This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

Calling it, this is the fucking Information Age Collapse. Bronze Age Collapse 2.0. We have three or so generations of this shit while everything slowly breaks and then in 1k years archaeologists will be unearthing hard drives and cursing us for putting all our information in such shitty, easily degraded media instead of etching it into metal and stone like a sensible civilisation.

I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like
can't format a work email? templates
don't know how to write a resume? templates
writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates
not sure how to format your citations in MLA or whatever format? citationmachine.net
summary of something you're reading for school/work? cliffsnotes.com
recipe based on ingredients in your fridge? whatsintherefrigerator.com
there's a million more like, guys, we don't need AI, we never needed generative AI

how do I invite penny stardew valley to come be a live in nanny for me and leah. I don't like leaving melinda and mark unattended and penny is clearly great with kids and I sort of wanted to marry her just out of pity to get her away from her horrible mom but I don't love her like that. but I want her to come live with us. maybe we can adopt her too

baby, running madly around the house with a fistful of keys, having identified himself to me as "a bad guy spy": "I'm gonna unlock... one door... after another! And make people... UNHAPPEEE!"

in the rental beach house there was a big sign on one of the closets that said "owner closet - no access" and the baby pointed at the sign and said "what does that say" and I read it to him and he asked what it meant and I explained and then he asked again "what does it say?" and I read it aloud again
then the next morning as we were building a telephone switchboard out of magna tiles he suddenly said "hey auntie mac. I want to make a sign for my closet door at home"
and I was like "oh sure! saying what?" and he said with great relish "Owner Closet. No. Access."

trying to buy a house is sick. it’s for sickos.
you see a house that looks cool online and it’s JUST in your price range and you have to perform a fiscal colonoscopy to get a lady to write a letter that says you have enough money that the bank will probably let you borrow more money at 6.9% interest, which you have to show to another lady so you’re allowed to look at any houses at all, and then you go to the house with lady 2 and there’s a literal stream of groundwater rushing through the basement IN THE TRENCH THE PRIOR OWNERS DUG TO DEAL WITH THEIR PESKY BASEMENT WATER PROBLEMS and all the floors are on 15 degree incline slopes and the stairs are all moments from collapse then lady 2 seriously stares at you expectantly like “is this great or what”
and then you look at like 15 more houses online and you’re like hey lady 2, can we look at these houses and she’s like “oh sorry, those have been on the market for 23 entire minutes, those are sold now actually”
and then you find another house that you actually want and you know other people want it bad enough that you offer 10k over what the seller’s asking for and somehow that is not enough
and then you find another house that hasn’t sold and you like it a lot but it needs work and the asking price is too high so you’re like hey how about like 5k less than asking so i can like use that money to cool this house during the summer somehow and they say no so then you’re like okay cool how about the exact amount you are literally asking for and they’re like HMMMMMMMM LET ME MULL THIS OVER LET ME FIGURE OUT IF THE PRICE THAT I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR TO BUY THIS HOUSE IS A FAIR PRICE
This is a pervert’s game. I’m not cut out for this.

You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this
