sorry to be aromantic but i need more stories w characters who get absolutely no romantic interests, plots, or romantic ending ‼️ gimme ppl w complex interpersonal relationships put into emotional life situations ‼️ but they all get zero bitches ‼️
had a dream that I was Sam Vimes and I was walking home after a rainstorm but then I decided to stop by a hill with a fallen tree (no one was allowed to take it, I don't remember why), and this guy I had been trying to catch earlier was there, chopping up the wood. he had an accomplice this time, though, so I ducked out of sight, trying to figure out how to make this work when I was outnumbered and both of them were above me. they saw me, unfortunately, and then started making fun of me and one shot a little rock at me like a blowdart. pretty impressive, considering the distance. they let me shoot one back too, as a show of truce, I guess. at this point they had stopped chopping wood and were no longer doing anything illegal, and they must have hidden the axe, so it would have been a my-word-against-theirs situation. I think I just left them alone after that but I'm not sure; I had a bunch of weird dreams

Thank you for posting your tweets, I do not enjoy going there.
It’s really not a good or productive website to use at all but it’s my biggest foothold into relevancy because I know sometimes JD Vance sees my tweets telling him that his mom traded him for some pocket lint and a perc 20
Nobody is having fun on that website. One of the nazis who posted my address had a group of even more insane nazis post his birth certificate a couple of days later. It’s like the Abyss Watchers on there, just stupid chuds executing each other over and over out of some ritualized algorithm-induced compulsion. But for some reason the Vice President gets mad and starts twitter arguments with people in his replies. And one time the Iranians shot a ballistic missile at a target in Israel because a guy with an anime profile picture told them to. A japanese guy used the auto translate to call me names for calling the new japanese PM “female hitler” and the japanese government made me take my post down because I just responded with an image of the thing they used to kill Shinzo Abe. Cyberstalking and harassment is openly encouraged by the moderators. It’s the world’s public forum in the most despicable and honest sense of the term.
which of these things puts you off the most from a fic you otherwise would be interested in
no paragraph separation
creator chose not to use archive warnings
tags used as stream of consciousness text rather than clear and organizational
excessive notes
self-deprecating comments in tags and/or notes
a huge block of tags
not marked as complete yet
something in the kudos/comments/hits number or ratio (clarify in tags)
grammar issues
punctuation and capitalization issues
contradicting tags
other (clarify in tags)
Remaining time: 6 days 1 hour

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
The thing about the moon is maybe you don’t need to write a poem about the moon. The moon’s been done, we’ve discussed it. It’s a coin a mirror an eye a lantern in the darkness. It’s a rock in space. It’s the dang moon we’ve all seen it! Is there something you can notice that’s is more surprising than the moon???
