"Using an Oxford comma is a sign of AI"

bestie boo, let me fill you in on something: if you're going to take any part of 'good grammar' and randomly assign it to She's A Witch! AI, you might as well give up. It's over. You're cooked. Anyone who has spent the last decade or more learning to type properly, anyone who has spent any time writing articles/papers/essays that require you to use 'good grammar' is going to fall into that 'oh no it might be AI' trap.

Stop hunting like it's 1692. You're not going to find Goody Proctor at the ChatGPT sacrament. What you're going to do is exactly what happened back then: harming people who've done nothing wrong.

can I reblog this a million times

[s-n-arly]

I've been using Oxford commas since before the internet existed. I've been using semicolons correctly since before dial-up.

Witch hunts are not helpful here.

so as long as tumblr keeps this, here's the tumblr version of etiquette that was maintained when twitter's quote-retweets affected artist visibility/notes:

for art that someone has added reblog commentary to (or removed the caption from), reblog from the source

otherwise, avoid adding reblog comments to art (as this will affect the artist's notes/visibility)—utilize tags and replies to provide commentary (which artists will absolutely appreciate)

reblog comments are comments added to the body of a post, not the tags and not replies.

Like.. this is how I understand it- Original poster: 🖼️ (5 reblog, 2 like) Popular or Curated Reblogger: 🖼️, ↪ I love this! (50 comments, 2342 reblog, 5239 likes) Original poster: Nobody liked my work, I didn't get any comments or acknowledgment. So, what's the point of posting it? :( Maybe I will go elsewhere.

absolutely the worst part of the male helplessness fetishism is that men know about it and will weaponize it against you. they will fuck up and do stupid shit and pretend not to know how to clean a mirror or find grapes at the grocery store and then simper and giggle expecting you to think its adorable. and then they will get REALLY angry when you do not

[girlchomper]

OP(!) this should not be hidden in the tags

[petricorah]

For US.

Say no to repealing Section 230.

Say no to internet censorship.

Quick info on calling here. Doesn't take too long: https://x.com/omarsbigsister/status/1998542899915395414?s=46 [ID in alt]

[petricorah]

As of February, we still need to protect Section 230 and say no to internet censorship bills like KOSA! Please call your reps with the above quick steps!

Link + script here

And while you're at it, tell them no on the SAVE act which would cause problems in voting for anyone with a name that doesn't match their birth certificate.

i dont want a childproofed internet i am almost 30 fucking years old. give your kid an internet safety talk and stop making it the problem of every adult on the planet every time some cryptkeeper legislator gets the brilliant idea (via conservative lobbying) to push through yet another bill gutting our access to free expression + increasing the powers of the surveillance state + lining the pockets of Big Data in the name of Protecting The Kids they wont even feed. this shit is exhausting i can’t believe we’re going to be fighting about it for the rest of my life

⭐️🦌🍁When an ACTUAL exploited person tells you KOSA is bad it's time to listen! 🦌🍁⭐️

[sickficbay]

when a character is so badly hurt/sick that their demeanour switches up entirely

chatty characters pale-faced and silent

quiet and reserved characters rambling deliriously

character who always resorts to humour clearly trying to think of a quip but coming up empty

no-nonsense character so loopy that they can’t stop giggling

a stoic character’s hands trembling in panic

an easily frightened character so far out of it that they aren’t aware of what’s happening to them, much less afraid

intelligent characters who can’t think straight

protective (self-sacrificial) characters letting someone else take the fall for them because they’re too weak to object

patient characters snapping at whoever comes near

affectionate character who wants to be alone

lone wolf who begs you to stay a minute longer.

let's not buy new pokemon games together

[electric-butter-slug]

So... Just read about Nintendo's latest patent filing in the US.

I think I'm done with Pokemon for real now. Subpar games overreaching in this regard is insane. Literally looking into selling my stuff already. I'm just.

How can you patent the idea of a creature fighting next to you? This broad patent language can apply to horse riding games, RPGs where you have a party of more than 1, and so much more that I'm just not thinking of and it's all so very clearly targetted towards palworld because they're upset another game had the most minor drop in the bucket of success where pokemon has been dominating.

I don't give a fuck if you're one of the low braincell people who are peddling the MANY claims that have been debunked about the "malicious" practices of pocket pair. This is gross and has so many more potential ramifications than just palworld.

[ikindamaybewanthertositonmyface]

OOoooooh, people are theorizing that Palfarm's development might have come out during the court case with Nintendo and so Nintendo just slapped together that Pokepia game real quick just to have an excuse to sue Pocketpair even more.

And considering how crappy the Pokepia game looks compared to the high quality of Palfarm, that theory actually makes a lot of sense.

[drax-the-vampire-king]

So i just heard about the upcoming palworld crossover with ultrakill.

I have never played ultrakill. I don't know its story is or what your supposed to do in the game. But I can say right now that I want to catch whatever this thing is

Soon my pet. Soon you shall be sent to the mines.

Homeland Security uses Pokémon theme in social media post to highlight apprehensions

The Department of Homeland Security stole a page out of a famous Japanese anime in its latest social media post showing apprehensions.

United States Homeland Security is comparing catching human beings to pokemon. What timeline are we living in?

Hey Nintendo, you know what would be absolutely hilarious?

[lizluvscupcakes]

So Pokemon CAN’T sue ICE because their employees might get revenge-deported if they do.

What the fuck.

[mlembug]

completely expected outcome since the state is the one which enforces copyright through state violence in the first place

[dragonflamesoul]

Yet they're suing Palworld over bullshit 'patent infringement' on patents that shouldn't exist because prior art and common game mechanics...

So Nintendo... what the fuck are you going to do? You like suing small artists for making fanart and shutting out charities because they featured your games on their streams, but when it comes to the bigger fish suddenly you duck your head?
