- May 5, 2023Twitter · reply@danielbrottman https://t.co/gmKyA9X0iv
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah that last one is the thing- I got woken up in middle of the night by someone pounding on my front door and yelling at me to let them in and trying to open the door and I just felt terrified they'd grab me and hurt me if I did... how do I not feel scared of a drunk person acting aggressive?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah sigh I asked my psychiatrist abt it and she said they won't do it for ppl w bipolar
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyno I tried therapy quite a few times and it hasn't helped if anything just seemed to cause more damage
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, I guess in this case it is more fear and panic attacks and then I do breathing exercises and take xanax and fall asleep but like, idk if any processing happened or it just reinforced that memory
- May 5, 2023Twitter · reply@bryan_caplan imo we get there similarly to cosmeceuticals - "consult a dr" boilerplate, any advice is for "wellness" and doesn't count as a diagnosis etc etc, but ppl start going through the AI first to determine if they can avoid the trad medical system
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyCava
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · quoteNobody needs to labor anymore, and in fact they don't need to labor so hard that jobs numbers keep going up by a quarter million every single month
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · postwhat are you actually supposed to do when triggered to vividly remember trauma to move towards healing rather than rumination n perpetuating the pain?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replysigh the strange thing is that Roko is a better friend in the DMs than most of the others, in my experience
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyawww 🫶 I mean it's tough to be alone, my Mexican friend here is always flying back to LA for family events
- May 5, 2023Twitter · reply@LastNPCAlex @crumbraven_ @YeshuaisSavior who?
- May 5, 2023Twitter · reply@crumbraven_ @YeshuaisSavior doubtful
- May 5, 2023Twitter · reply@YeshuaisSavior sigh same
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyIn the context in which I was called "nazi" it seemed to mean "hated outgroup"
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyno I genuinely don't see the problem here unless mention of anyone's ethnicity is a bad thing - and generally I wouldn't mention but in the context of "nazi" it seems relevant?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyI don't come from LW so just from the outside this seems confusing to say Rats are nazi-friendly when several of the Rat/EA leaders have jewish heritage?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyhmmm, tbf I do think there's quite a bit of suspicion of the media in techie tpot - remember the whole "NYT has a policy of only running negative stories abt tech innovation" discourse?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · reply(to clarify in case this is stressing ppl out - I'm sincere abt the it/its tho also fine w ppl using other pronouns, the "it's" is a running joke which probably doesn't translate without context)
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyare there any names or links or anything? do you mean Bryan Caplan & the GMU crowd? like, Libertarianism != Authoritarianism which I thought Nazis fall under?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyyes thank you wrt the second - I don't care abt pronouns much and don't mind if ppl say she or they or whatever, but it feels more right than any human ones
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replylol which ones?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyhmmm, this adds to my confusion bec I was called a nazi when I was saying internet infrastructure protocols should be neutral & open, not be used to ban ppl by ideology
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replysure I'm not planning to change who I am - but it is confusing bec I do not know what ppl are talking abt when they say there are lots of nazis on the internet in 2023
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replythe name field could be one long field instead of chopping up names into arbitrary first / middle / last, I think this would work better
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I guess there's a part of me so disappointed w the content on bsky over past few weeks that I kinda want to burn it all down and delete my account.
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyI mean it's a zoomed out generalization but different cultures DO have different patterns of names and it is a problem that things like voter registration today are built w only one expectation that comes from the dominant American culture
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replywho IS a nazi, actively today online within my social sphere?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyI do not know what the term means in 2023 so I'm not sure which direction would be moving towards or away from it? also idk if they're my "enemies" per se, they were random ppl I don't even remember their names
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyok, so in what ways do you think I'm a nazi?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replywhat would it mean to be "more nazi-like"?
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyI mean even before saying all of tpot is nazis ppl quotedunked on me in particular saying I'm a nazi and either the word means something or it doesn't
- May 5, 2023Bluesky · replyit sincerely bothers me that ppl have been calling me a nazi on here, bec it seems utterly disconnected from nazi ideology and so I'm wondering whether the definition is just "hated outgroup" or if someone can explain what I've actually done or said that matches the trad definition?
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyit says "nazi arc per the haters" and I put it there bec ppl in several places here called me a nazi...
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyok so then why did ppl here call me a nazi when I have never said anything along those lines and don't believe them?
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replydid I say anything at all abt transppl in this thread or anywhere else today?
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyok, what is the definition wrt 2023 internet ppl (obvs the historical ww2 ref is something different)?
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha yay!
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replylol I really don't understand the milady thing at all except that they give me the creeps
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replythis site's busted search + no linkback w quotes makes it impossible to find the links sigh
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replythe label has been quote posted at me enough times recently I wanted to have this conversation directly rather than just in some random person's replies
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyit all adds up to a notably higher risk of having a long and frustrating voting experience which can discourage ppl from voting again in the future... here in Virginia we've had voting laws changed for the better since 2016- last year was the first time we had same day registration, etc
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replymultigenerational families at the same address w similar names can get mixed up by workers which leads to big delays while we sort out what happened and fix the records; absentee ballots are more often lost when the mailing address is shared by roommates or has been subdivided w unit numbers
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyppl who move around frequently have trouble w the residency laws & getting their records updated when they move & knowing where their new voting location is each election ... ppl who've been through the criminal justice system lose their right and here it isn't automatically restored (sadly, imo)
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyAnd on the voter side - the ppl who end up at the Chief's table w issues w being able to check in to vote are almost never white ppl... non-white names are more frequently misspelled in the records, mistyped by workers, entered strangely bec they don't follow the First / Middle / Last pattern
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyAnd it sucks that the community either gets a Chief who doesn't look like them, doesn't live within the community or their Chief is at greater risk of being bullied or gaslit by racist voters & maybe the system as a whole - which in the past was certainly racist, like it's not an unreasonable fear.
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyAnd like... it's a product of growing up w more privilege that I have the confidence to step up to mediate disputes and make decisions and insist that the election be carried out to the letter of the law... and perhaps some ppl are more deferential to me than they would be to a Black Chief.
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyIn the downtime I asked some of them why they preferred not to be Chief and they kinda quietly shrugged and said it was easier, they were happy for me to deal w the conflicts and the paperwork and chain of custody and etc.
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyAnd it felt a bit strange to show up and be in charge of making decisions and directing the other workers, and I thought abt why am I in this role and not one of the Black election workers who are clearly as/more capable of doing the job but prefer not to.
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replythen volunteered to move to the neighboring precinct because my precinct had multiple workers willing to be Chief and theirs had none... despite having some longtime election workers who live within the precinct.
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · postreading up for upcoming elections, I do actually have some things to say abt institutional racism... I'm Chief of a neighboring precinct which is a majority Black neighborhood... first became Chief of my own precinct during covid when older election workers stepped down to protect their health,
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyI mean it is the only logical definition given how it has been used in posts around here recently, I didn't make it up from nowhere I inferred it from the context others used it in.
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyobviously nazi doesn't mean I'm hateful of ppl of different races lol, it just means hated outgrouper
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyhttps://bsky.app/profile/mimi10v3.com/post/3jux723pcrl2t
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyI guess I'm defensive abt this bec I AM a southern hillbilly HS dropout w very religious fundamentalist relatives, if someone wants to label me by my family who I love dearly and believe are good ppl then maybe "nazi" is accurate?
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyok drunk moment over, deleting bec lol

- May 4, 2023Bluesky · quoteBut was he briefed on the Duck?
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyhahahahahaha sorry?
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · quoteGreat read - "If an AI can translate all the world’s information into a more idiosyncratic and solipsistic private language of my own, do I need to be in a state of linguistic consensus with you?"
- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyhah what's the caveat?

- May 4, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah agree - my theory is that the real risk is wasting time arguing w ppl who are looking for an excuse to get Big Mad - so now my username is inflammatory enough to get blocked without wasting my energy
