I think about this story two times a week:

they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

It's not a cure but you have no idea how many times this image has helped me with my OCD

see every time i see this status i get angry because i’ve played through literally every scenario in rct1 and there is no place where this is a thing. there is never more than one park per map. and in rct2 you can’t make that happen i the scenario editor either. it is not remotely within the game’s functionality to simulate two discrete parks and these games were coded in assembly for christ sake so it’s not like someone modded it in by adding the line “int const TOTAL_NUM_POSSIBLE_PARKS = 2;”. there is no conceivable way this post is anything close to true and even though i know how writing all this out reflects upon me as a person and even though i know exactly how meaningless and trifling of a takedown attempt this is on some random facebook screencap with hundreds of thousands of notes im going to post it anyway because i’m too petty to have any say in the matter

Book that was good: I liked it 👍

Book that was bad: this sucked 👎

Book that I wanted to like but which failed to live up to my hopes: I am going to write 10,000+ words explaining exactly why this book wronged me

I just found the funniest font ever

Like. What is this. Why is this. Who is the target audience of this?

[skrutskie]

The font is called "Redacted Script," it's available for free here, and I just ran to download it because I am, in fact, the target audience for this

I feel like advertising is probably the funniest place anyone can choose to predicate their moral arguments against AI on the basis of environmental impact because like. The advertising industry is already probably the most wasteful i dustry in terms of environmental costs vs. actual value it provides, to the point that adding AI to it amounts to a very small drop in the world's biggest bucket. Like.

"Using AI to design flyers looks cheap and tacky" 👍 I completely agree.

"Using AI to design flyers is bad for the environment" I can tell you with 100% absolute certainty that the environmental impact of printing hundreds of paper flyers which will be looked at exactly once and then thrown in the garbage is like. Several orders of magnitude bigger than the environmental impact of generating the picture that will go on said flyers.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Like I find it hard to think of a position that more succinctly communicates "I never think about where anything comes from or how it's produced or how it's disposed of or the environmental costs of any steps in that process unless there's some sort of moral panic telling me to be concerned about it" than thinking that the "AI" part of "ads made with AI" is the part that's bad for the environment.

Cellulose nitrate was used to make dice from the late 1860s until the middle of the twentieth century, and the material remains stable for decades. Then, in a flash, they can dramatically decompose. Nitric acid is released in a process called outgassing. The dice cleave, crumble, and then implode.

okay so spock (the alien in blue) essentially goes into heat. like literal heat like an animal. Anyway, spock’s in bloodlust in this episode and must go back to vulcan to have sex with his finace (or someone. but its supposed to be his fiance) or he’ll literally die. this is called pon farr and some backstory spock is half human and thought he wouldnt go through pon farr so he abandoned his HOT fiance to fuck around in space except oops pon farr happens so. he and kirk (in yellow getting his tits cut open, he’s also spocks captain and best friend) and their other friend mccoy go to vulcan so he can have sex with his fiance or get married or whatever so he doesn’t die. but then spock’s fiance (t’pring) is like no i dont want to marry spock i want to have him fight someone to death (which she can do) and spock at this point is fully in the ‘blood lust’ and is basically not in his right mind and doesnt get what’s happening. and t’pring picks kirk to be her ‘champion’ in the fight (her logic is that if spock dies in the fight she doesnt have to marry him and if kirk dies, spock will be so upset with her he won’t marry her anymore anyway). anyway kirk doesnt know that its a fight to the death and so he’s like of course i’ll do this fight if it’ll help spock and then he gets told it’s a fight to the death and he goes WHAT and right afterwards spock slices his titties open like in the gif. also eventually spock and kirk roll around in the sand and kirk fakes his death and THIS somehow knocks spock out of his blood lust and he goes back to the ship super sad bc he’s killed his ‘best friend’ only to discover kirk’s alive and we see one of his biggest smiles of the series (a big deal bc spock is vulcan and they dont show emotion). anyway this aired as the season opener in 1967. know your history and all that happy pride

my mom’s best friend has a sister who married a German guy and moved to Germany with him in the 80s and in 2010 the sister was visiting home for 3 weeks with one of her daughters and she and my mom decided i’d hang out with her daughter the entire time because her daughter didn’t know anyone and we were roughly the same age.

she spoke almost no English and I spoke absolutely zero German so for three weeks we walked laps through the cemetery near my house and listened to music on my ipod in my room and we used a German-English dictionary to parse out sentences as best we could but mostly we just pointed at things and played charades to communicate. all said we had a good time and laughed a lot. i don’t think of her often because it’s a hazy summer memory from my youth, but i do think of her fondly.

so today i got home and my mom’s best friend was having coffee in the living room with another woman—her sister. and I said “oh! you’re the sister from Germany!” and she said yes. I said it was nice to finally meet her and I asked after her daughter, by name, and she said “oh? she’s fine! ……you know her?”

I said yes, of course, after she visited in 2010.

An extremely confused conversation followed in which she and my mom’s friend insisted that her daughter hasn’t been to the u.s. since the early 1990s and it was virtually impossible for us to ever have met.

i was completely mystified. we ultimately decided that i just happened to spend 3 weeks hanging out with a different girl from Germany and perhaps I crossed wires in my memory in the last 15 years & somehow erroneously believed she was my mom’s best friend’s German niece. The fact that they have the same name? We have to assume it’s a complete coincidence.

what’s driving me to madness is that i didn’t exactly grow up in a culturally diverse town and you don’t often run into people visiting internationally.

and i KNOW she wasn’t an exchange student at any local school and I know she was a friend’s visiting family member. not to mention i wouldn’t have just run into her, and I know our hangouts were arranged by our parents. But my mom can’t think of a single other person we know with daughters in Germany.

We spent three whole weeks hanging out every single day. we took her camping. and it turns out I have no idea who she is and my mom doesn’t even remember her. So what the hell

[fireheartedpup]

Given my own conversations with my mother I think my opinion is that I WISH they would recognize that their memories are not as good as ours are.

[wizardarchetypes]

yeah honestly I’m pretty much convinced that they all just forgot she visited LMAO. I told them to ask her, so I’ll find out. Unfortunately all the photos from the camping trip were on my old Facebook that I deleted years ago. but I’m thinking it’s going to turn out to be that simple—that they just forgot.
