The biggest con in contemporary politics is Gender-Conservatives calling trans women perverts and rapists while constantly, and I mean constantly innovating new ways to sexually harass us on a mass scale.

I'd say this is a new twist on an old classic but the CIA has been manufacturing killers for decades so it's really just the same old twist on the same old classic

Christian colonizers famously never produced piles of dead children in the name of their God.
![[screenshot from 'The American Conservative' with some text highlighted]
Whatever good was present at the Ossossané ossuary—where those who had not yet encountered the fullness of Truth honored their dead as best they knew how—is increased a thousandfold in the cemeteries of the residential schools, where baptized Christians were given Christian burials. Whatever natural good was present in the piety and community of the pagan past is an infinitesimal fraction of the grace rendered unto those pagans’ descendants who have been received into the Church of Christ. [begin highlight] Whatever sacrifices were exacted in pursuit of that grace—the suffocation of a noble pagan culture; an increase in disease and bodily death due to government negligence; even the sundering of natural families—is WORTH IT. [end highlight]
It must be, else two millennia of Christian civilization, in which oceans have been bridged, wars waged, continents conquered, and the lives of a million Jean de Brébeufs given in service to the Lord’s final commandment—Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.—all has been for nought.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7soh2zyx7vqj37ngempaec4d/bafkreicaasekhxx7uemusqy5iognhjfh7y6grptdkyctpdp5x5f42p5m4y@jpeg)

isn't it funny how right after a judge said deploying the national guard in DC was illegal, a big shocking related spectacle event happens out of nowhere to justify sending even more troops into the city?

It feels worth mentioning that Graham Linehan’s harassment literally continued in the courtroom, as he repeatedly misgendered Sophia, and referred to her as “Tarquin”, a fictional deadname he made up for her as part of his harassment campaign. The judge was complicit in this harassment happening.
I wonder if I spent all day, every day, for years, calling Graham Linehan - or the judge - a nonce and then, when I saw him in the street screamed it in his face and smashed his phone, would a judge find I had done no harassing?
And that's not even factoring in the age of his victim

"I DNF first-person books if I can't relate to the protagonist" is a kind of illiteracy.
The point of first person is not to insert yourself into a narrative. You are supposed to experience and empathize with the perspective of a character that is intended to be fully fleshed out.

This. Everyone sees themselves as the protagonist. Everyone has the same potential, complexity, hopes and fears, regardless of how they present. You might not like how they present, but it doesn’t make them any less human.
99% of Discourse could be avoided if people simply accepted that multiple things can be true at the same time, and often are. The universe isn't divided neatly into heroes and villains. Humans are messy and complicated. Everyone always thinks they're the good guy, no matter how awful they are.

the thing i keep thinking about is how michelle carter was found guilty for the death of conrad roy because she encouraged him to kill himself via text messages. which is... this is exactly what chatgpt is doing to people. at scale.
“OpenAI’s court filing argued that the harms in this case were at least partly caused by Raine’s ‘failure to heed warnings, obtain help, or otherwise exercise reasonable care,’ as well as the ‘failure of others to respond to his obvious signs of distress.’”
OpenAI denies allegations that ChatGPT is to blame for a teenager's suicide
Adam Raine's family sued the AI company in August. On Tuesday, OpenAI said in a new court filing that it isn't responsible for the teen's death.
