@silverwizard My mind immediately went to "Cult of the Dad Chat"

If you are a journalist and you repeat someone's claims/assertions/denials uncritically, then you're not a journalist - you're someone's PR bitch.

Inside you, there are two wolves. Please stop eating the wolves.

@molly0xfff And I'm back

And yeah why wouldn't an AI be queer by human standards?? lol

@molly0xfff It's been forever since I read those books (or even saw the movie) but you can bet your butt I'm going to the wiki right away

@abolisyonista Exactly, and (to my mind, anyway) in some ways it might seem like a giant pause button on society (or even a step or two "backwards" when it comes to true luxury items a la 4K screens) while we figure out how to fix things or do them sustainably instead of prioritizing growth for its own sake, or products that fill a need that only exists in the mind or didn't exist at all until the "solution" was created

And I'll readily admit, I'm not the one with the solution to a lot of those things. It'll take people smarter and more educated than me in a lot of fields to figure it all out. And there's no shame in that. No one should expect society to be flawlessly rebuilt by any one person or even any one group of people. That's not realistic and I hate the people that play "Gotcha" because someone (or maybe even everyone) hasn't figured out a solution to a problem yet. But if you go up to someone who supports the current systems of power and ask them "ok what's the solution to the 100+ ongoing ecological crises that humans are directly responsible for?" and suddenly not knowing isn't a Gotcha anymore

@abolisyonista Anarchists that want to use the same unsustainable techniques and methods as capitalists confuse the shit out of me.

"If you can't replicate the system we're trying to dismantle, obviously you're an amateur who doesn't know anything."

Here my simple ass was thinking the idea was to replace those systems, not keep them but with "good people" in charge
