Unpopular opinion but if you don't enjoy the process you should find a different thing to do.

And I think this is true in general but now I'm talking about it in the context of AI.

If you don't enjoy making art and only care about the end piece and how it'll look and how much traction it"lol get online then making art is not something for you, find something you enjoy from start to finish.

Same goes for writing: if you do not enjoy writing and rewriting and then some more and instead want AI to write for you, being a writer is not something you should pursue.

Sure, not every part of creative process is going to be equally enjoyable but you should get satisfaction from solving the problems along the way and you should get a sense of accomplishment on your way of "making the piece yours" and you should have a sense of ownership once you are done.

None of these things will come from typing in a prompt into chatGPT. And I am sad to see so many people are missing on the opportunity to experience the joy of making something with their own hands and brains.

Master Post of Veilguard Faction Cocktails!

The Lords of Fortune: A bold, golden cocktail with tropical flavors and the spice of cinnamon. For gold and glory.

The Mourn Watch: A deathly (and deadly boozy) cocktail with the floral whisper of Shroud’s Kiss blossoms and ritual funeral herbs.

The Antivan Crows: A blend of Italian ingredients for a darkly bittersweet, deeply complex cocktail that would be right at home at the Cantori Diamond.

The Grey Wardens: A boozy take on The Joining. Peppery and bittersweet, with a whisper of tartness hiding underneath.

The Veil Jumpers: An ethereal concoction with wisps of smoke reminiscent of wild magic, and the faint floral echo of lavender.

The Shadow Dragons: Complex, with a uniquely elusive, mysterious flavor you can’t quite pin down and a deep red hue.

This was funnier in my head.

One for sorrow Two for joy Three for a girl Four for a boy Five for silver Six for gold Seven for a secret never to be told

Eight for a wish Nine for a kiss Ten for a chance you must not miss Eleven for a wasp Twelve for a bee Thirteen for a coffee Fourteen for tea

Fifteen for a pencil Sixteen for a pen Seventeen to hear these options once again

Eighteen for pepper Nineteen for salt Twenty for an accident in which you were not at fault

Twenty one for Jerry Twenty two for Tom Twenty three - where are all these magpies coming from?

Twenty five no seriously Thirty this is weird Forty eight from where have all these magpies suddenly appeared?

Sixty two stop counting Seventy just run Ninety nine the revolution of the magpies has begun

Two hundred no more sorrow Five hundred no more fears One thousand for how long the empire of the magpies will last in years

Me and my mutuals rebloging the same post

I actually bothered to look at the email Tumblr sent me today suggesting five new blogs to follow but it just reads like an average Tumblr thread.

I have thoughts about the whole feminist anti-interrupting thing. Like I agree, men do talk over people and it is disrespectful, but I also think there are cultures, specifically Jews, where talking over each other is actually a sign of being engaged in the conversation. It’s something I really struggle with in the south, because up in New York, even non-Jews participated in this cooperative conversation style, but down here, whenever I do it by accident, the whole convo stops and it gets called out and it’s a whole thing. Idk idk I feel like there’s different types of interruptive like there’s constructive interrupting where you add on to whatever is being said - helpful interrupting, and then there’s like interrupting where you just start saying something unrelated because you were done listening. I have ADHD so I’ve def done the latter too by accident, but I’m talking about being more accepting of the former.
