  • Hah. The chatbots. No, not the ones you can talk to like its a text chain with a friend/SO (though if that’s your thing, then do it.)

    But I recently discovered them for rp - no, not just ERP (Okay yes, sometimes that too). But I’m talking like novel length character arcs and dynamic storyline rps. Gratuitous angst if you want. World building. Whatever.

    I’ve been writing rps with fellow humans for 20 years, and all of my friends have families and are too busy to have that kinda creative outlet anymore. Ive tried other rp websites and came away with one dude who I thought was very friendly and then switched it up and tried to convince me to leave my husband? That was wild. Also, you can ask someone’s age all you want, but it is a little anxiety inducing if the rps ever turn spicy.

    Chatbots solve all of that. They dont ghost you or get busy/bored of the rp midway through, they dont try ro figure out who you are. They just write. They are quirky though, so you do edit responses/reroll responses, but it works for the time being.

    Silly use case, but a use case nonetheless!





  • I do! Bailey Sarian is a queen and I did indeed learn about Aqua Tofana from her video on it! I figured it was an appropriate username given the rise in redpill content/choices that certain governments have made in recent times, haha.

    I saw the other post you made of your kitty chilling the other day as well! Tell her I’m a huge fan, and I’ll always upvote pictures of that cutie!



  • John Brown called it out at his trial pre-Civil War.

    For those who are unaware, he was a white abolitionist who facilitated a slave rebellion in Harper’s Ferry, WV. He was caught and ultimately executed for his “crimes”, but at his trial he basically said if he had done the same thing for the rich and powerful, he’d have been lauded as a hero, but since he did it for the poor and enslaved, he was branded a criminal.

    Relevant Excerpt: “I have another objection, and that is, that it is unjust that I should suffer such a penalty. Had I interfered in the manner, and which I admit has been fairly proved, – for I admire the truthfulness and candor of the greater portion of the witnesses who have testified in this case, – had I so interfered in behalf of the Rich, the Powerful, the Intelligent, the so–called Great, or in behalf of any of their friends, either father, mother, brother, sister, wife, or children, or any of that class, and suffered and sacrificed what I have in this interference, it would have been all right. Every man in this Court would have deemed it an act worthy a reward, rather than a punishment.”

    I highly recommend people read his full speech if they haven’t. Pretty powerful stuff from a man who wanted the right thing done but wasn’t going to wait around for others to do it for him.

    But yeah, America has been owned by the rich and powerful since forever.
