Told mom I would start annoying her by saying things like ”Alexander the great has been dead for more than 30 years” and I’m happy to report even this trial run annoyed her

Don’t use AI to write. Use childhood trauma like a real poet.

nausicaa meeting odysseus is so unbelievably funny. like the girls she’s with are justifiably terrified, running away from the strange haggard naked man stumbling toward them, but she’s been struck by the athena daze so she just kind of checks him out and invites him to her house

most miserable starving middle aged man with eyes made mad from the sea staggering toward her and she’s just twirling her hair giggling

@imoldbutimstillintothat you’re so right I forgot this is literally the miserable middle aged man website

“Emily Wilson doesn’t understand filmmaking so what does she know” do you need to be a mechanic to know if a car is broken? Do you need to be a doctor to know if someone is sick? Do movie critics (professional or otherwise) need to be filmmakers to criticize movies?

And Nolan isn’t even a classicist yet you think it’s ok that he adapts the Odyssey? Omg y’all don’t know how to criticize women normally.

The most horrifying thing about being a human is that no matter how intelligent you are or how much customer service training you have, nothing will stop you from being the idiot customer on occasion. At some point you won't read a sign or you'll misread a menu or ask the dumbest question a human has ever formed and there is nothing you can do to prevent this. It will happen. Accept it and continue on your way as one of today's dipshit customers.

I think that part of what irks me about AI being used even for "small" stuff like meme graphics (aside from all the larger problems obviously) is like.... the time spent on it was part of the humor. "this is a silly inconsequential joke but I had to stop everything and spend 5 minutes making it" was, at least for me, part of the joke. Someone really took time out of their day to make me look at something silly they took time out of their day to make. Now it's like someone took time out of my day to make me look at something no one even made. Stop wasting my time if you aren't wasting yours too.

it’s so easy to fall into the trap of thinking of the odyssey as the fantasy epic and the iliad as the realistic epic but all the fantastical things that happen in the odyssey are just as told by odysseus, a known liar, and there’s a literal ghost in the iliad. it’s way too easy to forget there’s a ghost in the iliad.
