People keep saying she's going to make a "why I left the left" video, and continuously try to manifest it by being ghoulish clowns in her comments. They seem to WANT this to happen

@allTheYud You know I thought this was going to be a Yudkowsky hope post for a second, ngl

Mythos probably is, indeed, the most apparently-aligned model ever. The smartest-ever candidate for the Mandarin exam in Imperial China will likely get new high scores in essays on Confucian ethics. Predicting what the examiner wants to see is a capabilities problem.
English
@mimi10v3 Is this a "I have an identity not matching/orthogonal to femininity" or "I had to realize the other people have a sense which I seem to lack and have no analogue to" sort of thing?
English
realizing that one of the beneficial side effects of not internally identifying as a woman was that i didn't take casual sexism so personally
English
@ant_dracula It's not like they said "okay time to make fun of this person" like it's a list they have to check off. A normal person can look at Trump and see a lot more to make fun of, because he's a clown with nukes
English
@YoCuddles “T…they totally made fun of both sides the same!”
“Haha Obama fans like him too much!”
English
They made fun of the hero worship around Obama, because his supporters have always been a bit ridiculous.
They make fun of Trump because he is a firehose of chaos and insanity. Anyone complaining about bias has to acknowledge that to even get through the door with me
Mr. Reply Guy@GenericSnarky
It actually blew my mind when I realized that south park never actually hit Obama or Biden in any real way
English
Are there any stories written by or at least for women where the female main character is just kind of a piece of shit? Like, Scott Pilgrim-esque, kind of a dirtbag, morally flawed, but confronts their flaws and improves? More central to the plot (instead of an aside) the better

Thought this was a picture of new housing construction and I was so happy for a second.
It'd be a bright fucking day if we could build units like these to rent for normal people, but apparently we can only do sane housing in New York for prisoner. Damn 😔
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Promises won't close Rikers Island. Action will. Today, we're announcing the opening of a 104-bed unit at Bellevue Hospital - New York City's first-ever Outposted Therapeutic Housing Unit - serving people in custody with complex medical needs, including critically vulnerable detainees from Rikers Island. This marks a major step toward a correctional system built on access and prevention. The journey to close Rikers has begun.

Holding my liberal friends, shaking them by the shoulders, screaming in their face, begging them to understand that convicted murderers are not 6 year old girls in a golf cart.
MAZE@mazemoore
Gavin Newsom's wife recalls telling prisoners at San Quentin about running over and killing her sister with a golf cart. She said that she wasn't punished because it was an accident but that the prisoners are doing life even though theirs was "probably an accident too."
English
How many people are hyping up a "woke 2.0"? How many people see something in the timeline and explain "woke is back, baby!"?
I think everyone needs to get on the same page that progressives did something bordering in unforgivable, and they should be held in suspect going forward
English
I would agree, but a lot of these things weren't properly litigated at the time, and retrospectives are important. I don't think we were in a position to properly condemn how insane things had gotten at the time, I think that needs to happen now, across the isleh
Richard Hanania@RichardHanania
It was twelve years ago! I thought it was ridiculous at the time but there needs to be a statute of limitations on complaining about culture war stuff. Fewer such outrages today, so they go back and play the hits.
English
Some people get embarrassed, or humiliated, and they never forget it. A lot of high status men were once very low status (either financially or socially), Bezos and Musk among them, probably Gates too. It breaks something in them that doesn't get fixed when they become rich
English
She grew not at all from this experience, and has become a far worse person since, and I actually think that this somehow did harm. She needed food, and she got a can full of humility, so now she doesn't think kids should get state funded education.
English
My mother told a story of going to a food bank, or something, not sure the details, but we were quite poor after 2008 and didn't know how we were going to make it.
They gave her a can of lima beans, I believe. It was such a blow to her ego that she never came back
English
@SecondA16110022 The assumption of "kids will take care of their parents in old age" is a frankly hilarious in the context of a parental generation that seems to resent doing literally anything to help their kids succeed. This is not true for Gen x, in my experience, it seems to be just boomers
English
@SecondA16110022 Family vacation homes, especially for your own kids, should be something you let them stay in for free especially when your kid is earning 35k a year. You should not charge your kids market rate, or really anything at all, if they need to stay with you, save maybe for food
English
The internet just makes it easier to put together a constituency. No matter how unreasonable their claim, they’ll perfect the effectiveness of their argument.
Bonus points if there are fundamental concepts in conflict (e.g. family vs individual choices).
forward deployed ccp gf@FangYi11101
Am I an out-of-touch boomer? When did it become normal for grown adults, after being raised, fed, clothed, and educated, to expect their elderly parents to subsidize their summer leisure at the expense of peak-season rental income?
English
@TheOmniLiberal Iran right to a fair trial? Prosecutors, judges, clerks etc. also cost a whole lot of money. Anyone who talks like this is just disqualifying themselves
English
Should you not have a right to an attorney for criminal matters?
Bojan Tunguz@tunguz
Something that requires someone else’s labor can’t be a right.
English
It doesn't help that Jacobin is a diseased hell-hole of lies that contaminates everything it touches with a moral stain that runs down to the fucking soul. Maybe it's more a problem with political extremists, specifically
English
This is UK data. I find it strange that this person has gone a day without retraction, comment or deletion. I would be groveling if I made this sort of mistake, I'm just starting to accept that most people just don't really care if they're lying, maybe?
Luke Savage@LukewSavage
Amid all the inane chin-stroking and mystification that goes on to explain politics today, the mental circumlocutions about how someone like Trump was elected, the pained speculations as to why liberal democracy is crumbling and so on, stuff like this is immensely clarifying.
English
@NathanpmYoung Expand? I don't see anything wrong with what you said

me, failing my CHA roll, as per usual
Nathan 🔎@NathanpmYoung
Like, is women opening up on this site really oversupplied? Is that something we want to tax?
