Tbh I think watching Asian QL has raised my standards for queer romance in shows and stuff. Like before Not Me, Bad Buddy, Kinnporsche, even before and honestly kind of during Skam I would’ve been thrilled with implied romance bull shit and “oh their connection transcends whatever” that western shows pull, but now I’m like you know what no fuck you, your hesitance is stupid, queer romance should be more than just implied. Love stories aren’t less because they’re queer and they deserve as much fluff and writing effort as het romances

Mu Qing: Crushes are the worst.

Feng Xin: I know right? I always act stupid around mine.

Mu Qing: But you’re always acting stupid.

Feng Xin: Yeah don’t think too hard about that.

This has been driving me insane.

I used to be *good* at search. It was a whole thing - I found people's "lost songs" or their unknown-source childhood stuffed toy or whatever from Google.

Now, you can't search for the exact brand/design name of something and get accurate answers. It drives me spare on Amazon - if I search for XYZ and you don't have any, or you only have 2, tell me that.

I wouldn't mind if it said "Here are 2 XYZ. Shoppers also searched for..." Instead it'll just throw a random, barely-linked pile of results and you have to wade through every single one to see if the thing you want exists.

THIS. For ages I used to say that I had "high Google-Fu". I could find *anything* because I knew how to use strings to enhance searches. The string commands haven't even worked for well over a year or more, far before they put in this infernal (and often wrong!) AI BS on top.

I used to be able to search for recipes and easily eliminate unwanted ingredients with a -. For example I'd look for low-carb desserts but without the zillions that use peanut butter simply by searching for something like:

low carb chocolate dessert recipe -peanut

And I'd get a slew of on-point suggestions. For some time now if you do -peanut Google ignores the - and assumes you want recipes stuffed with peanuts.

Where it's even worse now is now you get directed to sites full of bogus AI recipes that don't even make sense. But they have peanuts in them.

I used to be able to use reverse image searches to find out who made that awesome art so I could give credit in my share. They've removed that ability entirely and replaced it with Lens, which is AI BS just showing you more like what you looked for. (Rebecca Watson complained about this in her recent video about JD Vance jizz cup rumours and I apologise for that sentence but...yeah. Watson is great, go find her on Youtube and subscribe because she went into detail about how Google has become less and less useful for debunking.)

This isn't just about Google inserting shopping ads instead of what you wanted to learn about. That's bad. But the results now are just *broken*. The tools we used to have to make searches better have been removed. Google no longer wants us to find the answers we seek, but the answers they want us to have, and that's super creepy and dangerous.

And the alternatives are either using Google in the back end or have other significant barriers to use.

This sucks.

Duckduckgo and all the other alternatives work this way too, now.

Verbatim search, guys!! Go to "Tools," and enable "Verbatim."

It's a pain in the ass, but it still works!

dalniente

1) yay, thank you

2) WHAT THE FUCK WHY DID THEY HIDE IT

constance-mcentee-deactivated20

They hid it because they're using the general public for AI / LLM beta testers whether we want to or not.

Reblogging again cause I tried this site last night and if you need background noise to focus this is perfect for that, I was locked the fuck in on a task. And it’s also just gorgeous to listen to

Did their families approve of LOC?

Well, yes.

Jonas Åkerlund says Øystein's parents greenlighted the script, and I suppose he is speaking the truth, because they never complained about the movie or tried to stop it, like they stopped the plane poll thing, for example.

Anders also approved of the movie. Jonas said that he was "very helpful". Idk how much he was really involved. I quoted Jonas to him and he agreed. He then said that he had three rules for Jonas-

1) Don't show the real suicide pic

2) Don't glorify suicide of my brother

3) Don't show it in the gory, splatter movie style

He told me that he cooperated well with Jonas and that he *likes* how the movie turned out. I asked him what does he think about the portrayal of Øystein's and Pelle's relationship (friendship), because it was a perfect opportunity to ask him such a thing without sounding nosy, and he said that he has nothing against it, since they were "close friends".

My feelings about LOC movie quality aside, these are cold hard facts, folks. Straight from their families, like it or not.

Been thinking about the homoerotic potential of Xianle Quartet again and I think I’ve figured out the best/funniest way for the post canon dynamic to play out: Xie Lian gets his offical harem.

And no I don’t mean Xie Lian just gets to hold hands with everyone. I think Hua Cheng who wants Gege to be happy and give him everything he wants but also genuinely believes he’s better than Feng Xin and Mu Qing starts acting like the Wife and Feng Xin and Mu Qing are Xie Lians concubines.

I think it would start with Hua Cheng giving them strictly solicited times to be with Xie Lian and then later when Xie Lian admits he feels something more about the two of them he would get real into it.

He makes it extremely clear he’s the first and most important wife in this game and they play by his rules. They deal with his times and get to see him give Xie Lian really extravagant gifts to wear when he spend time with them as well as giving him lots of love bites not to mention lots of little digs and because Fengqing are Fengqing they instantly match the energy.

The Harem games begin.

There’s so much side comments and subterfuge and of course fights to see who is the favourite while also convinced that it won’t be them because they start to notice all the beautiful things about their competitors in a really homoerotic way.

They would all start to act nice with each other when they are with of Xie Lian because they notice that he likes that and they have points to win. So there are lots of group spars and meals with a general play nice vibe to them. Until they reluctantly start to like playing nice but are also be thinking fuck these guys. These two guys are the worst people in the world.

Then of course Xie Lian goes away for a few days on a mission and they all lose it . They will literally have no one to perform for and yet they are all still being so petty and in each others business, then each others faces, and then suddenly they are all in each others bed.

Xie Lian naturally comes back to this and is delighted by this development.
