- Comment on Are there any ways to reverse AI brainrot and force myself to do any creative endeavor, even if inspiration didn't strike? 7 hours ago:
To paraphrase a line: art doesn’t come from you, it comes through you. AI brainrot comes from isolation and regurgitation of tired tropes. Exist in society. Be among others, let their art wash through you and your experiences, and your inspiration will take shape.

I haven’t figured it all out, obviously, and don’t know exactly the right way to talk about this stuff, but I know this framing is wrong, because when viewed from a certain angle, one could look at any medication for chronic illness this way. I think addiction is a symptom of broader systemic illness, in the same way as body weight correlates inversely to elevation (and hence positively with both toxin accumulation and poverty), or how other diseases corelate with the stress we’re put through.

Kinda suits it, with the title, right?

What the fuck is the matter with you? The man threatens to wipe a country off the map and can do it and you say “chicken”!?
- Comment on How will you celebrate? 5 days ago:
Yeah you have a point I don’t think I’d come at someone IRL like that over wanting to celebrate Trump’s death. I just…don’t feel any victory in that moment and already hear centrists gearing up for another right wing democrat president taking everyone’s attention.
- Comment on How will you celebrate? 5 days ago:
I guess take a long nap to get ready for all you fucking libs to go back to brunch and forget there’s still an empire to fight.
- Comment on How do trains save fuel when they literally park on the tracks and block multiple intersections, with over a hundred vehicles steady burning gas all around waiting for the train to fucking move? 1 week ago:
Like yeah it’s bad. The people who run the train company don’t give a fuck about you or the workers who are being held responsible for way more train than is safe for longer than is safe for them to be working. Oh and they always have to be on call 24/7.
It’s not the train’s fault, it’s capitalism. Take the trains back, let the workers run them safely and efficiently, and this won’t happen.

Lol wtf
- Comment on The Three Stooges are back on TV 2 weeks ago:
Trump’s a lot older than Vance. Maybe he was 6’3" once and has settled enough to bring him down to 6’1" but still says his full height.

What? Why? What changed?

Also if you try to spend the night in a station in America a guy with a gun will kindly see you back into the cold
- Comment on The Gang Solves Climate Change 3 weeks ago:
EVs will not solve climate change. Only a low-enenrgy use scenario is sustainable. We have so much more to do than just drive a different kind of car and people are not organizing this sort of effort enough.
- Comment on Shoutout to yall 3 weeks ago:
My thoughts are sort of like inverse broken windows. Make it have vibes that make the gentrifiers not wanna be around.
- Comment on Shoutout to yall 3 weeks ago:
- That’s not a very convincing argument.
- …within the context of what I said that would be a compliment? Thanks, I guess.
- Comment on Shoutout to yall 3 weeks ago:
Littering in certain spaces is a counter-gentrification force that reminds people of the waste in our society. Change my mind

In double-blind studies, the test administrators are made unaware which sample is real vs. placebo
- Comment on Is ironing clothes significantly less common now? 1 month ago:
I think it has to do with the materials clothes are made out of typically being more wrinkle resistant these days. No one ever liked ironing so as people were developing new textiles they had an eye towards that.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 2 months ago:
Actually this is pretty good evidence they haven’t started doing that yet. There would be leaks.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 2 months ago:
I’m not sure that your second point is still a constant, though this is just an opinion and I’m open to discussion on this. They seem to have solved the problem of people not being up to mass killings, through desensitization through social media (I’m thinking of telegram groups specifically). There have been a lot of cases shown recently of people taking outright glee in their and others’ grotesque murders, en masse.
- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 2 months ago:
Pretty sure the second half of what I said covers that and again my advice is to ask a professional who is supportive of and experienced in helping people deal with these sorts of thoughts
- Comment on Correlation equals causation 2 months ago:
Yeah but like the thing that causes addiction is poverty (or some other unmet needs or trauma) so it doesn’t really matter.
- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 2 months ago:
I’m just gonna come out and say what other people seem to be dancing around. These are things that a trans man would say. Not saying that’s necessarily the case for you but like it’s probably worth trying to find someone affirming and professional to discuss dysphoria with.

- Comment on Where's my JUUL? 3 months ago:
Yeah, drugs aren’t a good coping mechanism for trauma in general?
- Comment on Where's my JUUL? 3 months ago:
I don’t use, personally, though I have had opiates for acute pain as most people have. I’m just not a judgemental asshole. Opium isn’t the problem, fent is.
- Comment on Where's my JUUL? 3 months ago:
Poverty and trauma makes peoples faces gaunt and haggardly and destroys lives. Heroin addiction is one of many other potential symptoms of poverty and trauma. Plenty of people use opiates and opioids medically and recreationally to no ill effects. The drugs are a comfortable scapegoat for people who care more about maintaining their personal status quo than the ability for other people to survive.
