Can you help me understand what allyship entails? As a Black woman, I’m really confused about what people believe goes into being an ally. I see so many people declaring themselves to be allies and then everyone acts as if that label exempts them from unpleasant inspection or correction. So Rose says some of the women…

Yeah, I’m not defending Damon here. I had a really intense debate with a friend who argued that he wasn’t going to stop seeing Woody Allen or Roman Polanski movies because he separated the art from the artist.

Children are so much easier to teach than grown men.

Holy shit. It was not fun watching Roy Moore hold a lead for the entire night. Though it was satisfying to have it reverse with less than 10% of precincts left. Huzzah for meeting some basic level of human decency in Alabama.

With all the ceaseless arguing, toxic fandoms, and very few, but very loud, horrible individuals, it is easy to forget that games are fun. These types of wholesome gaming stories always warm my heart and brighten my days.

Yep. It’s especially good at defusing the “Roko’s basilisk” idea, since an AI that was simulating our universe in order to test us would have to assume that it, too, was being simulated as part of a test, and thus wouldn’t be free to act with godlike abandon either.

But no, that IS the argument - that’s where mathematical probability comes in. If you assume that at some point in the future it will be possible to develop an artificial reality, with fidelity down to the subatomic level, that can simulate the history of the universe, and if you assume that if such a thing is…

Maybe WE’RE the glitches!

They’re basically saying “We can’t figure out how to make a computer that could run this kind of simulation, so it can’t happen.”, which is extremely similar to saying “We can’t figure out how a heavier than air craft could possibly fly, so it can’t happen.”

So...you’re saying the 2016 election could have been a “glitch?” Because I’m good with that interpretation.

There’s another part to this story. It was in response to this accident

“after refusing to violate hospital policy”

Jesus - when she sobs ‘why is he so angry’ is heartbreaking. His hands are actually on her and no one around her is able to stop him. She’s totally vulnerable, he’s unstable and everyone is helpless to prevent him from forcing her into his car. How absolutely terrifying.

My sister is a nurse practitioner. Her job is very difficult, stressful and at the same time she finds it rewarding because she saves children’s lives every day. I cannot express how angry this story makes me and I only wish his firing is the least of the repercussions he will face.

To be fair, she does give one hell of an inspiring speech ;)

Good. Actions have consequences.

Fuck CNN

my worst Miss U.
