I didn’t realize O’s beach scene is 15k words lol so their POV is quite long! It’s taking me a bit but I’m nearly done :))) It’s been the most requested one so far!

“The Dread Wolf inspires hope in my friends and fear in my enemies. Not unlike Inquisitor I suppose. You also know the burden of a title that all but replaces your name.”  Solas is a well of endless inspiration to me. <3

White broken racists deciding who stays and who goes should be your red line.

Because you'll be next.

Deportation is a process, not a fever dream for white criminals to wear masks and kidnap people.

It literally makes me feel like I'm losing my mind that almost no one in the global north on here will speak about, or even react to, the fact that the US is literally funding Israeli owned death traps for starving families.

The United States and Israel have made it impossible for all actual aid to enter Gaza. Then, private contractors from the United States created the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), with Israeli support, to "take over" aid distribution. They are preventing aid distribution by all humanitarian groups in Gaza that distribute aid in coordination with the U.N., and replacing them with GHF. These GHF sites are set up in collaboration with Israeli military to lure in starving families and gun them down.

A lot of otherwise intelligent people are scared to criticize chatGPT because they think there is an observed pattern in history where new technology is always either good or inevitable, and people who are skeptical of new technology always look like fools, and they are scared to look foolish when AI is The New Technology That Revolutionized Everything.

I am not scared of any of that nonsense. The first reason, is that chatGPT isn't a "new technology" at all, both because it is just a scaled-up version of stuff that already existed, and because "technology" implies a thing that does something useful and ChatGPT doesn't appear to do anything useful.

The second reason, is that the people frightened of looking like Luddites assume that because we are all alive, the feared bad outcomes of new technology have never happened, and that is just completely false. New technologies have sometimes had awful impacts upon human quality of life and the environment. Sometimes, unilaterally inferior technologies have replaced superior technologies for economic or other reasons. Almost always new technologies have a mix of positive and negative impacts.

In fact, I think the uncontrolled, rapid growth of generative AI and large language models is happening because of the common belief that "new technology" is always inevitable and good. This is a new technology, therefore "developing" it is inherently leading towards Something. But instead, the amount of resources and environmental and human devastation is simply accelerating and accelerating. The new technology takes everything and gives us nothing.

The weird virgin Alistair (says he wants to try something new and then spends ten minutes apologizing and saying that if it's too weird or too much you can say no and it's just a suggestion etc. before describing a completely normal vanilla sex act) vs the equally weird in the opposite way virgin Merrill (thinks that knifeplay is vanilla)

"i'm grappled. I'm exactly where i want to be."

yeah you would say that wouldn't you Maxwell...

there is no magic "the new generation will be more progressive as the old one dies" btw history has only had things get better because of people who didn't act like it was inevitable and acted like things needed to get better here and now and that will always be true

Superman isn't woke. You're just so evil that you see a man doing acts of kindness and you think it's a targeted political agenda
