Depending on how serious you are:
Choose weed instead
Or the crisis line. You probably already know where to find it. Help is available. You do not have to suffer alone. I love you homie.

News crew pronounced it that way on purpose with a straight face.
Pure dedication. How many takes did they need for that?
- Comment on girlfriend 6 days ago:
You’re not wrong, although I feel like the implication in this context was slightly more antagonistic.
i.e. “It’s only a matter of time before she leaves your sorry ass”

He’s not accusing televangelist fraudsters, war criminals, or deceptive, charismatic, powerful world leaders that threaten religious freedom.
Isn’t that him and his entire social circle?
if you asked a random person off the street:
hi which one of these people do you think is most likely the Antichrist:
- Greta Thunberg (Climate Activist)
- Eliezer Yudkowsky (AI researcher)
- Peter Thiel (Chairman of Palantir)
I’m going to guess most people will pick option 3.
I didn’t even know who Eliezer was, I just skimmed his Wikipedia page.
I’m an atheist, but hearing about a billionaire defense contractor who goes on rants about the antichrist makes me think “hmm maybe this dude is the Antichrist”.
It just reminds me too much of those super anti-paedophilia guys who make anti-paedophilia their entire personality and then turn out to have terabytes of CSAM on their laptop.
- Comment on What are they hoping to find there? 🤔 1 week ago:
I had a colleague from overseas looking to visit Soweto
I said something to the effect of “Brother why would you do that, don’t you have a family?”
But apparently there are legitimate tour programmes that go in there now. Super safe for visitors. I had no clue.
I mean, you still basically get robbed by the tour company, but if you’re used to dollars or euros, you probably won’t even notice.

- Comment on The fact that users are encouraged to include text descriptions with media content makes it perfect training data for AI. 1 month ago:
Also, the alt texts vary in descriptiveness for that exact purpose. They’re meant to be useful for humans, not for training data.
What would a blind person rather have as the alt text:
(there are no photos here, for the blind people listening)
A cute Alsatian puppy looking into the camera with a dog toy in its mouth
A 14 week old black/brown dog sitting on a tiled floor with a synthetic-rubber cuboid-cylindrical-shaped, blue-green-gradient chew toy in its mouth with its eyes and noises poised at a 30° angle towards the photographer’s origin. Each tile on the floor is approximately 1.47m^2 and are a pearlescent shade of off-white. There is an unidentifiable black speck on the first tile in the top left quadrant of the image. The cameraman’s fat finger is covering 1.97% of the bottom right quadrant. Focal length is set to 100mm. Exposure settings appear to be increased. The dog’s genitals are not visible.

- Comment on Is there any way of trying Battlefield 6 without buying it or paying £17 for a 1 month EA Play Pro subscription? 1 month ago:
Call me cheap
homie that game is $70
You’re not cheap, you’re literally trying not to get robbed
You can buy a few dozen really good indie games for a fraction of that price
That urge to buy and play it ASAP is marketing doing its job.
Easier said than done, but if you really hate EA, your only choice is to eat the FOMO.
Otherwise, you’re feeding the beast.

- Comment on If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.? 2 months ago:
Kick me in the brain stem if I’m on the wrong track, but I feel like it’s by design
In general,
Everyone hates public officials taking bribes
Everyone hates streaming services raising their subscription fees
Everyone hates advertisements
Everyone hates big pharma charging $1000 for a cancer treatment pill that costs 0.1c to manufacture
The throughline is obvious, but I feel most people just take a neutral or dismissive (and sometimes aggressive) stance if you bring it up.
It’s that cognitive dissonance that feels engineered.
I don’t know how to fix that. Admittedly, I still need to do more reading.

I don’t know what I expected, but it certainly wasn’t that many people with their bare ass cheeks out.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not gratuitous, but enough to feel like some kind of pattern. Just people with their butts hanging out.
Anyways, this little story was my favourite: Image
