Noir but he recovered and joined the boys🥹✌️ (they don’t know he’s Noir tho, he’s just some random Earving dude for them, half burned but nothing suspicious)

It doesn't seem safe to let skinny bitches and muscle mommies go swimming. Don't they like sink super fast? It's like a liability issue. Public pools should probably have some type of BBW only rule. Just BBWs in bathing suits for as far as the eye can see. And also they should all be my girlfriends.

Tumblr is such a magical place. The mature content filter is shielding me from photos of ballgowns, but you better believe I've seen the entire uncensored ass of those hockey guys every day this week.

tragic. 37 clowns were killed today in a devastating one car pile up.

I've been seeing bits of discourse float by about western magical girl works having an overly narrow reference pool (mostly just pmmm and sailor moon), and how that leads to over-fitted derivative works that ignore the breadth and depth of the genre (with the counterpoint being that those works are influential and well regarded for a reason).

But leaving aside all the actual discussion there, I'm now amusing myself by picturing the conclusions about What Magical Girl Shows Are Like one could get to by drawing exclusively from a reference pool of a couple random shows with absolutely no broader knowledge of the cultural imprint of magical girls. Like,

person who's only seen Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Mai-Otome, and Symphogear voice: magical girls are a sort of paramilitary special forces group attached to various governments, rulers, or international organizations. They may or may not hold formal military rank, but generally operate as a detached unit separate from more conventional troops.

[booksandchainmail]

person who's only seen My-HiME and Magical Girl Raising Project: I mean, magical girl shows are just Battle Royale knockoffs

[booksandchainmail]

person who's only seen Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Ilya: kinda weird how magical girls shows are just spinoffs of explicit visual novels

[booksandchainmail]

person who's only seen Precure Full Bloom and Magilumiere: the average magical girl protagonist is a career woman in her twenties

if i ever become a showrunner i will actually do the fake series finalle followed by the true ending where the popular gay ship is confirmed just so i can forever poison fandom with the idea that it can happen for real and then they will truly never let that hope go for all other subsequent shows they watch henceforth. just for the sake of making the world a worse place

[z3ncat]

You have to make sure to let it slip in interviews that you did this because you're fulfilling the dream of your unnamed mentor(s), former showrunner(s) of an unnamed beloved series, who had also filmed a gay true ending actual final episode but hadn't been allowed to release it or even mention it.

If a knight wanted to swear to me I'd make them do a full grocery run two weeks in a row for me and do a bunch of housework. Not only to keep them humble but I know as a knight you'd draw your blade for me but can you

Run my estate? (Attention to detail)

Acquire the exact reagents I need? (Follow clear instructions)

Supervise and instruct my other minions in their tasks?

Prove you'll set aside anything else in my service?

These fakeass knights out here thinking I merely need a person holding a sword. If that were true I'd just make more homunculi and give them weapons. Or go recruit those pesky ogres

“Tumblr age verification will not be needed,” tumblr staff states upon confirming every single blog on the site is more than 10 years old.

“If you were literate enough to be posting about Johnlock in 2015 we can kind of just assume you’re good,” staff elaborated even though we did not ask them to.

mythbusters was so good because it wasn't a killjoy show. they didn't just say "see, it doesn't work" and leave it there

whenever they find that the stunt doesn't work as portrayed in the movie, they immediately ask "what would it take to make this happen?"

[disclaymore-deactivated20230920]

“we know it takes this amount of explosives to work, but what if we doubled it anyway?”

Some myths I'll always remember:

* Are elephants scared of mice? (They only did that because they were in Africa and had access to elephants.)

* Will a bull run amok in a china shop?

* Is it better to run zig-zag or straight when chased by an alligator?

I love these because NONE of them turned out the way they expected. They went into all three with pre-conceived ideas of how it would go, and each time they "failed." Elephants WILL cower from mice. A bull moves very gingerly through a china shop. It doesn't matter how you run because ALLIGATORS WON'T CHASE YOU.

And each time, they reacted with just... pure glee. "Holy shit, we were wrong! Oh my god! This is great! We were so wrong!"

And that, to me, is what science is. Being excited about being wrong because either way it's information.

Those of you lucky enough to not experience ChatGPT writing on a regular basis might not be aware of its tells. (See: Recent post that went viral on this website, with 1000s of people talking about how well-written it was and OP doubling down on how it couldn’t possibly be AI, despite it being one of the most obviously AI-generated posts I have ever read. Yikes.)

This article (archive link from NYT) offers a great explainer of ChatGPT/LLM writing tells. If you visit the post I linked above you will see that I listed out the exact same tells. That’s because they really are ubiquitous in AI writing. These tells are 99% of what you need to recognize AI slop writing in any context.

I encourage everyone to read this article! It is worth knowing when you’re reading AI slop! It is worth knowing that government leaders are using AI for everything from their tweets to their fucking Parliament speeches! It is worth knowing just how much of the writing you see everywhere is AI right now! Especially if it means you don’t fawn over egregiously bad Linkedin AI slop who said that.

Anyway, really good and informative read.

turning point usa is kinda performance art like lets consider that the other founder died from covid in 2020.

[geminisee]

>two people start a conservative organization to push covid conspiracies and pro-gun ideals (among other things)

>one dies of covid

>the other dies of gun violence

it’s so on the nose that it’s actually cliché

*aborted baby voice* I would've been the third founding member of TPUSA... if you'd kept me...

i'm having a bad day. someone is going to die today (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) and it's not going to be me. (gets scared someone will report me to the police) people around the world die of natural causes every day. (remembers i want people to think i'm smart) and i know who it's going to be (remembers i want to retain an air of mystery) but i'm not telling.
