I call up the dead
"This platform is full of disgusting pos individuals who laugh at a murder when the victim doesn't align with their politics. They have no moral highground to complain about bigotry in others while spewing this kind of hate."
Got blocked by a list but I don't think someone this awful gets to just walk away from this
Read further ahead and saw there was mention of the carve outs tbf, but those carve outs, especially in conjunction with the NHS currently, makes the bill completely ineffectual at mitigating the actual harms of modern conversion torture So the point still stands that no one should celebrate it
Checked LinkedIn and this is a wild thing to add from Marty Davies who attended. I don't know a single person that's celebrating personally
Unfortunately I lost the originals to time and only have these compressed, badly cropped insta uploads to show for but I like these even tho I was still learning fundamentals at the time
Do you think this was an appropriate response to someone bringing up "Trans Broken Arm Syndrome", which is a term used to describe medical discrimination that trans people face which can sometimes lock them out of life saving treatment?
THIS IS ABOUT HEALTHCARE OVERALL DIPSHIT You say you have a trans son and yet are completely incurious and dismissive of the actual discrimination trans people face But nah, lol broken arm wut myth rofl
Wild that this is advertised as no personalised ads or tracking and not the site being ad free (which it also does) Like you have to read the last bullet point to find that out when it feels like it should be the WHOLE POINT
And that makes a great explanation for how fucked the governments and their priorities are/were Only took four years
Same thing with outlets like The Guardian who never really reported on the biases Musk brought and the racism that has spread until after Musk's been very forthright with his white supremacy and the ways that impacts Twitter. Yet they even downplayed his Roman Salutes
The best tool for any writer who isn't creative It's me, I'm writer who isn't creative
If you want an example of the latter, here is a TERF lawyer admitting that the FWS ruling doesn't make sense within the context of "gender reassignment" being a PC Ofc she's saying the PC should be removed, but she acknowledges it's because the original wording is inconsistent with the ruling
Can't believe they changed the original posters to make them TRANS
Phil earned awards for his prior work and yet he says there's "nothing more important" in all of human history as the Backrooms which OpenAI themselves are happy to echo
One minute it's "People will have common decency and go into the correct facilities" and the next it's, "But people won't be decent and will go into the wrong facilities" These people will never realise that Hampstead Pond and Morrisons put the same amount of effort into segregating their spaces
The ending shots allude to this by showing places we've already seen in the real world plus Mary's simulacrum. We also see Clark's simulacrum, the big pirate version of himself. Unlike everyone else, his Backrooms version is tall and strong and near unstoppable
He's the first character to find the Backrooms (although not the first person. More on that later). When he does, he becomes obsessed with it, specifically pointing out how the place replicates things from the real world, albeit imperfectly and messed up
The main subject of this is Clark. He's presented as a lonely alcoholic emasculated by his ex who threw him out of his house before the movie starts. He's upset about it but doesn't have control over his life. The only people he talks to is his therapist and employees His life has gone downhill
This kinda hits on something in the movie too tbh. I feel like at least part of the horror of the film is a response to AI video and image generators and their dominance in culture I’d have to spoil the movie to talk about it tho
