I hate when gen ai defenders argue with the points that 'x thing we do is also causing environmental damage' like that's some sort of gotcha moment, but the only thing it's doing is proving how stupid they are because yeah, those are all problems that exist & we have little control over (usually) but you do have control over not contributing to the massive drinkable water waste by not using generative ai

Thinking about the Holmes story where a blind girl goes to him and is like "My fiancé is missing and he kept telling me the week leading up to his disappearance that he would always love me and come back for me,were anything to happen so I think he knew he was in trouble and I love him so much and I'm going to wait for him but I'd like to find him faster,ya know?" And Holmes figures out that it was this girl's parents to scam her out of money she was owed from an estate which she gave to them because she was still living at home,which she wouldn't be if she ever married,so her step father PRETENDED TO DATE HER for MONTHS to keep her from ever getting engaged to a real person and when Holmes finds out he confronts this man and this man is like "Well,you caught me! But it wasn't illegal:) so:)" and Holmes is like "No,but it was sickening and cruel and if she had a brother or good male friend he should post you up and whip you but she doesn't." And the man is like "No,she doesn't." And does the Victorian version of sticking his tongue out and Holmes is like "Well,I guess I'll do then!" And HE PULLS OUT HIS HUNTING WHIP.

joining tumblr for the first time now is like in movies when the city kid goes to the small small small town and someone there is like “we ain’t got nona that weefee or whatever but we’s got Jimbo who yells the news and that’s good enough” and points to Jimbo who is currently asleep on his rocker

Except for us it’s like “we ain’t got no al-go-rithm but we do have haiku-bot and that one destiel screengrab that tells us the news and that’s good enough”

ik "dont assume my gender" is a joke phrase (it shouldnt be) but goddamn some people have got to remember that there are people who look like cis men out there who are not in fact cis men or men at all

ive been tryin to slowly train myself out of my various bug phobias via exposure and i earnestly reccomend tryin it. like yeah okay i'm still screaming and crying and shitting when im coaxing a spider into a cup but the fact i can do that much without hurting them is a 100% improvement for everyone involved. its not their fault they ended up in my bathtub y'know. they're just a little guy.

"um, no, I don't think we live in some sort of fanservice AU where each house has a device you must strip down to use" I say as I confidently step into the shower fully clothed.

If you mark up library books I'm scratching all your non sick pots

Everyone who writes in, highlights, or underlines text in a library book personally owed me fifty dollars and a large sales caramel hot chocolates

Ever heard of the plains viscacha (Lagostomus maximus)? Growing up to 33.9 in (86 cm) from head to tail, it inhabits grasslands and scrub in parts of South America such as Paraguay and Argentina. This highly social rodent lives in groups of up to 50 individuals, digging communal burrows known as vizcacheras. These underground homes can stretch up to 6,458.4 sq ft (600 sq m) and provide a safe haven for the viscachas to hide from predators and raise their young.

Whenever I search a place in Canada on the map on Openguessr I wonder what's up with those lakes. How are there so many. Straight up lake country. I mean I do think I remember reading somewhere that Canada has more lakes than any other country in the world? That checks out.

Now where's that damn highway I got dropped on. I will find you. Among those lakes.

people are clowning on this guy on reddit but uhhh let's pause for a minute and ask...so what happens if someone has a skin condition? what if part of their face has been burned? what if they're missing their eyes? and so what if they just have a fuckton of tattoos? recognition algorithms are aligned with the most ""average"" / ""normal"" features which means any deviation gets denied access to shit we didnt need age verification for 1 year ago. i dont care if it's a choice versus not, dont care if it's accessing porn or wikipedia, this needs to stop

Trust me. It's worse when he's a political figure from your country

thoughts on Katy Perry/Justin Trudeau?

It genuinely doesn't even compute. It gives me a feeling of unreality. Lots of things nowadays make me feel like "we can't be living in the real world, this can't be happening" but this is by far the most lowest stakes thing that makes me feel that way
