( I know I’m boring)

standard no MAPS, Zoophiles. I will not be afraid to hunt you down and spam you to death with oddly specific threats (damn the Biscoff!)

no anti-LGBT+ or TERFS

no NFTs

no Xenogenders (I swear to God you are not Hello Kitty you’re a dumbass preteen)

I do me with depictions (I am very respectful though)

I didn’t think I’d have to add this but please don’t post promos on my work, man I barely get enough notes to feed my fixation family.

America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)

To anybody asking if the Amish are a cult, the answer is yes, very much so.

They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.

The best method to determine if a group is a cult, in my opinion, is Steven Hassan’s (cult expert and former cult member himself) BITE model.

BITE stands for Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, and Emotional Control.

The more points a group “scores” on the model, the more of a cult it is.

I think this model is the best one for several reasons:

• It’s more nuanced than “cult” or “not cult” and doesn’t make false equivalences between groups
• It’s versatile, applying to groups big and small, and cults of all kinds, religious, political, financial, etc.
• It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader

This is a great example of Thought Control used by cults whenever they’re confronted with criticism.

#you might notice that there are a lot of similarities between cult techniques and those of abusive partners#and that is an important thing to be aware of

yah that goes in the post

The creator of the BITE Model considers abusive relationships to be two-person cults.

It’s important to note that almost every sect of evangelical christianity in the US today fails the BITE Model.

This was the post that lead to breaking my JW mindset. Been a while since I seen it.

I’m glad I could help in your deconstruction, if only a little bit. I wish you all the luck in your journey moving forward.

ur future nurse is using chapgpt to glide thru school u better take care of urself

Yep. This is terrifying. I’ve caught nursing majors, engineering majors, architecture majors relying on ChatGPT to do their homework. These are people who need to know their field well to ensure people don’t die and they’re letting a glorified algorithm cheat them through school. It’s so dangerous

hey. hi. I work in academia. and there are a lot of student-age folks on this site.

don’t do this. don’t use genAI. even if your professors give you permission. even if they ask for it or suggest it. if they do anything short of directly requiring it (and I weep, because I’ve already seen assignments that require it) don’t touch that crap. if they do require it, stick it to them. be as maliciously compliant as possible. be a nightmare.

I know it might sound easier right now – just plug in your assignment and get the answers. you don’t care about this class anyway, it’s not for your major, you don’t see the value of the assignment.

but for your own sake, for the sake of your education and mind, and for the sake of the future world we want to have: learn the stuff. you are not as stupid as the corporate bizzaro kings who want to rule the world think you are, so don’t give them reasons to believe it.

and odds are good genAI is gonna give you corrupted info anyway – more and moreso as the machines cannibalize themselves.

just don’t do it. not even “I just do it for XYZ–” no. stop. there is no valid use of generative AI, and even using it for memes or lolz feeds the system and directly feeds the pockets of the people who want to replace you anyway.

Rage reblogging this. Yesterday i got into an argument with one of my college friends who is using chatGPT to do all her work. We’re psychology students. The whole group chat laughed my arguments off as if they didn’t matter because “she’s an artist, of course she’s anti-AI” and i had to deal with it. This is a warning. If your therapist graduated in 2023/2024, ask about their opinions on chatGPT. They might lie to you if you ask “did you use it to graduate” directly, but try to make jokes about it and play it cool. If they’re into it, DROP OFF. FIND A NEW ONE. Do not trust your brain to someone who didn’t bother to use theirs.
