“I know chatgpt is bad but you just don’t really have any choice” you literally do. Don’t use it. Have some moral backbone.
it’s been like 2 years. i havent touched it. never needed to. “you don’t really have a choice,” are you so swift to forget the recent past? Bitch i still use itunes to download mp3s to so i have them forever and any song i want, then my sister burns them to CDs. When boycotts rolled out my other sister got no thanks to scan what products we shouldn’t buy. i still use corded headphones not because “its older” but because it’s easier. a fool criticizes those who buy candles 200 years after the invention of the electric light until the power goes out. become ungovernable. you are not immune to propaganda. you’ve never had Chatgpt forced upon you, the only thing forced upon you is the idea that Chatgpt is forced upon you. why claim you need something today that you didn’t need yesterday. little bitch.
Video game which initially appears to be, and is promoted as, a cozy small-town life sim, but after about ninety minutes the town gets firebombed, all of the quirky NPCs you’ve been building relationship hearts with die, and the mechanics shift completely to a Pathologic style survival sim. If anyone complains to the developer, they simply mildly point out that it was clearly marketed as “Ghibli inspired”.
Okay, this may be just a joke, but I think if you do this right it could be an extremely poignant game! Rebuilding your community after collapse, knowing it can’t be the same but maybe it can become a home again. Comforting people who seemed strong before the event as they fall apart, helping them become whole again. Remembering those who didn’t make it. Working alongside people who were always scared (and still are!) but are now stepping up to do the work of rebuilding anyway. All the same kind of interactions you’d expect - gift giving, small tasks and requests, daily conversations, home decoration. Old friends leave. New ones arrive. Some are nice. Some are prickly. But you’re all working and living together in the same community.
You could even do the survival sim mechanics of you want, but the optimal strategy should always be building community. Help others when they fall and they’ll do the same for you.
so ummm welcome to my jar:) lemme show you around! theres some holes poked in the top so i can breathe, theres some leaves to munch on, and ive even got a twig! #mytwig
Shocking how many people don’t know that hens lay non-fertilized eggs and think the yolk they’re eating is a baby chicken
once tried desperately to make my friend understand that yolks were not, like, a liquified potentiality of chicken, and she looked at me for a while and then said, “but they’re both yellow.”
Laios Touden isn’t stupid. He’s weird and pretty much universally viewed as being autistic-coded, but he isn’t actually unintelligent. He’s just as intelligent as Kabru. I get that it’s funny to call him an idiot, and he is sometimes, but it’s out of character to depict or treat him as one all the time.
Whenever I wear a band shirt and no one asks me to name five songs, I get a little sad cause I was PREPARED for that moment with my favorite songs ready
if you dont care about the suicide rate of trans men/mascs because it “reminds you of mras” then youre not actually serious about fighting transphobia. you just want an acceptable punching bag and will shit on minorities if it means making yourself feel better.
imagine saying you dont care about the suicide rate of queer women or the murder rate of queer man. you are no different than any other bog-standard bigot.
Being afraid to worry about suicide rates is awful. Full stop.
And real MRAs don’t worry about the actual suicides; what MRAs are concerned with is making feminists doubt themselves, trying to make them believe that dismantling the patriarchy is a bad cause. Because in the MRA state of mind, it’s feminists that are killing men, not the patriarchy itself.
Hot take: igoring the suicide rates of people with non-feminine genders means you’re far closer to the radical “feminists” that fill comment sections with ‘Misandry isn’t real YET!’ and “Let’s make that male suicide rate higher!” You don’t have to worry about looking like an MRA if this is what you’re emulating, if you’re not afraid to be reminiscent of reactionary radical “feminists.”
If you’re afraid to acknowledge high suicide rates just because of the gender of the people killing themselves, fuck you.
also ngl, making fun of the male suicide rate is just like, it really just stinks of bigoted erasure of marginalized ppl (and in some cases also the gleeful encouragement of the suicide of marginalized ppl) . How many of the “men commiting suicide” from those rates are queer men? How many are trans women who never came out? How many of them are men of color whose lives were ruined by racism? How many of them were intersex? How many were poor men committing to escape the horrors of poverty? How many were disabled? How many were facing severe religious prosecution? You assume that bc the statistics are counting “men” that only people with systemic power are being counted, that their suffering doesn’t matter bc the only thing that matters is that when a surveyor counted numbers they marked them down as “men” ergo no other axis of suffering matters. Its sickening, they’re actively laughing at the suicides of marginalized ppl bc the only thing they care about is the gender some statistics person put on a chart.
I’m telling this story again b/c fuck it but anyways I was playing D&D and one of my friends went “brown bear brown bear what do you see” and on cue three of us turn to him and like, death metal screech “ALLLL”.
The dude goes completely pale faced. I saw true horror in his eyes.
He didn’t know the joke.
So apparently dude just had three of his best friends demonically screech at him for no goddamn reason.
I do not think I will ever cause that level of sheer terror and confusion ever again in my life.
i haven’t watched a single episode of severance and while it does pique my curiosity at this point i think it’s way more interesting and funny to learn everything i know about it via tumblr osmosis
TLDR it was a professor from Uzbekistan named Vladimir Reshetnikov who did it because he wanted people to be more interested in the niche problems people would post on there. Cleo wasn’t even his only account, he was doing multiple people
obsessed with the conversation around queerbaiting coming back because of 911 but pinknews still chooses to use a cover photo from a show that ended 5 years ago. her influence🩷
psychoanalyzing the gender/identity dichotomy between ice skating and ice hockey and coming to the more objectively correct conclusion that ice hockey is rooted in motherly feminine behavior of protecting the nest and that ice skating is about masculine peacocking of one’s own physical prowess in seeking a mate
They’ve been rebuilding the Tower of Babel, but this time they have a team of linguists on site. Every time God smites the builders and invents a dozen new languages, the linguists have a dozen decently sized translations in about a month and work can start up again.
The linguists have been really into it. They say the new phonemes are fascinating. As for God, I assume that at this point he’s just curious to see how far this goes.
To keep us on out toes, God gives the next group of builders an extra place of articulation called the flongus between the pharynx and the glottis, creating an entire new column of the IPA chart with sounds between sounds that are literally physiologically impossible for non-flongled people to replicate.
Improved symbols for the flongal plosives (“gacks”), flongal trill (“hacks”), flongal fricatives (“groans”), and and the flongal lateral approximant (“moans”)
Update: The builders have now simply switched to communicating entirely through a universal sign language like they should’ve done to start with. No sounds need be spoken, flongal or otherwise. The Tower steadily rises. Be seeing you soon, God, you little bitch.
update: the builders are all speaking different sign languages now
so I’m filling out pediatrician intake forms for my newborn son and I get to the demographic section and I was already chuckling about putting a marital status…
yes hello my 3 day old son responds to only Old English, thank you
