@MrJameGumb Oh sorry! I was refering to the notion that society created race.
Ok... How was that in any way relevant to a story about a different friend sending you an AI birthday greeting?
Also your essay seems to suggest that you don't think people should express anything within the context of race, fair enough I suppose, but then you seem to take every opportunity to mention that your cool friend is Dominican... It's very confusing
I’d compare your intelligence to a bag of rocks, but that would require you to know what a comparison is.
yep, you can fuck off with this bad faith shit too
I am also, in good faith, confused.
@theilleists See https://tweesecake.social/@weirdwriter/113107170585217382
alright
nothing like this or that can be paraphrased to this appears in the article
robert is describing how he, as a Blind author, experienced both his best birthday message and his worst one. he illustrated why he thought his Dominican friend’s message was beautiful and contrasted it with his other friend’s utterly thoughtless AI-generated message, which that friend sent even though they knew Robert’s views on AI
none of this is particularly objectionable unless you’re a big AI fan or you dislike interracial affection and you’re reaching for a problem to have with, as I mentioned, a Blind author affectionately describing his friend’s voice
@self Bingo! You got it! Thank you! For others, the contrast between the messages. My Dominican friend sent me a caring message that was lovely and heartfelt. The other one was careless and sent me a generated thing that I never even expressed interest in in the first place. I was contrasting the feelings of receiving those two kinds of messages
just by reading this comment thread as-is, and searching up one single word, should be all you need to become less confused
Looked it up, and,
OK. And the author said he was referring to the fact that society created race. Sure, fine.
I'm no less confused as to why one would refer to their friend as "racialized." This friend is a person whose race has been created by society? But then that's true of everyone. What makes the Dominican friend racialized if Karen is not? If they both are, why refer to one as racialized and not the other?
your good faith evaporated almost as fast as my patience. fuck along now
in fact, fuck it, I don’t want any of this utter bullshit in my database
