anyway i'm going to watch more stupid shit on youtube to try and forget the innumerable hordes of "radical" "anarchist" etc. dudes on here who are all about politics and political philosophy until they encounter something which they have been using against others, at which point baby will never give up his blankie unless you really really grovel and give him some candy, but he wants his blankie to continue hurting people with waaaa, god give me fucking STRENGTH.
and, quite frankly, of course it's always a fucking vegan. good to know you'll go to bat for a fruitfly while leaving your fellow humans in the dust because those icky disableds need to be out of sight, out of mind, and they're certainly out of YOUR mind because They Don't Exist In The Perfect New Anarchist Radical World :) Now Why Don't You Go Away, Icky Loud Disabled? So Gross!
tldr
fuck off with all that my dudes.
did i pop off there? yeah
however, it's frankly fucking amazing how many people go "i'm a leftist :) i'm an anarchist :) i don't believe in structures that say one human is more valuable than the next :)"
then they show disabled people don't exist in their worlds at all
and when reminded, wow look at all those structures of Good Good Disableds versus Bad Disables (Who Shouldn't Be Wasting Oxygen) that just come pouring fucking forth
anyway if we ever meet irl i now owe @InspectorCaracal a drink and/or at least 30 uninterrupted continuous seconds to beat me about the head and shoulders (pool noodle will be provided upon request for this)
this is NOT SUBTLE MAKEUP and YOU CAN TELL YOU'RE WEARING LASHES
however i think all fake lashes are going to be like that to varying degrees
i'm gonna keep them on for a bit to see how they wear, see if it bothers me to wear them for a few hours, stuff like that. so far, though, not bad!
so today's Adventures In Makeup (selfies, cw for eye contact) (first one looks weird because it was without flash/fill lighting from phone lol)
i think the magnetic eyeliner is going to work really well! especially if i can trim a bit on the ends. it doesn't want to stay magnetized at the tips but i think that's because those are two points where i haven't applied it as well. also you can squidge it back down as needed if it starts getting weird
me, 10 minutes ago: okay, as long as i'm careful, this magnetic eyeliner should be great! just don't get any in my actual eye, and -
my hand: oh in your actual eye? in your waterline? is that what you wanted? because that's where we're going!
anyway when i get this to work finally please only look at my left eye. thank you
anyway i try to not comment/boost bc it's not quite my place, but know that whenever you post about how spiro sucks, transfemmes, this cishet with pcos is in full agreement and nodding along to y'all all PREACH.
i mean it's not a horrible medication but it's one of those "side effects are not annoying enough to look for alternatives, but definitely annoying"
@wigglytuffitout That last point can't be emphasized enough. **IT'S HAPPENING NOW**. People got all up in arms about the racist webcam years ago, but what they don't realize is that that racist webcam's cousin is now making important decisions in areas like the court system or the housing system. And it's not much better about not being racist. If anything, it might just be a bit worse.
note: i think these are completely different snakes because there are too many of them in mgs. i am led to believe there is fully I'M TIRED OF THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING TIMELINE in effect
also i may have written snake ragging on otacon for having a fursona, but you know as soon as he comes home, he's going to stand in the doorway all gravel-voiced going HHHNGHN... COULD YOU... HELP ME MAKE MINE TOO PLEASE
and that's how the Diamond Dogs logo was born.
it's just snake's fursona.
trust me, Hideo Kojima called me up and told me all of this, despite the fact that i have never played a single mgs game
quit worrying about if AI is going to be creating new consciousness
start worrying about AI learning how to enforce things like redlining and the glass ceiling
worry about it because *it's happening now*.
basically if people would just carve off 5% of the sci-fi panic and anxiety and spend that energy being legitimately concerned about how if you tell a computer "learn the rules of this game", the rules it will come back to report to you will be dripping with systemic inequality that must be directly confronted instead of excused or praised as infallible because "a passionless computer did it"
we'd all be much better off
WHAT PEOPLE THINK ETHICAL ISSUES IN AI ARE: wow.... we're creating... new life........
WHAT ETHICAL ISSUES IN AI ACTUALLY ARE: techbros worshiping the almighty algorithm, not caring to look at what bad patterns the machines are picking up (racism, sexism, etc) and how to avert them, and overreliance on neural networks meaning that said algorithms are treated as magical black boxes where nobody wants to (or can, really) point out exactly how the equation works (and why it may be faulty)
