its purpose to the manufacturer. its purpose to the ice cream consumer is absolutely to make ice cream, and it does fail at it. it makes no sense to speak of purpose in a vacuum, only in relation to a user of the machine
"everything is about sex" can easily be refuted by nuking everyone's sex drive and observing them still having a life and complex psychology because the rest of the human experience functions just fine by itself
hmm, what if I asked you to give me examples of antimemes? bonus points if you manage to completely evade my attention. most hostile to propagation wins.
How about we grow all food in labs? No more farms, no more farmers. No more fucking farmers with their dogshit opinions wasting unbuilt land for the worst returns per cubic meter you've ever seen
@parafactual
as someone who's currently supposed to be taking abilify but not doing it, i think this is unfun and ruins the game. being able to lie about it is a big feature that allows people around me to feel safe without sacrificing my capabilities
programming books are insulting me with theoretical knowledge i already have. need one thats 100% just contingencies of how thw devilish machine differs from our beloved abstractions
Techbros are weird. The popularity of e/acc can only be explained by them being entire unabashed normoids. I can't emphasize enough how many more baroque and elegant and clever factions of transhumanism you could have picked. You choose to be a technology brother: You are basic.
Why would you as civilized people still do tea or coffee in this day and age when caffeine pills are orders of magnitude cheaper, tasteless, and need zero effort to ingest?
ehhh. when I was closetted I HATED pronouns rounds. way easier to let people assume your gender than to have to LIE about it and SAY YOU'RE CIS. mixed feelings about the practice
Went to my boyfriends work party and a cis guy asked me my pronouns and after i told him i said "typical cis behavior asking the one trans looking person their pronouns but not asking anyone else or saying yours after" and he was like "you're right i will do better."
permanent blocks are fine if you consider this site like a pvp battle arena with disposable accounts. they're not fine if you consider that we'll still be here in 10 years, around the same people, still talking past each other like idiots
dreamed that there was an evil witch with hyper-persuasion powers that worked by asking questions and making people consider the answers. the more curious and unbiased you were, the more likely you were to be enslaved and led to your ruin
i don't understand the kids who have age in bio these days. when i created my accounts i set the age to 18 each time regardless of whether it was relevant. why would you voluntarily let yourself be gatekept
...i don't think i'm convinced by the AI doom argument at all. i must be constitutionally unfit for doomerism, because i just can't reconcile the world of the argument with my model of the world. it sounds so fake and simplistic, the vibes are off
i like my trans identity a lot, but also it doesn't optimize for marriage and family and starting empires and visiting war zones, so i'm still mixed about it
@panchromaticity
Depends on the dose. First off I don't use alcohol stronger than 20% anymore to avoid damaging the digestive tract. Second much of the bad side effects are actually due to dehydration
...i'm a bit lost. i think i'm supposed to think really hard to come up with lifegoals and then acquire them, but i can't think of anything. except going 2 the sea. but i'm already doing that in 36 hours. what do i do after that
one thing boymoding has afforded me is knowledge of the things adult men say when you put them in a room together with no oversight. fascinating creatures.
i'm questioning whether i even want a job at all. maybe i should just, eh, do exactly absolutely nothing with my life, and be free from anything ever happening,
bioconservatives united to maximize suffering. if it made any doubt that anarcho-transhumanism is the right side of history, and the powers that be are just old decadent wrecks waiting for death idly.
Pains me deeply to agree with Crash-and-Burn Ron, but I co-sign this.

and as some dude who would never serve that slop to my kids, I stand with our American ranchers and farmers. 🇺🇸
Because a computer is an abstract construct not a physical object. Computer science is about ideal machines that function in the mathematical realm. We study processes as processes rather than particular material implementations. Obviously.
a competent protagonist could infer from statistical patterns the touch of the Author in even a perfectly mechanistic world. the only way to be undetectable is to make the story as uninteresting as the average reality
I know I'm an adult now, but I still support bodily autonomy for children. "they will make mistakes/do things they regret!" --that will be a valuable lesson :)
i don't fuck with esoteric schizo-fascists, personally. and i am cursed with the ability to detect vibe, i guess. wish i could just simp for them fucking undead ghouls like you.
people these days will scream "ai generated" at any weird pic. you know practical effects still exist, right? setups. hidden strings. and even plain old trickery.
k, cool torment nexus, but uhh. If we could do that, couldn't we instead use it on education and train super-wizards? You're telling me you have memory implantation, and you use it. On inflicting undesirable memories.
Just realized my 16 year old brother doesn't own a personal computer. Absolutely decadent. I'm going to install ubuntu on my spare one and fucking gift it to him immediately and he won't be a pleb anymore
the number of people for whom "doing what you want with your life" just means "getting a nice boat and a good horse" is truly fascinating. life in the spectacle is nothing but an immense accumulation of treats, apparently
I thought "no doxxing" was one of numerous tacit pacts successfully upheld between civilized peoples. not disappointed that it happens, disappointed that anyone defends it.
Thinking about this woman who used CRISPR to make her testicles produce estrogen (and it worked)
I wish stuff like this was more researched and implemented widely
Getting a "feminization vaccine" once and escaping the dependency on regular hrt is the Holy Grail of transition
I don't understand this story at all. Why, uh, why would parents control whether the door is open or closed, and, why is it disrespectful to close a door 😵💫 idgi
if 5% of people thought remotely like me we'd have overthrown the government already. where's your acausal coordination? i certainly don't see the world burning as much as it would if i wasn't special.
rumors that the real reason the smallpox virus is preserved in a lab is that when the day comes to uplift every species in existence, it too will be given superhuman intelligence, as all creatures should
call me a fangless dysgenist for it, but I think predation abolition is based and epic. the biocosmist project is extreme both in scale and in moral consistency. liberation for all beings, sentient and nonsentient, according to their own modalities
how do you look someone in the eyes again after you sent them the most unserious crackpot garbage during your schizo phase? how have I not lost all credibility during my lapses of reason?
the ban on swastikas really hit hard the design space for rotationally symmetric angular designs. imagine a world where you can draw a cool wheel without having to worry about all the subpatterns it contains

no matter how hard you run the euphemism treadmill on intellectual disability, people will still want to use some ableist slur as a slur. it seems unrealistic to stop devaluing intellectual disability, since it's ostensibly a root cause of everyone's failings and weaknesses
being born citizen of a single nation is so dumb omg. you can go to any place that matters in under a day and you still have to formally declare where you're gonna live like an serf chained to their spawnpoint
Heterosexual men complaining about the dating market is so weird. Why the hell do you act like there's scarcity? You can find heterosexual women by walking across the street. Hell, you can find heterosexual women by accident.
you don't get it. it's a step towards fully automated presidency. and once the figurehead is just a pile of bots, we'll have proved that faces are dispensable altogether. glorious, glorious technocracy
legend says that i'm a real person that exists in real life and if you're visiting Paris anyday you can add me to your party and i'll deploy in any sector under 40 minutes
I'd like to die on the moon, actually. To be suspended high above all earthlings, not even close to the stars but closer than all the ruins that can be dug up by future primitives. When earth falls back down to earth, I want to stay up there with the lunatics
Worst thing is I have in fact endured unspeakable horror. And people still feel entitled to tell me Some Have Had It Worse. And it doesn't matter because it's not even the reason I feel like this. I'm just a normal schizo, with a fucked up past no one cares about
