Here’s the thing

A Marvel joke used for when someone is going to spout a bullshit reason but instead of saying said reason, attaches an image of The Thing/Benjamin Grimm usually doing something ridiculous or intellectual.

Mostly used in the game community known as “Marvel Rivals”

Person 1: If you can give me one good reason I’ll do it
Person 2: Well you see… here’s the thing.

Person 1: Why the fuck does this Thing keep targeting me?!
Person 2: Well you see.. here’s the thing.

Bias of Impartial Things

A pervasive bias where human creations—institutions, systems, artifacts, knowledge—are treated as if they were impartial, objective, and free from the human interests that produced them. The Bias of Impartial Things projects neutrality onto things that are anything but neutral: science shaped by funding and paradigm, technology embedded with values and assumptions, culture carrying centuries of history, economics built on particular theories of human nature, law encoding power relations, secularism reflecting specific historical struggles. The bias treats these human products as if they fell from the sky, as if they weren't made by particular people in particular times with particular interests. It's the ultimate fetishism: forgetting that humans made the human world, and treating that world as natural, neutral, inevitable. The smartphone isn't impartial; it's built with minerals mined by children, designed by engineers in Silicon Valley, powered by algorithms trained on biased data. But the Bias of Impartial Things sees only the device, not the world that made it.

"The algorithm is impartial—it just processes data." Bias of Impartial Things: treating a human creation as if it weren't human. The algorithm was trained on historical data full of bias, designed by engineers with assumptions, deployed by companies with interests. But the bias sees only code, not context. The thing seems impartial; the world that made it disappears. Impartial things are never impartial; they're just things whose making we've forgotten."

It's the thing you said but at you

This is exactly why you have to take a hard stand on "mentally retarded people are retarded" See? This is me being correct again.

A literal retard "It's the thing you said but at you! Derrrrrrr!"

Hym "Literally everyone who sees this knows that they are just lying for you and we all know that you're just repeating the things I say as though it does something other than illustrate the fact that you're mentally retarded. A lot of you were crying like a bitch. Some of you did it for several years straight. This is just what happens when you let retards think they are people. I'm not going to forget. They may be willing to pretend for you but I know they are pretending. You know they are pretending. Just like your Jewish incest cult, the ritual is rendered entirely meaningless by the fact that it isn't real. And does it make you any less of a fish-faced cripple? No. Am I still the creator of AI? Yes."

Citing me for things I would never agree with

Just like you're doing to Nietzsche, Jordan. This isn't a reaction from you. It's your entire schtick. And now that thought kids are dead what do you have to say for yourself? NOTHING. How many children need to die for you to succeed in life and in hiding your own shame. I won't let the pathetic dregs you've supposedly saved shield you forever.

Hym "Now you are citing me for things I would never agree with. And for what? To steal my success from me to make a retard molester not wrong to molest a retard? So breeders can pretend they aren't the scum of the earth? It sure as hell isn't to protect kids. They are already dead and their blood is on your hands. All so you can play golden prophet."
