this one's maybe a little obtuse but if you can own a computer and a computer is a person then well by golly here's one neat loophole to owning a person!

please forgive my hack job photoshoppery but i really don't think this is "copier paper". these pieces are all the same height but not the same width. craft vinyl comes from Michaels on 12" wide rolls

This post has been stuck in my mind since I saw it last fall.
screenshot of a post from @asherelbein.bsky.social : "If I may be frank: too many leftists are looking for absolution of the sin of being American, rather than the power to effect concrete changes. If it's absolution you want, get religion. There's work to be done otherwise."

Tweet thread from Jenny Nicholson: "You know that thing where you disagree with a guy online and suddenly his vocab switches from completely normal to "writing missives from the revolutionary war in a quill pen" as though that's going to give him some kind of intellectual high ground In the replies you'll find a lot of women knowing exactly what I'm talking about and a lot of men going "I do not see why one should not be precise in his manner of expression, I merely desire to clarify my intent lest my intentions be misjudged by hostile adversaries" "

I'm not gonna read this clickbait nor am I gonna quote-dunk it but I'm just going to ask: has it not *definitionally* cased to be fanfic if it's just LLM output? No fan wrote it.

Frankly: what the fuck was wrong with these people.

Every sentence is more unhinged than the last
quote from Titan NTSB report: "The forward dome included a viewing port constructed of an acrylic window certified to 1,000 meters (3,281 feet).28 The segments, domes, and viewing port had been built for the v1 pressure vessel and were reused with the replacement v2 composite cylinder."

reading the Titan NTSB report and I keep thinking about how much time and resources were urgently spent searching for a vessel whose team had total negligence— engineering, training, safety. & how many people rightly pointed out this media kerfuffle etc. was never mustered for, e.g. refugee ships
Quote from NTSB report: "The commercial cable ship Deep Energy was the first to arrive on scene with ROVs. Responding to an ISMERLO request, the vessel arrived on scene about 1 500 on June 20 (about 34 hours after the request) with two ROVs capable of reaching 9,843 feet (3,000 meters). OceanGate personnel moved from the Polar Prince to the Deep Energy, and the Deep Energy crew deployed one ROV to its maximum cable length but found nothing. Next, in an effort to reach the seabed, they dove the ROV beyond its rated depth, almost another 3,281 feet (1,000 meters); the ROV was destroyed in the process. They then used the second ROV for sonar scanning."
