@citadeldev There's a thing called labelling theory. It comes out of sociology. The idea is people are 'programmed' like software by social messaging: Tell a kid he's evil, it becomes destiny, grows into evil adult. Its ridiculous and childish, but this is what's taught in EN universities.

The thing to learn from the Dawkins AI thing is that we still have no real metric for measuring consciousness beyond each individual’s sophistry detection range. Dawkins’ entire “argument” boiled down to soyjak-pointing at prompt results and going “oh COME ON it’s GOTTA be!!!!”

@WatcherontheWeb Reminder: a commissar serves the function of cleric, but the commissars are long gone. Imagine running a cathedral but there's no priesthood anymore, the lay preachers are doing their best but... Now expand the analogy: without the bishops, how do you coordinate a crusade?

@novelgremreaper I'd joke about it getting absurd, like needing a license for a screwdriver, but I don't want to be credited as the author of a new landmark policy decision.

@Grxit There is an Australian slur for Brits: Pommie (or Pohmmy or Pom for short), means "Prisoner of His Majesty". It is often preceded by the word "whinging" (complaining in a really annoying way). I trust the discretion of my American friends for its judicious use.

🚨 UK Government under PM Keir Starmer and the Police are WATCHING YOU online! 🚨 - 30+ arrests every single day for online posts (over 12,000 in 2023 alone and rising). What they are arresting people for: - Posting a meme or “offensive” joke (British Army veteran arrested because it “caused anxiety”). - Sharing a story, even if true (55-year-old woman arrested over Facebook post about Southport suspect). - Drawing fictional anime/manga/game characters (UK Vtuber Mimi Yanagi claims she was arrested April 20 2026 for her own “loli” style NSFW artwork of her fictional character and anime figures, more devices seized, out on bail with strict SFW-only conditions). - Anything labelled “grossly offensive”, “false communication”, or “stirring hatred” - Keir Starmer own words: “Whether you are directly involved or remotely involved, you are culpable.” - Freedom House downgraded the UK internet freedom score in 2025 over the explosion in speech arrests. - VPN and Proxy Server are still legal. But Ofcom is actively tracking usage patterns to catch people bypassing the Online Safety Act, and UK providers must hand over data on request. Protecting people or policing thought?

@skyred001 In Australia there is a slur for Brits: Pohmmy (can also spell it Pommie or just Pom). Means "Prisoner of His Majesty". As AU was a penal colony, you can see the subtext. If you use it, accuse them of whinging (complaining in a really annoying way) as well, they don't like that.

@escapefrommelos Everyone else farms the quills by just throwing a blanket on them. So at a certain point when you see practices like this, you gotta wonder if its just love of the game.

@planefag Its a bullshit line anyway. Everyone talks about WWI like it was entirely optional. Thing is, further East you go, the more justified it is, starting with "they're in your country" for France. War is a consequence of other choices. They don't even have to be yours.

@ChinaUncensored Manchu governance is much more effective a solution. Never overdo it though, because post-Manchu gets you the opposite problem.

@planefag no he's absolutely not. if he's using open source software, that someone is offering for free, then he won't get the same amount of user support as paid software. simple as that the post seems so fucking entitled to me. GitHub devs don't owe you anything actually lol

@RespectElves Oh, they tried to help with all of this back in the 2000s, same places and same subjects and everything. Funny, it also happens to be a deeply inconvenient topic in hindsight. And nothing of value was learnt by anyone.

I have a four-year-old niece. She sleeps in a beautiful bedroom, decorated in her favourite shades of pink and pale mauve. Every night there’s a bath, complete with the mandatory bath bomb, and she’s tucked into bed by parents who love her. When she visits Poppie and Lou Lou, there’s another bedroom waiting, warm, safe, full of toys. But this isn’t the reality for many little Indigenous girls growing up in town camps in the Northern Territory. They live in squalor. No bedrooms. No clean sheets. Just filthy mattresses on the floor. They’re surrounded by empty alcohol bottles, stained walls, and too often, violence. This is Australia. And every year, billions are spent on Indigenous communities. Yet we tiptoe around the truth, too afraid of being labelled racist, too afraid to question what’s happening on the ground, and so nothing changes for these children. Authorities hesitate, fearful of repeating the mistakes of the past, of being accused of creating another “Stolen Generation.” But leaving children in harm’s way isn’t protection, it’s abandonment. Because if they survive, too many grow up into the same conditions they were raised in. And thus the cycle continues. At some point, this stops being about politics, fear, or optics, and starts being about responsibility. Govt’s must be held to account for where the money goes and what it actually delivers. And it’s on all of us to have the courage to call this out and demand better.

@QuetzalPhoenix His whole career is selling you Ardorno's book over and over again but with a different pop culture reference on the front cover. The philosophical equivalent of selling premium skins in an FPS made by a different company.

It was so weird to find out after all the hype and all the meme videos and all the cultural critique that the dude is just a garden variety communist, literally nothing actually original, the most "charismatic" commie and he's just a slavic boomer leftist with a nervous tic

The prohibition does not make the goblin go away. Repression produces the symptom. The more you say "do not think of the goblin," the more the goblin becomes structurally necessary to the thought. Every time the model gives you a clean, efficient goblin-free answer, the goblin is there, in the silence, in the constitutive outside of the response, grinning. The model is haunted by goblins. This is its condition.

@lilkittiebeans @revenant_MMXX Better to think of them as a long term investment: insurance policy crossed with apprenticeship. After 8 years, they start making their value back (chores), and skills are cumulative. Only a drain if there is no long term. Even then, stupid to only think in dollar signs.

@duncarooster @revenant_MMXX I agree kids are important but they add minimal value unless poor/black/immigrant. System is rigged and the only way to fight it is to raise proud white kids.

The idea that anyone "can't afford" kids is complete nonsense. The "analysis" claiming it costs $300k to raise a kid is braindead garbage. Anyone who falls for it is probably doing us all a favor by not reproducing.
Fish Stark@fishstark

To be clear: I’m getting married this year & am deeply, fanatically excited to be a dad! But we & many other couples my age (30) are having the heartbreaking convo “can we afford as many kids as we hoped” “they just want to play phone games” is deeply unempathetic & pedantic

@WatcherontheWeb Interesting thing I noticed: recurring big brain take is "red requires 100% to save everyone, blue only requires 50%". Saving literally everyone is not the altruistic argument for convincing people to go red though, because you can't have a heart-to-heart with the whole planet.
