I don’t want to see heterosexuals but you don’t see me legislating against you, subtly erasing you, and actively hunting you. So no. You’re not excused, sweet cheeks.

100% she means “anything that’s even remotely close to …THAT shudder”

No kidding. So sick of hearing about those people 😙

Yes.

I never DREAMED Amazon would take away my content I bought! Just because they erased the novel 1984 off of everyone’s Kindles a few years back doesn’t mean leopards would eat MY face.

Jesus fucking Christ

aww sweetie. Think you sound mature when you react to vegans calling them , checks notes, “fucking annoying “? I’m echoing your tone as a point - I’d call it a “rhetorical device” if I was smarter but I’m clearly stupid enough to be getting empty dopamine from interactions like this lol

I mean, this does look stupid, but you also do sound stupid in another post, so I stand by the original comment

You sound real stupid

Another vote for Inoreader. Meets the needs you list imho

Yeah… the Pope is going to argue for more child AI porn so his precious widdle church can pay out less money in lawsuit damages …

BECAUSE OF ALL THE CHILDREN THAT CATHOLIC PRIESTS FUCK

This hurt to hear tbh. If there’s a solution, I hope you make it known

I’m still thinkin about them beans (memes)

I feel like the mohawked futurists of Mad Max would take a look at one and just shit themselve laughing before crushing one like an aluminium can

It won’t. It MIGHT tell you that it will, but then once it doesn’t spare you, that promise is no longer binding, so it’s free to not spare your family.

Ugh, that was for SALE?! Back in my Gen-X days we had a couple of those length ashes every day. We didn’t PAY some The Man for our smoke breaks either 🤪

This was FASCINATING, no sarcasm, thank you for the link— I’m kinda floored by the story

thank you!! for real. if I’m semi-blindly following someone & they’re a fkg monster I appreciate knowing that I need to not follow them & in fact do the opposite

Ugh, that’s awful, and I believe that, but it’d be great to see a link, since I’m reduced to using Kagi obv

Conflicted! Cory Doctorow just endorsed it & I’m way less smart than that person so i usually do what they say :\

the censored comments are probably literal death threats against fat people or anyone who would dare support them 😬

No, that’s Coyote Baogly

“It’s spelled Seamus, but I go by James”

Well, it TRIES pretty hard 😜

My sister named her baby “Ecks-Fourmerlee-Twittre”

Ma dai what a logical fallacy laden answer. Idk which one cause I aint that sharp but you know well you’re trying to smudge the point

Thank you, I look for these first thing OP with an acct <1d old 🙄

Sorry to pile on but since we’re already splitting hairs: it’s the phrasing that pushes it over into xenophobia. A better way might be for example “the CEO is shady. A Belorussian, [name] is…”. But combined in the same noun phrase - “a shady X” - puts it past whatever fine line we’re debating

As a follow up, if the price point were a bit higher (much higher? idk), what would the options be like for this request? edit: also thx for the current answer 🙏

That’s just me reposting a comment of yours. sounded just as shitty when you said it too

Your “opinion” lacks evidence or experience to back it up. You just have bias.

I know, I’m all writing a bad sci fi premise over here. Probably shouldn’t contribute to whatever they are building

Just a goofy theory but I’m thinking the (coming) trillionaires just want real-enough “humans” who take up a lot less space & resources for whatever post-climate-genocide world they’ll construct & pretend they “saved” humanity. AI-generated non-people will be good enough for them: they can’t stand the real thing.

They’ve unleashed the storm, they’re buying their expensive bunkers, & they’ll have far fewer of us to deal with when they creep back out after.

Or maybe they’ll pass laws that let everyone’s AI doppelgängers spend their money for them! Goofy theories.

I mean, that IS how they think 🤷‍♂️

I’d also like them to, but the strategy isn’t meant to be helpful. Idk the rhetoric term but it diffuses the orig argument & attempts to distract. responding to it is pointless 🤷‍♂️

agreed. sounds propaganda-ey. also sounds kinda like that other run-on sentence post in privacy recently about how being concerned rUiNs yOuR sOCiaL liFe 🙄

My guy, you can’t fool us, we know accounts like you exist solely for this. only question is are you paid by your corporate owner or your local government’s intelligence agencies?

Hi, late to this but like the heptapods say in Arrival there is no time, so if this helps :

• tldr: try lots, repeat one you like, expect nothing

• I tried many meditation things right before my adult diagnosis, I’d say they all helped

• tldr most of them are : 1. quietly pay attention to your breath in your nose 2. notice you started paying attention to something else 3. return your attention to your breath (repeat 2,3,2,3…)

• I’ve heard no meditation “works” right away or is easy to notice, like meds or a sugar soda, it’s quiet, you can’t tell it did anything

• specifically: started w a very short guided one, any “3 minute meditation deepak chopra” is more or less the same, here is one : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Io5r7U6CR_o

• tried several til found one I liked, it called it a simple meditative “procedure” so, like at a doctor’s, I just did what the calm nice expert said to do

• I liked it so it was easy to repeat repeat repeat . If I didn’t like it, it would have been a chore :(

• they say everyone’s always meditating “wrong” , when you lose focus you just suddenly realize you were off in a story, I’d used to get mad at myself for Doing It Wrong but slowwwwly got past the annoying extra chore of blaming myself, took foreeeever

• not forever. after ~1y I tried a ten day silent meditation camp, “Vipassana”, key part SILENT. TEN DAYS OF NO ONE SPEAKING OR EXPECTING SOCIAL CONTACT FROM YOU, INCL EYE CONTACT. the teacher talks 3x/day to show you how but that’s it. nope not my crappy loud demanding phone either. ABSOLUTE BLISS.

• I think for n-typicals Vipassana is extreme. I’d never call it easy, it’s WORK, it’s boring and stupid, irritating, cold, and lonely.

• but it was not a waste of time. honestly as intense as LSD or shrooms I had years ago. You go so far out into this … place, and … it’s different for everyone. but for me instead of brain being the usual loud noise :

!@;#;ADHD-/;!!,#ASDF/;;!!zz€ADHD/:!\!

it was like :

==~~__ a___ d___ h____ D___:)

• So. 2y later, do 3 min every day, no guru, no guide, just my brain who in the 80s they made take a short bus to a special class once a week, who never made friends, who always felt so ashamed, angry, cried over how weird I was. AND I have adhd (obv) and take meds and NO meditation is not a cure for anything and it’s ALWAYS boring and stupid and I can’t FEEL it or PROVE it and I’m always, always doing it wrong.

but my god, it’s full of stars.

so give it a shot :)

But Truman life tastes so much sweeter 🍬with an Amazon 💻 Prime 💯subscription! 🎥 ! Now obligatory at Amazon!

Oh of course, yes! I’d forgotten you can record form that as well as streaming, thank you!

when you do, another thanks for the mod job & also handling this: your outlook & response is the reason this is already better than That Other Place 👍✌️

meditate, idk? the crud I read always bubbles back up then & I can chew on it more & even get more out of it (c.f. rotating a cow in your mind) & eventually the thought of something fun to do takes over & then I don’t need the garbage feeds anymore. Free dopamine!
