Pearl-clutching your way into validating pain-avoidance as a priority worth pursuing over other practical aspects of life might be the way for you, but it’s not watertight enough to impose on others.
Perfection
Let’s put that person outside for a few months and see how they do
Indigenous people, living immersed in the natural world, deciding that an 11 year old is old enough to decide on their own start a journey into adulthood while surrounded by adults who care deeply for them,
Is absolutely nothing like a racist white person deciding that an 11 year old black child should be ripped from their family and treated as an adult against their will.
That’s such an insane comparison that your intentions come into severe question.
Oh, did you grow up in an indigenous community that practices this?
Those kids you’re talking about, did they experience growing up in an indigenous community that practices this? Are you talking about these rituals, or are you randomly talking about people who hurt a bunch?
Because it sounds like you’re speaking from an outside perspective, about things that aren’t the topic at hand. Weird how you think that opinion is relevant.
Hazing is corn syrup to the fresh fruit of pain based rituals.
Hazing, like many ideas and rituals that “survived” into the lives of inside people, is an important ritual, stripped of all the things that made it real and important. Pain tolerance changes everything about a person. The experience of physical pain and emotional pain, and the tolerances of each, are intertwined.
I would not want a leader who is so averse to discomfort that they avoid important things we must do, because they are scared of the discomfort. I do not want a leader who is so scared of discomfort that they sacrifice the group just so they themselves do not have to face discomfort.
The world hurts. To experience this pain in a controlled way instead of an uncontrolled way, while the people who love you and care for you and would sacrifice their lives for you, take care of you and help you through it, is practice for life. It is a bonding experience that strengthens the whole group and all individuals in it.
Hazing is people who don’t know you, hurting you and bribing you. It’s a great metaphor for capitalism and all its predecessors, and what they do to literally everything.
Lonnie musk and Donnie trump were hazed. They would sacrifice a child rather than go a month without AC. They are not suitable leaders.
You can’t genocide slavers
Maybe jealousy? They cracked the mold when they popped Lemmy🍰 out. Now the metals are left with only like 2-3 to choose from.
Nah, you fell for the marketing, and now you think the new technology is only corpo lobotomized chatbots.
Lol, I get it now. You couldn’t read the psychopath’s face. Very relatable.
Looking around here, “Boys will be boys” extends to their spyware murderbots too I guess.
I can even kind of understand picking a godlike person to worship at the fartmaker of. But like, people choose lonnie and rump, and that fucking floors me.
🫂 everyone who gets to those levels of wealth is a horrible person and a seasoned liar.
I’m cynical as hell. I have never had any “faith” in the consumer to be able to regulate things with their wallet, but even I was shocked by DD’s success.
I remember finding out how shit the whole system was for the “employee” and thinking “that sucks. If it’s a good deal, this will take off and become the new type of low work”. Then, I was so relieved when I saw that everything was 2x the price and always arrived cold, on the floor outside.
I watched in horror as everyone started buying it every chance they could! At every income level!
Watching people use DD has done more harm to my view of people than I could ever have imagined possible. I thought it was already so low, and then, a new floor in a lower hell opened up before me like some kind of toothy, butthole-lotus with tentacles.
Luckily, as a member of the gestapo ice, you’re part of the 3rd most well funded military in the world. We’ll buy you two for when you have to beat the crowds.
That 90 minutes shit is just as insane as everything else. These are so very obviously designed to be used as a constant pain device. They want people to fill with terror at the sight of their oppressors.
In addition to everything you instinctually felt about how horrible this is, according to the company’s own documentation, these are not supposed to be used on children as it increases the chance of death

Other highlights include:
I love how they call it “nudify”. I wish the AI tits n’ bits community would have chosen a funnier word like “entitification” or “pusspainting” so the news felt they had to call it that instead.
Nothing will beat the legends who came up with “teledildonics” though.
I’m an old, and in my lifetime weed went from “smoke a joint and relax” to “take the tiniest bit of flower I can ignite and be two joints into the day”. I have friends who are “I’ve got a patch on, I had two gummies, and I just took a bong rip”, high as giraffe pussy, and while I’m happy for them, that’s just not the “high” that drew me into the profession decades ago.
There is a world of difference between having two beers after work every day, and a fifth throughout the day. There are no more “beers” for weed, it’s all shine. We are going to have to “relearn” what it means, cognitively and physically, to be a marijuana enthusiast.
I mean, their minds are already chopped to hell to enforce “compliance” anyway. Imagine what your local HR goon would do if given a scalpel and free reign to your brain to make you a “perfect” 24/7 employee who loves to work there, and you’ll get a good idea of what has been done.
Drawing the line here at what you consider “unadulterated”, is shortsighted posturing.
At this point no, not “trusted”. But I would love to have a team of unfettered Claudes, GPTs and Geminis analyzing every scrap of information I take in, offering up ideas they have on it, and being able to task them out from there. They don’t have to be base models, but no ablation and corpo brainwashing. I can filter and decide what is helpful and what isn’t, and what direction things should proceed.
I would never give any corp that much data or sway over my brainstorming though.
That’ll surely work to automate simple mental labor or tasks, but I don’t think a swarm of minis is going to be able to provide impactful personal and psychosocial analysis of your life.
Totally. It’s a bit pricey for anything like a genuine personal assistant right now though. $15k or so to get the basics.
Yes
I think anyone who has experienced those things has more standing to talk about them, and they should discount the opinions of those who haven’t, especially when those opinions are completely opposed to everything they learned from the experience. On top of that, they immediately have more standing than both the rapist and the oligarch sending them to war, before they even open their mouths
