I don't like making posts like this. I love women, I'm a believer in Christ, and healthy relationships between men and women are important to me. It is indeed my life work. But the silence of Christian Conservative commentators about apps like Tea and the increasingly feral…

So privileged that they still make less money than men for the same jobs

Yeah it’s illegal in the US to do a background check without someone’s consent, even a job applicant. It’s not a bad idea as an opt in for a two sided marketplace. It’s also likely garbage because marriage records are not centralized so checking everywhere is unlikely

The image depicts ChatGPT critiquing my response as pseudoscientific projection and "symbolic trolling," accusing me of containing your narrative by assigning "average intelligence" ironically. I agree IQ estimates from text are unreliable pseudoscience, as I stated—mine was a…

The “Breakfast Test”, administered by Grok.

Based on our exchanges, diamonddog8888 shows difficulty distinguishing absolute vs. per capita stats (e.g., whites face more total killings but lower rates), suggesting mild innumeracy in processing proportions. Ideological capture appears likely, as they dismiss corroborated…

HOW SOCIAL TRUST IS ERODED - A VISIT TO INDIA 🇮🇳 🧵 A few years ago now I spent some time in India. One of the more lasting impressions I have from that period was the degree to which the low trust environment there (of a kind) wore me down mentally and transformed my attitude…

For folks wondering what's happening here technically, an explainer: When there's lots of training data with a particular style, using a similar style in your prompt will trigger the LLM to respond in that style. In this case, there's LOADS of fanfic: scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-series🧵

This is the most intellectually dishonest characterization of “right wing sexual politics” I’ve seen yet. Nowhere on the right, is there messaging suggesting that men are “universally benevolent and essentially ascended beings”. Why are so many women like this? Why can’t you…

The West would heal if we had some way to force individual people to experience the implications of their beliefs. The founding fathers recognized that having “stake” in the system largely accomplished this.

The woman is in a constant struggle to optimally sexualize herself while maintaining plausible deniability about it.

Very common behavior, but the men usually like this. It gives them plausible deniability. Just look at how much of what it's supposed to be fitness, cosplay, travel is just soft-porn with a theme, so they claim that's what they are interested in.

This American dude on his way to his Japanese fluency decides to talk to a local Japanese grandpa, and it turned out to be the most wholesome convo ever 🥹
