Oh yeah the Access To Money machines that you see at sketchy convenience stores and whatnot usually have bizarrely high fees
Whereas Automated Teller Machines operated by established financial institutions are a little more trustworthy and reasonable
(I’m only a little bit joking)

Mac is not an acronym.
It is only an abbreviation of macaroni.
Mac and Cheese would be redundant if it were an acronym.

Maybe Mary had XY chromosomes but her Y chromosome was nonfunctional due to a mutation, so her body was built and functioning entirely on the X chromosomes instruction set. When the parthenogenesis occurred, the miracle was that the Y chromosome in the fetus spotaneously mutated back into a functional state.
Jesus is just Mary’s clone but with a functioning y chromosome :3

Why aren’t these chuds fearing for their lives? Why aren’t they being dragged out into the street and strung up by their own intestines? I thought this world was supposed to defend freedom. Guess not.

Honestly thank you so much for your enlightening insights! It’ll be helpful for me to digest!
- Comment on THIS is always the correct response 2 weeks ago:
“just be friends” can often be a way to euphemistically say “fuck off and leave me alone” because a girl who actually says “fuck off and leave me alone” out loud for real runs the risk of a fragile, shallow, unhinged, emotionally unstable man going berserk and MURDERING her.
Obviously nobody likes to hear this but it DOES happen–not every time but if doesn’t need to be every time in order to factor as a risk; like how “every gun is ALWAYS loaded–ESPECIALLY a gun that ‘Isn’t Loaded’!”
The list of people who are murdered for refusing a romantic advance gets longer every day, and the unfortunate truth is that the majority of the victims on that list are women, and that the majority of the perpetrators on that list are men. Statistically speaking, it is simply a matter of common sense precaution to hedge the possibility of a violent reaction by offering “friendship” in the hopes that the other party will be de-escalated enough to not flip out.
That said, I have managed to maintain friendships with some of the people I’ve previously had romantic feelings for, but it took me bridging the honesty gap FOR them: actually offering them the chance to clarify; that they face no danger in being direct with me and that I both CAN and WILL in fact peacefully go fuck off forever if that’s what they actually meant. Thinking back, there’s only two ex partners who didn’t want to talk to me at all anymore after the romantic stage crashed. The fact that it’s non-zero though, that there was even ONE person who was initially lying when they offered “consolation prize friendship” (although forgivably because they were just protecting themselves), tells me all I ever needed to know.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 3 weeks 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.

- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 4 weeks 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.

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 1 month 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.
