- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 4 days ago:
The snopes article indicates that the study cited for reporting Tesla cars to have the most fatalities per billion miles driven cannot be validated
In sum, while the claims across social media are correct in saying a study did find Tesla to have the highest fatal accident rate of any car brand, the study itself uses data that is not available to the public. Therefore, although this does not mean the data is incorrect, it does mean that ensuring the study’s accuracy is not possible at this time.

And now that the censorship gatekeeping is happening for “porn” games and “violent” news, ANY GAME CAN BE DESTROYED BY THAT, NOW, TOO.
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 1 week ago:
Clearly I think it would be preferable if they didn’t do business with Russia, israel, or any other states actively engaging in the invasion of other people’s sovereignty, but that doesn’t have to be the only disqualifying factor. There are plenty of nations in the world that are toxic by other criteria. I highly doubt countries that murder civilians for wearing the “wrong” clothes or espousing the “wrong” opinions, for instance. Such as countries where if they find out you’re gay they execute you. That’s not very anti-censorship and tacit complicity with that fuckery would not further the mission.

And your phone number and your address and your contact list and permission to read-write access to your files and your social security number and your blood type and your date of birth and your mother’s maiden name and the location and shape of any birthmarks or scars and your fingerprints and your genealogy and your deepest darkest secret and what you ate for breakfast last Tuesday and if you’ve made any pacts with yogsathoth and if your soul is still available for sale and your dental records and your porn preferences and your favorite color and your BMI and the name you gave to your favorite stuffed animal when you were six years old

My meds are actually working and it’s incredible how starting JUST HAPPENS NOW
I’m told it doesn’t work for everyone, but my own personal biochemistry is responding beautifully to Strattera and a small dosage of Wellbutrin.
My psychiatrist told me there’s some risk of harmful interaction so my Wellbutrin dosage had to be reduced when I started the Strattera, but it’s been amazing.
I literally feel like I have more hours in every day because so much less time is lost struggling to get started, struggling to stay on task, struggling to STOP a repetitive habitual time wasting trap like doomscrolling or stupid short form videos.
- Comment on Leading AI Models Are Completely Flunking the Three Laws of Robotics 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s where my mind is at too.
AI in its present form does not act. It does not do things. All it does is generate text. If a human responds to this text in harmful ways, that is human action. I suppose you could make a robot whose input is somehow triggered by the text, but neither it nor the text generator know what’s happening or why.
I’m so fucking tired of the way uninformed people keep anthropomorphizing this shit and projecting their own motives upon things that have no will or experiential qualia.

…truly i’m grateful you listened. What I experienced cannot be un-experienced, but … the only way there’s any chance of people doing something about this kind of terrible event, taking preventative measures against it, etc, is if they know it happens.
A peaceful existence comes from understanding conflict and how to address it.

[Exactly how traumatizing it was--Caution: NSFL]
I was sexually assaulted in the locker room by other students. No one believed me. I subsequently experienced a psychological breakdown. The traumagenic dissociation plunged me through egodeath and I stopped being a person for a year. I was literally not myself again until 2009. I am still slightly messed up to this day, but the two decades that followed immediately after the incident were especially rough.

1995…
I was 10 years old and in the 5th grade.
And I remember everything, huh? Hoo boy. Hoooo boyyyyy.
First thing I do is write this list while it’s still fresh in my mind:
- ADHD is real and it will ruin my potential if I don’t face it head on. The medication won’t work on me yet, though, so tell Mom and Dad I NEED to get back on medication when my brain is more developed in a couple years.
- Also, for future reference: it isn’t actually a deficit of ATTENTION at all–it’s really stupidly named by neurotypicals who don’t fucking get it–it’s TIME BLINDNESS and a deficit of IMPULSE CONTROL and EXECUTIVE FUNCTION.
- Sugar is going to make me extremely sick and all my weight and fitness issues come directly from carbohydrate overdose. STOP drinking soda, and avoid refined/homogenized starch!
- I’m about to enter the most painful and traumatizing stage of my formative years. The middle school I’ll be attending starting 6th grade will be hell on earth. I need to keep my FUCKING mouth shut and not talk to ANYONE unless they talk to me. I also need to practice the skill of mindful dissociation and compartmentalization. Stoicism will be my only shelter.
- Yes the adults around me are morons and don’t know what they’re talking about, but broken clocks can be right twice a day. In this case, they’re correct about homework and studying being important for the wrong reasons: It is NOT about satisfying the expectations of teachers, but rather it is entirely for practicing the skill of internalizing and recalling information. I will not regret time I spend on it.
- Mom and Dad are struggling financially right now. Dad’s racking up debt while Mom is the only reliable source of income. That’s why they would “hold onto” my birthday and xmas money “for safekeeping”. it is neither kept nor safe; it’s gone. All of it. HIDE ANY MONEY I RECEIVE… and tell grandpa to buy stock in Apple.
- Express early interest in nuclear energy and pursue it with everything I’ve got. Approach via Mechanical Engineering. I’ll enjoy Computer Aided Drafting in High School.
- Remember the major incidents to come: Columbine and zero tolerance policy in 1999, also dotcom bubble crash, Al Gore will lose in 2000, WTC will be destroyed by a terrorist attack 2001-09-11, Bush Jr administration will cause the housing market to crash as well by 2008, America succumbs to Fascism in 2016, and there will be a global plague in 2020.
- I’m a furry and I am not actually a boy despite being assigned male at birth. Embrace androgyny. Get online. Find my tribe. Draw a lot.

I stay the fuck away from it specifically because of all the pedophiles on there. Whole place gives me the ick big-time.
If I had excessive amounts of wealth, I’d seriously consider buying the entire thing just to immediately shut it down, except I know the predators will just find some other way to stalk their prey.
Shit, maybe it needs to be a Honeypot. If it IS one, it’s still not scraping enough scum, and its very business practice is inherently predatory too even WITHOUT the rampant child sexual molestation; it siphons labor out of children too.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 1 month ago:
Probably because it’s been downscaled from its full resolution.
Also rotated for some reason from the original? Or perhaps just rendered from the same mathematical sequence with some parameters swapped. Here’s an uncompressed one:

there are a lot of pieces that use one pixel per color too! you might really dig what people can do with it: it’s honestly astonishing the kinds of arrangements they can make just by mixing the colors.
