The ramifications of the fact that all the old Disney Channel/Disney XD shows take place in the exact same semi-masqueraded urban fantasy setting are mildly unnerving if you stop to think about them for five seconds.

Like, forget the crossovers, even the casts of the 'normal' shows (Suite Life, Hannah Montana, etc.) regularly stumble into the supernatural on their own time and they've just gotta shrug it off because they're in the 'normal' show. Their status quo has no framework for dealing with your friend getting possessed or falling through a time slip for more than one episode.

HALLO my lovely UK CITIZENS.

IT'S A GOVERNMENT PETITION.

Since a lot of Extreme Loser Tories keep defecting to Reform UK to get on a bigger gravy train than the one they're on/escape more sexual misconduct allegations/be more racist/the usual reasons for joining that binfire, and because it's bizarre that "the guy/gal/sentient ham you majority-elected as a representative of one party has decided to go be a representative of another party without consulting you, the people who put them there" does not already result in "you get another say in who represents you", it petition time

Recap on how these work/if you're Fresh to the concept it's just (no)cap: you gotta give real postcode. you gotta give a real email address for the confirmation email or it isn't counted. you can only sign it once. and don't fake shit because they do, in fact, check them and throw out petitions with too many ~fake~ signatures/too much evidence of tampering.

Okay then go check your email and do the confirmation. Okay. Bye.

PEOPLE NOT COVERED BY "UK CITIZEN": pass it on but don't sign pls.

done also you can sign if you live in the uk too

Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.

I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.

also like it is perfectly fine to be curious about what it's like to do things the old-fashioned way

there's even a term for it- "experimental archaeology"

you don't have to make it a weird trad Virtue thing

the AI bros are always trying to install in us this fear of falling behind and being abandoned by society if we won't start using AI, and let me just say - men have been telling me I'll "end up alone with seven cats if I don't give them a chance" for AGES. I can smell the barely hidden desperation underneath that axe body spray like a shark, and boy am I about to make you cry from frustration

hey it’s ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like “reblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!” but it’s ok if you have used gen ai before and it’s even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. you’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok

It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the "boo AI" club.

This isn't a purity thing. This is a "everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people" thing.

Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can't defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.

You can stop using character.ai today. You can say "I listened to the facts and stopped." And another thing: don't you think it's a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you're in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?

yeahwrite

also posts in the spirit of "if you've used AI even ONCE your soul is tainted!!!!" can't be great to those with OCD
