Transporter Room 3

My mother keeps sending stuff over Facebook, my sister keeps inviting me to supposedly important events over Facebook, my work wants me to use twitter, and my brother in law keeps sending tiktock videos.

I remind all of them that I don’t use social media, and my Facebook account is only up for the 2 times a year I need it to get ahold of otherwise-unreachable people. If you want something, send me a text or email and be direct.

Well now I’m sad and want to go back to the cabin I stayed in for my first anniversary and finish reading.

Just once I would love for a judge to just go "You know what? It’s obvious what your company is doing here, so rather than attempt to receive this information in good faith, since it’s not being OFFERED in good faith, we can go ahead and say you lose, and now owe punitive damages to every artist you’ve sued over the years over a couple circles. "

But no, they pretend that corporations are people.

I’ll believe they’re people when I finally see one executed, or taxed, or imprisoned, or face any of the consequences normal people do. You can’t argue the idea of a comoany has personhood and then walk that back any time it comes to punishment.

Fuck disney

Yes, that is part of the joke.

My grandparents didn’t even update their will when my sister and I were born.

From my understanding, it’s how many processes it’s running?,

Could be open tabs, but my Firefox always has at least (3) even when I’ve just opened it.

… Aren’t we all, in one way or another?

I mean, I’ve had my knee crushed by a sledgehammer. My left hand has been run through with a knife. I’ve taken a bullet to the hip through a vehicle door.

Doesn’t mean I don’t still feel pain when I get a sack slap.

It’s a peaceful life.

So like… Are people thinking this is serious, and not recognizing the fact that it’s pointing out ridiculous arguments that some Bad-faith argumentatives like to make?

I’ve heard plenty of people in all seriousness say women don’t understand the pain of getting hit in the balls, but like… Nobody sane and rational actually believes that.

If you really DO think women, who have ENTIRE HUMANS SHOCED OUT OF THEIR VAGINA, can’t understand pain? Yes, getting hit in the balls hurts. I’ve been hit more times than I care to remember.

If anyone really DOES think women don’t get that kind of searing pain, look up “Childbirth perineal tear” and promptly lose all confidence in your argument.

So my understanding of it is that one person who has a lot of followers made a video using the word in an arguably improper manner, a bunch of other people making more videos more or less using it ironically to make fun of it, and then a bunch MORE people just started using it completely wrong because it’s been a game of Shitty Telephone from the people who used it correctly (first persons teacher, or a book somewhere) and the end result makes absolutely no sense.

Or, if you will excuse the slanted metaphor, “Ai learning from Ai”

Step One Cannot Be Completed

Abandon Quest?

SAY WHAT AGAIN

The system is working as designed.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Oh god this was me in highschool.

My response though was “I don’t really like lip balm, but thanks”

Literal years before I remembered it and facepalmed.

“we’re in line at a theme park called DANGER and someone just force fed us a FAST PASS”

Never heard of it before, but now I know what I’m doing this evening.

Another anecdote for the “Springs Be Scary” list, I was helping my brother in law put theirs up two years ago, and similarly had trouble with the last spring.

We were using the tool included in the packaging, a little T post handle with a small hook on the end, sort of like one of those livestock processing hooks they use to grab heavy things with, just a lot smaller. And not sharp.

Well the last spring was being pulled back when the metal hook broke out of the handle, and shot into the nearby house window and broke one of the bottom panes.

Nobody was hurt, but with all the kids excitedly sprinting around, that metal bit was flying at eye level to 3 or 4 of them… Someone could have lost an eye.

Springs under load are scary as fuck, ask any garage door tech.

You know, as much as I hate it… “you know it when you see I but hard to definet” really is accurate.

There’s plenty of things that aren’t outright illegal that are completely inappropriate around children.

And if there are things that are context specific, it gets a lot harder to make a computer recognize a problem.

Audio cues are easy to scan for and computers are pretty good at recognizing sounds, especially in regards to copyright detection (even if their interpretation of “fair use” clause is still fucked 6 ways)

Video is a lot harder unless the computer is trying to match direct images (it’s a lot easier to recognize a still frame from The Avengers when it’s uploaded full size than it is to recognize a slightly warped, smaller cropped version with someone in front of it commenting on the video)
