I don’t disagree at all. It’s kind of like how the incoming US regime isn’t representative of all Jesus-people.

That said, it seems like Islamic and Chirstian groups hold people captive in the worst ways imaginable, using every dirty psychological trick ever thought of.

A “family” memeber has used a proxy-person to suggest I go to a turn-you-not-gay-anymore camp, as an adult… I have also experienced a “polite” conversation with a Musilm about the Quaran, over a meal. I pointed out my attempt to read it in high school in a book store, and surprise that it was almost all just “moral” rules. He said it was something like a guide book, and decided to inform me on how many lashes one receives as a gay person, before they’re “put to death.” What a confusing way to try to convert an unapologetically half-gay sketpic…

All I’m trying to express is that community and having a group/family of people that can rely on and relate to each other is very important to maintain sanity thru life, but it can come at a severe cost if the group is religious. Even budhist groups can become violent, so I don’t think it’s generally based on specific religions, as much as the microcosm within the book(s) club that you’re in.

I always hope religious people can escape, or at least glean something helpful from their beliefs, and not end up closed off from other people, and the ability to think on their own terms. Thank you for reading my Ted Talk lol.

On the bright side, all the bans for promoting the ban of an abusive harasser/troll that encourges suicide gatekeeping, and instance blocks from annoyed-by-all-this-shit users has pretty much defederated blahaj! What a wonderful outcome.

I guess it’s not that serious, just not fun to see this be the result of “queer space gets trolled.” 😑 I might join the folks instance blocking, but it doesn’t feel great. I’ve known plenty of trans folk. Over all, they were chill as fuck, and are generally enjoyable to talk with. But holy farking shitballs, if exposure to this instance was all I knew about GNC/trans people, I’d assume most are insane and love drama.

The concept of Roko’s Baslisk is personally a “meh.”

The concept that an idea/thought can be damaging as a whole, and potentially show no benefit whatsoever, doing only harm as it spreads… that’s terrible to think about, and my brain can only handle so much dissonance.

Also, I’ve heard someone list out why they attend church/label themselves as religous, and it was literally just Pascal’s wager. Ugh.

I guess I’m just stuck being completely ok with death as a concept, and have to assume most people are horrified by it, by default. It’s pretty awkward when someone mentions that human brains continue to function several seconds after decapitation, to be an edgelord, and my genuine fascination with the concept makes them uncomfortable. 😮‍💨

I kinda hate knowing that the end just feels like nothing though, to be honest. It’s kinda disappointing. Sorry if that just ruined any death enjoyer or hell connoisseur’s day. At least there’s like… idk life or some shit before that part, I guess.

Undervolting, I’ve been told, can achieve similar, or sometimes better results, especially when paired with a less overclocked, but still higher gender clock speed…

For example: genderfluid, BUT only across the axis of gastrogenders. Agender also has potential, since in verbal conversation, it sounds dismissive, as if one is simply “a gender,” implying the other party should just guess.

If this is about a particular mythical lizard individual, I think it is clear that the problem was not neopronouns… Maybe 10% of dissent was related the fact that “they” is offensive, or not inclusive enough.

I think encouraging murder-suicides and harassment tend to be bannable behaviours, but I suppose if enough “me is victim” is induced by speaking exclusively in third-person (including verbs when referring to one’s self), anything is possible.

Also, a bazillion bans over for “gatekeeping” later, this place definitely seems mostly allergic to being inclusive towards anyone not a part of the in-group of defending this blatant troll. Fun, or even slightly humorous pronouns aren’t offensive tbh, but forcing your sexual obsession(s) onto non-consenting strangers, online or not, is fucked up. I’m sure there are places for that exclusively, where consent is usually pre-established, to some degree.

I don’t like people who make otherkin and neopronoun users both look like complete shitheads. I’m in neither of those groups, but it would be nice if people obviously trolling to make a mockery of both concepts would not be immune to legitimate critisism/grievences.

I think my lack of the right type of patience to miss a jump 386,858 times tends to prevent that from happening… Maybe some there are more forgiving platformers that I could get into, but I can’t handle the Dark Souls level of improvement necissary in some games.

…obigatory fuck Dark Souls. I’m convinced anyone who beat any of those games are lying, just to feel better about not getting past the first miniboss, even with hours of grinding/leveling up.

Scientific applications, espcially needle-in-haystack, or insanly huge data sets in general, are the best use for AI that I’ve seen.

I have also seen artists use generated backdrops for art with a character they drew, and I have though about giving a generator a confusing prompt for an audio clip, so I can edit it, then turn it into a soundfont, or make it into some other kind of muscial tool.

But yeah, “clouds in sky, sunny, high definition digital art backdrop” is easier to type than learn how to make, but it is a starting point for some. Fine by me, as long as it’s a tool/element, rather than the piece itself. And LLMs are not to be trusted past a similar point either. They are ok usually for asking where to start, when even that isn’t known, or easy to word. They usually give horrible results beyond a what to search for tho.

Reading the first bit of the wikipedia entry on this game made me lol, literally and suddenly. xD I might have to play it someday, even tho I’m mega-suck at platformers, especially 3D ones. Hell-related media is almost universally hecken great.

👍

-insert a good faith response to your bad faith, pedantic (at best) argument here-

This is my first downdoot on a blahaj post post, or probably meme in general… I get it’s mostly just a joke, but still.

Cis people aren’t all fucked in the head or clueless, just like trans people aren’t. Allies are able to push for, or at least support trans rights, and unfortunately are a lifeline for trans folk that get shoved out of discussions for “bias.”

The “cis bad” memes just add to the lack of understanding, and force and “us vs them” mentality, based only on gender expression. It’s not even an optics thing… It just comes off as wanting to be a victim, before Mr Chadson or Ms Becky have been transphobic, or pushed for a bathroom bill, which almost demands a defensive attidude from them both.

Anyways, I have talked with people that are painfully unaware of how gender works/exists. Whether intentional or not, it is not a great time. I would dip out of the interaction ASAP, unless they are trying to understand or learn, which is kind of rare in most cases.

THIS JUST IN: cis, agender people disgust MossyFeathers, and they are so valid in feeling this way! They need an award for not feeding a troll, because addressing the mythical-reptile-sona troll in question at all is definitely not a loosing battle.

Anyways, neopronouns are fine or whatever, and can help people. Trolling in third-person to make a mockery of the concept of neopronouns seems counter-intuitive though, unless making people who use them feel bad is the point. Ah well, I guess agender people don’t exist, and cis bad. 😑

Today I learned that speaking only in third person is a pronoun, and that telling depresed trans people to die in a not-yet-happening war as an alternative to dying from depression is perfectly fine, actually. As long as you’re totally not trolling, it’s all good!

I feel enlightened, and touchable grass is but a distant memory.

Commenable observation. My spectral theoretical identity is “_chaotic-neutral_nightmare-floorp-floofer” though. Which impressively, may (or may not) exist on the plane of shared, consensus reality. Telling me it doesn’t exist in your waking world is just plain offensive though, and needs to be punished!

I really am a special lil fucker! Aren’t I wonderful? uwu

I hope you guise like me and respecc all my identifiers, especially if/when I decide they exclusively revolve around a mythical creature’s cawk, and my enjoyment of bouncing on it (for hours)!

EDIT: /s for the oblivious, and I would have typed this in third-person, if that were possible for me, without inducing an anyeursm. A sex pest/transphobic shithead being protected, through a mod banning tons of users is what caused this reaction, not neoproun use (which is fine), or admittedly, a wikipedia article about big lizards.

Also, internalized transphobia exists, and I try to avoid inducing more of it in others. It does not seem like the troll in question wishes to add anything to any discussion, other than mocking validation of neopronouns, and probably worse, with the racist and violence-based-suicide-promoting posts. I attempted to express this here, just extremely poorly. Internet sabbatical time now.

I really like their style. The glossy shading and lighting in general are great.

It looks like they haven’t put it on their site yet, but they will soon iirc. This is where it should be, when they get a copy of it and upload. Probably early January.

I am not sure, but the CCC might be leaving a recording of it up somewhere as well.

I did not realize that typing exclusively in third-person, and pushing something that is obviously kink-related onto internet strangers was umm… not trolling?

I feel like the troll that does this gives people who fantasize about dragons a bad name, not to mention people who use neopronouns, for various non-trolling reasons, that usually hold some kind of personal meaning. Expression is complicated, but holy goddamn bollucks, third-person shitposting to try to bait people who didn’t read a bio into “misgendering” bans is asinine and takes validity from people who could use it. I don’t see how any mods have gone along with this “muh third-person antagonistic ranting means victimhood” shit.

Whatever tho, I guess every individual user is supposed to independently block an asshat who tells people to commit suicide, because they are so very super-special… I hope this place doesn’t get tossed into dot world over this, ugh.

I had to look it up. The closest thing I’ve played is Citizen Sleeper.

I am not planning on posting on 196 again though, probably. I just decided to correct my extreme skeptisim against some allies, and share a meme-esque image.

Stellaris does look awesome though.

i guess you moved on, until a dumb shitpost also upset you 🤭

i wonder if the opinion that “this group of activists has it’s odd pitfalls” was shared by anyone, other than “many,” possibly even the OP. who knows?

also, who started this “discussion?” you didn’t have to express your self-righteous anger, or at least could have done so more politely, without demands that i censor a screencap to make you not feel so wronged and upset.

anyways 🥱 i’m bored. you got any games on your phone?

EDIT: i am skeptical that you do, indeed, have games on your phone, as you claimed. i patiently await your (relevant to mobile gaming) response, and may one day decide to no longer live in your walls.
