1. That it’s wasting more water than ever and rang data centers are placed in areas where marginalized people live so they don’t get the same amount of water
2. That AI companies seek out rare books and destroy them to train AI
3. That the money being used is sent to the billionaires who want to outlaw gay marriage or planned parenthood or against other left wing issues, and AI is inherently MAGA/Capitalism
4. That it can use your data to find info on people you know and make naked images of them (someone claimed this because they’re in my contacts and they can search their Instagram and make NSFW images and they said it happened before. Idk if I believe them or not)
5. That it harms Gaza by sending money to the IDF
6. That it makes you a sheep and unable to think

These have been things told to me by the most angriest anti AI people I know

Genuine question as I am making an alternative history novella. I wanted to see how you would imagine Palestine being like in 2026, as well as what kind of history you think the nation would have from 1948 to now. Thank you!

I didn’t wanna say it but when my family member read their text when it was accidentally screen mirrored on the TV and they said this isn’t what friendship looks like. I don’t wanna tell them they said this cause they just shared their boundaries and I know cause of their past the idea of someone in my family not liking them will be triggering for them. How to apologize?

I didn’t wanna send that but my family member said that friends leaving them were because they felt censored and they don’t wanna see me make the same mistake they did and said if they’re really my friend they’d accept this with open arms but they said the attachment style is an enablement. I felt pressured to send tent and I feel bad.

Edit; my family member did apologize I should add. They were going through a friend abandoning them and were sensitive to see me fear abandonment myself. I should also add I’m an anxiously attatched person; but my family member saw their scenario in my friendship and now that theirs is over they apologized

It was a short uber ride but it was an old fart who was trying to start conversation. He asked if I’m Christian and I said yes. We were driving past a church and he said never go there and I asked why. He said the pastors gay and he knows that cause his son goes there.

He said his son is a “fucking idiot” and “he’s gonna split hell wide open as well as all the other gays” and went on about how no true Christian, especially not a Lutheran church like that one would ever have a gay preacher. He said cause Lutherans have lots of theology they should know better. He went on a rant about how his son almost turned Mormon and ranted about how he was gonna follow someone who took LSD and said “then he’d really go to fucking hell”

He said he’s certain that the gay pastor has something against Jesus because no crosses there had Jesus on them and therefore he’s trying to rid Christianity of Christ. I asked for this pastor’s name not because I even wanted to talk to the driver but because I was curious; and he then said “well I have no idea what the guys name is or even what he looks like…” I asked then how he even knew he was gay and he said “well I technically don’t, but I saw the rainbow flag by the door…” there was a moment of silence and then he said “maybe there’s no gay pastor… still going to hell though for mixing that shit with Christianity.”

I usually don’t like to start stuff with uber drivers as I struggle with a bit of agoraphobia and like to just get to point A and B, but this is the first 1 star review I ever gave, and I’ve had Ubers who were super mean and terrible in the past who I only gave 3 stars but I was just triggered beyond belief. Before I got out of the car he asked if I was gay because “why else would I be so defensive”

Sorry mini rant

Like is Northern Lights a rebuttal of The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe, Subtle Knife of Prince Caspian, and Amber Spyglass of Dawn Treader? Also, is the Book of Dust a rebuttal of The Magicians Nephew, A Horse and His Boy and The Silver Chair?

I ordered all six books and I am curious to know, as it would be interesting to read through after my Narnia re-read is done

“Look I’m anti Stalin, I just don’t like the west’s critique of ____” - in person or online

Liked videos: “Stalin did nothing wrong and I’m tired of explaining it (or something like that)”

“Look I think Putin’s (or Ayatollah or Ghadaffi or Assad or anyone like that) bad too I just don’t think the west____”

Liked videos: “No, Putin isn’t a dictator, here’s why”
