i knew people in university who probably actually thought this way.

the radical left boogieman in my current rural small town actually wants all gender neutral bathrooms in schools, with kitty litter boxes in a stall for otherkin. And they will force you to use your own neopronouns, or they will cancel you, and will make you lose your job.

that’s what these people around here really believe the average neolib democrat wants for society.

I just posted this in another thread but maybe it fits better here:

"Well, along with the head trauma and mental illness afflicted by it, I can’t work and I can’t even enjoy the taste of food anymore because I lost 2 of my 5 senses.

No worries though, had my disability case seen by a judge who is not even from my home state, with the lowest approval rating of judges in her already very red home state. Ope, I was denied disability after scraping by with zero income or support for years thanks to all the budget cuts credited to the wonderful DOGE. Good thing I had food stamps or I would have starved to death by now, but no worries, now that I got denied disability they took those away too and want me to go back to work to receive them.

Thought I’d be able to move out of the housing projects so I can stop being regularly assaulted on account of being openly queer. But now I have a violent felony after resisting being ganged up on by the cops during a psychotic episode after one of the assaults (being Mexican in small town USA is not so great).

Oh wait, that means now no one will hire me because I’m a violent felon with a 5 year work gap and bipolar with schizoaffective tendencies. So, I guess I won’t be able to get any more food stamps to eat the food, that I can’t even enjoy anymore if I did have it.

All because a patrol cruiser ran me over in a cross walk. I was damaged by the state, and the state has done nothing but trample me further since.

I know people have it worse in the world. I try not to have a “woe is me” attitude. I’m not alone in suffering this administration’s wake of damage. But I haven’t felt so hopeless in my life as I do these days. And I have had multiple suicide attempts when younger. I just gave up on that too."

And I don’t even know what to do homie, I just wanna curl up and rot away. To make matters worse I’m facing eviction, but am able to fight it somewhat because of the fair housing act and my disability. That’d be a death sentence. There are no homeless shelters in this valley open until the fall. I’d have to hitchhike somewhere that does and the thought is anxiety inducing!

I wish I knew someone else who has gone through something similar to me, maybe I’d get some hope or advice. The world terrifies me.

Truly, no progress of any sort was ever made in between the 1800s and 2000s in capitalist USA.

LLMs are horrible at a lot of things, but this is one area where they excel i’d guess. The things are trained on volumes upon volumes of spicy fanfic and roleplay chats posted for free online. They can probably cater to kinks that I don’t even know exist. Because the lonely aren’t seeking objective responses the hallucinations aren’t as obvious.

Not that it’s a good thing that they are okay at this though. I’d hate to find out a person got LLM induced psychosis from their fake AI gf.

I smoked my first blunt before turning on Fifteen Million Merits, my first episode of Black Mirror. Everyone online told me to watch it before Ep. 1.

My emotion was heightened by 10 fold from THC.

I hate this show so much I have watched every episode multiple times.

True joy does not exist to me anymore.

I am highly disappointed in otherwise intelligent people, who I align with repeat this tired response. I never said it was an organization, I know what antifa is and isn’t, and yeah I’m antifacist but this messaging and logic tells you you didn’t really want to address my comment. I said this fails to even attempt to reach the understanding of the average US citizen. If you think like this, and aren’t just repeating the responses you’ve seen online, I don’t think you understand people, period. Acting like antifa is not a modern movement that subscribes to an ideology and is something that is just to be expected of a good member of society is why people are easily convinced of the fascists attacks on the idea under that name and enables the messaging of the movement to be handwaved or persecuted.

I’m anti-entertaining that communicating this way is common sense.

antifacism seeks to disrupt the status quo. their messaging could be anything, national socialism wasn’t actually socialism. people don’t believe we are under fascist rule. all they see is a group of individuals seeking to disrupt the status quo and rock the boat which is analogous to terrorism. Hope you weren’t just being willfully ignorant, as understanding the mindsets of people who aren’t terminally online is important to actual change

this has only ever happened when i am horribly dehydrated from either caffeine or stimulants.

Okay not shy. Use private browsing on firefox sometimes. Not shy, just bisexual and don’t want my algorithm assuming I’m strictly homosexual because of one femboy wank. Do you know how long it takes to un-step sibling that thing for heterosexual porn?

Mastodon is nowhere as cool as the second half.

I’m a huge single player Final Fantasy fan, and while this game is highly regarded by people who play it, I regretted making a purchase on it.

If you are a fan of MMORPGs and want a Final Fantasy skin on yours, great this is probably for you. but as someone who hadn’t touched the genre since it was a novelty, I loathed playing this game. It feels more like a chore than a modern Final Fantasy entry. The story is so chopped up, my immersion is broken by the limitations of an MMORPG, that I couldn’t follow the supposedly great writing. The best part of the game for me was the fashion, social, and customization, but the cool stuff requires IAPs. The players who pay get an avatar to call their own, and your trial and base subscription tier character will be a clone of those wearing the common gear for that level of progress.

I would recommend not investing time in this game.

It is just bad Photoshop.

If we could just harness the raw power of the fiery ball of hatred people have towards AI without any provocation, we could probably power those data centers no prob!

The Humble NEET is not problematic.

Someone always says this like the intention being engagement bait doesn’t make it even worse.

When you accidentally bump into someone you say “watch where ya walkin’!”

I chock this one up to generational prejudice. Both are useful computers that can accomplish essentially the same thing.

“Phone bad” was already sentiment being pushed before smartphone ecosystems became enshittified.

Easy, just look for twins in the Bible belt.
