🇮🇪 i probably play too much video games
the rate at which i come across things irl that would ruin my immersion in a fiction book just hurts my brain.

"sure, they just stopped teaching math because black kids were struggling"
"ya buddy, a modern country would basically just stop teaching their children how to read, cmon be real rn"

(i still go vote, and vote for "lets make small incremental changes" parties, because the USA, and UK, and historical "radical" parties, have shown that "lets change it up" can lead to just breaking shit for no good reason) 3/3

that whoever ends ups getting elected doesnt really matter that much, since the bureaucracy just shuffles along following procedure.

upside is less chaos and corruption, downside is radical change is hard and you can end up stuck just increasing spending without fixing underlying issues 2/x

his "idea" maps onto (one of) the big issues in irish politics rn (and apply to other european social democracies).

The civil service, semi-states, contracting, NGOs, consultants, have all grown so influential through reforms (usually brought in after economic collapse or corruption scandal) 1/x

also, how they do explain why no company has simply copied these shoes, using the same materials and human inputs (plus modern inventions!!!), to make them for the market.

like surely if making $50 midrange leather repairable shoes was so easy, someone wouldve made their millions doing it by now

upon further research (google), goddamn eggs are a powerhouse food with much lower low emissions/environmental impact then i expected

i might have to start having a boiled egg for breakfast
November 11, 2025 at 11:21 AM
(reading back i mentioned eggs, they are probably fine, idk i just dont like them lol)
November 11, 2025 at 11:13 AM
i will break my own rules and eat meat products, but only if its a cultural dish that i want to eat, or if its already cooked food that will otherwise get dumped (this comes up maybe once every month or 2?)
November 11, 2025 at 11:03 AM
i personally ended up on:

eating most fish/shellfish is fine

chicken is probably fine

no other meat, eggs, or dairy

products that use "leftovers", like whey, are probably fine, and honestly its way too much effort to cut all those out

this gets me like 90% of the benefits for 10% of the effort

at least the USA or even UK were relatively rich countries.

i see people RETVRN post about pre-1990s Ireland and i want to run headfirst into a wall

i think the law would probably come down on them like a ton of bricks (and rightfully so). these stories are so egregious that idc if rule changes temporarily make these LLMs legally unfeasible, if OpenAI knew there "products" could do this, higher-ups should be in jail, facing down long sentences.
November 9, 2025 at 5:00 PM
idk at least for now, these LLMs need to be treated as extensions of their corporations, as if they were a human employee. (idk the exact law or right words here but) if a human employee of OpenAI, acting on behalf of OpenAI, on orders from their boss, acted like CtatGPT did in the Raine case 1/x
November 9, 2025 at 5:00 PM
i just take bascially every "far-X" politician (left and right, but more often right-wing rn) at there word.

every time a private group chat leaks, or behind closed doors meeting is recorded, they are nearly always saying the exact same stuff publicly as they do privately.
November 7, 2025 at 9:07 PM
hey buddy you find some good words that rhyme with ireland AND fits in a marching song for soldiers if its so easy :)

(i really like english version lol idk why)

once democrats win back control of the federal government please Operation Enduring Freedom my entire continent
November 5, 2025 at 10:07 PM
and i dont think x-men style media/ideas are useful in that pushing that concept.

i am actually going to sleep now (actually for real this time)
November 1, 2025 at 2:57 AM
sure, w/e, i am not getting this heated about fucking x-men discourse.

i believe that the most successful strategy is to push the idea that everyone is fundamentally the same and should all be treated equality, that we are all the same flesh and blood, and 1/2
November 1, 2025 at 2:57 AM
???

um i absolutely do, thats a fucked up thing to just throw at me because of a disagreement that started over xmen and moved onto to civil rights strategy.

like actually wtf
November 1, 2025 at 2:40 AM
ok i am dropping out of this convo, we just see things very differently and i dont think a protracted bluesky thread is gonna change either of our minds.

also it 2:30am i wanna go to sleep lol
November 1, 2025 at 2:35 AM
it was nice old people on tv talking about how they want to see their middle aged child get married, and advocates pushing "just let people do their own thing, why should the state be in my bed"

also often legal rulings by the state own judges saying "these rules violate equality laws, no more"
November 1, 2025 at 2:22 AM
"live and let live, we arent hurting anyone, its about individual freedom, we are the exact same as yo" has been an incredibly effective civil rights campaign for the past 30 or so years.

gay marriage in the west wasnt under threat of violence,

my "Trump II learnings" were about the idea that there is a deeper undercurrent to hatred of LGBT people.

the same way that biden failed (and now starmer in the UK is) by trying to economic prosperity deliverism people out of racism, a lot of people hate gay/trans people for no deep "real" reason
November 1, 2025 at 2:10 AM
idk Trump II has put me off this kinda thinking. maybe for a small minority its a deeper idea, or deep down its why people are anti gay, but for most i think its just legit

"gay people are disgusting / they are against god, society will collapse and people will marry dogs if we let them be around"
November 1, 2025 at 1:35 AM
i mean how i am even meant to respond to this.

like ya i know that, doesnt change my view.
November 1, 2025 at 1:07 AM
conservatives fears that gay marriage would lead to marrying animals and society collapsing into Sodom and Gomorrah is in no way based in truth, completely made up in there heads.

idk maybe i just amnt following what your trying to say.
