No, you’re right, I’m sleep deprived as shit right now lol

I only watch shorts from creators who I know generally make quality long form content (Red Nile NileRed, Miniminuteman, etc); then it’s usually something that actually is a short topic they wanted to present, not something they’re just trying to cram as much into it as possible in 60 seconds.

Any burrito that I can fall asleep eating (while stoned!) is insufficiently delicious

I’m talking about how Catholic priests can legally refuse to report child abuse revealed to them in confessional in most states, the subject of this post.

If what you need is a constant stream of ever-changing imagery that you don’t glance at for more than a second or two before moving on, I’m sure AI is great for that. So are jangling keys and those slime ASMR videos. But if that’s what you want from viewing or making art, you are an alien to me.

Do the Boy Scouts have a legally protected mechanism to talk with each other about their child fucking that I’m not aware of?

If you were born before 1989 in the US, this is your reminder to either find your childhood vaccination records or get your antibody titers checked. Before 1989 a single MMR vaccine was considered full protection, and something like 8% of people don’t achieve immunity from a single vaccine (falls to like 2% with 2 vaccines).

Congratulations. You fell for propaganda by stupid framing.

No, you just don’t like their conclusion. The article explains what confessional is, which only alters your opinion of the case if you care more about the religious ‘right’ of a child fucker to talk about their child fucking in secret with someone who promised to not tell than you care about the wellbeing of the child victim.

Your lawyer line of reasoning is also based on a misconception: that attorney-client privilege universally extends to knowledge of child abuse, outside representing a client specifically on child abuse. This isn’t the case, there are states where attorney-client privilege doesn’t apply in this scenario. Bar associations in general also allow breaking confidentiality if they have reasonable belief that someone is going to be seriously harmed or killed.

In context, she’s portrayed as dumb for it and specifically said she was going to vote communist because the guy was handsome. It’s not very flattering to her, and IIRC she changes (or is implied to consider changing?) her vote to Bush at the end.

Now, what I actually WOULD consider a woke episode for the time was the episode about Dale’s dad being gay and working in the gay rodeo. This was 2 years before Bush’s re-election bait was to say he wanted to add an amendment to the US Constitution to outlaw gay marriage.

Also the episode where Peggy winds up making friends with drag queens because of her enormous feet.

Yeah, I was a kid when SNL was still airing those skits and they didn’t feel enlightened to me at all. Like, this is the same show that “joked” that Brandon Teena (who was already known to be murdered at that point) deserved to die for reporting his rape. Like, not as a shocking thing a heel would say, just a crass joke. It was hilarious to people then, that’s the environment It’s Pat is in.

The 90s were fucked up, y’all.

If you’re coding or whatever this is fine. But I would really, really like my doctors and engineers to be educated by other doctors and engineers.

You frame that as if the same can’t happen if you use AI. At least if you actually do the work you have the knowledge and the ability to research.

I’m old enough to have voted when that was airing and had completely forgot that it actually said ‘steal’ and not ‘download’, lol

Frankly any society that embraces this sort of thing should collapse, because the alternative is too disturbing.

This might be me being too pessimistic about it, but I feel like this is an offshoot of the ‘NT snap-judgements of autistic people tend to be more negative’ tendency that’s been found repeatedly in studies. When you have a huge amount of negative interactions and bullying due to behavioral differences you might not even be aware or in control of, of course it’s going to make you hypervigilant and try to prevent it.

Can’t wait to see all the exciting ways this fucks up people’s computers.

Something I heard from a wildlife photographer recently: you would be shocked by how much animals rest. Like, any time they can they just lay around. Barring certain seasonal events (like raising young or taking advantage of food), resting is almost all they do. You’re an animal too, and you shouldn’t feel bad if you need to spend hours or days resting.

The obsession with constantly working and being productive is a Protestant brain worm, not a natural state of humans. Take care of yourself and rest when you can if your body or mind is telling you that you need it.

Anything built in California today has to meet certain standards for earthquake resistance, if it didn’t meet those it wouldn’t get built.

Very glad that my dumb ass probably has like 10% less plastic in my brain than most people my age because I never smoked out of cans. Thanks, paranoid teen me!

Oops, I guess I was a little too spicy. I agree, we don’t need AI, and using the tools of billionaires instead of real art by human artists is at best misguided and at worst actively harming the people you purportedly want to help.

I don’t blame people for reposting it when they don’t realize it’s AI, it can be hard to tell.
