The uncomfortable truths I was referring to was a culture of anti male sexism in parts of the democratic party, as well as a consistent minimization of issues affecting young men.x

this is basically the only thing they post about, what the fuck

I swear I need to stop reading Lemmy. Every second I stay on here is a second I get closer to staying home on election day out of pure spite.

hello fellow democrats all this anti-male sexism in our party is making me want to not vote haha am I right or am I right????

it definitely deserves a longer form article sometime! it’d be very informative to look into how proto-TESCREAL (cyberlibertarian) influences shaped attitudes on psychedelics (including my own) and find the point where the idea of taking psychedelics went from “they’ll make you a better (more egalitarian/antifascist) person” to “they’ll make you a more efficient capitalist monster”.

there are important overarching questions too — how long have fascist groups used psychedelics as an effective tool for indoctrination and control? why do some indoctrination attempts involving psychedelics succeed and others have the opposite of the intended effect? I’ve got the gut feeling that the answers to those questions tie in with the change in ideals I mentioned.

oh finally, AaaS

mine’s xsetroot -solid black so I don’t get a flash of the 80s in the moments before emacs loads and tiles its windows across my displays

it used to be a color I stole from the Amiga’s boot ROM for diagnostic purposes (I was going to do something like the Amiga’s diagnostics for my setup, where you could tell roughly what was broken by the color of the screen) and really I should revisit that one day

I really hope the complexity doesn’t make it a no-go for Lego — honestly this is one of the only times I’d be in support of custom pieces if it makes assembly easier or the machine more durable

I haven’t really engaged with Lego at all since I got into 3D printing, but them going “fuck it we’ll do mechanical computation” would definitely pull me back in. this is exactly the kind of thing that’d be a major pain to do with printed parts, where consistent and durable standardized parts would do a lot better

you can’t just put me at financial risk like this

it’s so long I was going to delete it and spare us the eyesore, but what I read was fucking fractally wrong so I’ll leave it up to the thread — delete or leave it up for dissection?

holy fuck nobody fucking asked you to write ten fucking paragraphs of absolute horseshit about why you won’t just read the fucking article

and nobody fucking asked you to make every part of your post wrong either, but here we fucking are!

y’all really will do anything to avoid just reading the fucking article

I swear I keep seeing Amazon ads in this same icky dehumanizing “cute” style, like some of the annoyance-based ads I vaguely remember from when I still had cable TV. is this just what ads become every time a corporation decides you have no other choice? (yes, almost every time)

correct me if I’m reading this wrong — the results are that LLMs are much, much worse than classical AI at planning block placement for SHRDLU? that seems pretty damning

do tell
