machine learning systems are susceptible to the implicit biases of the data they are fed

so do other learning systems, like humans. you are not immune to the environment you were raised in

that's literally all "check your privilege" means. become aware of the biases of your dataset and seek to overcome them

@packbat At such time I get back to having full, fluid dreams, I'll upgrade to "it's fun". Ah well!

This thread about the sirens being misinterpreted from "promising what you want" to "promising sex" is relevant to what I think would make Pleasure Island more threatening as a concept: namely, not just smoking, drinking, etc., but satisfaction of one's vices.

Why I'm falling in love with poetry 

Because of the tears that flow when some poet pulls words out of my head and my heart.

Because of the laughter that gets stolen out of me when something I know to be true gets said out-loud

Because I can get called out the loudest, and seen the clearest, in the same 3 minutes, and I love that efficiency.

Because I can see people like me, and more importantly, people NOT like me, be taken seriously, and believed without commentary (except for response poems)

Because titles like "Ode to my Strap-on" "They Day You Died Because you Wanted To", and "Lessons Learned from a Third Grader" are all beautiful, for different reasons, that are all valid.

Because when I make my own, I don't need a beat from a producer (though sometimes it helps!)

Because hearing feedback and encouragement and audience participation reminds me of church growing up

Because I gave up on church and I don't get to hear "c'mon, now" spoken by a black lady anymore.

Because Poetry is as diverse as I want the world to be.

So after a little digging, it turns out that it is in fact physically impossible to ignite the atmosphere of Earth

But on the plus side, my weekend just opened up

The rag tag band of adventurers who go on to save the world always start out by meeting at a public house. At least that’s what bards and innkeepers will tell you.

I really envy whoever’s fursona is a light blue canine with big black YCH markings on xir chest and back, they get so much free art.
