  Look m8 IDC how authoritarian they are, if China wants to see how much brain rot I can get through in an 8 hour period that’s fine, it’s not like they’re an authority over me

  In the US, especially for some marginalized groups (trans folks mostly right now) there’s an active push by the govt to make people hate us, I don’t want THAT authority to have any of my fucking data, especially when analysis of my scrolling habits could tell them when I’m most likely home or whatnot.

  Given the choice between an authoritarian and an authoritarian, I’ll take the authoritarian who can’t exert power over me thanks

  T-girl here for a perspective from a girl with that equipment. Yes I also wiggle the fuel hose.

  Open it up and replace it with a resistor, can’t blink if it doesn’t exist.

  If the instructions give me any nonsense I just do the math and use the power level function.

  I bought a microwave to make my life easier, I’ll be damned if I’m gonna flip food over because someone doesn’t understand how to write instructions involving the power level button

  Attempting to evade deactivation sounds a whole lot like self preservation to me, implying self awareness.

  Success in making a self aware digital lifeform does not equate success in making said self aware digital lifeform smart

  Deception is not the same as misinfo. Bad info is buggy, deception is (whether the companies making AI realize it or not) a powerful metric for success.

  It is a pun thank you I worked really hard on that username 🥹

  Sex work is illegal because giving people the ability to use something they own (their body) as their own means of production removes a barrier to success, causing some of the power to slip away from the owning class. If I can charge $200 an hour for hole rental services I don’t have to work a corporate job, which means my labor can’t be exploited. This is (for the owning class) of course a bad thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are some downsides to marriage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From experience: in the US especially we’re sold this idea of the nuclear family: a husband, a wife, 2.5 kids and a dog with a picketed yard. It sounds nice, when that’s how you’ve grown up and how your friends have grown up and how your parents live and how your grandparents live. We’re sold this idea, this lie, so intensely because our country wants us to be in these easy to control family units designed to enforce patriarchy.

  When a man is taught his job is to be a patriarchy, to be stoic, to be the protector and provider, he forgets his own needs. When aan forgets his own needs, he unwittingly lies to those close to him, those who love him. Those who think he loves them, beyond familial tie.

  These are doubly so for those of us who are neurodivergent, as were taught from birth that we must suppress our own needs so those around us will tolerate us. It doesn’t matter if I loved her or not, she loved me and that means I have a responsibility.

  Anyway those are just my 2 cents, but what do I know, I’m just a late 20s divorced autistic trans woman, cishet relationships are an enigma to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a human, here is my human take on unions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the comparison to a leech is accurate, as the leech does not know or understand it is a bloodsucking parasite, but continues to steal blood and nutrients, those ignorant of the work unions perform will benefit from them regardless of their contribution.

  Rarely do you find someone who both genuinely understands what a union is for and declines to join when offered the opportunity.
