/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • Every new thing they put behind a lock is another recession indicator.

  • Democrats hate their base.

  • Unless the government generates a new token every time you log on to the internet, eventually data collection will de-anonymize the token. Any unique information will always become identifiable with enough data collection.

  • Piefed is for people who didn't think lemmy.world was reddity enough.

  • The majority inherit their land.

  • Don’t want to do even that? Then stop getting fast food.

    That's exactly right. Being against tipping as a concept is fine, but the idea that we can end tipping culture by refusing to tip is fundamentally accelerationist. "Surely if we torture the workers enough they'll be forced to demand higher wages!"

    Either we refuse to even be customers for places that underpay their workers, or we tip generously to try to make up for it.

  • I should finish reading The Fort Bragg Cartel

    Seems relevant.

  • I don't think the politics of the porn can actually address the root problem, which is that we're seen as inherently pornographic. It's probably less bad for the porn to have good politics, but I don't know if that's actually the best solution to the problem. We need a lot more non-pornographic representation, but we probably also need less pornographic representation along with it.

    The politics of the porn might even be irrelevant to the problem, because the problem is that our existence is X-rated. Whether the porn has good or bad politics won't actually change whether or not they believe we need to be kept away from children.

  • That won't work until the next census, right? I don't think representatives are allocated based on a live running tally of the population.

  • Need a mock execution set of my dice to remind them of their place.

  • The right-wing wants to ban us from public life because they believe a woman having a penis is inherently pornographic, because that's literally their only exposure to us. It's not just about the euphemism treadmill, the way porn portrays us is actively making our lives worse. We're overly sexualized to the point that they believe they need to protect their children from us. It is dehumanizing.

    Porn doesn't have to be this way, but to fix it there would need to be a total transformation of the entire industry and media landscape. It's a serious problem and no one wants to confront it, because they like their porn and don't want to give anything up.

  • I'm against the LLM bubble. They're gobbling up all of our compute, electricity, water, and basically all investment capital while not even generating productivity gains or improving anyone's lives. Internet search is now dead, all my fan communities are just full of slop instead of art from artists, and the piggies that own the data centers are destroying all culture to feed their autocomplete machines. LLMs have accelerated the decay of civilization in a way that we might struggle to recover from when the bubble pops. Half the time it's not even AI, the real work is just outsourced to some superexploited workers in the Global South.

    There are some legitimate use-cases for LLM technology, but the way they're trying to cram it into everything is actually just wrecking everything. It seems like they're destroying the world for a worse calculator that can pretend to be your girlfriend.

  • They have a fundamentally comprador character too, because the CIA/state department/special operations cohort uses them for plausible deniability and to launder money. You could say the function of the so-called "war on drugs" and this new focus on "narco-terrorism" only exist to create cartels and mafiosos, who can then be used to further imperial ambitions.

  • I suspect between the tomatoes and the vinegar and the citrus it's more acidic, which hits some tummies different.

    Although the only pepper to ever really hurt my tummy was bhut jolokia. It's just so sweet and delicious!

  • "I, Charlie Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done."

  • You just aren't eating enough chilies and beans. Once you eat as many as I do your body just gets used to it.

    If my date isn't used to eating a diet that consists mostly of chilies and beans it probably isn't going to work out. 😔

  • I'd just do anything from the Vice City soundtrack, because I think I memorized every radio station as a teen lol

  • I have made more tortillas!

    Letting them sit a little longer to hydrate seems to have helped a lot, as did letting my pan heat up more. Unfortunately my pan now has a bunch of burned dough crusted onto it and is going to have to soak for a while before I scrub it. Might have gotten it too hot?

    They're really good, and don't seem to flake apart or crack anymore when I roll them!

    A recent argument forced me to see that "genocide" has been turned into an imprecise word, and I don't know what to do about that?
