It codes to *us* as gay, but the rainbow is a sacred symbol of the Seven, so it codes in-universe as pious!

@TrueSlazac I mean it's objectively annoying that creates a paragraph instead of a one word answer. This a great candidate for AI and a terrible candidate for Agenic AI

I can't imagine caring that much about whether your objective numeral answer is given by AI or a human

@olivertraldi Certainly not! For example Austen famously did exactly that

@synaen Okay, so you agree that this isn't the first time in history. Great.

@olivertraldi Her books are literally about how most people are marrying for circumstance and the Lucky Few protagonists push through those exact pressures

@synaen That is because character is difficult to discern.

@rieszspieces In the interest of fairness running a marathon is also really bad for your feet

people have yet to realize that unless you're like basically running a marathon max cushion shoes are like really bad for your feet

Adidas said the record breaking marathon shoe would be available for $500 on its app at 10am. Wasn’t even available for 2 minutes.

it is apparent that living in america is much sadder and grimmer than it was thirty, twenty, or even ten years ago
this should give us some pause about the notion of "progress" and indeed this is probably related to the undoing of the american liberal political tradition

@fedtanyl @pnwsnorlax_ The idea that artificial intelligence will follow uncapped exponential growth is entirely unsubstantiated. There's really no reason to assume it's true
English
@pnwsnorlax_ I say this for a few reasons. The first is because humans have a horrible intuition when it comes to exponential growth so it’s bound to look very unrealistic, the second is because most of the authors (and experts) have slightly longer timelines, and because the
English
If anyone is wondering how (or why) artificial superintelligence might wipe out humanity, I highly recommend reading AI 2027. And to think about the underlying incentives and rationale rather than hyperfixating on the projected timelines.

@amishescapee @CaudilloNuclear This doesn't make any sense because her stomach is clearly showing in the picture, you just wanted to shoehorn in a mean girl fat comment

@JohnnyTwoTs @shakoistsLog That's because stoners work night shift at mcd and alcoholics are in a ditch somewhere. All data shows there are a lot more alcoholics than stoners
English
@synaen @shakoistsLog Far more common to encounter stoners than alcoholics. It’s not a one for one.

I think in our mind, back then, we wanted college kids to smoke some joints without occasionally being thrown in jail. but now it seems like we're just giving psychosis to the working poor with hyper-concentrated thc.

@bumbanisher @cremieuxrecueil It sounds like you're describing something like "listlessness" in very colorful language. It's a common sympton of depression. I'll let you guess why it's common in people prescribed anti-depressants

@cremieuxrecueil I'm not particularly knowledgeable on this topic, that's why I was asking if you have an explanation for why everybody I've met who takes them is just retarded.
It's hard to describe, but it's like they just no longer have a soul.

Trump seems to have pretty good instincts for understanding medicines, vaccines, etc.
For example, here he's saying he's surprised to hear antidepressants don't work that well.
And he's right, because they are extremely effective. Even if you halved their effects they would be.

Trump: "I was surprised to hear about the antidepressants. I assume they'd be better. That's not very good. So Bobby, you're gonna push it hard?"

It was specifically to lessen the power of slave owning states, but you know that.
