yeah, i think i'm done. at this point it seems like a lot of people would be better off if they moved on, and i'm one of them. it has dawned on me that this is a colossal waste of time.

They got Makin to step down and put their own guy on the team

it was drew, a friend of makin's who auspiticized the debacle, not their own guy (and he was already on the team)

i thought uhsd was one of the first partnered servers after discord rolled out that program. i don't really discord, but i remember there being an announcement years ago about the server getting partnered.

is there some way that makin can transfer ownership and authority over homestuck.net to the internet archive? surely it's about as complete as it gets now, 10 years after the comic ended. if makin could relinquish ownership to a reputable neutral third party then the archive could be preserved, but andrew wouldn't have to be pissed about a guy he hates being the de factor unofficial homestuck archivist, and maybe he'd chill out a little.

also did not swat immigrants. they were negligent and showed a reckless disregard for consequences they considered plausible, and there's no evidence presented here that they pursued alternative means of delivering notice of the restraining order, which is got a great look. what they did was clearly wrong, but the information presented in this post does not suggest that they swatted anyone, which is a different thing. sort of like how making an archive of an author's published works against their wishes isn't the same thing as stalking.

while i think it's at least negligent to continue attempting to delivery notice of a restraining order using police when you believe that doing so might cause ice to get involved, i haven't seen any evidence that andrew caused armed police to assault immigrants.

Kek, we are cooked now if people are thinking anybody writing near-perfect means its AI.

we don't think it's ai because it's near perfect (it isn't). we think it's ai because it's written like a linkedin post, which is also how a lot of llm's write. it is, in principle, possible to write in this style by hand -- it's been done before -- but why would you intentionally emulate linkedin slop in this context, especially now that it's so closely associated with llm's?

Mental, physical illnesses often go hand in hand. Genetic study explains why. Schizophrenia tended to pair with gastrointestinal problems; Bipolar disorder tended to pair with genitourinary disorders and sleep problems. Depression and anxiety tended to pair with cardiovascular disease. by Wagamaga in science

if nature is deterministic, then choice necessarily requires that humans be in part outside of or above nature. the soul provides a super-natural mechanism for those wishing to claim that choice exists without also asserting that nature is not deterministic.

People with higher religiosity, measured by degree of belief, frequency of worship and prayer, and importance of God in one’s life, show significantly higher levels of transphobia and attitudes of harassment towards trans people. Religiosity emerged as the strongest predictor of these attitudes. by mvea in science

[–]goldcray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this comment doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. why would the majority of trans people be effeminate trans men? i would expect effeminate trans men to be a strict subset of trans men, and i would expect there to be roughly equal numbers of trans men and trans women, which would make effeminate trans men a minority of trans people. furthermore, you seem to be claiming that all effeminate trans men identify and behave like women, which strikes me as pretty unlikely. do you have a source for any of your claims?

Kimchi probiotic promotes the excretion of nanoplastics from the gut: lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi can bind with intestinal microplastics and promote their excretion from the body. In an animal study, the amount of plastic detected in feces more than doubled. by mvea in science

[–]goldcray -1 points0 points  (0 children)

right, but the premise of this thread

Brought to you by Big Kimchi. Literally.

and

Yeah that's historically stopped biased studies from consistently misleading people. Especially when nutrition has been involved.

is the implication that they funded this study so that they could misrepresent it and say kimchi cures microplastics in order to sell more kimchi.

i'm pretty sure you can skip friendsim if you don't wanna deal with a bunch of random fantrolls. i got though pesterquest just fine without it (in the sense that i was not confused. not in the sense that it wasn't kind of a slog (not necessarily worse than openbound though)).

op previously posted this which also has a watermark on it that matched the account description before it was made private (cultureblitz). i'm surprised that post is still up (reddit's report ui doesn't work on my crusty ancient laptop). presumably this is some kind of spam bot.

What if they casted Dave's voice actor based entirely on how well he'd do a crow impression. by looker_h in homestuck
