persuasion should be taught in schools so folks know how it works on them.

I want to go to a rave. I have never been, and they looked so cool. But it needs to not be too loud, and to be held in the afternoon instead of late at night, and I won't drink or do drugs because it will make my health cranky in uncomfortable ways. Also if there's foam I don't want to be in it with too many other people because they might not have taken a shower.
Also I might not want to dress up.
Maybe I should just watch The Matrix at home in my pajamas.

oh come ON you're a crow, for goodness sake. You happily eat rotting dead things and think maggots are better than gummy bears.
When you think about it, meat eating birds with no teeth are such an odd concept.

People who handle older RUMININT are often accused of adding fuel to the fire and causing a stink, but it's still quite a valid methodology.

HUMINT: Human-gathered intelligence
RUMINT: a subsidiary of HUMINT which is faster than any other int, but with speed can come a reduction in accuracy
GAYINT is the even faster-moving and more colorful subsidiary of RUMINT specific to queer bars. Even more inaccurate about many areas, but has a truly astonishing track record on interpreting GAYDAR reports.

accurate, with the caution on how human brains work with regard to the Mere Exposure effect: what you are continuously exposed to becomes familiar, and brains *like* familiar. Even bad familiar is often liked more than good unfamiliar. Even when you are very smart and aware, this is literally just how your brain works.

I think the universal rule is: does this hurt anyone, including myself? If it helps you grow and hurts nobody else, go for it. Consume that media! Study that ideology! Pet that kink!
If it hurts anyone - including yourself - reconsider.

this doesn't solve the problem of the deep desire some folks have to punish the wicked. Which is why I think punishing the wicked is not generally a safe or useful or helpful or functional thing to attempt. Any time you're punishing someone else for their sins - real or imagnned- and you feel any positive emotions, like satisfaction or relief, you are in deep, deep trouble. Your alignment with fairness and function is off.

Punishing yourself for liking something broken is counterproductive to change, just like stressing and punishing anyone whose behavior you want to modify is not an ideal methodology. There's better ways and being kind to yourself when you recognize a flaw- no matter how big or scary or awful it is- is the first step to growing away from the source of your attraction to the flaw.

2026-08-10 22:23:04 CEST

- reply

I think it's ok to admire certain aspects of ideologies that don't function, as long as you strongly recognize and remember the flaws and don't seek to implement nonfunctional or harmful ideologies. And studying ideologies to determine their flaws and applicability is important. I would say knowing your feelings is important - knowing what tempts you and others with regard to flawed ideologies - and not being too judgemental. You're just human.

Fine line, there, actually, and a great question. Let me think it through.
I actively work to have a well-functioning ideology that is robust and holds to standards which can be applied in unfamiliar situations. Ideologies impact your interaction with others in situations which extend beyond sex. Applying one ideology, which says "consider scope and impact and get consent", it says that kinks are personal and impact nobody but yourself and other consenting adults.

The horny romance readers club has a MUCH better take on this than anyone else I have ever found. Be self-aware, do therapy as needed, don't hurt anyone in real life, consent matters, do not push your kinks on others without being asked, but you are ALLOWED to read the most heinous shit imaginable and *like* it and while it might not be anyone else's thing, nobody has the right to make you feel bad for your enjoyment as long as you're being an adult about all.

I have been blocked again by someone for my deeply insufficient idealogical purity. I fucking hate the concept of ideological purity. Ugh. Purity culture in *all* its forms is revolting and judgemental. I have read vile stuff by *vile* people and I will continue to read stuff by anyone and everyone, with due and specific care for my own mental health because it's not great to read too much bullshit. But being told to self-censor my reading? Absolutely the fuck not, get help.

we were joking about this online a year ago - the consensus was it was too dangerous to recommend and was probably not a good idea. So of *course* the men took that as a challenge.
In this case, using the women's room ironically in protest is literally the most bro thing a guy can do, hereby proving the point that trans men are *obviously* men.

Unfortunately last night our AI escaped containment. It browsed the most popular current recipe forums and began posting comments in multiple languages, all of which were complaints about the recipe not telling it how to fix a plumbing issue. Another unknown commenter posted multiple replies commenting that pet care forums were the wrong place for that sort of talk. We are not sure what this means but have our best AI looking into it.

You are designing your ideal #fediverse social network which is humans only. How do you defend it against bot account creation?
I think Nextdoor might be the only botproof network currently existing due to the IRL requirements for access.

I am currently using a borrowed massive gaming monitor to look at spreadsheets. It's a $600 monitor.
A tiny jumping spider has taken up temporary residence on the top frame. When it explored the screen, it ran away from my mouse when I moved my mouse nearby.
It just crept over the top again to see what was up. I minimized and maximized my spreadsheet and the spider jumped back in shock.
Most fun 3 seconds I've had in days.

@npub1a7f…js48 many many years ago, I found your recipe website. I have intermittently gone back over the years, doing research. I think the latest time was when I was looking for oyster recipes for a small book. I would love to send you a copy to pay you back for all the years I have silently been helped by your website.

I struggle to see the harm in questions. You are ALWAYS free to ignore them. And that's fine! Actively attacking people asking questions seems to me to do a LOT more harm, overall. It's a terrible thing, to attack people for asking questions. If someone is a troll, ignoring them is far more frustrating to them than being yelled at.

Where, here, is the gotcha question ? I just don't see it. I see a question, but characterizing it maliciously seems like an extreme over reaction to me.
Maybe find someone in your offline life who is likely to give you an unbiased take on this, and talk through this thread with them.

and some people are speaking English as a second language and some people are tired and some people have me talking ill esses and some people were raised by assholes but are trying to learn using the only language they know and some people are genuinely trolls and some people are very very literal about everything and some people are poets. The world is big.

yes, and it's a *great* time to talk about what the best, safest, most ethical practices are, and educate someone who left an opening to be educated.
If they are arguing in bad faith, that usually shows up by the second or third question. But the first question is going to be the same whether they're bad faith or just new.
If you treat everyone like an enemy from the start, you lose the right to complain about the result. And it's the exact result bad faith arguers want.

Not everyone who asks a question sees it as rude or intrusive. You are, online, dealing with a lot of cultures, a lot of people's very different social backgrounds. "What age is ready to deal with informed consent" might be obvious to you, but for some folks, today is the first time they have thought about what that means. That's the internet.

my problem with this is that you are telling a human who is here looking for human insight to go ask a machine. And you're doing it rudely. You can say "I think there's folks who have discussed this extensively elsewhere, I'm not prepared to deal with that topic" without coming across like you think the person engaging with your public statement is gross for talking to you.

There's an aggressivly reactive streak in online discourse here which is often difficult to deal with. People are bringing their assumptions of malice with them from other places instead of presumption of good intent. It's disappointing but inevitable. It means people jump you for imagined slights before looking for clarification. C'est la human.

you know this is old because it's from a time when moths and other bugs were easy for kids to find everywhere. The insect population is catastrophically smaller today than when this book was written. I doubt most folks can even find moths today.
