  A lot of things, apparently. He's been leaning further and further into it, and as it's caused his channel to fall off he's making pity me videos about how the sjw algorithm is out to get him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a samurai⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn't store a local copy of the specifics; it didn't seem worth occupying space with, but there's plenty of stuff around. I wasn't sure if you'd want a video, so here's text (apologies about the site but.)

  If you care, shadiversity went full chud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Obama Becoming President Make People Hide Their Racism?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how different things would be now if Roger Stone (still politically involved Roger Stone who was a major player in the last Trump administration and who has a back tattoo of Nixon) hadn't caused the Brooks Brothers Riot and fucked up the counting of votes in Florida allowing the supreme Court (whoch at the time had multiple clerks that Trump put on the court) to declare Bush the winner.

  Yeah, it's been all the same people, fucking stuff up, all along.

  I'm well aware, but we don't get to build an AGI and then figure it out, and we can't keep these ones on target, see any number of "funny" errors people posted, up to the paper I can't recall the name of offhand that had all of the examples of even simpler systems being misaligned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why you shouldn't believe the AI extinction lie⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I've been concerned about AI as x risk for years before big tech had a word to say on the matter. It is both possible for it to be a threat, and for large companies to be trying to take advantage of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally got access to the catholic AI⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't see what the problem is. I've definitely heard that with god, all things are possible, are we acknowledging that that's not the case here? Can god only do spells with specific ingredients? Kinda sounds like witchcraft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yep⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I hate it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨high energy⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, read through this thinking that from my perspective, NTs have some talents I don't, but since they're common people think of them as baseline rather than talents. Shit sucks.

  Acting your wage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would like you to consider the possibility that people can both disagree with someone's stances on issues like how to treat queer people, while at the same time not wanting those people to be shot, bombed, starved, etc. There are a lot of people in the world who would see me killed if they had power over me. I am not compelled by that to want them to die, and can in fact want them to live happy lives that last for as long as they want to keep living, without control over the sort of life I lead or how long it lasts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First day at The Daily Wire⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, can you back the part of that about Biden? Because it's a pretty common trope of how unaware white people will say someone "seems so articulate", I think it showed up in the first episode of The Boondocks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which is less religious: Xmas or Christmas?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Surprised nobody has posted Newtonmas. Celebrate a historical figure who had major impacts on our civilization by advancing science, and who was actually born on December 25!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for an actual left leaning Lemmy instance⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tolerance was and remains a peace treaty: you be tolerant, and we'll tolerate you. Once someone opts to break the treaty, they receive no further protection from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to read a book in a dark room?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Alreader, I believe on both android and iphone. I use it at a very low intensity level with red text and black background.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do "chest pillows" hurt for women to do?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When they were growing in it would have. Even laying down felt like getting knives in the nipples. It's fine for me now, though.

  Men really will do anything to avoid going to therapy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube comment deletion is out of control, can't say anything anymore even when completely sensible. Is there a text format (alternate characters) that allows you to bypass detection?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You don't need to post comments on youtube. You're asking for people to do you a favor. They're asking for more information before they do the favor. If you don't want to fulfill the requirements, fine, but quit trying to act self-righteous because you're willing to spend far more time trying to claim you don't need to answer the question than it would take to answer the question, and going to that much effort to obfuscate rather than elucidate, suggests that whatever it is you are hiding would be seen as bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Pelvic tilt is a pretty obvious one, part of why women have shapelier asses and also reduces height a little bit. Emotions definitely feel more accessible, although I have heard that trans guys also get some of that sometimes so that might have more to do with dissociating less, but I also get some urge to cry at stuff like... Last night I was watching a movie with my girlfriend and characters were talking about people they'd lost, and it was an effort not to cry.

  You can ask me literally anything you actually want to know about without losing points with me. Just be sure you want to know. There's a pretty good chance I'll answer and if you didn't want to know you might have regrets.

  Oh goddess does the temperature tolerance change. Turns out the fat distribution matters a lot for that!
  Also yeah there's a line in the first altered carbon book about how for men, skin is armor, and for women, a sensory organ, and it's a little exaggerated, but it's pointing at a real thing.

  Re personality: that's harder to judge, because you have so much going on. It's a major change in your life, you're altering how you and the world interact with each other, so it would be hard to avoid your personality going through a rock to mud transition and shifting, but I think there's definitely some shift towards social responsibility, yeah. Obviously there isn't an exact measurement, but I think it's pretty common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the right to abortion a "negative right" or a "positive right"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It's a negative right and the fetus doesn't have relevant rights. If both your kidneys fail and I have two that are a match, do you have a right to one of mine? That's the beginning and end of it. You don't have the right to anyone else's body, not even if you'll die without it. We can discuss whether it's morally virtuous to offer your body, whether or not you should, but nobody has the right to your body and you don't have the right to theirs.

  Could you please explain your understanding of being trans? Because what you're describing doesn't match what I've been told about the condition.

  We'll see it's like this:

  Trans people can die in the streets.

  No new wards needed!

  Yeah, if you've been around long enough the arguments are the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the difference between asking someone title or someone's pronouns ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, that's not fair. They had authority figures tell them to be afraid and hateful, they aren't waiting on it anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is woke a religion?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, with their mission trips, and their door to door no-jesus salesmanship, I hate having to deal with atheists always coming around trying to convince me that I don't need to believe in a god at risk of burning in hell forever. Fucking atheists.
