I fucking hate the term “rage bait” like can we just go back to saying troll?
English
@7HonensYushI That's an excellent question. Here's my question: Who would win, Part 1 Tenten or Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu?
English
I absolutely hate powerscalers who just ignore narrative.
Do you even think see this as a story or just a blank book of feats????
English
They use these lines, only to follow it up with the most bottom tier takes imaginable.
English
@riyasinghwb The blue filter makes it hard to see. Thus, I like the Boruto one so I do not have to clearly perceive Boruto.
English
Final colour theme post. Which blue moment of anime you like the most?

@murasaki_akio @ZanVT_INC I'll bite. What would people think if Valkyrae asked to collab with a 19 year old girl?
English
@ZanVT_INC Valkyrae is addicted to optics. Instead of being normal she instantly goes to the biggest extreme and "what would people think".
English
Please someone explain to me. Genuinely, with an actual argumentation.
How a 30+ yo woman talking to a 19yo woman in a professional setting, could ever be described as "inappropriate" for the mere fact of holding a conversation to begin with.
I am baffled.
yoxic@yoxics
Valkyrae was cautious of doing a collab gaming stream with Yonna because she's 19 years old, saying although she's a woman it feels "inappropriate" since there is a huge age gap 😳

@Dragonhide3533 @ReviewsPossum Me. I'll do it though, if I get the 10 grand.
English
@ReviewsPossum Seriously, who needs ten grand to create a fucking discord server?
English
You're defending someone who conned her Kickstarter backers out of tens of thousands of dollars.

If you got mad at Anita Sarkeesian in 2014, you’re one of the biggest, softest losers who ever lived. If you’re still mad about Anita Sarkeesian twelve years later, buddy—

@iamAtheistGirl Wait, Jesus was the Democratic Candidate? I thought it was Kamala.

maga christians made their choice
they chose trump over jesus

@Whatgetsssme @dfw_joee So, you disagree that Earthbending was the solution here.
English
@dfw_joee She’s a literal teenager. Love how Korra gets critiques to no end for not being a perfect avatar from the jump whereas aang gets all of the grace in the world.
It’s misogyny and you’re not fooling anyone.
Stay stupid tho.
English
This babe could literally earth bend btw
But her first chain of thought was to punch her way through?
👑oluwa@OmoAlade007
This fight proved one thing: bloodbending is one of the most broken abilities in Avatar. Tarrlok had Korra completely helpless, even with the Avatar State.

What would be the most terrifying discovery we could make on Mars?
English
@Kekius_Sage I presume charging dark smart phones. If you're interested, I can also tell you what I think dark smart phones are made out of.
English
About 68% of the universe is dark energy. But what exactly is dark energy, and what is it used for?
English
if you knew how to make tornadoes, where would you put them?
English
@LensScientific What if we are not a multidimensional humanoid long snake being as described by Vonnegut, but are traveling along the time axis? What if I travel back 5 minutes ago, but the earth and the sun and the universe are still in the present while I'm stuck in the nothingness?
English
Do you think time travel will ever be possible?
English
@0xbeanstalk Nah, I imagine you've still got a few decades in you.
English
@wil_da_beast630 It is not at all useless. It is very useful, as it gives you the free reign to arrest essentially any dissident, now that you have made a law that is all encompassing. You just have to selectively arrest and judge.
English
Leaving pure abstract morality aside, it should be obvious to any thinking person that a definition which classifies 90% of men and 70% of women as rapists is in-practice useless.
Iona Italia, PhD 🇦🇺@IonaItalia
There are clearly situations in which it's rape even without resistance (the victim is unconscious, sleeping, drugged, mentally handicapped, a child, etc.) But if giving in to a bit of pressure (I prefer to call it persuasion) is rape, I have raped a lot of past boyfriends. 🤷🏻♀️
English
Why is it so important for many people on left and hard right to feel that the world is horrible, and getting worse?
It very clearly is not.
English
@Kasparov63 I have spent 3 days trying to convince myself that Claude has never felt an orgasm. I failed.
English
Indeed. As I’ve said in my lectures & books, a distinguishing feature of consciousness is *wanting*. What does a machine want? It wants what we tell it to want. As Weizenbaum of Eliza fame wrote in 1976, if you ask an AI why it decided something, it can only say "you told me to."
Gary Marcus@GaryMarcus
“Consciousness is not about what a creature says, but how it *feels*. And there is no reason to think that Claude feels anything at all. I am sure Claude can draw on its training data to wax poetic about orgasm, but that doesn't mean it has ever felt one.” I dissect Richard Dawkins’ Claude Delusion at my newsletter, link below.
English
@SarahTheHaider What an astute and intelligent observation. It can often be frustrating when we insist to a peer that formalities do not need to be abided by yet they still persist. The brutal contradictions borne of our social sense of kindness is merely a microcosm of the cornucopia of life.
English
Is there any way to get Claude to stop the flattery?
I've repeatedly made it clear, in several different ways, and it always steers back to sycophancy.
English
@JacobAShell @art_pleb Many people did, instead enjoying water diluted with high fructose corn syrup to avoid any potential nazi connections.
English
@art_pleb The Nazis also drank water, did we stop drinking water because of that?
English
I still genuinely dont understand why the idea that neolithic peoples engaged in violent conquests would be “a political problem.”

David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread. "It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice. Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."
