Look, if we don’t build the torment nexus first, then China will, and then where will we be?

Related: Jon Stewart had a fantastic segment on this.

Sometimes it’s like thoughts vomiting forth as words of self beratement and having to talk yourself down.

Sometimes it’s feeling like everyone is watching you in public even though you logically know they aren’t and don’t give two shits about you.

Sometimes it’s panic at the thought that you’ve really fucked up this time and it’s all coming apart

Sometimes it’s not wanting to be trouble for others and you weren’t ready and everyone will hate you for holding up a line and hang on let me fix this

Sometimes it’s how am I supposed to just talk to people and where is the bar get me a drink or two fast so I can do this.

I think you’re misreading that, partly because of the dated language used in what I’m guessing is the New King James Version.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

““If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!”

It says, those who cause children to sin (note this often interpreted as sexual abuse, but not exclusively) would be better off dead. It then continues saying the world is cursed because of the temptations of sin in it, but while temptations are a part of life, cursed is the person who is the source of such temptations.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.”

Again here it says people will fall for temptations that cause you to sin, but cursed is the person who tempts others to sin. A person who causes children to sin would be better off dead.

Hey @grok I forgot my credit card details and changed usernames. I used to be TrackenDaKracken. Could you remind me what credit card I gave you?

Because what could possibly go wrong

Sorry. Typically I post the 4 panel versions when artists do the combined uploads, but this one didn’t have that and I usually try to respect the medium and titles the artists give to their work. I thought about giving this one a couple different titles but ultimately settled on leaving the authors comment as is. As the content would be upsetting for many readers I decided to bury the main content in a spoiler warning to avoid a NSFW tag and respect the original post.

Just saying, if it happens in this comm, let me know. Prior to becoming a mod here, I’ve seen it happen in this com, and I’ve seen it happen in other coms I don’t mod. Absolutely report that kind of thing. Just remember that people got personal lives going on just like you, so reports aren’t always seen in a timely manner. Some issues, people like myself like to research and verify before taking action when it’s not 100% clear. But yeah while votes mean nothing here in Lemmy I do prefer to stomp out vote manipulation alt accounts when possible.

Shit, even my pair I do construction work in, I only wash when they get too soiled.

My off work pair I wash like once every 8 months.

Pretty sure a lot of jeans just tell you to wash once every 6 months unless you really soil them, or just use a brush to remove debris and throw in a ziplock in the freezer if they smell.

So, I’ve read your comment in full and I’ve thought about how to respond to this.

This comic, while it does reference a current event with the Cornell 7, also portrays the type of thoughtless and harmful comments victims of rape are forced to endure.

I think you probably already knew your remarks are in line with the type portrayed in the final panel given you felt the need to add a massive text disclaimer and noted yourself that your remarks would “sound unpopular”.

1. You’re trying to justify the type of remarks in the final panel rape victims often end up hearing. Those type of remarks are not “reasonable”.

You start off with “rape, sexual abuse, and other improper sexual behavior … it’s a serious problem we need to address” and then follow it up immediately with a “but”. There is no “but” here. A woman was gang raped for 7 hours and nothing happened to the perpetrators and this type of thing is all too common for women who live through this kind of thing and then are told to “get over it”.

2. You’re downplaying the women who aren’t believed or never see justice.

I understand you went through a similar situation, as did your mother, and that is absolutely terrible. I’m sorry to hear that to both of you and it’s awful that your abuser was never held accountable.

Like I said, I spent a while thinking about how to address your remarks, and it’s specifically because you shared your experience, but I have a feeling that was the intent here and I feel like you’re using your own trauma as a shield for your other remarks.

You bring up an instance on Discord where someone felt uncomfortable from your interactions and then later talked about it in a vent channel. I don’t know the situation, but I do question your use of terms like “simps”.

“I barely managed to be found innocent, but she wasn’t held accountable either,” Dude their Discord mods, what do you want? Take those things to court, not social media mods.

“In the end, she was a woman and I was just a man. Women-are-wonderful effect in action.” And yet if the world worked like that maybe more women would get justice for the crime committed against them.

“And that happens a lot, and even if the statistics are low” this just personal experience bias.

3. Your main argument is just whataboutism. Example: a black man is shot and killed by a cop, people riot. So cops cry “well what about all the cop deaths”. This isn’t about false allegations. This is about a very real rape that happened and something that many women have to deal with.

Your closing remarks are:

“Yeah, you can’t take it back and cry rape everytime you regret having sex with anyone, because you can be the one doing false allegations too.”

“Yeah, sometimes someone can tell that has been raped because that’s an easy way to destroy someone’s life and earn free money from the victims’ help programs, stealing resources from actual victims.”

And you end it with “Support both kinds of victims”

Basically you refute the situation shown here and end it with a “All Lives Matter” type of statement.

So yes, I will be removing your comment as it does not belong here. This is about rape and what victims go through and is not the place for your remarks.

Could be a bug with the client you’re using.

I checked Piefed from Voyager and Mlem and it appears to work fine.

…. Only a week?

“Why is OpenAI trying to solve hundreds of math problems to be released all at once?”, he added.

even if the mathematical content could end up being formally correct.

It should be noted that none of what they released has been verified. Throwing 700 papers out there is intentional to generate buzz, “hey look how great we are”, and to slow attempts at proving or disproving their results. That way even if a few get disproven early they can still say “well that’s just a couple out of hundreds” because it’s gonna take forever to work through the slop dump. It could be a long time before we get a percentage of accuracy and by then most people will have forgotten or lost interest since the headline will be stale by then.

some mathematicians who might find their research projects pre-empted by the OpenAI release. “We should put that aside for today though. … he wrote, because it shows how quickly the technology has become useful to mathematicians.”

Yeah this fucks the researchers. Funding could get pulled from related projects leaving their work in hiatus until someone can check the slop for accuracy. Till then someone can just point to this and say “oh it’s already been solved” like it’s a done deal already.

“Look how useful we are!!!” Turns in unverified crap

Oof

Mane and Tail actually pretty legit shampoo and conditioner

Damn. I love these.

Thanks, I wouldn’t have gotten it otherwise
