i got pushed by docs into thinking my chronic migraines were just headaches from stress for five years - they were actually the primary manifestation of a tumor in my head. it took me a full year and half of fighting for myself to actually get the treatment i needed. it instantly cured me.
And so I anchored — I anchored on the first diagnosis I received. Even though that diagnosis was wrong. I'm sharing this experience not for sympathy or attention, but in the hope that it may be a useful cautionary tale. Do not make my mistake.

You can’t compromise on rights and especially on humanity. If one group says “This group can be sacrificed to save the rest of us,” it’s not a purity test to say “absolutely not.”
"purity tests" "circular firing squad" "the left eat their own" are such bullshit phrases.
people disagree on politics! that's how it works.
deal with it instead of whining about marginalized people correctly pointing out that certain "compromises" only strengthens fascism

Every one of these ChatGPT ads I see is batshit some dude has been suggested a dish to make to impress a girl so he had to type the q into chatgpt, read the answer and then follow it - as opposed to typing the question in a search engine reading the answer and then following it??? it's so stupid

The right has no compunctions about using violence but they also feel no need to construct a mechanical theory of how their violence will produce political change. Their killings are more like ritual magic than anything else. The highest goal is just to produce a satisfying spectacle.
