@JJ_McCullough My great grandpa was actually a pretty celebrated war hero, with a wikipedia page and everything - but people in the family don't really take pride in that because he was kind of a horrible guy
somehow the right's biggest issue with anthropic is that their employees want to improve the lives of the world's poorest instead of endlessly accumulating wealth
@Faj1791 I fear a lot of Southern Dem brain seeps into the national consciousness - Michigan is only 16% black, even a 10 point swing in net margin is unlikely to be decisive the way it would be in Georgia
@AlcalinoO_o That's literally why I transitioned as late as I did. Age 11 onset "I feel extremely uncomfortable in my body/feel like an ogre, have diet issues, am socially anxious + depressed all the time" gets slotted into the depression box if it's 2009/there's basically no trans visibility
@KivanBay And this is why the Haidt thesis (transness tends to proliferate in pre-existing friend groups proves it's a social contagion) is fatally flawed - it assumes that friendships formation is an independent, largely random variable
@KivanBay That was me too :) my high school best friend group were all terminally socially awkward eggs who are doing much better now - neither we nor they clocked the dividing line but boy was there one
@BigTheGyat@CantEverDie Just about all their shit got ratio'd when it was posted, they privated it, and it came back very well liked π God do you have to be astroturfed to use the word doll in your profile & not understand anything about us
@TheAleksee It's breathtaking how little Matt knows about anything, arguably US & UK pol in the 19th century were far more invested in the goings on of the world particularly in continental Europe
