Newsflash; having rules & regulations on an online community against the use of targeted hate speech is *NOT* fascism. Disguising authoritarianism as "established law and order" in order to perpetuate and permit unrestrained targeted hate speech and hate crimes with no consequences *is* fascism.

My angle on AI.
Does AI have bad uses? YES!
Does AI have good uses? Yes, that too.
Do I think AI should be used for art?: NO! Rest assured, I agree with on *that* point*.
But, it *can* be used for other globally helpful things as augments, but NOT as replacements.
Machines are *tools*, not people.

I've said it many times before, and I'll gladly say it again: Human Rights are NOT POLITICAL ISSUES. And #TransRightsAreHumanRights . And if you are not actively and proactively a part the solution, including being neutral/silent, you are by default part of the problem, and my enemy. Period.

DEI is not just about race. Yes, race is a VERY IMPORTANT aspect of it. But remember, that the marginalised ultimately, unavoidably, inevitably INTERSECT. Race/ethnicity, faith (or not), nationality, gender, sexuality/romanticity/fidelity, ability, languages, etc. That is DEI. All of it. And more.

Another new confession/coming out from me - one of more *recent* development. I'm coming out that I've recently taken an interest, and identification, with puppy-play, and its relevant headspace. *BEFORE* you judge, make sure you have accurate info, as harmful stereotypes of it *do* perpetuate.

I've often told folks, I'm both scientifically minded, and spiritual (not religious). Spirituality to me is for the self. I.e. superheroes when we're kids; we think they're real, then find out, not so. Real or not, however, they often inspire us; they don't have to be real to do that.

Try this sometime (it's fun) when encountering a supposedly know-it-all conspiracy theorist.
Tell them you just drank a big glass of dihydrogen monoxide, and breathed in a whole bunch of dinitrogen dioxide, and watch their reaction.
(Psst. It's just non-salinated water, and dry air).

So, geometry is a thing for which I heavily enthuse. But here's a thought; without context, the word primitives can sound questionable. However, this is only because they would need an understanding enough of geometry to know that in such primitives only means "the most fundamental polyhedra".

#ActuallyAutistic 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals are not "just confused due to being Autistic". Being Autistic has nothing to do with being 2SLGBTQIA+, or vice-versa. And even if it did, SO WHAT?! It's still a Non-Issue. As it should be.

Remember:
- Captain America was created around the concept of fighting Hitler and the Nazis.
- Joker had an actual mental illness; with proper help, they probably wouldn't have been so chaotic.

Clarification:
I'm well aware that not all Autistic individuals have the opportunity or privilege of professional diagnosis. What I dislike is when people who know that they are not actually Autistic, use Autistic as a general catch-all adjective for weird/strange. There *is* a difference.

In regards to the occurence of the shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, let me state this for the record, I do *NOT* condone arbitrary violence. But I *also* do not condone corporate greed blatantly causing the death-by-effect of countless individuals. And that *is* the point being made here.
