Pro tip is you can literally just read more books and get curious about books instead of generalizing about Publishing Today. There are thousands upon thousands of books out there being published by all kinds of presses from the big 5 to tiny indie presses. Go to your local library or independent bookstore or Bookshop.org and browse. Writing off the entirety of contemporary publishing for being too whatever is just as much anti-intellectualism as complaining that books are too hard for the average reader.
#this is where I learn that people are saying books are too hard for the average reader#I stg people will try one thousand fanfics but give up after one book

One of the scariest things is when the mental health of someone you know just drops off a cliff and tragedy happens before anyone has really had time to figure out something is wrong, let alone try to convince them to get help

This guy literally forgot G1 added a new character (or 3) almost every episode, did nothing with most of them, and then killed them all off during the movie and replaced them in season 3 so they could do it all again
I love seeing people say stuff like this because it's so hilarious. ah, yes, the beloved characters Thundercracker and Skywarp. both of whom barely appear in G1. I think there's only a single episode where Skywarp even has any lines
#so says indy#in the first episode of s3 they literally rename and redesign Bumblebee and you never see him again lol#some characters in G1 barely even talked they just introduced them and they disappeared after that episode

As June draws to a close I thought I’d bring Eddie out for a statement on the record.
Trans rights are human rights, we’re all in this together, all year long no matter how you identify. 🏳️⚧️
Happy Pride, all! 💚💖

The thing about small business is that when you go into one, they always look at you like now you HAVE to buy something, or like you’re a space alien because you aren’t a regular

"Why is it a problem if students use AI to get through college"
Because if you demonstrate to me that you're willing to set aside concern for truth, evidence, and verifying things with your own eyes whenever it happens to be inconvenient for you, I have a solemn responsibility to make sure you don't get into medical school.
#see also: people getting upset school teaches more than absolutely necessary#yeah those courses you think are bullshit? they're to make you a more well-rounded person#they're also so you can't say 'school didn't teach me shit!' after you graduate#it did you just cheated your way through the classes

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.
#this but that person yesterday on the fanfic sub who thought using c.ai was fine as long as you filled in the gaps#be real you were going to feed it into ChatGPT and let IT fill them in lol

It’s like men realised that to be #notallmen they had to actually act like it all the time instead of just when they got a pat on the back for it, and instead of doing so they said ‘nah, not worth it’ and became worse than before
