I’ve used an unhealthy amount of AI, this is nothing. There was an audio bug in chatgpt that made the assistant scream. The volume and pitched increased and would persist even when I exited the speech mode. It happened several times and even saved a screen recording, but I don’t have it saved on my phone any more. Repeating is very common though.

What the fuck are you on about? Touch grass? Come off with that shit man. You don’t know if I need an abortion or if my Medicare or Medicaid has been stalled by the government. You don’t know if I started carrying my birth certificate and passport everywhere I go just so I don’t get deported to El Salvador. You don’t know how many of my health insurance claims have been denied.
It’s like telling a soldier to ignore the war that things could be worse and they should enjoy life. I don’t think it’s a shit opinion to say that carpet bombing children is wrong. I think you’re projecting. You don’t know what life is like for most. You don’t know how bad things have gotten for most. You just know that things are good for you and your social circle and that everyone should make you feel comfortable and happy about it. Go find an echo chamber if that’s what you want.

It’s weird to be called zealous.
Like, I’m just a normal fucking person in a time where people (including children) are getting kidnapped by the government for being brown. Trump pardoned violent criminals and their ring leaders as well as corrupt billionaires while pissing away our tax money into carpet bombing a nation of 48% children.
Fucking good for you if don’t mind the taste of boot, but I’m watching our way of life begin to collapse. Slapping the ‘politics’ label on it and feels like a load of bullshit.

I mean, politics encompass everything. There is no escape, simply a tolerance for one flavor of politics over another. You may be in a position that views news and opinions as an annoyance, but I’m not free to forget what’s at stake.

Not necessarily. Look at things like America’s got talent. You sell your act to get world wide recognition. You can only become valuable by promising that value to a corporation with means to market your talent.
I feel like music is becoming corrupt. A tool to pander, an advert, measured by the ability to reach the largest audience. It’s supposed to be about sending a message, but it feels like we’re being sold one.
The internet exists and now more than ever people have the tools and resources to create, so it’s wild that only big brands have such an iron monopoly on creativity. It’s super disappointing.
- Comment on WHERE ARE MY PRECISION SCREWDRIVERS 1 week ago:
I’m no mechanic, so anytime I work with a drill, it’s to unscrew someone’s pervious work. I just jam the plus shaped head into the plus shaped hole and pray, just as the lord intended.

You count just say you disagree and explain why it upset you.
- Comment on doctors 4 weeks ago:
Hear me out. You’re villainizing me because what I said struck a nerve. You don’t actually believe I want you dead. You’re just upset that I pointed out a deep flaw. Maybe it’s an insecurity, or cognitive dissonance, or whatever. I’m very familiar with this type of response. Whatever it is, realize that someone likely depends on you and that an unhealthy lifestyle is not good for them. I’m encouraging you to do better, if not for yourself, the people in your life you care for. I recognize my ignorance. I’m not a therapist. I’m just stating something I’ve personally observed.

Look. Shitty doctors exist, but when 1/3 of the US is overweight, there are underlying issues that need addressing. I only hear horror stories when an addict, alcoholic, or overweight individual in my life is feeling insecure or defensive about a prognosis. Too many people deflect and it’s enabling a much larger issues. Our basic instincts are being exploited.
- Comment on doctors 4 weeks ago:
Got a lot to say but I’ll keep it brief-ish. Corporations love unhealthy people. They will artificially celebrate this and reinforce unhealthy lifestyles. This extends beyond weight.
Once entrapped, escape is hard. Some are passive and depressed. Some are dismissive and defensive. No matter which cycle you are in, it’s unhealthy.
I think smoking is bad like I think being overweight is bad. If a doctor says alcohol is killing you, it probably is. I don’t think hatred is deserved, but don’t expect any validation for those choices.

Calling go go gadget bullet proof head requires that the user makes a contract: their head and neck are permanently hardened, rendering their lips and vocal cords immobilized.
- Comment on Yemen hits Israel’s Ben Gurion airport with ballistic missile 5 weeks ago:
Genocide for what purpose? Destroying our planet? Wasting our resources? Killing the innocent? Why are we dumping money into this? Yemen and Palestine are of the poorest nations in the world suffering the harshest humanitarian crises of modern times. Why are we manufacturing war? We could spend money to help or to fix. To help and grow. Why is it being spent to kill?

- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 2 months ago:
Crazy how ethics work. Like a pig might be more physically and mentally capable than an individual in a vegetative state, but we place more value on the person. I’m no vegan, but I can see the contradiction here. When we generalize, it’s done so for a purpose, but these assumptions can only be applied to a certain extent before they’ve exhausted their utility. Whether it’s a biological system or an electrical circuit, there is no godly commandment that inherently defines or places value on human life.
