Trying to maintain a thread of realistic optimism. The anti-intellectualism, anti-science, ignorance, antipathy, sexism, racism, & corporate/authoritarian-bootlicking in my country terrifies me. And it's getting so much worse. Facts. Art. Music. Empathy.

Especially the laissez-faire version.

"the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet"

Jesus H Naked Bicycle-Riding Christ, what a goddamned piss-baby LOSER! He & Mike Pence oughtta crawl under mother’s skirt and have a cry. Ludicrous performative BULLSHIT. D’you think he knows how to wash his own clothes or mix his own chocolate milk?

Yeah I should. It’s probably frustration combined with social awkwardness. Debate is NOT my intention!

If I was better able to memorize scripts, I’d have tried to do more acting in my life. That’s a mask that’s fun to wear.

I’m sorry to hear you struggled with that. I hate being on disability but I‘m way less stressed daily, and can sleep better, because of not being forced to wear the mask of obsequious worker for sociopathic managers, and work at being super functional for 8+ hours a day. It’s exhausting!

This is one of their least bad headlines

jace cavacini @dysamoria.com · 14h

This headline is actually not bad, considering their usual stenography tactics.

jace cavacini @dysamoria.com · 14h

Finally an accurate and sensible headline. Are you finally learning?

When are our military guys gonna refuse those illegal orders? Any minute now… 🤨

This is good advice for people w/comfort marketing themselves, regular diurnal sleep cycles, + access to printing. I‘ve a professional-grade Epson inkjet printer rotting away (well, ink locking up components) b/c I can’t afford ink carts. I preferred its output compared to services I did tests with.

I should have. Thanks for calling me out on missing that opportunity👍🏽

I don’t want to criticize their word choice so much as call out the difficulty of following the advice due to the prevalence of unqualified people in this realm. IE: How can people follow this advice effectively and avoid woo?

Imagine that. Some kind of effort at restrained use of the potential of overwhelming force.

👍🏽 This is where my question is coming from.

Standard cop practice.

Standard corporate practice.

Standard practice among all people who hold power in the dynamics of extreme power disparity: “do as I say, not as I do”.

It’s good to learn that being president doesn’t immunize someone from criticism.

jace cavacini @dysamoria.com · 15h

They DO play along, but they can’t sign a document formalizing it because that would belie the false neutrality they claim with their right-slanted “both sides” bullshit.

It’s starting to be a thing where all I see in photos of Trump’s face are three gross mouths (his eyes as mouths) or Rigel the 16th from Farscape (which is an insult to Rigel; he was awful but not nearly as bad as Trump because he could occasionally be noble and do the right thing in the end).

Hypocrisy and incoherence and illogicality...

jace cavacini @dysamoria.com · 15h

Hypocrisy is the goal for the extremist party.

How do you know it wasn’t bad? Were you using credible human-curated information to verify if the output of the LLM was accurate?

At least the assholes’ metal litter looks recyclable 😒 Be careful about what you touch after handling them. Wash hands immediately after.

If you find any info about Spiru-Tein in this lead context, please share here 👍🏽 The version I used to use didn’t have whey (trying to be vegan but not 100% strict; I’m ALSO lactose intolerant, so 🤨).

What are the parameters for someone to be considered a qualified nutritionist? I’ve encountered a lot of people who make that claim about themselves and yet they’re spewing, bullshit or at least questionable content.
