Thank you for helping us punish the cancer that has grown over our entire nation… I wish we could just become part of Canada ;~;

Wasn’t banishing anonymous communication literally what the bad guys in Mirror’s Edge did? And facilitating that anonymous communication was literally the entire livelihood of the protagonist’s faction?

Trans-Inclusive Radical Misogyny

The call of the void…

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

The brain runs predictive models like this as a diagnostic self-check. The fact that you react with disgust and disdain to its hypothetical presentation means you are functioning within operational parameters. Ideally, one might still have sufficient agency and executive function to recognize it’s NOT okay if you DON’T recoil in revulsion from these ideations. Like, when I checked myself into a psych ward 11 years ago after recognizing “Wait, picturing killing myself started feeling GOOD? Uh oh…”

I love seeing Celeste referenced casually in conversation <3 Lemmy fuckin rules

The brain has chemical issues that do stuff against our will.

When your leg gets a cramp, you aren’t doing that.

It’s doing stuff that we don’t want.

We are DESPERATE TO STOP IT, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS, NO MATTER WHAT WE DO.

Of COURSE it doesn’t feel like it’s us. We exist in spite of the substrate upon which we exist.

We are no more our brains than we are the dirt our bodies live on–and those who DO believe that soil == personal identity are literally fascists so let’s not even pretend to entertain that fucking bullshit.

Feeling this right now.

ID verification won’t protect anyone from rapists like him.

But it just might protect PREDATORS from CONSEQUENCES by suppressing public knowledge of their crimes.

Jesus fucking Christ we need to riot.

There are video deepfake systems that can animate these fictional faces. We need a catalogue of the kinds of facial positions these systems ask for

not sure if this is
getting a craving and not satiating it because ‘i’ll get to it later’ and also ‘oh no the place is closed because i wasted too much time’ and it’ll stick to me for weeks…
or
getting a shit ton of the same thing and eating it every day because it’s my favorite thing right now

but i have been through both.

Damn, lady; I’m sick of dealing with boomers too but that’s several bridges too far!

scum like this are what keep me from entirely opposing capital punishment

although, that term is a misnomer: punishment is a tool whose purpose is to teach and reinforce behavioral changes.

This sack of shit will never learn anything. Erasing him would not be for his sake, but for the world’s.

… china is looking better and better all the time :\

here in the 'states, people always reflexively bark “but you can criticize the government here without being thrown in jail or executed” and yet that statement is becoming shakier and shakier by the DAY. The US government has detained and attempted to disappear legal residents for criticizing the regime, and It’s starting to look terrifyingly possible that they’ll soon do that to full-fledged CITIZENS TOO.

Man. We are fucking cooked.

it’s a shame that when scum fights scum there are so many innocent civilians who will suffer. there are no good guys in this. A little bully with rich parents picked a fight with a big bully and everything that can come out of this will suck.
