTE for it then
Nelly if he was a bullfrog: If you wanna come and eat a fly with me, swim around in the pond when we're frisky, oh why do I love this lake (Hey!
Bugs in my tummy!)

You are just as capable now, if not even moreso, of learning completely new things and appreciating new experiences as you were ten years ago. You will look back with regret at every shit you ever took before you bought one of those $25 bidet attachments for your toilet. Real regret. Every shit.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

It can be slightly annoying to set up but that’s the exact sort of thing that Stremio+Torrentio is great for

Like I saw somebody swing from warning about falling into racist traps to comparing Meta Llama to beautiful flowers what is going on

I can’t think of anything stupider than the “heads up nazis are transparently saying nazi shit with this new verbiage” and the “chat gpt is real and should be treated like my beautiful wife” folks getting mixed up together

I was kind of surprised to see a “if you imagine somebody saying something totally different using words that I selected about an unrelated subject, I’m right” take outside of hacker news comments and then I saw she’s an engineer at bluesky lmao

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok

i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

I think when they say “not a real person” they’re talking about the computer. Your point is “if I look at my phone and decide that it is my son you are doing eugenics to correct me”

Like nobody is forcing Jay to endure the harassment (asking her to enforce the tos) on this microblogging site. There is a whole other microblogging website where having cute little inside jokes with Jesse Singal get you high fives. Why toil building paradise when what you seek is across the street

Wait are Canadians blocked from calling c-span? We share +1 so I guess they could block area codes?
