[evorathesylvurr]

being a limbus fan is so funny because the ship tags are mixed in with the classic literature (tm)

like on the one hand I can say shit like “haha funny cockroach man” or “haha yeah how’s that axe murder investigation going? Wait you don’t know it’s an axe? Rumors~” but on the other hand earnestly seeing one of fifteen classic literatures does 90 sp damage causing me to corrode instantly

This applies to gif packs of Sadie Sink, Jenna Ortega, and Olivia Rodrigo too btw. Stop trusting content creators are not giffing minors, it doesn't matter how many notes a pack has - do your own research and cover your own ass.

So I wasn't gonna say anything like... publicly / on the dash because like.. god I already am not doing well mentally do not need rpc drama lol but just a small reminder to like double check fc ages yourself when interacting with gifpacks when it's shows like Skins, Degrassi, etc etc (like anything that were known for legit casting minors lol) because creators don't always do the thing

Omg wait which Pythian ode it says Apollo raised Chiron? Because I've been searching for the source and couldn't find it so far.

Both Theoi and Wikipedia state that Apollo was Chiron's mentor and/or that he raised him along with Artemis, and give the exact same sources:

I didn't manage to find that specific passage from Pythian Odes either because the Internet is a bitch sometimes, and the closest thing that I managed to find is this little fragment from Xenophon's Cynegeticus:

"Game and hounds are the invention of gods, of Apollo and Artemis. They bestowed it on Cheiron and honoured him therewith for his righteousness. And he, receiving it, rejoiced in the gift, and used it."

And... yeah. That's basically what I can say for now. I tried to search for Philostratus' Heroicus too, yet I couldn't find any pdf format nor excerpt from it either. 😑

since i have shown ppl the beauty of obsidian, here's some stuff on how i organize my vault

I usually use tags for everything and very minimal folders.

I put all images that I use in the 00Assets folder in a sub folder called Images so it doesn't clutter up other places. I have a folder templates in Assets and I also put the canvas files I use in there.

Personal is for stuff like journals or life stuff. I save a lot of recipes in there and I use the daily note function to keep track of sleep/food stuff bc that was requested of me by my doctor.

i have a page called Writing where i use dataview to list all the writing I've made. I tag all writing with #writing.

But I also have custom properties to list the characters in it. So I put a dataview list in their respective pages to list all the times they were included in a writing. I also link the setting to it in case I want to filter by fandom. Not all fandoms get their own page since I don't think I will write for jjk any time soon so.

I have notes for canon characters because thats where I put inspiration (like images, songs, etc) and for some characters like Mr Bitch Dragon Man, where I put down all the notes from reading the books. Normal Behavior (i want to run SR so bad T__T )

you can sub tag things. So the tag oc/shadowrun means Saturn trick will show up if I search by the #tag, but non SR characters won'ts how up if I search #oc/shadowrun. Very useful!

I also use obsidian for journaling and keeping track of important data (SInce everything is local and I don't use a cloud sync, it's pretty secure) and I use it to be really autistic about video games like fire emblem or the sims. I love data B)

Some other addons I use:

Homepage to make a 'welcome back here's what you're working on'. I organize commissions and projects I need to do with the Tasks addon so they get listed there.

I use the ITS theme. I have some custom CSS for it that I want to tweak. I like the wikipedia style infoboxes

Dice Roller for tabletop stuff or just to random generate stuff

Calendar for my daily notes & journaling

Who's surprised, because I am not?

When ChatGPT set the world on fire a year and a half ago, it sparked a feverish search for ways to catch people trying to pass off AI text as their own writing. A host of startups launched to fill the void through AI detection tools, with names including Copyleaks, GPTZero, Originality.AI, and Winston AI. It makes for a tidy business in a landscape full of AI boogeymen. These companies advertise peace of mind, a way to take back control through “proof” and “accountability.” Some advertise accuracy rates as high as 99.98%. But a growing body of experts, studies, and industry insiders argue these tools are far less reliable than their makers promise. There’s no question that AI detectors make frequent mistakes, and innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire. Countless students have been accused of AI plagiarism, but a quieter epidemic is happening in the professional world. Some writing gigs are drying up thanks to chatbots. As people fight over the dwindling field of work, writers are losing jobs over false accusations from AI detectors.

Of course. Just like I showed you a few weeks ago, an AI-generated image that is even marketed as such by the seller, was claimed to be "99.9% accurately" not AI-generated. A photo of the Mona Lisa uploaded to Wikipedia Commons thirteen years ago was claimed to be "99.9% accurately" AI-generated. We're having snake oil salesmen preying on moronic Butlerian Jihadi types with claims like this, with innocent people losing their jobs and chances for education.

In general, AI detectors work by spotting the hallmarks of AI penmanship, such as perfect grammar and punctuation. In fact, one of the easiest ways to get your work flagged is to use Grammarly, a tool that checks for spelling and grammatical errors. It even suggests ways to rewrite sentences for clarity using, you guessed it, artificial intelligence. Adding insult to injury, Gizmodo spoke to writers who said they were fired by platforms that required them to use Grammarly.

What. The. FUCK. If anything, computers are fairly good at scanning things and comparing them with rigid references, like style books and grammar manuals, often against the human writer's wishes (for example because a certain unorthodox turn of phrase is intended to shock the reader, or there's a play on words that cannot be expressed differently), but "perfect grammar and punctuation" is certainly not what I would expect from AI algorithms - for example, in the first minute or two of the Robert Makłowicz Gravel Bullshit I could hear ChatGPT stumbling over genders and grammatical cases, much like I sometimes do myself, particularly when typing quickly or in a runaway sentence.

Detectors look for more telling factors as well, such as “burstiness.” Human writers are more likely to reuse certain words in clusters or bursts, while AI is more likely to distribute words evenly across a document. AI detectors can also assess “perplexity,” which essentially asks an AI to measure the likelihood that it would have produced a piece of text given the model’s training data.

"Burstiness"? "Perplexity"? What kind of Stephen Colbert horseshit is this? I mean, seriously, those words sound like someone made them up for The Stephen Colbert Show "The Wørd" segment, in a "fuck me if I know what my software is doing" way. Like, you put the text in, pull the lever, the machine spits out the verdict and you're supposed to kowtow to its Grand, All-Encompassing Wisdom now. How it does what it does? You're not supposed to know and I'm not explaining it to you either, mostly because I have no idea myself. Magic everywhere in this bitch, man.

AI detection companies “are in the business of selling snake oil,” said Debora Weber-Wulff, a professor at the University of Applied Sciences for Engineering and Economics in Berlin, who co-authored a recent paper about the effectiveness of AI detection. According to Weber-Wulff, research shows that AI detectors are inaccurate, unreliable, and easy to fool. “People want to believe that there can be some magic software that solves their problems,” she said. But “computer software cannot solve social problems. We have to find other solutions.”

Of fucking course, why am I not surprised. Generative AI is snake oil as it fails to replace actual artists to any considerable degree (unless we're talking generic editorial cartoons you could left-hand in 15 minutes - DALL-E will left-hand something more specific in 30 seconds, particularly for the purposes of a dodgy third-rate website), and detecting AI is just as shit, much like I pointed out before. It's laughable, actually: we have companies run submitted writing through dodgy detectors in order to weasel out of paying, when in other circumstances they'd promptly have ChatGPT on the job of writing insipid clickbait listicles in order to weasel out of paying. It's like "I can fuck you over anytime, but god forbid you try to fuck me over".

“We hear these stories more than we wish we did, and we understand the pain that false positives cause writers when the work they poured their heart and soul into gets falsely accused,” said Jonathan Gillham, CEO of Originality.AI. “We feel like we feel like we’re building a tool to help writers, but we know that at times it does have some consequences.”

No, buddy, fuck you. Fuck you a thousand times with a fucking cactus. You're selling snake oil, you know it's not working and here you are playing dumb that your software just works, and when it inevitably fails, again and again, you're pretending it's not your fault, you coprolithically retarded cunt.

But Originality and other AI detectors send mixed messages about how their tools should be used. For example, Gillham said “we advise against the tool being used within academia, and strongly recommend against being used for disciplinary action.” He explained the risk of false positives is too high for students, because they submit a small number of essays throughout a school year, but the volume of work produced by a professional writer means the algorithm has more chances to get it right. However, on one of the company’s blog posts, Originality says AI detection is “essential” in the classroom.

CUNT.

Then there’s the way the company describes its algorithm. According to Originality, the latest version of its tool has a 98.8% accuracy rate, but Originality also says its false positive rate is 2.8%. If you’ve got your calculator handy, you’ll notice that adds up to more than 100%. Gillham said that’s because these numbers come from two different tests.

ABSOLUTE MOTHERFUCKING LYING CUNT.

Now don't be surprised that they're going to lie in multiple ways and make shit up only to make a buck on selling the tech to the gullible and, more importantly, the maliciously prejudiced. In the end, the whole thing is about money, and money curiously causes people to stop thinking about everything else.

Hi I found this silly little bug in an image and I’m having a really hard time identifying him!!

Basic: Moth

Species: Sagariphora magnificalis. I was going to do my normal ID process but I thought the image might be from a wikipedia/wikimedia source because of the format and reverse image searched, and I was right! Here is bitch’s wikipedia page

[crazy56u]

Whelp, I just woke up, and (without naming names) I just saw a reaction that I am 100% taking with a grain of salt.

Let’s take a look.

Okay, if they’re bringing up the chip subplot now after it supposedly got resolved, that’s not a good sign.

Also, Ben got fucked out of saving Hannah’s husband. And having seen the synopses for the last two episodes of the season [sidenote, NBC, ya gonna fucking announce a renewal or… …?], long story short, oof.

And we’re at a funeral reading in 1953, and Ben may or may not be the maid.

Okay, no offense, that vase looks like shit.

“Is this a joke?” I know, right?!

Oh, so Daddy was too busy being Indiana Jones to remember how money worked.

“To my fearless Dina-” “It’s Dean.” …misspelling, or deadnaming? Is this a trans plot?

A ship in a bottle, I don’t know if they make those anymore.

And it goes smash. …revealing a map; okay, Ben won this will reading.

Addison, why the fuck do you continue to have the shittiest timing

“Hey, I know we’re supposed to be working, and Ben just leapt in, but you wanna ditch this episode?”

Okay, legitimately, I couldn’t tell if Ian was wearing glasses or not.

“I planned a wedding once. That led to me burying a not-dead man’s belongings in the park; the cops are still nagging me to dig that shit up.”

Yeah, remember, you have jobs?

“Are you sure I’m not rushing you?” You want to get married a day or so after proposing. What do you think?

Like, not to make a controversial statement, but Ross Gellar at least had the foresight to wait a few months.

“Do not wait to live your life. Otherwise, time travel will fuck you over.”

And the horrible vase is dead.

San Patricio… Quick Google search gave me this little number, so my interest is peaked…

…okay, I don’t think Wikipedia mentioned cursed jewels, so fuck me, I guess.

Okay, wait, I just realized: is Sarah played by Veronica from Riverdale?

How much longer until they realize the Accelerator isn’t doing shit, and it’s Ben?

I agree: Family bullshit is less enticing than being Indiana Jones. But unfortunately, it’s this show, so you should already know the punchline.

“[Dean] is the key to all this.” Like how Horace was the key to Halloween Havoc.

I love the Kramer entrance Ben just pulled.

Teamwork makes the dream work, and maybe Veronica can stop bitching.

I love how Will Man is intentionally withholding the lore unless it’s for dramatic moments.

Okay, quick math time; 40 mill in 1953 would be about… almost half a fucking billion in 2024, so…

This looks less like Mexico and more like The Darjeeling Limited.

Who sings opera while biking?

Yes, that’s right, make Addison bring up the wedding now of all places…

“Hey, I know you’re talking to ghosts, but check out the map!”

Well, given how the priest killed for those jewels, blood probably did get on them, so he wasn’t wrong…

That wasn’t “fashion advice”, that was “we’re going on a treasure hunt, don’t overload the fucking suitcase” advice, Veronica.

“Okay, maybe let’s stop deadnaming and let’s get crunk.”

[Okay, how have I not noticed the producer is named “Meg Fister” until now?]

Yes, Jenn, Ian does want to do their job, that’s not a shock.

“Look, if we’re still pretending 2023- now 2024- is supposed to be 2026, then Addison and Tom can get married. That’s the law.”

[I will fucking laugh if my long standing theory pays out, and Ben undoes the time skip.]

“Hey, Rachel, I just said a sitcom line-” “Ian, we are fucked, they remembered the chip subplot.” “I thought we finished that!”

…is Tom a puppet?

And, in a rather appropriate cutaway, we go to the bar.

A bar is not a place to yell, pleas calm down.

“Nadia, where did you learn Spanish?” “From a person who speaks Spanish.”

I don’t like how the bartender is immediately in the know.

And that satchel is going to get taken in 5… 4… 3…

Ben, with that type of scratch, you can change all their fucking lives.

“And what are we doing?” Not looking after a satchel?

Why does their dad look like Santa?

And it’s now a race.

Ben, he was clearly lying about not believing the treasure was real.

Sarah, you don’t just get to decide to abandon the episode after fucking everything up.

“I have a very good memory, and I’m friends with a ghost.”

Sarah, if you hadn’t left the satchel, this wouldn’t be as bad, stop denying fault.

Meanwhile, back in Subplot 2.

Look, Ian, if it makes you feel any better, given how next week involves a leap into the 1980s, dealer’s odds Ben accidentally erases Gideon from the show.

Meanwhile, back to the treasure; this is a packed week for everyone, isn’t it…

Well, this is Indiana Jones coded, so one of you had to do the snake line…

“Well, I am not climbing down that.” Okay, die then.

Okay, you won’t drown, but if you slip, you will break something. Small miracles.

So the jewels are a metaphor- okay, if the plot twist is that the dad hid the jewels back home, due to “home being the real treasure,” I will piss blood.

“Some say it was Saint Patrick. Some say it was Santa.”

Okay, I thought that was gonna be a zombie.

Either bartender wanted to cover his tracks, or bartender is under those rocks.

“Is there another option?” Get to fucking digging.

Sarah, legitimately, stop being a bitch.

God is getting angry now, that’s how much we’re approaching the Family Bullshit Event Horizon.

Okay, that’s peak comedic timing. “THE ROCK’S FAKE! :D”

Dad’s pun fetish, I swear to God.

Stephen King had once again gotten his grubby mitts into an episode of Quantum Leap.

They found the prop wall.

That was not fucking funny, that got me.

…well, I mean, to be fair, the key to all great comedy is misdirection… 🥁

And of course.

[I choose to split this up now.]

I read a quick synopsis on wikipedia and watched a 1 minute clip on youtube let's do this

Karen Wheeler watched as her daughter went from the sweet, obedient girl she had grown to love into the opinionated, take-no-shit woman that she had become proud of. It was why she felt ready to give her this, to reveal the secret history of their family.

"Nancy, there's something you need to know", Karen said, interrupting her daughter hard at schoolwork.

"What is it?"

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you. For a while now, but it's...it's a little hard to swallow."

Nancy's brow furrowed. "Is this about you and dad?"

Karen let out a breath of laughter. If only it were that simple. She sat down on her daughter's bed and explained. Explained that she had come from a long line of the fabled Grimm family. And that it was their duty to hunt and destroy the monsters of the world. Karen knew it was hard for her to believe. But she had her reasons for telling her now.

Nancy's powers would awaken soon, and Mike not too far behind her. She didn't want this sneaking up on her children the way it did for her. Karen was rusty, but she was able to help Nancy with the basics of weaponry, practicing in an abandoned field where no one would see.

Well, almost no one.

Jonathan had been searching for his missing brother Will when he came upon the two Wheeler women, one teaching the other how to wield a hatchet. It was suspicious to say the least and Jonathan confronted her at school about it.

"What were you and your mom doing out there?"

"Out where?"

"Out there, with the axes." Jonathan got closer, nearly crowding her into the locker. "If you know something about Will-"

"Hey, back off Byers", Steve got between them, pushing Jonathan away.

"Nancy, you know something", Jonathan pressed, not even looking at Steve.

To Nancy, it all suddenly clicked. Benny's death, Will's disappearance, it was all....she thought about how she hadn't heard from Barb all day.

From that moment on, she was a girl on a mission. If this was her family legacy, that is, if this were to be her destiny, then so be it. She ignored Steve for as long as she could, until he somehow managed to tag along with her and Jonathan. She couldn't tell her mom, not yet. She'd just be told to slow down or that she wasn't ready.

"You said you're new to all this, so how are we going to find whatever took Will?", Jonathan asked.

"I don't know but I know", Nancy said, understanding she wasn't being very helpful but didn't care right now. They were in the part of the woods where Will's bike had been found, not that far from Steve's house where Barb had last been seen.

"Have I mentioned how crazy this all is?", Steve asked.

"If you're going to be here, you need to accept that this is happening", Nancy said.

Steve closed his mouth because he wasn't leaving but if he talked he was definitely going to start bitching.

"Whatever that thing is, we can take it, right?", Jonathan asked.

Steve rolled his eyes. "What a great time to ask when we're already in the woods."

"It's three on one, we can take it", Nancy said. "We don't have a choice."

@anon yeah started watching ofmd over the way fandom introduced it, keep making the mistake of listening to racist shithead collectives, and a wikipedia search away and guess what you find out about the irl protagonists and beyond them being real life bitches indeed, they were enslavers like the show cant even recognize the violence these men were capable of and turns them into found family with people of color in it like bitch excuse me but the fact that people can ignore it so easily it's just pure antiBlackness, i don't think it affects, it barely affects any nonBlack poc but people just won't give a shit about Black fans, it's always about everyone else's fucking fun, and guess what before and during the show taika wait*ti proved to be more antiBlack in a number of ways but honestly it's not about direct quotes, his work has always had very iffy roles for Black characters, man is a little racist bitch and it's all written in his work

[tilbageidanmark]

Movies I watched and books I read this Week #127 (Year 3/Week 33):

The Fury of a Patient Man, a tense Spanish thriller about a man who waits 8 years to take revenge on the killers of his fiancé.

🍿

2 tender Japanese dramas by female director Naomi Kawase plus another by Yasujirō Ozu:

🍿 Tokyo Twilight, my 6th Ozu drama. A story about an older, single father, two grown up sisters, a mother who left and then came back, an unplanned pregnancy and a death of a daughter. Tragic, subtle and patient family soap opera, his last film that was beautifully shot in black and white.

🍿 I used to enjoy eating Dorayaki, the cookie-snack made of two small bean-filled pancakes, which we often bought at ‘Ranch 99’ stores. Kawase’s Sweet bean is a slow, emotional food porn story, about a solitary owner of such a small Dorayaki store. He hires a 76-year-old woman with a recipe for a better red bean filling, as well as a dark personal secret. Gentle and poetic.

🍿 I was curious about her earlier (1992) art film Embracing because of (personal) reasons. It’s a cinema-verite exploration of her own search for her father, who had left her and family when she was a small girl. Meditative poem about abandonment, loss and identity.

🍿

Eveready Harton in Buried Treasure is the first-ever hard-core, triple-X pornographic cartoon from 1928. It was made clandestinely by certain unknown illustrators from three studios, Disney, Max Fleischer and the Mutt and Jeff studio. It's as explicit as you can get, and involves masturbation, intercourse, bestiality, anal penetration, dildos, ejaculation, and so much more. It was made for a private stag party at the studio, and obviously was never exhibited publicly. Available in full on Wikipedia, and highly recommended. (Photo Above).

🍿

2 directed by Pixar’s Peter Sohn:

🍿 Partly Cloudy, his earlier short about a stork that is delegated to delivering the “less desirable” babies, these of porcupines, and crocodiles and electric fish. Really, Storks?…

🍿 The disappointing new computer-animated Elemental was the first Pixar product I couldn’t finish. A shallow 100% Disneyfied world building that started at a Disney cruise, and moved into a mythical Disneyland, without a heart or a soul. 1/10.

🍿

Because I'm a political masochist, I watched the 4-hour 2020 documentary The Reagans. I always held that this despicable puppet-master, was the most destructive modern American president, even more than Nixon. A good looking elitist, affable reactionary, a nicely-smelling, racist piece of shit, who changed America for the worst, and laid the foundations for all the horrors that were later Donild Trump. As Higgins told Condor: "You poor dumb son of a bitch. You've done more damage than you know."

I have to stop watching movies about monsters.

🍿

Paco León Spanish sex comedy 'Kiki, Love to love' that I saw last week, was kinky, delightful and original. So I was surprised to read that it was a remake of an Australian film. However, The little death had no juice at all, it was forced, prurient, unfunny and worst of all - unsexy. 2/10.

🍿

On the flight from Denmark to Israel I read the “erotic” thriller Skinny Dip. I used to like Carl Hiaasen years ago, but this story of a wife who survives being thrown from the deck of cruise ship, was mediocre pulp. The worst part was the Hebrew translation, which made it unreadable. 1/10.

🍿

open letter to ems (part ii) — @officialjimmybuffet

Hey bitch. Happy birthday

First time it’s just a letter, second it’s a pattern, how long until it counts as tradition?

Maybe it’s weird but I started to write this letter on December 13th, 2022. 179 days until your birthday but I felt the need to start writing this, felt the need to put my sentiments into words.

Yesterday I sent you 18 audios, several minutes each of course, explaining you in deep detail the plot of the first Avatar movie. I watched it alone after my mom went to sleep and to be frank Im kind of glad she did or else she’ll catch me crying over the scenery of a planet that doesn’t exist, from a movie that I’m pretty sure doesn’t pass the Belchdel test (update: it does not, everything is about Jake Sully and his terrible habits). It’s sitting in the bathroom floor all alone, waiting for people to stop screaming at each other that makes me realize how much I needed you in my life, how much I need, and will need someone who understands and compliments (as in complementary) me as well as you do. I like Avatar because I’m insane, but also because I see someone so lost and so insane in their own world they have to go literally to another planet to find a home, because somehow they do and I think, fuck maybe I could to. Looking back at it, the fact Jakes best friend is a short haired ginger scientist (healthcare science is a science right?) might make it even more close to home. (I hope in the end of this story, I don’t turn blue and you die and come back reincarnated as my daughter, but if you do it’d be hilarious and pretty on brand for us).

Everytime I remember you exist I am no longer alone. One time we were talking about the saints (this phrase in itself explains our relationship better than any other thing I can say here) and we said: I’d pick your saint if you pick mine. I remember the first time I wrote it, I looked at the screen, I looked at me and I looked at you (the only way I can, deep inside my mind) and I realize that with no other person this sentiment would make sense, no other person could I send a message at 22h explaining the in-depth history of Brazilian reality shows and make it so that I’m not insane or annoying or terrible, no other person would I search the deep webs of Wikipedia to find out what Saint was killed on June 10 (ps. It’s Saint Olivia, that’s my sisters name).

Saint Emma is the keeper of pharmacy, Saint Luisa the keeper of grief, somewhere along the lines God made it so we can meet and this would make a little bit too much sense.

I want to thank you for always holding my hand, even if have never touched, even if we never do. Times passed, I forget to write and now your birthday is in 4 days and now it is in 2 days and I find myself plagued by a loneliness only you can fill (I think this is the gayest sentence I’ve ever wrote and that’s saying something). Right now I look at the sun and it’s 4pm here so it means that in the other side of the world it’s 3pm and you are looking at the same sun, as the sunlight burns the right side of my face I can’t help but wonder if right now, in the other side of the hemisphere, it burns the left side of your face, that in the sunlight our faces meet and become one (again, really going for the gayness vibe rn).

The only future I am content with is the one I have you by my side, it’s the one I can call you to spend christmas with my family be it next to a British young star celebrity or not (but like if god wants him to spend several christmases with me then like I can’t say no right that’s on God not me right anyways I’m getting of track-) In the good ending it’s Christmas afternoon and I’m sitting by the pool showing you how to open an earl fruit or a persimmon while my siblings play with the speaker. In the good ending we’re in a club in New Jersey and I have no idea how to order a drink, in the good ending, when the movie is about to be done I grab your hand and say “hey.”

So, yeah.

Hey.

[saucebou]

Out of the blue I remembered that Kutzgazart video where he opened with explaining a war where all the prisoners where blinded except for one guy who had one eye and he had to lead everyone home.

And because I’m that guy who looks up the Wikipedia entry for niche things I decided to search for it because why not

And of course it was a bitch and a half because there’s this proverb about the blind leading the blind that does not relate to the story at all.

So I finally find it, the after math of Battle of Kleidion.

And of course I find this

I’m not even trying at this point.

This game is just finding me.

First: preserving the tags

Second: when your job depends on you compartmentalizing all your feelings and frustrations and rage--especially if a major source of it IS your job--you learn how to put on the act, otherwise, you get fired.

Even the absolute sweetest people I have ever know will straight up shift gears into 'choke a bitch' mode if the situation calls for it.

Anyone who doesn't understand this and just calls that psychopathy does not understand what that word means.

Also note: the word 'antisocial' here DOES NOT MEAN "I just don't like being social or around people, I prefer to be by myself". That just means you're an introvert.

Antisocial means:

Seriously, please... just... pull out a damn dictionary or do a google search. I promise, Wikipedia is incredibly helpful when you learn how to use it properly.

I can't speak to the point of whether or not this is still going on, but I'm old enough to remember that Delta Airlines used to require their flight crews to practically always be smiling. They were required to always be chipper, cheerful, helpful, non-confrontational, and accommodating. Now compare that to Spirit Airlines and tell me what you think.

Delta was paying for a performance, because no one who voluntarily climbs into a smoke-stink-filled sky tube with 50 other souls to go through the literal and figurative ups and downs of a flight with your ears popping and the seats squeezed together so you feel like a sardine in a can and the noise and the shared armrests and the lack of personal space in general... is going to be endlessly optimistic and upbeat and happy. They're gonna be 'meh' at best. But Delta ensured that your flight crew would always be there with a smile. An unmoving, unchanging, never to be relaxed smile, even if the flight attendant was ready to choke the next man who spanked her ass and called her toots.

You are actually several different people all the time.

You are one person at home when you are alone.

You are another person around your friends.

You are another person at school or at work.

You are another person at the doctor or at church.

You are another person around your parents and/or siblings.

You are another person when you get pulled over by the police.

You are another person when you are at the drive through.

All these different people--and more--exist inside you. If you are not able to recognize that, then perhaps it's time you took a moment and engaged in some serious self-reflection. Or maybe you really ARE a psychopath and have tendency towards anti-social behavior.
