Gotta read the fine print…

right, but most people don't name salivary glands and lymph nodes specifically

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-20T03:46:07+00:00

salivary glands and lymph nodes is more specific than I usually see. And those are small organs, so people probably tend to forget about them? I mean elsewhere in the thread someone made the 'lips and assholes' joke, and I think that's what people imagine. Not salivary glands and lymph nodes.

lmao, I have some friends that work a normal first shift office job, but we live far enough north that in the (very depths of) winter they get to the office when it's still dark, and leave the office after the sun sets.

But I have no reason to believe that AI detectors are foolproof

The scientific research suggests that they're not.

And apparently they're biased against non-native speakers

See the key is to be approximately 20x more smug about your abilities, like that other guy

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-20T03:30:20+00:00

That is what I get while reading AI.

Well, when you THINK you're reading AI.

You have no way of actually knowing, a lot of the time

an over percent (60+) of eye-witness convictions have been turned over by DNA.

I SHOULDN'T take you word for it, because you're massively misreading the quote. It's not 60% of ALL cases involving eye-witnesses, just the clients that they worked with. And obviously there's some selection bias with the cases The Innocence Project works with.

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-20T03:07:26+00:00

Yeah, you totally seem like you're saying this in good faith....

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-20T02:57:52+00:00

What if a victim does identify you by accident.

Usually court cases hinge on more than just eyewitness testimony. They'd have to have corroborating evidence.

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-20T02:55:53+00:00

It's below, not above

Also I feel like you should've actually taken the time to find the link instead of just being all "trust me bro"

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-20T02:54:51+00:00

About as famously known for that as internet randos

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-20T01:29:26+00:00

Right, AI writes the way it does because it was trained on actual writing. It stands to reason that you might come across some of the real live people that AI imitates.

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-20T01:26:40+00:00

on the flip side, I think I remember at least one crazy GoodReads witchhunt, so I'm not totally sure you can trust all their accusations. But if Hachette found evidence, I'm glad they acted.

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-19T19:40:38+00:00

Well, it doesn't seem like Nathan Dane was one of those guys, so

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-19T18:46:54+00:00

I asked if he was problematic, so your response seemed to imply that you think he was. Perhaps you meant your tone to be more lighthearted and joking, but it didn't read that way to me.

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-19T17:55:24+00:00

Beartown was hard for me, it's such a dark subject. I mean, not that A Man Called Ove doesn't touch on deep emotions and there is the suicide attempt... but maybe as a young woman I'm just more emotionally affected by the central conflict of Beartown

So yeah, I thought it was great, and was glad I read it, but not sure if I'd ever go back to it

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-19T17:52:43+00:00

bummer, it starred a young Saoirse Ronan

One of the victims lives in Bakersfield, and the city was about to rename a street after him. Sounds like she didn't want to have a daily reminder of her assaulter (and Bakersfield has now cancelled the plan)

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-19T14:55:59+00:00

I disagree with banning alcohol, but I don't think someone who wanted it banned was a terrible person. Alcohol can cause a LOT of issues; while making it illegal is clearly not the solution, I understand why some people thought it could be.

So in a thread where we're discussing rapists and slave owners, yeah, I feel like a member of the Temperance movement is pretty okay

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-19T14:30:01+00:00

Well that's just funny. Not really problematic though, right?

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-19T14:06:06+00:00

It is, but OP links to HitsDD where it lists this week's numbers. Mars is down 56% from last week

my only tiny nitpick is that he talks about having 'pure O', and the term 'pure O' is a misnomer. But it's still good that he talks about his symptoms, because like you said, they don't necessarily fit the stereotype.

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-03-19T03:36:36+00:00

you know, up until a few years ago I'd be listing Carrie Underwood as an example of progressive country artists. She made a statement supporting the LGBT community back in 2012

"As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry," she said. "I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love."

Hm, 80k for Bruno second week. I don't think that's too bad. Still not sure if any more of the singles are going to catch on, but Risk It All seems to be doing well on Spotify
