I am gonna try to be so kind about this but when you use AI, I personally think that’s no longer by you.

the point in creative work is expressing yourself, how you feel, no matter how ugly or how bad it is, it is YOU.

What is the point in creating something if your HEART isn’t even in it :(

I just think that it’s sad more than anything that you are not using your God given talents and instead just leaving it to AI to think for you :(

I hope that no one takes this the wrong way but if I do burn a few bridges then sure.. I find myself pretty tolerating I mean I get why some people use it for work or whatever but creative work with AI will never align with my personal values. It’s just such a shame to kind of turn off your brain or creative juices yk?? Please use it I really would rather hear YOU!

I just want you to know that by using AI, you are hiding from us an incredible piece that could have been. YOU will always be better than whatever AI could come up with 🫶🏼

The way im actually sobbing rn please dont let literacy die

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

okay so ive seen the theme of linguang-jun trying to wife-steal airplane away from mobei jun a few times and that's oki and all BUT MIGHT I SUGGEST MY CURRENT BRAINWORM AS AN ALTERNATIVE

mobei jun wife-stealing shang qinghua from linguang jun.

it's purely a political move. mobei jun doesnt even know this guy, or if he does, he hasn't really fallen for airplane's charms yet. it's just this rodent man that his uncle is marrying and mobei-jun is in the middle of undercutting his uncle's political power and wife-stealing is just basically the next logical step for him

he doesnt actually consider what it means to wife-steal a guy, okay. he wasnt thinking that far ahead. he thought maybe a bit about papapa or heirs or that sort of shit, cuz that stuff is obvious. but he never really considered what it would be like to suddenly have this man living with him and sleeping in bed with him and waking up together every morning and talking at him nonstop and writing his insane porn and scheming for him and just... he never thought for one minute what it would be like to have a husband and he is at a complete loss lmfao

meanwhile airplane is like "meh i traded one loveless marriage with a random ice demon for another loveless marriage with a different ice demon, im not exactly losing sleep over this shit. besides, i wound up with the hotter one" (either an au without transmigration orrr where mobei jun was a kinda forgettable background character or even just "look he was my fav character but that doesnt mean i wanted to marry the guy lmfao i just think this type of personality is cool in fiction" REGARDLESS airplane isnt simping yet, he's just living his life lolol)

but yes, i want mobei jun to wife-steal the hell out of shang qinghua and to be utterly baffled when his husband is now just so much more than he expected. i want mobei jun to go a full arc of "omg im falling in love with my husband and i dont know how to feel about that". i want shang qinghua to just be a delightful gremlin who's rolling with the punches and living his best life "look i get to be queen of the north regardless, im living the dream life guys. DO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW FULL MY COFFERS ARE???". but also shang qinghua being hella good and capable and causing mobei jun to sit here like "wait did he just fix my entire palace in his spare time....... and now he's eating melon seeds and scratching his ass I DONT KNOW HOW TO COPE BUT NOW IM HORNY GRIPPING KNEE AND UNCLE WHAT THE FUCK"

linguang jun who spent exactly enough time with shang qinghua to know that marrying the rat would be hellish is just like "ngl, p happy he got bride-napped lmfao". look, linguang jun isnt into rodents. thats mobei jun's kink oki

shiu kong who loves his pretty girl, absolutely adores her— he just.. works a bit more than what he says he does.

“again?” you ask, lying on your back against the plush couch, breasts spilling to the side and you close your legs against his chest. “thats the second time we’ve stopped in the middle of sex just so you can take a call.”

“i know, sweet girl.” he says softly, holding your calve and pressing the end call button. “its work, i have to be there in fifteen minutes.” he sighs, pulling himself away and you feel even more empty. “ill make it up to you—“

“just go.” you scoff, pulling yourself together and trying to bite back tears. you hated this shit, always having to keep your relationship on hold simply because of his work life. you feel your chin get tilted up to the side. “what.”

“i promise, ill make it up to you, doll.” he presses his lips against your neck, the stubble on his lip tickling and poking you. “just let me do the dirty work.”

it feels good in the moment, especially when he says such sweet things and sounds like he means business. until its becoming suffocatingly obvious that he needs help on keeping his words.

“dinner looks great, baby.” you giggle, having his arm wrapped around your shoulder and pressing a kiss to his cheek. “i love it.”

“i knew you would.” he chuckles, lifting your head up to his and pressing a kiss. you wanted to mold to him, but he demanded softly that you did. his bigger hands were squeezing any places they could, sucking the breath out of your lungs and groping your hips—

“shiu, not here..” you whimper quietly, because that grope would be a trigger for you. it triggers carnal desire from both of you, knowing how you are.. messy.

“calm down, doll.” he cooly laughed, “im not going to fuck you here, just let me do what i want— just a little bit..”

you nod, feeling his lips trail down your neck with soft kisses. his fingers slip down to your thigh, gripping the flesh. “shiuu..”

he chuckles, suckling at the soft flesh of your jaw—

until his phone goes off, ringing a bit loud.. which was work. he sighs, he knows youre about to lose your shit. “hold on, baby.” he mumbles, answering and growing agitated. “alright, alright.” he replies, hanging up and pinching the bridge of his nose. “im sorry, doll—“

“just take me home, dont say shit to me.” you growled, folding your arms and holding your tears back. just one night, one night you could have with him and he actually had both feet in the door. it infuriates you, you having to be second to last in his life. you hear him exhale, leaving the bill and then reaching a hand out to walk you out.

you declined.

“yer so messy, tonight. you havent had any in a while, huh?” the black haired man snickers, biting at the back of your neck. “listen to how she mewls to me..” he kisses, holding your hips down and licking at his lips.

“oh shit.. fuuuck!—“ you squeal, head being pushed into the pillows and plowed into. “fuckfuck!—“ you moaned, you were getting too loud. your clit throbs, you were getting so close.. and he kept teasing you about it. he always did, always taking two fingers to your clit and circling your creamy cunny. “gunnacomegunnacome!”

“then come, dont keep me waitin’ .” he chuckles, groaning when he feels you clamp down on him. “there it is, there it is!” his eyes get primal, licking at his teeth.

it all feels like heaven, your body convulsing with overstimulation and you look up , finally from the darkness—

until your blood ran cold, seeing shiu kong sitting on the couch that rested in your room. he pulls the cigarette from his lips, exhaling and a small smile. “you having fun with toji, girly?” he taps his foot, crossing over his legs.

“i—“ you choke on spit, and suddenly moan. “ohh!”

toji grins, pressing his mushroom tip deeper into your cervix. “better answer before i come, too.”

you and yunho just stared at each other, your fingers fumbling with the straw.

" well, we're here. What not now?" you asked.

Yunho shifted in his seat, avoiding eye contact with you as he let out a small chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I don't know," he admitted. "I didn’t think this far ahead."

You sighed, swirling your drink with the straw. "Of course you didn’t."

Yunho rolled his eyes, " look i'm sorry okay"

You nodded your head, " great you're sorry. anything else?"

Yunho let out a frustrated sigh, leaning back in his seat. "What do you want me to say, Yn?"

" oh i dont know, maybe an actual apology. You really said some mean things and i'm not going to act like it didn't hurt my feelings" you said, your tone slightly irritated.

Yunho sighed, his shoulders deflating as he rubbed his hands over his face. "I know," he muttered. "I know I was an ass, and I shouldn’t have said any of that."

You waited, watching him carefully.

He exhaled deeply before looking at you again, sincerity written all over his face. " why don't we start all over? i know it won't erase what i said in the past but im willing to try for us to actually be friends."

You stared at him for a moment, your fingers still tapping idly against your cup. "Starting over, huh?"

Yunho gave a small, almost sheepish nod. "Yeah. A clean slate."

You let out a dry laugh, shaking your head. "You make it sound so easy."

"I know it's not," he admitted. "But I don’t want things to be like this between us. I don’t want you to look at me and remember the worst things I’ve said."

Your chest tightened at that. As much as you hated to admit it, he was right. The way things were now—this awkwardness, the hesitation in his voice—it wasn’t what you wanted either.

You sighed, finally meeting his gaze. "Alright, Yunho. We can try."

His expression brightened, relief washing over him. "Really?"

You smirked slightly, though the weight in your heart hadn't quite lifted. "Don't make me regret it."

He grinned, sticking his hand out between you. "Deal."

You hesitated for only a second before shaking it. Maybe this wouldn't fix everything, but it was a start.

rafe cameron x plus!fem!reader.

warnings: mention of fat shaming, swearing, anger issues, physical violence.

summary: rafe is obsessed with you, he can’t get enough. and when someone threatens his relationship with you, it send him over the edge.

a/n: thanks for reading this! if you enjoyed please like and comment so i know what content you guys enjoy! <3

——————————————————————————

“i’m sorry rafe, but i can’t be friends with someone who still associates with topper.” his face falls as you continued. “he fat shames and bullies me, i just don’t want anything to do with him.” his eyes trace down your body, “when did he say that?” you roll your eyes, scoffing, “it doesn’t matter when he said it. he still said it.” rafe shakes his head, shocked since he was unaware of what topper was saying.

he thinks, trying to figure out how he can fix the situation at hand. “ill tell him to stop! i promise, he won’t say anything anymore. everything will be normal again.” you stare at him, unamused. “rafe,” you start, his eyes look at yours. “what?” he responds, questioning you. “you aren’t hearing me correctly rafe… i don’t want to talk to him ever again. even if you ask him to not say anything anymore, that doesn’t mean he won’t think the same things, and it definitely doesn’t change the past.” his hands run themselves through his hair.

“what can i do? i don’t want to lose you baby, tell me what i need to do.” you shrug, unsure on what to say. "i dont know what you can do, because the only solution we have is to cut him out of our lives." he groans, but before he can protest you interrupt, "he is openly fat shaming your girlfriend rafe, doesn't that upset you?" his eyes squint. "yes, that does upset me." he turns away, walking out the front door. "you coming?" you eagerly follow after him. you're unsure of what he is about to do, but you knew you did not want to miss it.

rafe is on a quick hunt searching for topper. the more he thinks about what you said, the grumpier he becomes. “when i find topper, im gonna kick his ass.” his anger fueled his adrenaline, and he was walking so fast you struggled to keep up. “rafe! slow down!” you hurriedly followed behind him, you finally reach him, his car in sight. he opened the passenger door, “get in.” you obediently do as he says, letting him close the door for you. you reach for your seatbelt, fastening it.

rafe speedily approaches the driver side door, he rips it open, his face was red with heat. his chest heaving slightly. he steps into the car, turning the key. he made sure the cool ac was on, before glancing over at you. “baby.” he spoke sternly, and it immediately brought an uneasy feeling to your gut. “yes, rafe?” you spoke softly, your eyes locked with his. “if anyone ever, says something to you like that, you need to tell me, right then and there.” you nod but he continues. “don’t wait to tell me someone hurt you. i need you to trust me.” you smile.

“i do trust you rafe, and i always tell you when someone has been mean or backhanded. but it’s different when it’s your friends.” he nods, “it’s you before my friends. i couldn’t care less about them. you are my priority.” you pull rafe into a tight hug, your arms wrapped around his shoulders. you look up, whispering kindly, “you do protect me rafe, i love you so much.” he hungrily leans over the middle console, his lips crashing against yours. “i love you so much more.” he puts the car in reverse, “how many times has he said mean stuff to you?” rafe asks. you think for a moment. “most of the time when he is around he’d say a mean comment.” rafe hands are gripping the wheel firmly, his interrogation with you only adding to the flame. “i can’t believe all this time he was disrespectful to you, this wont happen again.”

rafe puts the car in park outside of toppers home. “you stay here.” rafe pulls out his phone, dialing toppers number. “hey, i’m outside.” you couldn’t hear what toppers response was. “nah, how about you meet me out here?” rafe rolls the window down, “in case you want to hear what’s about to go down.” he chuckles darkly, hopping out his car, shutting the door behind him. topper is approaching the car, and rafe yells out. “topper! yeah man, look.” rafe gets stern and serious as he steps closer to him. “you’ve been saying shit to my girl, that’s not cool.” toppers face goes white. “no, its just jokes, i swear.” he tries to excuse his behaviors but rafe doesn’t buy it. “well she doesn’t think it’s funny.” he tilts his head, “and right now?” he starts, “i don’t find the shit funny.” topper nods, backing away slowly. rafe lunges forward, getting in his face. “is that all you can say to me?” rafe scoffs, “still such a pussy. come on!” topper looks around, and you make eye contact with him through the cars windshield. “look, ill tell your girl i’m sorry. i wasn’t trying to be a dick.” rafe nods, “okay, yeah. lets go.” rafe leads topper to your window and you roll it down. “i’m sorry for saying those things to you. i wasn’t trying to hurt your feelings.” you nod, “yeah you were a real asshole.” you admit. rafe nods, “thank you topper, but i still have to do this.” rafe swings topper straight in the face, and topper goes flying back. “next time, think before you speak.” topper groans, “what the fuck?” you hide your smile, “sorry man, but you disrespected me, by disrespecting her.” rafe hops into the car. “i’m so sorry baby.” you bite your lip. “don’t be sorry rafe, you defended me.” the two of you drive off, leaving topper blindsided.

@shaotie hope u dont mind the @ but i instantly got reminded of all your incredibly well-written, leo-angst fics with this idea. Thought youd love to read the angst potential of this one <3

Anyways-

Im gonna ramble about this because like woh, wooohhhh, whuuuhhhhhh... Its gonna rattle around in my brain for days. I love these quietly sad stories.

Ive read some Robot Leo fics and theyve destroyed my feels with their sad or unfinished endings where Donnie's just made a simple AI thats incredibly Leo-like n all. One of em (that was finished) just had a super vague "they act too real to be just an ai but the author never confirmed nor denied" so it was left up to interpretation... and the ending was happy/sad with the ai asking to be "let go/let me rest in peace" kind of thing.

But this??? THIS!? HHHHRRRRRR......

THE POTENTIAL!!! They dont know its possessed by the actual Leo thats slowly just manipulating the AI/taking control more and more overtime?? WHU

His bros wouldnt want to get attached to that thing bc, its just a robot! Just Donnie's way of coping that theyve all reluctantly agreed to... (THEYRE STILL GREIVING) Itd probably be rlly awkward for everyone else having a robot clone of your dead brother/friend/sensei walking around. And he gets more lifelike overtime bc Leo's slowly taking control!? Starts getting eerily more accurate to the real Leo? They begin to notice the mannerisms an AI (even one so advanced) somehow has begun to perfect to an insane degree, says things an AI shouldnt even know/be able to come up with but the real Leo does. Does the voice of the robot slowly get closer and closer to Leo's real voice because of the possession? Instead of recorded sounds and reactions, does it start making unique sounds because of it? (Did donnie program the AI/robot to have his memories??? If not, then itd freak them out if it began recalling/referencing things only Leo and the fam knows about. But thatd probably clue them in an ruin the end goal of the plot tbh... BUT STILL)

And when it starts breaking the coding, and disobeying commands, and trying to hang out with the bros who are just severely disturbed and no where near ready for Donnie's eerily similar robot to interact with them, that seems to be trying to replace Leo? What line did Leo cross for Donnie to destroy the robot...? Did his brothers draw the line or did Donnie? Did Leo approach one of his brothers and try to comfort them but it backfired? Did Raph order Donnie to do it? The robot could remind Raph of that possessed rabbit (yk the one hehe) or Mikey couldnt handle seeing Leo's face on a robot, or Donnie couldnt take something of his going awry again when the AI stopped listening... especially when THIS project means so much to him? Maybe theres a final straw, and all the little things just pile up until someone snaps. But on the other hand theres just Leo's ghost trying to return to his fam, spend time with them. Leo doesnt want to be alone so he spends every moment he can around them. He probably isnt fully aware/there at first either... Does he know hijacking the robot wasnt intentional? Does he think Donnie planned this/made a body for his spirit, or that its an accident. OR, did he see Donnie making a robot and take this as his opportunity to return? Didnt know if itd work because his spirit form was so weak, but took a chance and tried anyway?

Can he control it when its powered off? When its powered off/charging is Leo forced out or does he 'sleep'. Does it even need to be charged? Maybe he doesnt need sleep.

What about that learning curve when he begins to override the AI? Whats that like? He probably feels powerless/like a spectator at first, but when he first finally makes the robot follow one of his commands...? The implications!! If he can control it he can come back instead of just watching like an outsider.

But, the thing is when he breaks the coding/doesnt follow whatever rules it just backfires on him because they dont know its Leo possessing it. Does Leo know they dont know? Probably, pretty quickly. Hes just stuck here trying to live a second life. Maybe he tries to tell them, but everyones in denial, or just think its Donnie's coding gone haywire again and become self aware like Shelldon.

Trying to think about whats going on for Leo when Donnie destroys the robot hes living in... just hurts too much to put into words........ that whole situation D:

Little idea I just had:

After Leo's tragic death, Donnie builds a robot that looks just like Leo (like in all those fanfics). The twist? Leo's actual spirit possesses the robot.

At first, Leo's ghost can't do much. He's weak, and so the robot just follows its intended programming while Leo goes along for the ride. But slowly, as Leo gets used to his new existence, he learns to override the robot's AI, and basically use the robot as a new body. But, there's a problem.

Leo's brothers don't know that the robot is possessed. So when Leo starts to disobey the robot's programming, it causes issues. Donnie barely convinced the family to let him undertake this project, and now, his robot is getting far too invasive, clinging to it's "brothers" even when explicitly commanded not to. Of course, this is just Leo trying to interact with his family after being thrust into the spirit realm. But in everyone else's eyes, it's a weird and creepy robot, with faulty AI that can't understand boundaries.

Finally, Donnie has enough. The robot crosses a line, so Donnie takes it out into a sewer tunnel and destroys it, smashing it into scrap metal. The family is glad to be rid of the thing, which they began to see as a flawed coping mechanism. But Leo's spirit still clings to the robot.

And Leo is terrified. He doesn't understand what happened, or why Donnie would do something like that to him. Leo had been using the robot to live a second life, to speak and move freely, to talk with his family. And once Donnie destroys the robot, that is all ripped from him. Without a vessel to ground him in the mortal world, Leo is forced back into the spirit realm, separated from his brothers all over again, rejected by his family. And in his confusion, Leo gets angry.

Strange little things start to happen in the lair. People get calls that just play static, mystic powers fail more often than usual, Donnie's tech malfunctions. It's weird, but no one minds too much.

Then, one day, Donnie walks into his lab, to see Leo's robot, sitting on the table. It's perfectly repaired, to the extent that no one could even tell it was broken in the first place. It's eyelights are on, and it slowly looks up at Donnie.

"I hate you," It says in a perfect copy of Leo's voice. "I hate you."

And for the first time since his robot was finished, Donnie understands that something is very, very wrong.

Alright so Im just gonna run through some of the points here and hopefully i can explain this well enough

1. If Jellal Doesn’t Need Internal Redemption, Why Does He Need Erza’s Validation?

Because people still got hurt. Jellal might be redeemed now but the consequences of his actions still remain. my argument was that I would liked to see a little more from Erzas perspective because we know she was deeply traumatized by him and that isn't just gonna disappear overnight no matter how much she might want to forgive him immediately. Jellals redemption doesn't need her validation its not about that, its about how I would have liked to see her character develop from that point forward and why i think its important development for their relationship.

2. You Moved the Goalpost: Your Original Argument Was About Erza’s Feelings, Not Just “Perspective.”

what i meant was to see her feelings and her perspective on jellal. sorry if that was unclear ig but that's why i'm trying to elaborate. in anycase I dont think Erzas perspective is necessary to "validate" jellals redemption, I think its necessary for HER character because I want to actually see her grow past her trauma. I think it would make their relationship be beneficial to their relationship if we saw her come to forgive him on her own rather then just be alright with everything one day.

If Jellal’s redemption is truly about himself, why does it need to be filtered through Erza’s point of view for it to be valid?

so to answer your question, its valid regardless. I just think it would have added to the believability of their relationship if we'd been able to see erza's feelings develop overtime.

3. Why Does Erza’s Perspective Matter More Than Jellal’s Other Victims?

in the literal sense it doesn't, but like I said this is a story. narratively Erzas forgiveness is important because shes the one we've seen the direct consequences of his actions on the most, that and the fact he's supposed to be in a romantic relationship with her eventually means that her feelings specifically are important to the narrative.

Why does Erza’s forgiveness matter more than justice for the people who actually suffered from his crimes?

?it doesn't? I'm sorry I don't really understand how this is relevant to my point. are you arguing he should spend his whole life fighting crime? I don't think that's the case but I also fail to see your point, If you could explain to me what it is your arguing here that would be helpful.

4. You Excuse the Power Imbalance Between Them Without Addressing It.

? Im not really sure where to go with this one. my original point was that I think erzas side of things is underdeveloped and your kind of getting onto a different topic. If you want my honest answer as to why she doesn't correct him, as far as I'm aware she does? I can think of a couple instances if you want examples.

I also don't see how she benefits from him doing that at all, In fact I think it actually goes against her character arc because rather then loving her as a person he treats her more like an ideal. personally, Id prefer of it was treated as a character flaw and something that changes as Jellal develops into being more of his own person after so many years without that opportunity, but I also don't really see how this negates any of my original point?

5. You Contradict Yourself On How Their Arcs Should Be Handled.

ok let me be clear, I call it a redemption arc but that's kind of a misnomer since Jellal didn't have the change in mindset that characterizes a true redemption arc. I think that Jellals character arc should be focused on himself, however I think that Erzas character arc should continue because the consequences of what he did are still relevant to both of them. Jellal is, technically speaking, redeemed, he isn't evil anymore. but there is still consequences of what he did aren't just gonna go away because it technically wasn't his fault.

Im not saying jellals entire arc needs to be shown through erzas eyes, im just saying that I would have preferred to see more of her perspective. since they are going to be in a relationship eventually seeing erza deal with those consequences and come to terms with them is as important to him as it is to her because it makes the relationship feel more believable as a whole.

case and point: Im not saying jellals arc itself need to revolve around erza, im just saying I would have prefered if erza herself had been allowed to develop on her own post tenrou. erzas feelings arent necessary for validation of jellals arc, but they are necessary for developing their relationship.

Jellals arc should be focused on himself, stopping punishing himself and discovering what he wants out of life. meanwhile, erza continues to recover from the trauma and eventually comes to forgive him. from there they start to reconnect and rebuild their relationship as a team. seeing both these things happen makes the payoff of their relationship feel earned because it shows that both have truly moved on from their past.

TLDR; I dont think erzas feelings are necessary to validate jellals redemption, But they are necessary for developing the relationship. I think seeing them would also benefit Jellal because as erza comes to forgive so does the audience, but i don't think it needs to be jellals entire arc. Jellal is free to do what he wants but the consequences of his actions are still relevant to both of them and I think addressing them and how they are continuing to effect erza is important if they are going to eventually be in a relationship. My point wasnt that jellals arc needed more focus on erza, it was that the relationship as a whole would benefit from getting some more of her perspective.

again I hope I explained this ok, feel free to elaborate on any of the points I asked about. I hope I was able to explain my thoughts clearly enough but sorry if its confusing im not great with wording. If you still dont agree with me thats fine Im just trying to elaborate further because you seem to think im saying that more of jellals arc should have focused on erza when what im trying to say here is that i would have just liked to see more of her perspective on him

I think the biggest flaw in the jerza/ jellal redemption as a whole will always be the lack of focus that erza's feelings/perspective on that whole situation are given. I will probably rant about this someday but, for now, consider this me tossing my opinion out like a live grenade and then scurrying back to my hole in the wall to see what comes of it

do y'all think Macaque is falling back into the role that Azure and the others put on him by remaining on the outskirts of the group because he thinks his input/presence is unwanted (and yeah his presence isn't really wanted by MK and the others BUT. something about the fact Macaque is placing himself at the edge of the group, the edge that Azure and the others pushed him to, doesn't really sit well)

#and you CAN write memory-unsafe rust code; it just has to be within an “unsafe” block#so you DO have access to some C-like constructs if you Really Need to do smth like that#maybe thats useful for the linux kernel or w/e but i certainly havent needed to use it. rust's normal stuff works just fine

just expanding on this, it being in a separate block means that if anything fucks up then theres only a small area of code to search for. if you get a segfault in C, then any bit of code could do that. if you get a segfault in rust then only* unsafe code can do that. unsafe can also be used when you as the programmer knows something the compiler doesnt.

basic rust:

rust makes sure that in "safe" rust if some data can mutate, there can only be one consumer at a time. you dont want x to change while something else prints x. you dont want race conditions.

rust also deals with mutability. by default it is not possible to mutate some data, you have to mark it as mutable. and again, you cannot have multiple mutable references to the same data.

slices. in rust a slice is a datatype that is effectively an array. a continuous block of data. an array is of fixed size, a vec can grow and shrink, and a slice is generic and works with both of them.

the unsafe code part:

... sometimes this "one mutable reference per bit of data" is overly restrictive! lets say you have some slice, and you want to split it in two. uhhh i dont know, lets say its sorted and you want to split it into two arrays for negatives and positives/zeros, and you want both of these two new arrays to be mutable. well if we design a function to split arr in two, it would need to return (&mut [T], &mut [T]). two separate mutable slices. but the data is owned by one variable. we know we can split this variable up, but the compiler doesnt! it just sees lots of data owned by one variable!

so any function splitting into multiple mutable parts needs unsafe code to get around this!

this example was taken from the book.

*although it would be great if segfaults were guaranteed to be only in unsafe code, im not sure it would be possible to *guarantee* this. the compiler devs are human and mistakes sometimes slip through. e.g. cve-rs was a fun project that allowed for so much bullshit, but the bug it exploited has been patched.

what the devs can guarantee, however, is that you wont get segfaults in safe code unless you specifically look for them. if youre just writing code and not trying to get a segfault, you wont get segfaults in safe code.

also when i say segfaults i mean them and a whole host of other memory corruption errors. use after frees, double frees, etc.

If any Haskell and or Rust fans follow me, give me 1 good reason to learn them

I was afraid I’d lose him. So I got there late. And… as I entered, I saw him about to take pictures by himself. The first thing that I felt was… I wanted to hug him. No matter how bad I was to him, he’s still there for me. Every time that I’ve fallen or torn apart, he always runs up to me. He’ll come running and hug me. The same goes for this time, where he shows up. Am I happy? I’m really delighted. I really am. I’d like to thank Save for always being by my side till this very day.

My personal 9/11 of the state of sharks rpf (incl. of fic posts narrativitzation everything etc) is that every time i see anythi f about paternal relationships its almost always macklin when EYE think klim kostin has way more interesting media uotes about his father except most of the meat is in russian articles so you gotta google translate them. Rick being a public figure and his son being a 1oa pick making them more famous than this ex highly ranked prospect that stopped being highly ranked like half a decade ago is my downfall
