When a man consents to sex he consents to abortion.
we should stop misattributing 'the greatest creations'
it's not Homer, it's countless mothers and priestesses who saved the myths
it's not Fyodor Dostoyevsky, it's Anna Dostoevskaya, whose unpaid labor created the books
et cetera
one of my RL friends added the newest Halo into wishlist
when should I ghost him
> a hijab in first 3 seconds of gameplay in the trailer
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
we GET it, folx, your game is wokeslop, no need to unsell it to me further
I really love the idea of Polly Pocket, but don't really like the modern execution and never had those as a kid, so investing into the vintage ones as an adult? eeh, I'd rather buy vintage Barbies
the feminine urge to mod factorio 💅
the feminine urge to install Stardew Valley and a fuckload of mods on top of it

Of course all the responses were “that never happened”
Of course it totally could have happened. Pathetic ass men will do whatever they can to get laid.

well, AI slop it is then
"criticizing Paralives is low empathy behaviour, they're a small team of indie devs working practically for free!"
offending my eyes with they/them pronouns is low empathy, if they're a "small team" for "free" 40k per month on Patreon, they should've downscaled 💅
at least they/themlings are seething about how this game doesn't allow them enough customisation because all those hes and shes pretending to be theys are never happy

I don't like to fuel the doom scroll , but know this-
We are at a pivotal moment in human history, and what is clear is all of humanity's intellectual proofs are being consumed by something that has no ethical impetus
It does not feel, as such it can never create truth. It can never be of identity, it can never be the deep context driven participant a human can.
If we continue to let the path unfold as is, the pursuit of knowledge and introspection will be scripted and delivered.

AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."
My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."
I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.
