is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society
i have a suggestion
Any time someone starts some bullshit about how humans are hyperindividualistic and inherently selfish and exclusively motivated by self-intetest, I'll just tell them to go ahead and go do it then. Go live alone. Fuck off into the woods to make sure that no society ever benefits from your presence. See if you can teach yourself how to make a spear out of a rock or a shelter for one from nothing but your own wits and the nature around you. Go see how natural that feels, how happy it makes you to know that you don't need nobody and that nobody's life is improved by your presence.
What I admit I do like about early Pokemon is how rarely they went for the easy ideas first. They had to create 150 monster designs in one game, and I’m sure it could’ve been so easy to phone it in with some generic RPG-ass monster designs, but it took six generations for them to make a Pokemon based on a tree, seven generations for them to make a wolf. The grass type representation in gen 1 is palms, rafflesia flowers, pitcher plants, and cordyceps fungus
The first games introduced the concept of reanimating fossils, and the first fossils you can resurrect are horseshoe crabs, ammonites, and one (1) pteranodon. It took four generations before you could reanimate a dinosaur, and it took two more generations before you could reanimate a Tyrannosaurus rex
Gen 1 did have some generic RPG-ass monster designs (slime, snake, bat, Big Guy Made Of Rocks) but a lot of it is weird biology, visual puns, and references to Japanese folklore and pop culture. It was so much more important to make a Pokemon referencing the phrase “a duck comes bearing green onions” than a wolf, and I think that’s a load bearing pillar to the series’ ethos towards monster design
My edo period samurai roommate keeps telling me how i’ll bring shame and dishonor to our apartment if I keep forgetting to wash the dishes. Like whatever dude, I’m not the one carrying on a passionate yet illicit affair with the daimyo’s daughter whose hand has already been promised to another.
もう大名に「真に申し訳ございませんでした」と言いましたよ！と、お前は、我の浮気を公衆に明かさないと言いました！！
Bullshit dude last night I saw you texting O-Sumire haikus comparing her to the flower which gives her her name
“FMA is bad because it portrays war criminals as sympathetic, likable people” bro that’s the point. That’s the whole point. That is THE point. Did you think Ethnic Cleanser is some kind of special category of person that gets separated away from all the Good People at birth? Did you think there’s some kind of barn full of Genocide Doers that only gets deployed into the general public during world wars? Did you think assholes who do terrible shit in real life are never charming or likable or capable of doing good things and helping people? One of the best parts of FMA is how we the audience realize that some of our core protags have made irredeemable choices, and we have to reckon with the fact that they’re still people, with the unalienable rights and qualities thereof. Sorry if the Problematics aren’t constantly wearing a dunce cap and a list of all their crimes and this makes the media incomprehensible to you
These tags have passed peer review
damn
if only FMA would have had a character hunting and disposing of any person associated with a certain system bc he considered them all irredeemably evil regardless of who they were and whether they were guilty of the crimes he punished them for, only to realise that none of these actions were actually helping his community and the evil commited was bigger than individual ppl. so he targetted the true cancer at the certain of it all and started collaborating with the ppl he would have once killed bc he understood that these ppl were aware of the weight of their crimes/the crimes of the system and were determined to make the world a better place and give reparations to his community
oh wait–
There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.
The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.
The hospital says some limits on helipad access add pressure when children need lifesaving care.
Apparently this has been going on for decades and is only getting traction because a pilot complained on Twitter.
"i just dont think the scientology speedrun trend is funny because if people did that with any other religious institution-" ok guys lets all go to the 'scientology controversies' page on wikipedia and scroll a bit before continuing this thought. lets do this right now
They have been gradually feminizing the Water type starters each Pokemon generation
Gens 1-3, big, bulky, masculine Water type starters, Blastoise has cannons in its back, Feraligatr has sharp claws and fangs, mega Swampert is a muscular beast
Gens 4-6, sleek, androgynous, still badass and powerful looking but definitely not as masculine
Gens 7-9, thin, feminine, cunty, skittle squad incarnate, these starters are for the girls and the gays
Now here we are in Gen 10 and there's no more holding back. First stage and she's already got the wings and the bedroom eyes. They're putting chemicals in the water to turn the fricking Water types gay.
I'm gonna be so real with you guys. I'm gonna be 100% honest. I really don't care if writing HP fanfic or rereading the books or buying unlicensed merch actually I directly benefits Joanne. my objection first and foremost is that anyone who knows that woman's politics and still refuses to get that wand out of their ass is just an insufferable dork.
the people trying to "um actually" and give me their crybaby sob story about why it's impossible for them, personally, to move on from HP are so funny. like. I don't care. you can't appeal to emotion or logic me out of this my principled philosophical stance is that I think you suck.
good morning. what do u mean tao dian and juhuahua kiamei troublemaker cover.
men will be friends with a woman and then decide that they have to feel miserable and cucked about the fact that she doesn't wanna fuck them. it is a problem that only exists in their heads. it's because any effort spent on a woman that doesn't perform sexual/reproductive/domestic labor for them is considered to be emasculating. and we're all supposed to be ok with this? cause i'm not.
Being a lesbian named Fisher is so hard. I'm Fish. women want me. I'm scared all the time
You CANNOT do this to me
sometimes having a cool name comes at a cost
its the Fisher price
BOOS YOU VERY LOUDLY OFF THE STAGE
"theyre giving he man pronouns" is one of the funniest things ive heard recently. i cant stop thinking about it. he man. the man with a pronoun in his name. he. theyre giving he man pronouns. incredible
whenever people say canada is an unserious country or a zany joke it pisses me off and not because i feel like mocked or anything but because i find it wild rude and disrespectful to the indigenous peoples that have been harmed in this nation… genuinely nothing funny about the residential schools or the 60s scoop or the highway of tears or the forced sterilization of indigenous women
“some of your money smells like maple syrup so silly and unserious 😂” sometimes our police officers take indigenous men who are struggling with addiction and mental illness or otherwise homeless, mentally unwell, addict men and drive them far far away from the place they know into the canadian wilderness and abandon them to die from exposure to the elements. it’s called starlight tours.
What is it about yhe persephone myth that makes so many people who read it go
"What if i took this story about how young girls in greek are often times sold by their fathers into marriages without an considerations to how they or the mother feels or even the knowledge of the mother, and the small victory one mother achieved by at least still getting to see her daughter forbhalf the year. What if i tookball that, and changed it instead to where the daughter actually wanted to marry the man her father sold her to, and the mother is just a nagging bitch who can't understand that her daughter has her own wants? #feminism"
iroha has insane pull how the hell did she get 3/4 of the girls in the movie falling for her
I'll join you in celebrating platonic and familial relationships if you keep the "romance inherently makes a story worse" far away from me. I am allergic.
One reply that I get to this post is the problem is not romance, but relationships that are given the shortcut of they're in love in lieu of a well-written dynamic. Which I agree with and concede, and I want to submit the same thing happens with found family dynamics.
I call them "Bring Your Own Feelings" relationships. They're not going to sell the characters feelings for each other to you, they're counting on you projecting.
