Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

in recent events of that zoo losing the clouded leopard, it reminded me of the time i went to a large petting zoo and there was a free roaming little black sheep. cutest little guy i ever saw, soi went to the zookeeper nearby and said ‘i think its really cute how you have a sheep thats allowed to just walk around. ‘ then the zookeepers eyes widened and he grabbed his walky talky and ran

riverdale was not great because it asked what if everyone was gay. what if two girls who have never felt at home in their bodies or their (heterosexual) relationships were intergalactic soulmates the whole time. what if the homophobic cop and bigoted uncle were secretly together and got murdered by betty’s ex-half brother while cruising for a third. what if the ex-half brother was a cam boy criminal gay married to her real half brother fbi agent. what if the mommy issues caricature was a dominatrix and tormented her daughter because she had been taught that her own same-sex tendencies were “impure”. IT WAS GREAT BECAUSE THEY STILL FOUND THE TIME TO QUEERBAIT.

He repeated: "Long live the Republic!" crossed the room with a firm stride and placed himself in front of the guns beside Enjolras. "Finish both of us at one blow," said he. And turning gently to Enjolras, he said to him: "Do you permit it?" Enjolras pressed his hand with a smile. This smile was not ended when the report resounded.

Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal

[tlirsgender]

A laptop is a living creature. It has weight to it. A laptop breathes and produces body heat. And it wants to die badly. Mobile phones are not sentient like that & that's why they don't experience mental illness. A phone problem is like "out of storage :(" or "charging port broke". Laptops will cough weakly as they fade in and out of consciousness

[tlirsgender]

You will hold a laptop in your arms and it's like "I can't feel my legs". And you tell it girl you never had any

My favorite part of this post is that it implies Fred is the one saying “FUCK” because we know who typically says the other 4 things

genuinely, i think watching live theatre can improve your media literacy so much

like people who look at doctor who and are like 'lol the effects are so rubbish'

maybe watch a stage play where there's no backdrops and half the characters are played by the same three guys in different hats and maybe you will calm down

People who were raised on Marvel movies simply don’t understand the beauty of a well made and executed practical effect

You ever seen a person in all black operating a bird puppet? No you haven’t because we’ve all agreed to ignore the people dressed in all black. That’s a bird.

Luke being given a quest at 17, feeling like there's no glory in it because it's a quest someone's already succeeded before, but then failing that very quest he considered to be beneath him, getting a permanent scar, "ruining it" for the rest of the campers because now no one else can go on quests and earn glory in the eyes of the gods, so he turns to Kronos, and years later here comes a possible candidate for the great prophecy, 12 years old, gets the first quest the camp has done since Luke's fucked it up, and Luke is actively ensuring this quest is an impossible quest!! he's literally rigged it so Percy's gonna fail (the shoes, the bolt appearing in his bag) and then this kid somehow succeeds still??? and not only that, Percy got the unique quest Luke wanted in the first place and achieved feats no one else had and earned glory in the eyes of his father, all because Luke created the circumstances for that to happen??

oh my god yeah I don't think I'd ever recover from that either

[ofswordsandpens]

trainwreck Luke they could never make me hate you!!

[ofswordsandpens]

"Luke was beefing with a child" You know what if I was regularly getting my shit rocked by a mouthy preteen I also would be plotting for his downfall like don't get me wrong, Luke definitely has his issues, but I can't lie and say I also wouldn't be going a little batshit if my mortal enemy had to be a middle schooler that just won't die

Wait… Did the little one get into insurance so people could get compensation for his big brother’s damage?

[alberto-balsalm]

No, the big one got into property damage so people would buy his little brother’s insurance

[fiction-podcast-lover]

You see the joke about zoning out during a show/movie/audio book/fiction podcast and suddenly the plot went completely off the rails and you ask yourself what happened??

That cannot happen while listening to the Les mis audio book, I be zoning out for 15/20 minutes and it's STILL yapping about the same thing

[secretmellowblog]

You zone out for thirty minutes listening to Les Mis and the narrator is still going through that one 2-page long sentence about Louis-Philippe

ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:

if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.

the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?

people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...

all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads
