@dasnielsenson For the same reason I don’t feel the need to prove why 2 πr is the circumference of a circle. Your questions aren’t radical or new, and if you’re struggling with them you should consult the people who studied them for decades and shaped modern philosophy.

@LetsConsider if you understand objective reality well enough, why can't you provide your own reasoning besides stating assumptions and backing it with appeal to authority?

Also, it should terrify everyone that adults in the 21st century believe in demons.

@dasnielsenson “I think therefore I am” If you want someone to prove the concept of existence, and being able to observe your surroundings, check Descartes. It takes a little more than 280 characters.

@LetsConsider we infer what objectivity might be, but the neutral observer assumption is an easily disproven axiom, collapsing the idea that science is objective/infallible and in a technocratic society with textbooks from Robert Maxwell and Epstein controlling research, who is independent?

@jane_plainly Okay. I’ll bite. Do you think you can be a leftist, or a feminist, without also being pro-trans rights?

@year_ofthesnake @themarinadove you are not a leftist if you are not a feminist. Happy to help. You are some form of online fascist cult probalby influenced by the CIA.

kinda have to laugh at the ironic misogyny yall are doing. radical feminism should not be treated as some kind of flippant phase for 19-22 year olds. It is a fringe political theory of Liberal politics that targets vulnerable women to radicalize them into bigoted SW/TERFs

@DunningKitten @YugoEnjoyer Ah yes, my favorite wikislop game, Portal The most Wikislop game is actually Team Fortress Hades is really such a Wikislop game, I can’t play it without the wiki Hollow Knight? Oh man, I require that Wiki to use my ears to find the map Tetris? Wikislop. All the way.

@YugoEnjoyer The only thing that this does not apply to are linear story games. Any game beyond a certain depth cannot intuitively scaffold the gameplay experience. Noita is on that image, but you could conceivably naturally discover every secret in the game.

Minecraft is also a part of this image, it's just so popular that people forget that not everyone knows the exact Y levels you can find diamonds at or how to access the end or how to build a piston door

@dasnielsenson … there’s a lot of leaps of logic We can objectively measure and analyze reality, even when our senses are insufficient. These can be independently verified. You’re behind on “I think, therefore I am” discourse, try to catch up Actually just read enlightenment theory

@LetsConsider if humans are imperfect biological computers that came into existence by chance, then there's no logical reason to expect our senses and logic to accurately represent reality if that's true, then logic and proof is entirely subjective even if objective reality exists

@undericio @NEO_SLACKER @NotChronicSonic Why is it misogyny to use generic names that fit the group you are talking to when talking to that group? Note, the names used do not have a negative sentiment/association in the way Karen does.

@NEO_SLACKER @NotChronicSonic @GWAMtweets if that’s true then that would be the misogyny OP is referring to. people have been saying that referring to random women as a “karen” is misogynistic, this would be the same sentiment

Never misses a chance to be a fucking misogynist, does he

@AkpCharles @JenResistedAGN Believe in God. That’s not the same as believing in demons. They’re actually very different things.

@JenResistedAGN Why’re you shoving your atheism on everyone ?

@dasnielsenson What are you talking about dude Did you think this was a good point? Or were you trying to write pseudo intellectual nonsense?

@JenResistedAGN what terrifies me the most is that people act like we know anything how can people simultaneously claim that humans are monkeys who think they're too good for the trees AND that we can be certain about anything our monkey minds perceive? does that logic not collapse on itself?

@UptownDonkey02 Why would that mean demons exist?

@JenResistedAGN Bacteria wasn't discovered until the late 1600s. It's very possible, almost certain, there are things in the universe we simply cannot see or detect yet.

@FascismIsBack @JenResistedAGN Aliens don’t give you permission for unilateral violence against anyone who disagrees with you. Being in a stimulation isn’t exactly common, I think that’d be more along the lines of being schizophrenic.

@JenResistedAGN Ppl believe in aliens and that we live in a simulation, whats the difference? Ppl believe anything.

@tracertong25466 @YosarianTwo I think the people who died because USAID was defunded might have something to say about arguing that Trump replacing Biden didn’t matter

@YosarianTwo The material systems that empowered trump very much remained in place and the dysfunction trump capitalized on greatly hindered the Biden admin. So yeah, he's not wrong. The rot preceeded Trump and it outlasted Biden. It'll still be around come 2029 too without real effort.

"Replacing Biden with Trump changed very little" is maybe the single stupidest thing anyone has ever said about American politics in the history of ever

@ForeverIzer It is disingenuous to perform incredulity over trans people embracing gender roles, ignoring how their very existence as trans people inherently deconstructs gender roles as “natural” and demonstrates them as constructed roles to be embraced or rejected as suits individual needs.

@snowmistspiders @zermeloztt but the quoted image says that "its totally your responsibility as a trans woman to deconstruct gender roles", implying that its *not* also trans people's responsibility to do that. also, the person being QRTd isnt saying people shouldnt transition.

really just hit us with the

@UnusualReadings “Don’t talk to strangers” is for children. For adults, you should use your brain to decide if someone is good to talk to. And it can be okay to be impolite. You’re not being wronged by someone inconveniencing you.

@hecubian_devil Lmao triumph over what? This guy definitely has psycho energy but he makes a valid point. It's just a continuation of the adage, "Don't talk to strangers". It's not polite. Some guy comes up and asks me about coconut water? I think that's weird! Leave me alone!

Tbh stuff like this is why I believe—absent an aggressive regulatory regime—LLMs will triumph We’ve been on a steady trajectory for decades of seeing all social interaction as zero-sum, laborious demands on your time/energy/mental health. More people subscribe to more extreme versions of this idea every day. No, not *you*, of course. You’re still normal, if you insist. But the trendline is obvious and has been obvious for a long time, and so the prospect of finally replacing human social interaction entirely with a simulation that gives you exactly what you want whenever you want it, and which demands nothing in return—indeed, which lacks subjectivity and ceases to exist when you aren’t looking at it—will be too compelling for most to resist. It’s the perfect culmination of where we’ve been heading for decades. There’s no reason to believe we’ll stop before we get there, unless there’s a collective democratic effort to prevent total social annihilation.

@CWC_Rosechuu If you actually had any expertise in niche topics, you would quickly discover the limits of all LLMs. They hallucinate information constantly. And they literally make you dumber. arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872

@hecubian_devil Claude is more knowledgeable and better at conversation than any person I’ve ever met. It’s always able to meet me where Im at no matter how niche the topic is. It has infinite free time and needs nothing from me in return So why would I talk to another person at all ?

@yggiz54 @CH2887 Then it should be easy to find the full context, or to find more damning videos, right?

@CH2887 @OutcheaFoReal He has said hundreds of racist comments lol why would these be any less.

Fuck him.

@yggiz54 Like what? I’ve seen insults. I don’t think I’ve seen actual racism.

@Fos666666666 @OutcheaFoReal Hassan literally has a long history of racist attacks dude. He’s an extremist and has openly and constantly stated how he loathes both parties. He’s a pos

@yggiz54 Caring about a heavily enforced border and caring about the humanitarian crisis caused by border patrol both qualify as “caring about the border.” And even if they do care about it the way you want, it is not useful to engage with right wing talking points on their terms.

@29cailean @OutcheaFoReal And yes the border was the number 2 issue among black voters in 24 and when they are your most loyal voting block, you damn well better fing care a lot about what they think. Piker is a racist and has a long history of racist comments. Hell he himself has stated he loathes dems

@floryyn_ The account that originated the discussion is suspended, but they included phrases like “Ask /why/ ‘women enjoy giving blowjobs’. Could it be a woman’s value is a function of her sexual performance?” They also said anal for women is inherently abuse.

@LetsConsider @bluntghoul bruh the discussion is NOT that thing lol

kink discourse on this app will never not drive me crazy bc it's always from such a oddly puritanical standpoint that removes agency from the women who are willingly participating & also ignores the nuance of queer dynamics , more importantly sapphic ones .

@floryyn_ @bluntghoul Your point isn’t fully wrong, but also not relevant. Patriarchy shapes how people view sex and how assertive/in control they want to be, but the discussion being had is much more focused on why women are wrong for enjoying blowjobs, and why they’re unable to meaningfully consent.

@LetsConsider @bluntghoul makes sense. still, point stands

@FoxyDreamCore @surplustakes Clearly. There are no other factors in our economy that are causing immiseration. Companies are reasonable actors because consistent income is sufficient for them, and thus make long term decisions that balance customer needs and profits. I was born yesterday.

@surplustakes I despise this discussion because nobody wants to address the elephant in the room that the American taxpayer is getting raped so that literally everyone else can benefit from our government.

Matt Groening predicted this.
