stop feeling it.

it’s what you make of it.

some folks feel hurt and betrayed if you don’t text them every other hour. some don’t care if you don’t talk to them for years.

Except most of us suck at it. Very few of us are really good at it.

But it’s true, AI models make the same stupid mistakes humans do, are are convinced those mistakes are truth and reality… and are unable to error correct when corrected or given new information

it’s only trolling to you because you’re 100% wrong. look at the deaf community, plenty of other disable communities would rather not be disabled, and often do have the choice but choose to remain disabled. because it doesn’t mean their life is ‘less than’, like you imply. hell plenty of disable people live fully richer lives than ‘abled’ people, because well, they choose too. plenty of overweight abled people who can’t walk a half mile vs people who don’t even have legs who can do marathon.

yeah, the overweight fat people who can’t walk a mile also think they ‘aren’t fully in control’ of themselves too.

cool, i don’t believe that at all. sounds like a convenient fiction to me. to me the ‘mind/soul can exist without the body’ is just ego-projection.

we’re meatbags. nothing is separable. everything is embodied.

do you know any disabled people? plenty of them get wheelchairs and such and live great lives. it’s their choice to be defined by the disability or not.

discord is a corporation that is acting like a corporation. it’s demographics are also heavily under 18, so they are legally required do a lot of shit to ‘protect the children’ from themselves.

being in charge of your mind is entirely your choice.

pretending that it can’t be, is an excuse to just not take responsibility for it.

a lot of folks, refuse to take responsibility, actively. either for their minds or their bodies, and actively refuse treatment from their medical providers. but that’s their choice even if they deny that it is a choice.

the problem is a lot of bad actors use their mental illness or physical illness as an excuse to be self-destructive.

it’s deeper than that. the people who insist on this are… people who want to obfuscate the problems. because the reality of them are too harsh for them to emotionally accept.

The truth is there are legit homeless people… people who actively refuse shelters and social services and prefer to live on the streets, many of whom are criminal and can’t be in the shelters because they want to use drugs, abuse people, and steal shit… but the acknowledgement of this is not possible for people who insist ‘no they are just not getting enough help/stigmatized’. these are the types of folk who think everyone is inherently good and wonderful and it’s the evil bad world that made them bad people…

Most homeless folks are only temporarily homeless and most are like living out of a car or other temporary situation.

But those folks can’t acknowledge any complexity of any issue. because it terrifies them that other people are different than them… or exist outside of the limits of their small imaginations… so they want to shrink the world to fit into their comfortable headspace with euphemisms. and they want to naively believe that all problems are just because ‘other people are mean’ or something that’s kindergarten level way of looking at the world.

And you’ll notice the people who push these agendas… often come from wealthy privledged backgrounds… part of their whole shtick is using euphemisms so they don’t have to feel guilty about their own privileges… privileges which they are actively hostile to in other people but refuse to acknowledge in themselves. they will go so far to claim not being homeless makes you ‘privledged’ but won’t acknowledge that they live in a condo their parents bought for them, while you rent with 2 roommates, etc.

If you ask me it’s just a product of very sheltered people who are basically ‘allergic’ to reality because they never had to deal with it, like these folks never lived in a place where homelessness was a problem, so they can’t understand how it is a problem for anyone else, and if you got robbed/assaulted by a homeless person, you deserved it or something. And if you grew up in a town with problems like homeless and drug use where everyday things… you are basically evil and awful in these people’s eyes.

I grew up in a diverse town with a poverty rate of 15%. I had friends in grammar school who were sometimes homeless. I meet people now who grew up in towns with 3-4% poverty rates… which are mostly just old folks on social security.

all I know is every ‘safespace’ is a space full of bullies who feel they need the world to conform to their beliefs and hatreds where diversity of ideas and opinion are forbidden.

the issue is people confuse safety with control.

i have no idea what a ‘comfortable space’ is. I guess a space where you don’t feel like you are walking on eggshells? i guess that would be a place where people are grown up and mature enough to chill out.

i don’t use discord or most anything social media. i don’t live on the internet or communicate with people via it very much. i mostly make phone calls and interact with people in person.

how do people know the bikes I sell aren’t stolen?

they don’t.

independent just means you don’t belong to or identify with a political party. if people classify themselves this way, they are definately not apolitical.

apolitical people don’t care about politics. just like asexual people don’t care about sex.

people are idiots who don’t know what they are taking about.

this is useless. nobody does this or keeps a database of them.

the only use it has is for warranty claims, or if you have it for you own bike you can use to verify you own it with the police, if they reclaim it. but that virtually never happens.

it’s not like chipping your pet where there is a universal standard to which authorities/vets can reference and your ownership is encoded in the database.

I don’t. Not my job.

Sold/Bought dozens of used bikes over the years, very low chance any of them was stolen. Flipped quite a few of them too.

Just don’t be an idiot. It’s obvious if someone is weird and sketchy, and don’t buy the bike if they act that way.

there are many default blocks.

just wipe it all.

no interest in accessing anyone’s online accounts. that shit it is weird. nobody in my family has a ‘tech estate’ nor would anyone want to access their apple music they bought.

you don’t need account access for any of the important stuff. you need to go to the bank to show proof of death anyway.

because federation is slow

You don’t. If you can’t handle someone having different opinions/ideas than you, you’re the fascist.

They are insane people.

No, it’s fucking weird for folks to do that. You’re not sensitive, they are just insane and no well-adjusted person does that.
