  • He just loves Roman history

    As I said, a history nerd.

    WW2 history

    Uh…what ? So still a nerd but for some reason we’re making a leap between ancient history and WW2 and skipping over all the medieval history content he’s posting. Sure, I guess.

    the space fascist future of 40k

    So a massive nerd. Painting tiny figurines under a magnifying glass and battling other nerds with measuring tape is top tier nerd shit not pining for fascism shit, although these people exist and are extra visible when they reveal themselves I’ve yet to meet one IRL in 26 years interacting with 40K nerds.

    and criticizing the past sins of socialism more than the rise of fascism while completely ignoring all sins of capitalism. It’s fine I’m sure. Just a turbolib. He believes in democracy. Probably.

    So he never said or done anything warranting to insult the guy of being far right, but you imply he might be guilty of thought crime for not showing enough leftist credentials to satisfy your own personal standards. And somehow this whole gratuitous character assassination is ok because you made it quippy at the end ? Yikes.



  • Everyone who voted for Harris demonstrated that genocide was not a deal-breaker for them. Gazans being starved, tortured, and killed was not a red line for them. And yet they pretend that this position gives them the moral high ground to condemn others, as you’re doing here.

    but that anger should be directed towards the Democratic establishment: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and all the rest who enabled a genocide.

    You like to point fingers don’t you. Everyone but yourself. Not you, no, you were the true brave champion of justice for Palestine when you cast that Jill Stein ballot knowing full well she had NO CHANCE of winning. But your actions, and everyone else’s who didn’t push against trump getting re-elected, now have consequences, and those consequences are dire for palestinians. Now the genocide is on steroids, and I don’t remember hearing one word of protest about it from this corrupt administration even as a formality. But I do remember reading very recently about starving refugees from gaza being barred from getting asylum and entry in the US with one phonecall from that ghoul Laura Loomer who was gloating about it.

    Yours and the collective inaction against the re-election of trump also have dire consequences for Ukraine, for Europe, for the world and US economy, for the environment, for people getting kidnapped, sequestered and deported to Salvadoran prisons by ICE, for scientific research, and democracy in general. Yes the Democratic establishment is guilty of its share of blame, but do not delude yourself, there’s plenty of responsibility to go around. You helped make this. So take your share of responsibility. Own it. It’s yours.

    I understand why you’re angry

    No you do not. Otherwise you would stop trying to paint yourself as some hero of justice and just shut up about the bad choice you made that was motivated by your bad fucking take.




  • Conversations I’ve had about AI turned out disappointing and left me feeling like I was the crazy one. When I try to point out the very real issues with the use of AI, like the unreliability of the answers/outputs, the unethical sourcing of data, the environmental impact, just to name a few; people look at me or flat out try to explain to me that I’m some sort of luddite opposed to the technological advancement of humanity. "You don’t understand, it’s nothing more than another invention like the telephone or electricity. People were also scared back then because they didn’t understand how it worked, but now everything’s fine " was all I got in return last time, after taking 5 minutes to detail exactly why the generalized use of AI is problematic. Everything I tried to explain ignored and brushed off with a “you’re just being hysterical” deflection. To me it feels like people who embraced AI are entrenched in their opinion and it seems a waste of my time to try to raise the concerns I have with them. Some seem moved by the greed of the effortless riches/solutions they believe AI will bring them, others just by laziness, as long as they don’t have to write their 5 sentences emails they don’t give a fuck about anything else. Other than waiting for it to turn to shit, and try to meditate the frustration away or something, I don’t really know what else to do at this point.
