so many of the "i only use chat gpt for ___" excuses are concerning because people use it in place of learning basic, valuable skills.

you don't need chat gpt to write professional sounding emails for you, there are many many guides on the internet and with a bit of practise you can learn to write them yourself. a very important skill for a professional to have, and some of the basic rules will carry over into irl conversations!

you don't need chat gpt to be a "more detailed search engine", because you're robbing yourself of the chance to learn how to find and filter information on the internet and evaluate the credibility of sources. which is a VITAL skill. plus, chat gpt is notorious for being wrong?

if you use it to write essays, you're taking away your ability to hone your research skills, your writing skills, your critical thinking skills. your ability to create persuasive arguments!

and for most of the other reasons people use chat gpt, there are non-ai websites for that! for maths, wolfram alpha. for figuring out what you can cook with the ingredients you have there's supercook and the like. for creating routines, there's about a million apps!

whatever you "only" use chatgpt for i promise there are better websites out there that you don't have to worry will produce complete bullshit???? and destroy the environment???

the man who owns and runs the thai restaurant in my town knows me by name. he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful men i know. i started ordering from his place back in january, which was when i got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. back then i was using a walker, had limited mobility in my entire body but especially my hands, and was very visibly in pain. i always ordered the same thing: yellow curry with no meat, potatoes and carrots only (i have texture and other dietary issues). he always made it a point to make sure i could get out the door and carry the food safely. he had his workers package the food so that it was easier for me to open. as i kept coming back and i told him a little bit about my health status, he would always encourage me to keep going. he told me about how the spices he used were good for inflammation and began to edit the recipe just for me so that spices that were even better for fighting inflammation were used. he’d give me extra portions and despite the fact that i would tip every time, i realized later that he never charged my card for them. as time went on and my condition began to get better, especially with the help of a physical therapist, he would make encouraging remarks and tell me how happy he was for me. the day i came in without my walker, he practically jumped for joy, and despite my insistence, he gave me my meal for free that day. i continue to make progress with my conditions and i continue to go to the thai place. this man who does not know me personally and who i hardly know anything about is one of my favorite people. it’s interactions with humans like these that make loving life easier. and his curry really does help my chronic condition. it’s comfort food taken to the next level.

I think that it's really important for people to realize that being disabled is traumatic. genuinely. your body and brain feel like they are breaking down and wrong. you are in constant heavy stress from stuff like chronic pain. most disabled people i know have a somewhat regular emotional break down from the trauma of it all. and we are expected to just smile through it by society, to not be in the way, to not be an issue.

every time i go to a new doctor, by referrals or whatever, they either tell me they have no idea what they could do, say it’s my fault because i’ve gained weight, or try to diagnose me with something else but always ending up back at the original.

Went to a new rheumatologist because I have been concerned that a bunch of extra symptoms I have are related to the rheumatoid arthritis I got diagnosed with 2 years ago and my previous rheumatologist has been really dismissive, and this new doctor just straight-up doesn’t think I have rheumatoid arthritis and I just

(Note: she isn’t denying that I’m in pain. She thinks it’s a combination of hypermobility causing joint instability and maybe fibromyalgia? But I am so darn confused at this point.)

Came across this on the cover of an old magazine at work today. It was published in Epic magazine in the early 1980s. It’s called ‘Self Portrait, with Wings’ by Barry Windsor-Smith.

"everyone should care about accessibility because most people will become disabled at some point in their life" is a logical argument and I understand its popularity

however, everyone should care about accessibility because disabled people are fellow human beings living in the same society as you who deserve the same rights as you

thank you good night

Adventure Time: Links Between Real Elements, Tarot, and Personality Types

In summary, these are the relationships between each element, the real life elements they respond to, and other associations:

Firstly, the parallels between the four elements in the show and the four elements in real life.

In the present day of the show, the candy elemental is Princess Bubblegum, a powerful and dominating but genius leader of the candy kingdom. The element air (in certain contexts) represents intellect, the mind, and the potential for great strength and power.

Fire is a simpler one, as the associations of the element in Adventure Time and the associations of the directly comparable real life element of fire are quite identical. Flame Princess, the present day fire elemental embodies concepts of passion, ambition, and energy. These themes are directly consistent with what fire represents outside the show.

Ice is a complicated element in Adventure Time. It's a very solid and strong material, shown constantly being used to create shields and protective domes over the magic users that create ice. Ice King creates his fortress out of ice for protection. This protective and stable representation of ice in the show links it to the real element of earth, which represents stability, resilience, and a foundation for growth and rebirth (especially relevant for the IK). The ice elemental around during the show is Patience St. Pim, who hardly appears compared to Ice King but still carries the same themes. She comes into the show out of a crystalised ice dome, and then returns at the end of her appearance. This is a cycle of rebirth, as well as evidence of stability and physical strength (of the ice dome). All linking back to what the element of earth represents.

Finally, slime in Adventure Time is shown in a relaxed and emotionally sensitive context. Slime Princess, the current slime elemental, is well known to be very affectionate towards the other characters and has a sensitive personality. The real element of water is associated heavily with emotion and other reflective concepts. The passive and liquid nature of the slime element itself shows other parallels to the element of water.

Next, the tarot parallels, which links nicely with the four elements discussed above.

Candy is the element of air, which is linked with the tarot suit of swords. Swords represent power and intelligence, and how the two must maintain a balance, with the possibility of being used for good or evil. Princess Bubblegum struggles with this balance herself as a leader of a kingdom and a science genius. Those two areas dominate her personality and the candy kingdom is founded on those two concepts.

Fire is consistently the same element, and is linked with the suit of wands. Wands represent energy, creativity, ambition, and determination. This fits in with Flame Princess and how the flame kingdom functions.

Ice is the element of earth, which in tarot is linked with the suit of pentacles. The suit of pentacles concerns physical matters, such as health and finance, as well as self-image and ego. It relates to how a person can create, alter, and transform their situation. This has strong parallels to Ice King, as he is struggling with his self-image after slowly losing his memories, and his efforts are evident in the way he shapes his surroundings trying to cope with his reality.

Slime is the element of water, linked to the tarot suit of cups. Cups represent the emotional side of life, love, and connections. Slime Princess, as mentioned before, is a very affectionate character and expresses love towards other characters quite often.

Finally, the personality parallels.

In one of Uncivilized Elk's youtube videos he discusses the links between the four AT elements and the four temperaments or personality types according to Hippocrates in ancient Greek texts. These four types were related to bodily fluids and how those affected temperaments. These temperaments and their associated personalities are as follows:

Sanguine (sociable, optimistic)

Choleric (excitable, impulsive)

Melancholic (thoughtful, moody)

Phlegmatic (peaceful, passive)

In reality, each person could be a combination of these or purely one type (being equally all four would be considered well balanced and healthy). Adventure Time takes these the extremes of those four temperaments and translates them into the four elements.

Candy, and the friendliness and outgoing nature of Princess Bubblegum, matches sanguine. It is considered an extroverted and stable temperament, consistent with how the candy element affects the citizens who get transformed into candy. Additionally, the four temperaments are each associated with an element, and sanguine is associated with air.

Fire is easily consistent with choleric, which is associated with impulsivity, energy, and aggression. This is clearly seen when the citizens and Flame Princess are transformed into the fire versions of themselves and are driven by the irresistible urge to fight. Choleric is an extroverted and unstable temperament, also associated with the fire element in real life.

Ice is depressing and slowed, consistent with the temperament melancholic. It is contemplative, passive, and accepting. When the citizens are transformed into ice (including Patience St. Pim in her new form), they find little resistance to a depressing acceptance of their fate. This temperament is introverted and unstable, and is associated with the element of earth.

Slime is the relaxed and content element, matching the phlegmatic temperament. Again, the transformed slime citizens are motivated by this, seeking a peaceful existence by being assimilated into Slime Princess, who embodies this passive state. Phlegmatic is an introverted and stable temperament, and is also associated with the element of water.

the question of who prismos boss is has fucked with me for a while but i have 4 theories.

1. is it’s someone we don’t know of

2. it’s golbetty

3. it’s pendleton ward creator of adventure time but my fourth theory is what i’m making this post about.

things that make me very emotional as a young adult that i never thought would mean this much to me:

• a good sparkling water, nice and cold

• organizational bins for various items (including cans of sparkling water)

• cleaning supplies that smell like my favorite smells (i’ve learned how to make some myself)

• bathtime (again a place of good smells, i get very moisturized, it’s a ritual to me)

is this what growing up is meant to be?

I need to run a survey really quick. This isn't serious, but I need people to cooperate and not cheat for the sake of it because it'll skew the results.

Imagine you wake up tomorrow and you realize you (and everyone else in the world) can turn into an animal (And back into a human) at will.

Please go to this link to see what animal it will be for you:

(this is random, and yes, you only get one, no redos)

With this in mind, please reply to the following questions as truthfully as possible based on your current situation. (Not an ideal fantasy one.)

if anyone ever tries to tell you SH*T about your body, “not being good enough”, i encourage you to think of my cat juno. she is plump, wrinkly, proud, stinky, beautiful, bossy, and loved. no one can tell me that she is not a perfect cat. she is a brat and only does what she wants, and i aspire to be like her! she reminds me every day that my belly rolls are adorable, because if i can look at her and only see love, there is no reason i cannot do the same thing for myself.

[patronsaintofpanic]

instead of getting mad at someone saying you wanna to “fight” them. i like to say i have killed your god and taken their place . haven’t said it to someone but it’s a better thought than real violence

this sucks so bad i need to [remembers suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] put on the best talent show this towns ever seen
