  • Do incels have some core complaints with validity? Yeah, online dating has been designed specifically to make the majority of people using it feel bad. There are genuine problems that men face in society that women don’t and they don’t get support for. However you can’t pick and choose the members of your ideology, only your choice to share it with them

    The ultimate problem is that red/blue/black pill ideology is all rooted in the manosphere and incel culture. By utilizing their terminology you are associating yourself with a group of misogynists, racists, and terrorists

    Which is to say someone who says “my MS makes my life difficult enough as is, so I choose not to struggle with dating on top of it” is different from “I’ve been blackpilled because these Stacys won’t consider dating below 8.5/10s”

    There’re other points to be made with regards to being “too ugly to date”, why people dislike non-traditional sexualities, and modern dating culture. However, I’d bet if you went into the real world and talked to real people about specific struggles leading to deciding to no longer date without a bunch of internet words you would see a lot more support


  • 28 Years Later 3.5/5: Man, they just decided to get weird with it huh? Look, there’s one gigantic, swinging, singular thing to talk about in this movie which is a batshit crazy choice but overall I think this might be the best in the series. I’ll have to see how they turn this into a 3 parter before I can commit to that opinion

    Oh, Hi! 3/5: This was a mystery movie monday movie and I think this one is going to resonate with a lot of women. I would have liked the ending to be a little less ambiguous, which is how I’m choosing to interpret it because if I take it the way everyone else online did then the movie loses a star and a half

    Prey (2022) 4.5/5: Dan Trachtenberg continues to put out the best Predator movies. It’s probably not fair that I like this more than the original because it is so clearly a love letter to the original. Still the story works really well on a re-watch when you see the formula for the movie much more clearly. I had zero expectations for Predator: Badlands and Dan has quickly moved it up my must see list




  • I think we’re both dancing around the same ideas. If Pandora openAI hadn’t already opened the box and loosed the horrors upon us this would be a different conversation. Open source models do return some of the grossly abused power away from mega-corps which is always a good move. However the creators of those models need to be held to higher standards than I think we hold most projects to online




  • I’m going to disagree here. We do regulate some of those things, there’s plenty of things that are illegal on the internet and many governments including the US will hold you accountable for hosting illegal content. Gun makers have been sued on multiple occasions because of their unsafe practices. Car manufacturers are responsible for selling vehicles that meet minimum safety standards

    The creator of a tool should have some level of responsibility for it, even if someone else utilizes their creation nefariously. I’m not saying Sam Altman should be sued for manslaughter when chatGPT tells someone to kill themselves (there’s plenty of other things I think he belongs in jail for, but I digress), I just think that being open source doesn’t absolve you of the responsibility of putting up guard rails. Not every invention deserves to see the light of day
