You don't have to explain yourself to me, you're doing GREAT

fluorescentbrains:

i think popular media culture is poisoned in the following ways:

• if you like something, people will make fun of you because you have admitted to experiencing a sincere emotion. this makes people defensive about what they like.
  
• if you don’t like something, people will take your opinion personally and attack you. this makes people feel like they have to have a very good reason to dislike something.
• people reach for reasons to like vs dislike things that are serious and often politically relevant so they can defend themselves from other opinion-havers.
• these positions mutually reinforce each other until it is assumed that any declaration of liking or disliking something is both personally and politically relevant by default.
• i am forced to look at this every time one of my fandom posts blows up.

I can’t begin to express the difference it makes just that I’m able to wear exclusively t-shirts, baggy shorts, and flip-flops. And the thing is, right. What you notice is that I’m wearing something slightly odd for the weather. What you don’t notice is that I’m not curled up with my hands clamped over my ears because socks make the clinking plates in the restaurant too loud.

Next time transphobes call trans healthcare “experimental” you can show them this

ALT

penicillin was first discovered in 1928; vaginoplasty is less experimental

ibuprofen was first discovered in 1961; phalloplasty and HRT are less experimental

Adderall was first applied as an ADHD treatment in 1994; puberty blockers are less experimental

would also like to note that every single one of these procedures and treatments has been through rigorous testing usually both on animal models and humans in order to be approved as safe and effective by the FDA and not a single one is considered experimental. just in case anyone tries to be like “well HPV vaccines and Adderall are also bad”

Report: Potential NYT lawsuit could force OpenAI to wipe ChatGPT and start over

OpenAI could be fined up to $150,000 for each piece of infringing content.

Ars Technica

Well, this would be interesting…

This will be amazing, though!

Just think about it:

We are in the era after it caused SO MUCH, and caused so many sites to put in blocks and other restrictions to stop it from scraping everything

If they are forced to wipe their entire dataset then they won’t be able to get even a fraction of it back!

Not only that, but they would be forced to get permission of the owners for everything they use. Which would IMO, actually kill most of the issues with AI and actually make the technology into something actually useful.

can i talk my shit again. yall love fat people when theyre like 200 lbs and “somft” but can we get some positivity posts for people who are like 400 and having trouble getting off the floor. who have tried everything and cant drop more than 20 pounds. yes fat people are beautiful and awesome but can we talk about 4/5x more instead of just xxl. for the love of god. can we talk about those of us who cant get merch of our favorite creators bc it only goes up to 3x.
