how come some ppl have bios but it doesnt give me the option to have that as well? do i have to be here a certain amount of time or....?

i have a question- are only switch users here, or is this an actual site? im curious because i got here using the DNS on switch, and i dont know much about it

wow thank you

Do not start this again. I suppose I will have to lock the topic. If you have any complaints take it to mods, or deal with it privately.
Any of this “you wouldn’t say this irl” goes both ways, all ways.
If you dislike someone, block them.
If they say anything breaking any rules, report them.
Nothing requires arguing.

@seesaw This is a very good writing, and yeah, AI agrees with everything- it has even encouraged criminal/suicidal behaviors, causing actual death.
I have first hand experience of incorrect people using AI for validation, and this causes actual issues, such as an unnecessary boost of confidence in misinformation.
I know someone who took art in college, and was very bothered by the 'AI art', which people used when they were too lazy/stingy to get a real compentent artist, and this person wrote a multiple page essay which covers the points you've brought up, so I'm very interested.
It's my opinion that AI use should be limited to numbers, summaries, and small tasks. People misuse AI, and AI has no actual morals, so it is all up to the people...

uhm yea

@Skiesandstars Bud, you do know that not all websites work on here... right? Most sites have too much data for the switch to handle, etc. There is no 'fix'. Sometimes I do wish more stuff worked though tbh.

If everyone with hyperfixations is autistic, I'm autistic.

@seesaw thanks a lot for the info

@Jujub_811 Mayhaps follow the rules of basic politeness, think before saying things, and don’t engage with particular people you don’t get along with.

Wait I love that gif... oh, and I have a sibling who was a real homestuckian about ten years ago.

I think the most talkative people online are more introverted irl. It applies to me at least, and for another thing, introverts are slightly more common overall.

@Eggyz999 You just need to learn simple chords in all keys, learn about time signature etc, which I think comes with learning piano. Really, you just need a bit of music theory, like what chord would go along with a specific single note. Knowing about all of the different keys would also be helpful. The most common time signature is 4/4, which means a quarter note = 1 beat, and there are 4 beats in each measure. The most basic key is C major (because it requires no sharp or flat notes). So I just recommend studying up a bit, and you'll have a clearer direction in general.

I use default tbh, I felt weird using other ones. I enjoy being blinded by the white....

@TheToast Maybe you should put that in your bio? People can't really contact you unless they click your profile, so they'd probably see that better than this post, which will inevitably be buried under other things.
(Unless of course this is targeted to a particular person, in which I apologize for intruding)

@Jujub_811
People have things against many people, this isn’t just race. People have always wanted to find outsiders.
If everyone is inside a circle, there will be a new outside if you see what I mean. If everyone is rich, nobody is.
To have hate in common, and people to sneer at is something humans have been doing for a long while. It makes the haters have something in common with all the other haters, makes them feel included in a group that is “better than the rest” (like supremacy)

When people enslaved people, it was helpful for them to find a reason to make these people less human. Less money paid, less guilt for treating these slaves wrong. It’s a mix of the human selfishness and instinctual wish for survival that contributed to having slaves and removing guilt for how morally wrong it is.

Like during WWII. Jews aren’t a race, but an ethnicity. They are different based on this grouping they were put into by words and a few different features. This surely wasn’t the main reason for the hate and crimes done against them. It was only because of the words that grouped them, and the different lifestyle. And it was because people have hate in their hearts.

When people aren’t doing well in life, there will be an almost desperate attempt to find perpetrators, find the cause of WHY they aren’t as happy or rich as they’d wish.
To accept the numerous reasons that aren’t black and white, and to accept one’s own impotence, is a blow to anyone’s self worth, the treasured ego.

Once you are looking for perpetrators, you have rewired your way of thinking. Viewing bad, looking only for malicious intent. The man responsible for the movement of hatred of Jews (and other groups) was really just creating a target for hate to be released, when before it was hate and anger radiating out of the people with no particular aim.

People always hate, but hate to admit they don’t always have reason, or that the reason is really just the unrestrained nature of people in power when morals are forgotten. So many little things can build to bigger. Little cultural differences, little physical differences.

People are racist, people are ableist, people are sexist. There are always going to be groups that are hated, always have been.
I repeat that this form of hatred is NOT limited to racism. It’s all tied together, all from the same roots.

The only reason one might try to call it “skin tone” would be because they were raised with prejudiced people all around them, so that this color is tied in with the personality that they were told is bad. The skin and features are only a way to group people. It is not only the skin.

Why are people with a particular eye color never oppressed or hated for these attributes? Because that isn’t a particular group of people with a name smacked on them. As soon as people are labeled, they will be attacked based on this label, because labels are the beginning of objectification.

Perhaps I ought to be more optimistic though, maybe there will be a fix to these problems at some point in time.
Too bad I do believe this works like the Dunning-Kruger effect. Those uneducated to their own bias don’t know it exists, those who have blind spots can’t see what they are blind to.

All I have said is based on my own perspective, how I think of the issue. I believe racism is linked to psychology and not just events. Choices made by humans sprout from the mind so that is where I look.

@questionoftheday Because homeless people aren't always documented number 1, and prisoners are put in prison as punishment for a specific amount of time until they are judged, perhaps losing their life, perhaps not. To kill a prisoner would be a felony, because they are in the legal system's custody, and starving them would kill them. Homeless people are in nobody's custody so the system doesn't care.

2/10 because of the direction everything is turning, particularly politically. Besides that, bad home-life year as well- all in all, I'd rather skip it entirely.

Beautiful car art. It motivated me to eat 50 donuts and smile gleefully. The fire victim made me spit them out.
