The first time I took acid my friend and I were trying to make a ranked list of different divination methods and number one on the list was “you already know the information”
I would actually go as far as to say that MOST abuse is unintentional. I think most people will go through their lives without ever experiencing intentional abuse. People are abusive because they’re selfish, because they’re stressed, because they care more about what society thinks they should do than the impacts of their actions on their children and partners, because they think what they’re doing is correct, because they’ve made it make sense in their own heads, because they think they can fix their victims, they think they can fix their relationships, they think they can stop you from leaving, they think they can make you a better partner to them, they think that means you need to do what they want. We’ve sort of constructed mental illness in a way that doing this shit to other people counts as a form of mental illness because it is anti social behavior in the literal sense— it is behavior that causes social harm.
I don’t say any of this to excuse it. I think everyone needs to be more aware of this because if you think abuse has to be intentional you will never realize you are capable of abusive behavior. You will never realize you are being shitty to the people you love, because YOU know what you mean, YOU know you don’t mean any harm. But you’re doing harm. You need to pay attention to the impact you have on other people, and you need to do it all the time, Especially when you feel least capable of doing so. Sorry! You live in a society. Get your head out of your ass.
If the system ain’t broke, don’t fix it, I guess! Accounting may not be the oldest profession, but someone had to keep the books for them.
I mean, in theory I know that Excel is based on the structure of earlier accounting technology that’s been around for hundreds of years – what do we think we did to track commerce before computers? – but it still kind of blows my mind to, for example, look at my ancestor’s journal from a whaling voyage in 1770 and see spreadsheets in the back.
Some woodpeckers make dainty little holes that barely damage the tree.
On the other hand, pileated woodpeckers

Do the AI people know that the rest of us who never got on the bandwagon are still doing everything the same way we always have
The AI boom has changed literally nothing about my day to day life except I now have to work harder to get access to reliable information, all the important admin work is being done wrong, and I keep getting DMs letting me know the perfectly ordinary and plausible photo I liked was actually a fake image generated by a fascist to generate views and churn out ad money for the purpose of funding their tree-powered puppy-flushing toilet
