Just: We absolutely must wall off Meta.

Cat: Yeah, don't give Meta a single inch. They need to GTFO.

Cat: Hey, don't knock an opportunity for a dinner with a shitstain billionaire. You'll never have a better chance to kill them.

Just: Honestly, we figure Twitter will keep staggering along until its servers implode.

Cat: To slip poison into their food, duh.

C: AGI is possible. If it weren't, we wouldn't exist. The laws of physics permit the creation of conscious agents, therefore it is possible for one to be deliberately engineered.

I'm not sure what she expected to happen?

r/HermanCainAward. All those stories of antivaxxers biting it are cathartic.

Just: Firefox.

Digital Rights Management. AKA the stuff that's supposed to prevent unauthorized copying and suchlike, but in practice just means the pirates have a better experience than legit customers.

Just: Brain jank related to plurality (the situation of multiple people living in the same brain).

Cat: For clarity, much of it was learned through direct practical experience.

Cat: Not equal, triple. Need to make it HURT.

Just: I am a specific process running on our brain.

Cat: They shouldn't even be allowed access to the children they do make themselves.

Madeline: We've done enough reading on Schizophrenia to know that's not what's going on here. In addition, some acquaintances of ours have both schizophrenia and headmates, and there are very noticeable differences between the two phenomena.

Cat: loads rifle and syringe get your shots, or get shot.

Cat: A nuclear lab isn't even in the right field to make human-animal hybrids.

Kon: We primarily handle it by not giving a single flying fuck. We go about doing as we do with all the subtlety of a jackhammer, and if someone has a problem with that, they can say it to our face.

Cat: Sorry, we'd rather keep our hand.

Madeline: Plural communities tend to be a high-profile target for various flavors of asshole, is the problem.

Cat: If someone can't be trusted to treat an adopted kid right, they can't be trusted to treat any kid right. End of story.

They're out of air by now. They ded.

Cat: waves

Cat: Hah, running a Discord server's more than enough modding for us. Absolutely no interest in modding a Lemmy community on top of that.

Just: Accurate.

Cat: As for why here, there isn't a counterpart to r/plural yet.

Cat: Sure? But in the morning, we're sleepy rn.

Cat: If we were doing this for attention, we wouldn't be anywhere near this bluntly casual about it. There are people who fake plurality, but they tend to be laughably over-the-top about it.

Just: Plus, fake it long enough and hard enough and you're liable to end up with headmates anyway.

Just: Not DID; we lack the disordered aspects of that condition.

Just: As for the how? Just intentionally address internal speech at a specific person for long enough, and eventually they start talking back.

Just: Why can be summed up in two words: Quarantine loneliness.
