  There’s a lot to disapprove of about the whole of popular thought, modern norms, science even. Shitposting is an expression of that disapproval. And no, you can’t just frame it as a rational argument. That would be like explaining 3D to a flatlander. All you can do it shit and howl.

  Not saying all shitposts are an example of this, but give them the benefit of the doubt.

  It’s called “genderful appropriation”. I just invented it. All the cool people will be getting offended by it really soon.

  I build fences. 3 out of 4 words is fuck.

  Ugh. Too emotional. Too rhetorical.

  Language evolves with every generation, yes. But I offered something different from that.

  I offered that the relationship between word and thing was becoming more tenuous. Like two telephones drawing further apart. The conversation breaking up.

  We talk less about reality now. We talk more about talking.

  I don’t care about the details. I just want an out-group to hate on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just recently heard it used that way. To describe “conservatives”. Much loke “yikes” I guess. They assign a new meaning to it and thus it is so.

  Words are different these days. Like, words used to have a secondhand association with reality. But now it’s thirdhand.

  Who are you calling an AI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ai has ideas? That’s a bit of a philosophical stretch.

  Do they insert advertisements?

  If so then the real fraud is false viewings of advertisements.

  Which upsets the advertisers of course.
