  • That’s nice, but that doesn’t help us prevent our current predicament, or stop the alienation of disenfranchised voters in the future. Hispanics by and large also voted for Trump, and those were not “protest votes”. That does not mean they deserve the inhumane treatment ICE is perpetuating towards them.

    There are 89 million untapped voters, Democrats should be salivating over that. Instead they are pairing with the Cheneys and moving farther right.

    Harris broke fundraising records with her candidacy with 64% of those donations being first time donors. They actually could have had the momentum to mobilize non-voters. Instead they capitulated to corporate interests as usual.

    Again, the problem isn’t “protest voters”, they are such a small percentage. People focusing on this are ignoring a lot of other factors, and honestly it seems like another way to scapegoat a DNC systemic problem.













  • I just googled Tira-292b and you know what, it doesn’t set off that uneasy feeling for me. It just…kind of looks like Westeros? Which is based on parts of Earth so I guess that makes sense.

    Also, thank you for the recommendation, I WILL be checking this out, if only to test my uncanny valley triggers to this a bit more. Time to experiment on myself 😭


  • Every other planetary surface you’ve seen is rocky dirt, icy dirt, straight-up ice, cratery dirt, or opaque gas clouds

    Wait this is so true, and I’ve never even thought about it. Space photography has a lot of pictures from the Moon, Mars, and Venus (I’ve never seen those Titan photos, so thank you for the link), but there are no “real” photos of a planet with oceans. That might be where the “uncanny valley” kicks in, with my brain going “this doesn’t look quite right”. I do get a similar feeling when I see AIgen videos, so you might be onto something!

    We almost certainly got no idea what its continents look like at that distance.

    I understand this, but I also get unease from RNG maps from games like Age of Empires or Anno, and I’ve talked to a couple of other people who also have experienced this, so I was wondering if there was an underlying psychology to it. However, it’s not an easily Googleable query, and I refuse to ask an AI chatbot about it.
