Theory: I am ball arena

The screenshot begs to differ.

I read this comment, then closed the post.

Then I thought to myself “I didnt see, but I’d bet myself $100 it was a .ml user”

Then I opened it again to much entertainment.

Can’t the AI companies charge more while using the GPU heat to warm the in vitro babies they’re growing in vats?

I’m pretty sure these babies will get lots of love from their AI parents.

Actually, I wasnt thinking clearly, it was the guy who lifted the corner up with his fucking hands (and then got his hands trapped) who frantically yelled at me to grab the suction grip.

When I couldn’t lift it, I was running around the factory looking for something to wedge under the glass before it split.

Eventually I found a steel pole and rolled it underneath before my workmate lost his fingers.

Also, the moron who got his foot crushed wasn’t wearing steel caps, despite them being mandatory.

I think I still have some unresolved PTSD from that day lol.

As someone who has been in a scenario in which my adrenaline surged in a life or death situation but failed to lift something heavy: your muscles are not magically going to give you extra fibres you dont have.

My exact scenario: working as a glazier, and a slate of glass vertically landed on a workmates foot, another guy managed to pick up the corner of the slate with his hands. Failure to lift the glass would split the glass and result in a guillotine of 3mm float.

Despite my best effort I could not lift the corner of the slate using a suction grip.

So is methamphetamine, but its not going to make you a squirrel at 60

Did you see the way they looked at the bison?!

Because stable is where you put horses, duh.

My girlfriend and I like to incorporate roleplay into our sex life.

The other day she told me she wants to do the sexy nurse / patient fantasy crossed with some light bondage.

So anyway, I’m tied up, and you know those little plastic horses you’ll get as part of some kids toy farm pack? She starts pushing one up my ass.

I’m screaming at her, asking her what she’s doing, and she’s changed the fantasy from nurse to surgeon, she starts narrating: “where’s the anethstesiologisth?! I need 20 CC’s of fent”

The first horse disappears, and she starts with the next one, then the one after that.

When the final horse disappears she says “Mr. Wayland is stable.”

Sure, but that isn’t the point I’m making.

Consider that my analogy was referring specifically to arithmetic, while we have calculators in our pockets.

Consider a different analogy if you want, spell checkers.

If they came out now, I’m sure you’d have people arguing that people will never learn how to spell.

I was pretty good at maths in school, and throughout my adult life there have been times when doing mental math has been helpful.

I must’ve saved quite a few minutes, perhaps even an hour total.

But it has never been that important, that using the calculator I always have in my pocket would’ve somehow changed anything in the moment.

In all, it actually doesn’t feel like that helpful of a skill, though your milage will vary depending on your job.

In saying that, LLM’s aren’t going anywhere, and the panic around peoples stupification is probably a mask for ignorance or indifference which would exist regardless.

Holy strawman

Buddy, billionaires don’t care about whether you shame them.

But they do care about the prestige of looking charitable.

It makes far more sense to play along and let them feel like heroes if it means the next tragedy gets $100k.

Consider this: donation shaming contributes to a cost/benefit analysis.

Consider that Taylor Swift could donate $100k for every single tragedy that occurs this year and be no worse off.

But that would get her more bad press than it’s worth. People would say “why does this tragedy get $100k when its obviously far worse” or “The amount of people affected are more than this other tragedy, why are you racist?” Etc.

So, they stay quiet, and even then people get shamed for not using their platform to speak up.

If you actually give a shit about seeing the most amount of money going to help people, you should realise the path forward is to lower the bar to access, and make donation as beneficial as possible to the people donating.

Call it what you want, but $100k is $100k.

For the people who are actually affected, any donation is appreciated.

In any case, do you intend to use shame to force higher donations?

Donation shaming is bad form.

The right move is to give them the credit and move on, because regardless of PR, it is a net positive.
