I hope Sailer is happy he finally got the "African 'big man' presidency" he was sure Obama would be, from Trump.

I wonder if anyone's going to show up naked because they assumed it was an orgy.

The middle picture looks very much like a young lesbian couple.

Not that there's anything wrong with lesbian couples of any age. It's just with this pair it's... odd.

I can't help it. I see a picture of them and it's like a puzzle I need to solve.

Basically he's like the dudes who left Twitter for Gab or Truth Social and found it boring because there weren't any libs to own.

I suspect there are people who have complicated theories about the relative whiteness rankings, and thus superiority, of natives of Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

The authors said on Twitter that they aren't EA's, but they surveyed people at valley AI companies to write the report, so it's probably quite influenced by EAs.

There's probably some blurring of what "AI doom" means for people. People might be left thinking that "there could be negative effects due to widespread job loss etc" without necessarily buying into the weird maximalist AI doom ideas or "torturing simulated you forever" nonsense.

And the weirdo cultists probably use that blurring to build support for their cause without revealing the weird shit they actually believe.

"widgets" must be a euphemism for "opioids"

The African slave trade of slavs? I think she means Arab. Or Arab/Muslim-osphere.

I wouldn't think sub-Saharan Africans ran a lot of ships up to the Baltic or the Black Sea to capture slavs for enslavement. Ottomans, yes. Barbary pirates, perhaps. Of course some of the most prominent of the Barbary pirates were actually raised Christian or Jewish in Europe, and joined the pirates as adults.

And I wouldn't be surprised at all if Europeans also captured slavs for sale to the Ottomans.

Why the hell would anyone think about Cyrus the Great every day, let alone fondly.

My general assumption is that ADHD is both underdiagnosed and overdiagnosed but I'm generally chill about it and not a gatekeeper. But the recent shortages and delays have me a little more on edge about it.

Shit like this is exactly why I'm skeptical of FTX boy's Adderall prescription.
