This could be sold for all the money.

Also, kudos for the bidet. #cleanstarfish

I didn’t mean to imply you were wrong, and I’m sorry if I came across that way.

That book opened my eyes to how people passively accepting fascism think, and I think it’s a great way to understand how to talk to such people. That was all.

Then, perhaps giving them such a book might be a way to give them insight and might help them realise how their own thoughts are like those who were interviewed for the book. Like hey, I found this book interesting, what do you think sort of thing.

I didn’t mean to imply anything other than it might help.

e: also, it’s not a polarising book. It’s highly sympathetic

You’re saying I should make anal beads from spring rolls?

Way ahead of you.

I disagree. I remember the 90s, and not only was abortion a very hot topic, but IVF was fairly new then, and there was enormous debate over whether it was ethical or should be outlawed because the religious right argued (vehemently) that, because it necessarily means many fertilised embryos were destroyed in the process, 'babies' were being killed. The 'life begins at conception' argument was in full force back then.

Not only were abortion clinics being bombed on the regular, but fertility clinics, too. It seemed rare for a while that you could go a week without hearing about a fertility-related doctor being killed in some way, sometimes in their own homes. Given the vitriol in the past few years, I've been surprised they're not trying to outlaw IVF again (I think it's only a matter of time).

The debate has been heated lately, but we haven't hit 90s level of murder over it.

Read They Thought They Were Free by Milton Mayer. Then lend it to your friend.

Your comment was pretty clear. I looked at your profile. What was I supposed to get from it that contradicted your comment?

Whoa.

‘People have thoughts and stuff, so I can’t wait till I can have something to fuck that won’t disagree with me’?

That’s an interesting opinion. Also, you can say you don’t do politics, but politics will still do you.

I’m amazed someone would say these things without apparently thinking about them. If you just want a robot fuck toy, that’s cool (e: many of us have fantasised about the vacuum cleaner, no shade), but wanting that because real people say things you don’t like is… interesting.

Not really, though.

The parents know the knife can be used to stab people. It’s a dangerous implement, and people are killed with knives all the time. e: thus most parents are careful with kids and knives.

LLMs aren’t sold as weapons, or even as tools that can be used as weapons. They’re sold as totally benign tools that can’t reasonably be considered dangerous.

That’s the difference. If you’re paying especially close attention, you may potentially understand they can be dangerous, but most people are just buying a coffee maker.

Still, drugstore poison would be not only easier but more effective, slip something into his coffee. He’s a notorious womaniser – have a beautiful girl roofie him in public, at a street cafe. Easy.

Trying to set up a car accident would be stupid. And yes, they’re stupid, but if you had to kill someone for $100, would you try to engineer a car accident or would you roofie him, a guy with known heart issues?

Nah. There are far easier ways to end an 81 year old. They’d be the most Wish-level assassins ever. Even trump would pay better than that.

Neat. My next wish is to end world hunger.
Go!
