@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 ?

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

@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.

@The_Right_Ryder @QueenMab87 Ah yes. Those famous trans leftists of *checks notes* Latin terminology.

@QueenMab87 "cis" is a PC buzzword coined by a trans leftist that's come into popular fashion, even in academia. I realize you're a leftist but perhaps you weren't aware of this.

I really hate that y’all are making me defend cis men but I’m just really not going to sit here and listen to you tell me that all the men in my life actually just want to violently dehumanize and degrade me

@r0b0t_sp1der @GamestMesa @arenrlebrun What are you protesting for, bud?

@GamestMesa @arenrlebrun I might do something *way* more severe that than. Why? Does it matter? It's a protest. Are you opposed to protest?

Remember when retired U.S. lawyer Kenneth Darlington killed two activists in Panama for protesting a copper mine in the rainforest, and Elon Musk (billionaire EV magnate w/ a vested interest in cheap copper) thumbed the scales on X so badly that people thought he was the hero?

@floryyn_ @bluntghoul I mean, I don’t. Anecdotally, there are a *lot* more subs/bottoms than tops in my area.

@LetsConsider @bluntghoul I wish this study also showed how people chose based on their gender preference - i was talking about heterosexual people, who are most of our population. I find that lesbians and gays are pretty much 50/50 when it comes to dominance.

@artjinni08 @FucksuInTheAss It can be explicitly nonsexual though. Some people use kink as a means of emotional regulation.

@LetsConsider @FucksuInTheAss Outside of sex doesn't necessarily mean non-sexual though. A couple could touch each other on non-sexual spots, but it could still be sexual. You want to get slapped because you get a kick out of it.

Sexualization of bdsm

@AxelBlaster @bluntghoul Why is an atheist balking at sodomy Anal isn’t the same as scat

@LetsConsider @bluntghoul Because we all have are limits... x.com/i/status/20375…

@AxelBlaster @bluntghoul Why, though?

@LetsConsider @bluntghoul It's not inmoral as long as it's consensual. It's just disgusting.
