“nobody in miami knows how to drive” “nobody in austin knows how to drive” “nobody in chicago knows how to drive” maybe we shouldnt have cars

Maybe we should find people who are good at driving and give them really big cars, and then people can just pay a small fee to be driven around the city. Maybe in a regular loop so people always know where they’ll be at certain times of the day.

But what if those really big cars were also really long and fast?

And what if they ran on electricity? But what to call them?

honestly christianity really hit the jackpot with “jesus christ” rolling off the tongue as an expletive so well. the number one problem with fantasy settings is that whatever names you come up with to take in vain will never hit as well as “jesus christ”

this guy gets it!!!!! this is the kind of rock solid phonetic structural integrity you have to compete with!!!! and no amount of marika’s tits or thal’s balls or odin’s beards will ever get close because with ol jeezy boy his name alone has all the features you need

northgazaupdates:

Multiple sources, including Resistance News Network and journalist Anas Al-Sharif, report the murder of young journalist Hassan Hamad by the occupation. Hassan ascended to martyrdom when the IOF bombed his home in Jabaliya, north Gaza. He recently reported (flash warning) for Al-Jazeera on the IOF’s sudden resurgence in bombing attacks on north Gaza.

We have frequently shared Hassan’s posts on this blog, and we are devastated to hear of his loss. He was a courageous and dedicated journalist who constantly risked his life to document the IOF’s genocide of the people of Gaza. He did not have a massive platform and he had almost no resources at his disposal. Yet he chose to put himself in greater danger, seeking out the site of occupation atrocities in order to show the world the truth.

Hassan was last active on his Instagram account just 2 hours ago. He was most active on Instagram and Telegram (graphic content warning). We ask our followers to share his latest updates, on Instagram if you have it, or by copying and posting the links from his posts across your social media accounts.

Please amplify the voices of the people of north Gaza, so that more people will know the truth, and so the courage and sacrifices of people like Hassan will not be in vain.

nothing has made me feel like an ancient grumpy crone more than the “using chatgpt for school is fine actually” sentiment among youths

if you use chatgpt to write your english assignments that is bad. you should not do that

this has been accelerated by watching my roommate who teaches freshmen composition slowly become ben_affleck_smoking.jpg as he has to fail multiple students every semester for using chatgpt

like. this is bad and this person should feel bad lol this completely misses the point of writing assignments. the point is the production, not the end product

critical thinking is a genuinely important life skill, whether or not you pursue higher education. fascism relies on anti-intellectualism!

AND IT’S TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. what are we doing here

Your ability to think for yourself is one of the most valuable powers you have, and one of the only things no one can take away from you.

Do not give it away willingly.

How does this stuff not count as plagiarism?

It is plagiarism, and it’s plagiarism even if you disclosed that you used chatgpt, because chatgpt cannot cite its sources and plagiarism in academia is less about “intellectual property” like disney type shit and more about being able to trace an idea back to where it came from.

Without the power to follow a line of citations back to the original source, human knowledge falls apart like a sand castle. You cant criticize an idea if you don’t know where it came from. You cant even tell if it’s true. If there is no source, you don’t know if it came from a reputable scientific journal or some pamphlet titled Why White People Are The Superior Race.

i think some professors are well meaningly openminded about these technologies and don’t really truly understand how they work. Which is not their fault, the technologies have been consistently called something they’re not.

ChatGPT creates sentences based on probabilities of what words are likely to go together. This is especially dangerous because it’s likely to say things that “everyone knows,” things that lots of people believe, the very things that seem the most innocuous simply because they’re commonplace, and are the most dangerously wrong because they’re commonplace.

ChatGPT’s training data contains all of the racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and other prejudice, hatred, and bigotry of the society that produced that data. The developers can stop ChatGPT from saying slurs and other disgusting stuff its training data certainly provides, but censoring the filth that is present within this machine really makes it more dangerous: the bigotry is still there, it’s just that the text will only be generated if the bigotry is subtle enough to escape these filters.

If ChatGPT’s training data shows that someone named “John” is more likely to be described as “brilliant” or “great” or “strong” and someone named Mary is more likely to be described as “pretty,” it’s going to make sentences that reflect that. If the data shows a statistical correlation between the words “Muslim” or “Islam” and the words “extremism” or “war,” it’s going to put those words together more often. Can we see how this might be a problem

your ability to have your own thoughts and ideas is so valuable. it is absolutely priceless and precious. You can be born into a world where a disease is incurable and become the person to cure it, you can be born into a bigoted culture and choose to believe in the value of all human beings, you can see a weird bug that no one has ever found beautiful or interesting or worthy of study and devote your life to studying it and learning to see its amazing and divine beauty. Why? Because you can THINK. Because you have your own mind and your own power to create new ideas and to direct and channel the love within your heart.

You are not just a muddled puddle of all the ideas and knowledge you have happened to encounter, passively absorbing whatever is around you. You have your own energy to confront the world with ferocious curiosity!

Screenshot of a Reddit post that reads: Never expected to have to deal with my mom grieving my boobs

I told my mom a year ago that I was strongly considering top surgery, and today I told her I have a consultation scheduled and she cried and basically begged me not to do it. (I've been on T for over 2 years, out to her and my dad for 1 year)

My boyfriend (who started dating me when I ID'd as a cis woman) is more okay with me getting top surgery than my mom lol ALT

Very fascinated with the phenomenon of cis women (especially relatives & occasionally random terfs on the internet) mourning the “loss” of trans people’s boobs.

Like girl it’s literally just fat & tissue existing on another person’s body, wtf is your problem?

Ive seen people be like in modern fantasy like “oh the pritagonists can just look up spells on their phone how do you solve that”

Imma be honest most people who go on recipe websites and book every recipe they see don’t even use them lmao why would with be different

Given how terrible most recipe websites are i can only imagine how bad spell websites would be

Having to navigate someone’s entire life story of how they became a witch in order to get to the part where they actually talk about the gods-damned banishing ritual

the number of ‘easy 3 step spell to fly’ that at best do nothing, and have a good chance of doing something very bad to you is non zero

Some people have “fuck you” money. You know, that amount you have in the bank where you can look at someone, say “fuck you, I quit” or “fuck you, I’m leaving” or anything like that.

This has now taught me that some people have “fuck you” time. and I could not be any happier with this knowledge.

The secret to developing Fuck You Time is developing Fuck You Skills. In the above example, the gentleman had the Fuck You Skills of

1. Being able to track down the superintendent’s doctoral thesis
2. How to check it for plagiarism
3. How to notify the relevant people of this fraud without sounding like a crank.

Since he has these skills, it does not take him MUCH time to preform the Fuck You. Hence, his Fuck You time might be only a few hours a week, but because he’s so effecient at the Fuck You, that’s all he needs.

Learn a new skill and how to tell the universe Fuck You! today!

Every word that starts with an N should have a silent G in front. Gnorway. Gnuclear. Gnervous system. Gnipples.

At some point my brain decided based on the word knee that body parts beginning with a n sound should have a silent k (particularly the word neck) so I am against gnipples wholeheartedly, it should clearly be knipples!

How about a compromise? Gn words and kn words get switched. So now it’s gneecaps and gnowledge, but it’s also knome and Knosticism.

the problem with this is that it doesn’t account for the original dilemma, which was gnipples vs. knipples 

I, for one, think it should be pnipples, like pneumonia 

Okay, but what about mnipples, like ‘mnemonic’?

This might be unpopular but I’m not going to use simpler vocabulary in my writing if it’s out of character for the narrator. If my POV character is a botanist, he’s going to call a plant by its name. If you don’t know what it is you can either Google it or move on just knowing it’s a plant of some sort.

I don’t like this trend of readers being angry that not everything is 100% understandable for them. I want my characters to be believable as people and sometimes people use words people outside of their field will not understand. That’s not a bad thing.

You don’t have to understand every word to get the gist of what’s happening. I’m not going to slow down an action scene to describe every weapon because someone might not know them by name. They can just assume it’s a weapon because that makes sense in the context of the scene.

I just had a debate with myself over using the word mezzanine, wondering if I should describe it instead. Ultimately I decided the character would call it a mezzanine, and therefore readers could look up a new word if they didn’t know.

It’s how I learned words like myriad as a seven year old reading Lord of the Rings for the first time, why would I steal that experiance from someone else by simplifying language?

I don’t know about y'all, but books are how i know my vocabulary in the first place

my favorite thing relevant to this is when a dumb character uses regional or obscure words completely casually, but i have to look them up. To me it’s a big weird word, but to the silly town drunk in a story what else are you supposed to call that thing??

anyway, read outside your culture as well, even if it’s just the state/city/country next door that you’ve never been to. you will expand your vocabulary substantially.

This is a trend?? Why aren’t the same people annoyed by sci fi and fantasy dropping original terminology into casual dialog? Or do they hate that too?

i looked up the word gullible in the dictionary and the page was blank aside from the words “look out your window”. heeding the page’s words i peered through the blinds, sidewalks illuminated by the streetlights. outside, staring up at me, i saw something that looked just like me. i was frozen in shock for a long moment, my doppelgänger looking up at me with a placid smile. closing the blinds, i took a breath and looked back to the dictionary held heavy in my lap. the page, no longer that sinister instruction, now read “lollll got you good”

front page of a zine called 'Tips for defying the end of the world (from people who were right before)'. there's doodles of speech bubbles and lightning boltsALT
In 2000 (when I was 8), I heard about 2012. [caps lock with lightning bolts around it] THE END OF THE WORLD. [end caps lock]. I curled up by the radiator and I sobbed. What was the point? why go to school if I was gonna die at 20 anyway? But my mum came in and said, [text in a speech bubble next to a picture of me in the corner, curled up by the radiator.], "But what if the world doesn't end? What if you live? Then, if you quit now, you'll have to catch up". [end speech bubble.] And I persisted. And I didn't die.ALT
And when I was real depressed one time, I told my doctor how overwhelming it felt to try to fix all the world's problems when I'm just one person. Activist burnout. And he said, [text in a speech bubble next to a picture of my doctor speaking to me], You ARE just one person. So you can't fix it all. But you can pick small things in your small radius, and start working on the small wins instead. [end speech bubble]. And he was right. I've done so much more with less stress since then.
ALT
And now, I look after some folk who are younger than me. They also fear the future. They fear politicians, and they fear hatred, and they fear climate change. They're burnt out.
But what if it works out? What if small changes today make tomorrow better?
Hope is a tool. Hope is a weapon. Hope is a plant we must nurture.
[There's a plant drawn dividing the page]ALT
Even if things go wrong, we can at least say we tried. But we hope for more. Because if we can picture it, we can work towards it.

I solved the problem of watching videos about language learning instead of actually learning a language when I figured out that they also make those videos in Spanish because surprise surprise English speakers aren’t the only ones putting off doing something by watching videos about how to do it.

So now instead of procrastinating in English I’m procrastinating in Spanish. Which sort of means I’ve stopped procrastinating? I may have just created a paradox is what I’m saying.

My friends and I used to do this thing where we’d dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.

We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.

We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.

We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, “toga! Toga! Toga!” at us.

We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.

I used to do historical reenactment when I was at University. I would go to class before session as a Norman knight, and when the session was over me and some of my buddies I did it with would get the bus home in the same kit. Stop at the Tesco’s in full armour for beer and supper and ice cream, then get together at Irish’s place for a LAN party.

It’s enrichment for all involved.

I remember being told I was 900 years late for the battle, and asking the bus driver where the horses were.

I genuinely think the world would be a much better place if more people felt comfortable dressing a bit silly out in public.

but hand on heart the only example I’ve ever seen of it – and I can’t find it anymore – it was a fakeout and the punchline was, ¾ into the video, the minecraft steve on the bottom half of the video parkours into a house, and the podcasters on the top half of the video are in there, and he kills them

“We need to bring cringe/shame back” more like you need to learn how to sit with the discomfort of people liking and doing shit you don’t like.

I myself sometimes feel it when I browse social media and then I remember that other people having fun isn’t about me and guess what ? I stop feeling uneasy.

You don’t viscerally need to say or do something about things you found cringe. You can just look away and mind your own business.

So many people who get periods are like “Ugh it sucks that having a menstrual cycle makes you almost die every month” like no that’s not normal you need to go to the doctor

If any of your symptoms go beyond “just like, super annoying ugh whatever” levels you should probably go see a doctor about that

You should not feel so depressed you want to die, you should not be getting mood swings so bad that you become violent, your cramps should not be so bad that you can’t get out of bed, your period should not last more than a week, you should not be losing so much blood that you feel dizzy. Go to the doctor.

A large part of housecat vocalisation toward humans isn’t goal-directed communication, but rather, affiliative signaling: a simple call-and-response protocol which establishes that the participants are part of the same social unit. Amongst themselves, most housecat affiliative signaling is non-vocal, but humans aren’t really physiologically equipped to respond to such signalling in a feline fashion, and cats, well, they’re adaptable.

Which is to say that when your cat yells, and you yell back, so the cat yells again, and so forth, what you’re really saying to each other is “hiiiiii~”.

This is why it is important to meow at loved ones.

A largish percentage of human vocalizations are this, too!  When your human co-worker says “Workin’ hard or hardly workin’?” or comments on atmospheric conditions or other readily-observable features of your surroundings, or generally statements that seemingly convey no useful or novel information whatsoever, the true purpose of these vocalizations is to develop and/or maintain the social unit of the workplace!   In effect, they are saying, “We are experiencing this situation together.  We often experience situations together.  Let’s be allies!”

Some humans will even make vocalizations of this kind to complete strangers, such as when waiting in a line or using public transportation.  This behavior is especially common in situation that may involve some form of inconvenience or frustration, such as waiting in a long line or experiencing a delay.  In these contexts, the vocalizations communicate, “We are both experiencing the same unpleasant situation; let’s not make it worse by being aggressive to one another.”
