This was supposed to be the second half of my other post, but I mis-hit a key. I initially just replied to myself, but I am re-posting it directly so people will see it because it’s fucking important.

Google “algorithm, bias,” asshole.

I WISH I had a cookie. Alas, just pizza.

Dude, I didn’t start using weed until I was in my 40s, and my mother didn’t start until I did. I need to be lightly stoned on a low THC/high CBD strain in order to work more than an hour or two at a “sitting” (quotes because I either stand or fully recline). But since my ears are too stopped up to transcribe anything

Twitter and Facebook are both garbage and we should all stop using them unless we’re using them to call for them to be broken up and regulated, and their algorithms subject to scrutiny.

I knew there was another point I was forgetting to make. But then again, I am extremely stoned, because I am extremely sick, which is why I’m reneging on the behavioral modification program that I designed to reduce the amount of self-loathing I feel by reducing the amount of news I consume.

This was supposed to be the second half of the post, but I mis-hit a key.

You know how we can tell that social media algorithms were created almost entirely by white guys? Because women and people of color routinely have their accounts shut down for reposting abuse from white men, while the accounts that originally posted it remain up. I’m not saying they did that on purpose. I’m saying

They always do when the market responds to pressures they themselves do not exert.

On the contrary, there should be more attention paid to the FBI report, since it says pretty much the exact opposite of what Trump says it says. This outrage is happening now because they just recently started enforcing their zero-tolerance policy.

So you think detaining children who were old enough to travel by themselves is the same as tearing breastfeeding children away from their mothers, do you?

Publishing the phone number of a public official who is actively in favor of ethnic cleansing is not losing the moral high ground.

And I guess you can’t tell the difference between a child old enough to be an unaccompanied minor and one that is still breast feeding.

Doxing is bad when it’s used as a weapon against someone who is already being victimized and abused, as opposed to being used so that people can complain directly to the person who is doing the victimizing and abusing.

In 1992, I worked as a personal trainer in a serious iron gym. My training partner and I were both muscular enough to compete, but she’s the only one who did, because she was black, whereas I would have had to have been painted orange. No thanks.

The mere fact that so many white men get defensive over the mere use of the words “white men” is a testament to how much white male has always been the default setting to which modifiers like “black” or “female” have been added. White men have never seen themselves as part of a group, but as individuals, whereas the

You lied and said the state is bankrupt. I refuted your lie with an actual fact about the size of the state’s economy.

Never forget that Hitler only came to power because he was embraced by the conservative establishment, because they thought they could control him better if they kept him closer.

That “bankrupt, trashy cesspool” recently went from being the world’s sixth-largest economy to being it’s fifth-largest, surpassing the UK.

Bullshit. If American oligarchs actually cared about immigrants stealing jobs from Americans, they’d go after the people that hire them. But they don’t, because hiring people who will work in poor conditions for substandard wages without complaining for fear of being deported increases their profit margins.
