there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 5 days 11 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 5 days 11 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 5 days 11 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Hi I'm a biologist, I study evolution & domestication. I love your dairy posting but I have to say... if hippo-cows have evolved from herbivores to carnivores - which is A LOT OF CHANGE, it's NOT an easy switch to make - they are definitely a completely distinct species from the ones farmed in other parts of the world. that being said I think a more likely solution is that they're 1) the same species, 2) also herbivores, 3) being fed meat bc it's cheaper during this awful time of war shortage, and 4) about to cause a LOT of really bad Mad Cow Disease problems in a very doomed fire nation village.

I agree with all your points. I was probably misusing the word; when I said "adaption", I didn't mean in the evolutionary sense. It's more like when you cut down a tree to try and get rid of squirrels, only for the squirrels to suddenly start burrowing into the dirt and living underground. This actually happened at my old workplace. I figured the Hippo-Cows were making do with whatever was being fed to them, so probably rotten meat. Anyways, given the Fire Nation's track record of respecting the natural world, it wouldn't be surprising if they had a Mad (Hippo-)Cow problem.

So my sister is on vacation and has sent me a photo of the store she was buying clothes in.

I'm going to lose it.

okay so spock (the alien in blue) essentially goes into heat. like literal heat like an animal. Anyway, spock’s in bloodlust in this episode and must go back to vulcan to have sex with his finace (or someone. but its supposed to be his fiance) or he’ll literally die. this is called pon farr and some backstory spock is half human and thought he wouldnt go through pon farr so he abandoned his HOT fiance to fuck around in space except oops pon farr happens so. he and kirk (in yellow getting his tits cut open, he’s also spocks captain and best friend) and their other friend mccoy go to vulcan so he can have sex with his fiance or get married or whatever so he doesn’t die. but then spock’s fiance (t’pring) is like no i dont want to marry spock i want to have him fight someone to death (which she can do) and spock at this point is fully in the ‘blood lust’ and is basically not in his right mind and doesnt get what’s happening. and t’pring picks kirk to be her ‘champion’ in the fight (her logic is that if spock dies in the fight she doesnt have to marry him and if kirk dies, spock will be so upset with her he won’t marry her anymore anyway). anyway kirk doesnt know that its a fight to the death and so he’s like of course i’ll do this fight if it’ll help spock and then he gets told it’s a fight to the death and he goes WHAT and right afterwards spock slices his titties open like in the gif. also eventually spock and kirk roll around in the sand and kirk fakes his death and THIS somehow knocks spock out of his blood lust and he goes back to the ship super sad bc he’s killed his ‘best friend’ only to discover kirk’s alive and we see one of his biggest smiles of the series (a big deal bc spock is vulcan and they dont show emotion). anyway this aired as the season opener in 1967. know your history and all that happy pride

Din: After I help you and Boba I have to go bathe in the mines on Mandalore.

Fennec: Why?

Din: Because thats where the living waters are and I have to bathe in them to become a Mandalorian again. Once my helmet was removed it made me no longer a Mando. This is how I restore my status.

Fennec: Who told you that you were no longer a Mandalorian?

Din: Another Mandalorian. But its in our rules. Once your helmet is off, you're no longer a Mandalorian.

Boba: Aren't you in possession of the dark saber?

Din: Yeah.

Boba: The blade that which won in combat, gives the weilder power over all things Mandalore? Including laws?

Din: Yeah.

Fennec: So since you are currently the ruler of Mandalore, can't you just do away with that rule?

Din: I don't think thats allowed.

Boba: Says who? You are the ruler of Mandalore and all things Mandalorian.

Din: Should I check with someone to make sure I can?

Fennec: Oh for kriffs sake. You are who you should check with!

Din: But laws, rules and creeds are set in place.

Boba: BY THE RULER OF MANDALORE!

Star Wars resources for Mandalorian stories

Worldbuilding for Mando stories! Hey cool. The key is to check out the things that seem interesting, steal what works best for your story, leave out the dumb shit, and have fun. That’s the most important part. Have fun.

I made this for me and now you get to have it too. It’s by no means exhaustive, but it’ll get you started. Remember, canon rules get broken all the time, so don’t sweat it.

When Boba made the deal for his armor, his protection extended to Din as well, not just the child. This lands with Boba looking out for Din and doing his best to get the man back on his feet. He is surprised to find that he actually wants to help Din instead of acting on obligation. There's a lot of mutual respect between the two of them, and it's fascinating that a Mandalorian seemed to make friends everywhere he went.

Not many people have Boba's respect. Feelings run deeper though he'd try to brush it off. He's protective over Din because of the deal, nothing more. (Which is bullshit because everyone, including Boba, knows that Din is 100% capable of taking care of himself.)

Then it goes deeper. Din is comfortable taking his helmet off around Boba. He's comfortable shedding his armor to allow Boba to treat his injuries. The weight of Din's trust in him doesn't go overlooked.

Boba finds his touch lingering too long. The other man doesn't seem to mind a bit, melting into a gentle touch. How long has it been since Din allowed someone else to touch him? To take care of him? His skin visibly prickles, but he never tells Boba to stop, and always comes back again.

Things get more intimate. Boba has never been a very romantically driven man, but Din is different. There was something special in the way that they softened themselves only for each other. Well, only each other save Din's love for his child.

Boba loves the feeling of Din's hands on him, the way he falls asleep to him gently tracing over the scars on his skin. They don't kiss much, but everyone feels deeply intimate. From a kiss on the temple, "Please don't stay up too late," to the solemn kiss of goodbye as Din leaves once again. Even the stolen little moments where their helmets bonked together in pseudo-kiss all had their impact.

Boba Fett is not a man of many weaknesses and certainly isn't known for having soft spots. Only someone who watched the way the danced around each other, the softened tones in their voice, the clear admiration and respect they held for one another would they be able to pick out that soft spot. Boba is incredibly soft for one man, and God help the fool that tries to exploit it.
