  • Must do something useful? You’re the one selling the damn thing. You can’t build a Pinto and then tell people “we have to stop burning to death or we’ll lose permission to keep production faulty cars.”

    There is something inherently wrong with your product, and you can’t even fix it because you’re too busy shoving it down everyone’s throats.

    It’s like you’re trying to bake cookies using pieces of every plagiarized baking recipe, whether or not they’re related. Then, before you’ve actually tasted the cookies, you’re telling everyone to reach into the oven and try using this “basic” cookie to modify and make their own cookies.

    Except the cookies haven’t even baked yet. And before you’ve ever tasted a single fully baked cookie, you’re announcing modifications to your cookie dough recipe based on feedback from your previously undercooked, improperly made cookies.

    Go back to small scale. Let people bake their own cookies at home, and report what they’ve discovered. Try upscaling those recipes, and see if you can make any parts more efficient.

    And quit telling people to eat your tainted cookies that are poisoning everyone, and then telling them that if they don’t start enjoying your cookies soon, then you’re gonna have to shut down your factory.

    Your cookie/Pinto/AI venture deserves to be shut down. Take the L, learn from it, and try again after you figure out how to get it right. Bake a better cookie instead of trying to make better consumers.


  • I think that they’re saying that blackface is just as malicious as drag, ie., not malicious at all. But that if they’re not allowed to pretend to be black and make racist jokes, all to celebrate white pride, then why should other people get to “pretend” and celebrate queer joy?

    They’re saying “if I can’t do it from a moral standpoint, you can’t do it from a legal standpoint.”

    But their actual honest reasoning, the one that they whisper to themselves before going to sleep after praying to white corporate Jesus, is, “fuck those people different than me. I’ll sleep well knowing that I have the power to make others suffer.”









  • A teacher at the middle school where I (Texan) worked was complaining to me about how horrible it is that she had to teach sex ed. She said that the kids are too young to learn all this. I argued that anyone old enough to breed is already too old to start learning this. After some increasingly heated back and forth, I loudly asked “at what point during the pregnancy should children start learning how sex works??”

    To double down on her stupidity, she said “the girls wouldn’t get pregnant if the schools didn’t have to normalize sex for them!”

    Exasperated, I threw my hands up and said, “I forgot about the thousands of years during which humans cloned themselves because they weren’t taught about sex yet!”





  • Sell tickets for people to watch you, an untrained amateur, fire yourself from a cannon. Go for a distance record and don’t set anything to stop your fall.

    Similar outcome, provides entertainment (not useless), you can have all the proceeds go into a trust that buys a house in a rich neighborhood, and then make it a safe haven for unhoused people.


  • When I (Texan)lived briefly in the northeast, I loved cleaning all the snow off my car. It was so novel and so satisfying to watch it come off in layers. Especially using the ice scraper on the frozen bottom layer…

    A few years after moving back to Texas, we had an unseasonably and record amount of snowfall. I’d kept my window brush/squeegee/scraper, so I ran around my apartment parking lot, asking everyone if they’d like the snow off their car. Some people would see me gleefully cleaning a car, and they’d get excited, saying that they wanted to try it. Enough people wanted to try, that I just left them the scraper and told them my apartment number. A few hours later, there was a knock at my door, and my scraper was outside and 95% of the cars were completely clean.

    I guess the moral of the story is to fly in some Texans when the snow gets that bad? I dunno, I just wanted to share.

    Bye!
