I think movies that take place in New England need to be less scared of New England accents. Not just the Boston accent, but other regional dialects. I wanna hear people say Woosta or Woostuh not Wooster. Imagine little women with a thick accent not some Hollywood pronouncing all your letters accent. It would be wonderful.
if you’re like even a little bit sincere in your belief in restorative justice you’ll keep seeing it forever. “X did Y to Z” isn’t important because Z was harmed, what’s important is that X is a bad person for doing Y. we can keep bringing up that X did Y forever YEARS after the fact, no matter how the situation has been handled privately between X and Z, because what happened to Z isn’t important. What’s important is that X doing Y makes X a terrible person forever. You see this a lot in the lily orchard harassment campaign.
I remember a little while back playing a visual novel on stream and someone informed me later that the creator groomed someone. Horrible, obviously, but looking into it the creator already privately made amends with the person they harmed, acknowledged what they did was horrible, plus the situation was several years old. Realistically? none of my fucking business. A resolved situation that does not need to keep being relitigated again by me, who is completely uninvolved. Why was i told about it anyways? because X did Y, and that makes them a terrible person. Why would you associate with a terrible person? why aren’t you condemning them?
Because simply put condemning a person forever isn’t justice, a person is allowed to fuck up and move on, and continuously regurgitating receipts and being condemned by random strangers on the internet does nothing for the victim.
i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on “outward” signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don’t know how to explain it but “do you make eye contact with other people” feels like a much less relevant question than “how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?”
while i’m here, the other one that always pisses me off is “do you interpret idioms literally, for example ‘bull in a china shop’?”
well, no, obviously. i know what “bull in a china shop” means because that is a popular phrase with a clearly defined meaning. and if i hadn’t heard it before, then i would still not interpret it literally, because it has the cadence of an idiom and i would probably be able to work out from context what it meant. what is the point of this question
third and final complaint: “are you good at noticing subtext?”
i feel like the problem with this question is best illustrated by a conversation i had with a friend a while back, where i said something like, “i feel very safe with you because you don’t do subtle hints and you are always very straight-up with me about what you are thinking and feeling.”
and he laid a hand on my shoulder and was like, look dude i’m gonna be straight up here. i am subtle with you constantly and you simply do not notice <3
@luckyybones hope you don’t mind me screenshotting but you are actually so correct
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?
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
Another problem with those posts is that some people cannot avoid AI usage. I have been required to use some AI at my job (mainly in product assessment). Some students are required to use it in the classroom. If you are learning to code, it is and probably will continue to be a major factor.
AI pushback is important, but the real enemy is the companies trying to shove it into every aspect of your life
