A Recurring Problem

I can fix you...for a price

Just accidentally hit tab while writing an email and ended up with an "improved" version that just sounded like an AI wrote it...can't imagine why!

No wonder it's so hard to tell who's actually a real person on the Internet.

@MomaBera haters gonna hate

[A Recurring Problem @ARecurrngProblm]

@Aella_Girl I find it fascinating. Either they're being deliberately obtuse for rhetorical or engagement purposes, or their heuristics are so wild that they actually believe what they're saying.

@MomaBera looks pretty hot ngl

[A Recurring Problem @ARecurrngProblm]

@LizzyStarrrdust Absolutely wild results and these women need to contact me (I need someone who can just jerk off on their own and be happy)

@2nd_zoeyy sounds like something a data miner would say

[A Recurring Problem @ARecurrngProblm]

@nikitabier weak af; give me more battles

[A Recurring Problem @ARecurrngProblm]

@MomaBera Why not both?

[A Recurring Problem @ARecurrngProblm]

@LizzyStarrrdust It's easy to get tired when you actually have to work and don't absolutely dread the next day

[A Recurring Problem @ARecurrngProblm]

@drethelin Surely not, but most people don't seem to care about it that much

[A Recurring Problem @ARecurrngProblm]

@MomaBera Most people are

@Aella_Girl Is it possible to just ignore the people who say things like this? Like are they offering you something useful now or is there any conceivable future where they might be useful?

If not then fuck em. You don't get to use someone as a trauma dump without anything in return.

@allie__voss I am also a "no step on snek" guy but I wouldn't buy a flag and tout it. Maybe it's less about the politics and more about the fact that you bought a flag instead of something you could actually use? Idk maybe I'm giving her too much credit.

[A Recurring Problem @ARecurrngProblm]

@LizzyStarrrdust This works great as long as everyone is capable of taking care of themselves and you also have the skills and tools to fix the broken things. You also inevitably get into the "that's your job" realm when there's things that nobody wants to do like dump the shit buckets.

Happy 4th of July!

On this, the 250th anniversary of American independence, under the oldest written national constitution still in operation, it is important to reflect on Rome.

Many of the Founding Fathers’ minds were steeped in the world of the classical period, Rome and Greece, and they drew inspiration from them to establish the United States as a federal constitutional republic with a separation of powers and a civilian-controlled military.

Thomas Jefferson himself was deeply educated in Latin and Greek, and built a classical monument, with Enlightenment-era touches, in his home at Monticello.

Jefferson was deeply afraid that the levers of power within this nascent republic could be seized by a Caesar: a politician with populist support who could overcome the strict separation of powers inherent in the Constitution and turn the republic into a despotism.

Over the course of U.S. history, the rise of executive power in the figure of the president, at the expense of the other two branches, has been a constant affirmation of Jefferson’s fears.

Now, more than ever, the executive is at the zenith of its power in our history.

In many ways, we are lucky that this weakness in our system has been so nakedly exposed by a president who, while having incredible innate political instincts, does not have a true vision, nor is he possessed of an ideology beyond his own enrichment and self-aggrandizement.

However, our checks and balances are weak, the executive is monumentally strong, and like Jefferson, I too fear a Caesar.

Here is to another 250 years and beyond for the United States as we know and love it: “A republic, if you can keep it.” —Benjamin Franklin

@Luxandoros I think that's a lot of the fun of this platform. It's like an Ancient Roman forum but it's also cyberpunk. Who's real? Who's a shill? Who's a bot? What a time to be alive!

Real people with real passions should be starting these kinds of discussions, not AI or engagement farms.

@LizzyStarrrdust it's the pleats
