I love doing this with really famous people. Like someone will be watching a video about idk Elon Musk and I'd say "yeah this dude always goes to my house to ask for money and I always say no"

i'm so lucky that this turned out to be good. like if i gotta throw my whole weight behind it to get more work, its really convenient that its good

if we're being honest, the idea that writing a character from one's experiences as a cis woman precludes making that character transfem is itself a little transmisogynistic

a mediocre human writer stretches out a thin premise by adding things, going on tangents and spending too much time defining words and quoting people, an LLM stretches out a thin premise by just pulling on it like taffy

10000000 relatable memes raising awareness and 0 knowledge or understanding of the symptoms of autism nor the mechanics of systemic ableism

all movies about games should have kaiji ultimate survivor ass explanations of every tactical action in the game, there need not be a dichotomy between game logic and character/theme because games are themselves a medium for storytelling

I know they don't see me as a woman, obviously. they gender me correctly but if they saw me as a woman that'd mean i was a little girl too & they can't cross that bridge. a little girl growing up incapable of even seeing herself as a girl is too persuasively terrible, it spoils the whole game

like what if. in addition to being a lesbian or racialized or autistic or raped or groomed or bullied, u were also categorically excluded from being a girl. they always give up at this part, what if the transfem isn't vastly more privileged than you. are you stupid.

im starting to think that some people, before they read a post, start with the assumption that the writer must agree with them and then go from there, and its like no you have to actually read the post

like i got exposed to the discourse first, someone thinking that frankie might be transfem and dana urgently and coldly shooting it down & then seeing every TME person on the planet be like "gen z is trying to cancel eminem" and "isn't it more revolutionary for the masculine girl to be cis actually"

i forget which 20th century abstract artist said this, i think it was joan miro, but they lamented that music was the only medium where audiences readily embrace pure abstraction, whereas with visual art people expect direction and representation. i think thats why i like music

they're called "brilliant moves" because most people believe the objective of chess is to eat your opponent's pieces & so chess websites made a special label to help ppl remember you're supposed to checkmate the king

were you being responsible with your platform when you told me point blank that you knew many of the claims against me had been retracted and you were just doing what made your insiders feel comfy and then ceased all negotiation when you found out i would be putting a dent in your SEO

the level of vacuuousness achieved by LLMs is something you have to aim for, like it takes skill to imitate, ppl don't come pre-equipped with the ability to sound as if they are speaking their language without actually conveying any meaning

cant find that one reply that was like "its crazy how many people dont know penultimate means second to last and not super duper ultimate'

sorry. magic is cancelled. belief in the supernatural must be postponed until all financial incentives have been neutralized. fortune cookies can only have movie quotes on them now

just, imagine thinking you get to ask your kid for anything while you're subjecting them to the family. imagine using the word "entitled" to describe anything but yourself

brain cell reposted

"i didn't ask to be born" is a comeback that kids think up really early in response to the "i gave you life and changed your diapers" parental entitlement gambit, and unfortunately it is a bulletproof argument. like you can't put someone in debt by providing them a service they didn't ask for.

Here's the original post I was referencing. I think this post was mostly made out of anger and frustration, but it does make a bit of sense. (1/2)

we do not actually have to celebrate or even tolerate masculinity, it's not required. like, happy for you, but seek your masculine positivity from a group who isn't entirely made of lifelong victims of it maybe

yeah. i've found "it hurts too much, i just need it to stop" is pretty hard to defeat with facts and logic. and the way our culture is so dogmatically anti-suicide makes me distrustful of all the reasons people give not to do it.

fuck i just looked it up and i neeeed to play go

Patricia Taxxon@patriciataxxon.bsky.social

the fun thing abt chess is that go is basically the objectively superior ancient abstract strategy game which means i am choosing suffering for the benefit of it just being a stronger cultural connection to intelligence for arbitrary & probably xenophobic reasons

there's a friction i always rub against with new toddler show representations of autism, and thats that it seems like they're not allowed to address the horrible horrible fits that we're capable of

brain cell reposted

i think the thing ppl don't understand is that i am an intellectual & i don't hold opinions i cannot justify with logic so if i say something it's actually likely to be true by virtue of it being me who's saying it
