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 6 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 6 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 6 hours

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

your bookcase booth sounds so cute, i love it!! for pulling people in, you gotta do a prize wheel. super fun and easy to make cheap. just get a cheap spinner or diy one with cardboard plus fastener. sections like “free bookmark!”, “mystery sticker pack”, “book rec”, “1 free raffle entry”, or silly ones like “read the first page of a random book”. people spin after they chat with you or make a bookmark.

also mini library swap or take one leave one is perfect. set up a cute little tray or basket with gently used paperbacks. sign that says “take a book, leave a book (or a note!)” with some wrapped blind dates mixed in. it keeps things moving and gets everyone talking about what theyre reading.

Totally forgot to answer on time but we did in fact do both of your ideas dear anon thank you so much! The little free library type of stall was so loved by people, we have like 4 new members which is insane for how small of a club we are. You have so much love from all of us!

Shipping characters with Usopp is fun because Usopp has a sense of dedicated pathetic vulnerability that every other character has too much self respect to stoop to. Thus, by virtue of witnessing such vulnerability, whoever you ship him with is forced to be vulnerable in turn and expose new elements of their character they likely try to repress or hide away. It's how these character react to this new found vulnerability that allows for interesting storytelling!

IT'S STILL MAY SO I MADE IT IN TIME FOR MERMAY

[tabletimed]

if i was in mdzs id rather die than fumble that jc bag, amen.

[littlewaves]

Idk man there is something so beautiful about Aomine×Kagami, something about Kagami saving Aomine from his despair and depression, something about the fact that they're equals in everything and eachother's saving grace. They are so hurt/comfort coded let alone rivals to lovers. I just love them together🫠

[littlewaves]

I'm screaming omg that's so cool

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

[its-the-blob]

I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.

[ralfmaximus]

Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.

[littlewaves]

I cry every time I hear about Artemis man, I feel so proud to live at the same time as something like this

[littlewaves]

I've been thinking that ASOIAF and One piece fall kinda in the same category in terms of perhaps it's best they remain unfinished, both stories have such impact in their respective communities and in fandom world that them ending would leave this huge gap that can't really be filled with anything.

Also it's impossible to write something for a fan base this big that will satisfy every single one of the fans - and while yes that might be impossible in general, there are media that achieve it or something pretty close.

[littlewaves]

Just saw someone on tiktok call aomine×kagami taidai instead of aokaga and I was like :O how didn't I think of this before it's so fun

[scottbaiowulf-deactivated201805]

Male writers writing female characters:

“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”

[m1ssc0mmun1cat10n]

‘ She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards’ is the greatest fucking sentence I have ever read.

[silly-activites]

THE ORIGINAL??

[dduane]

(smh) Never thought I’d see it in the wild. Yet here it is. :)

[mysteryteacup]

I’ve seen it in the wild at least four times now. I think it keeps sneaking into my garden to drink from the bird bath.

[krasnoarmeyets]

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

Golden Core Sacrifice

MXTX wrote the golden core sacrifice the way she did for a reason!

Look, if she wanted WWX to give up his golden core for JC there were many different ways JC could have lost it, but I think this is why I never understood people who say JC never loved WWX.

By choosing to protect WWX he not only is giving a statement that he does in fact love WWX, whether that love is familial or platonic or romantic you pick, but he's putting WWX on equal ground. As someone of high birth he's giving up his life for someone "lower" than him.

I see so many arguments where people say that JC never saw WWX as nothing more than a servant but that just seems off, because would someone like JC, give up their life/golden core for a servant?

Sure ig if he's all noble like LWJ, but JC is a sect heir up until this point. He is keenly aware that people will fall on their swords if it meant protecting the heir to the sect aka him. He is meant to be a leader, a ruler, he is above his men and WWX is meant to be one of those men.

His mother tried again and again to remind JC of that. That WWX is the son of a servant, and should things go south he is meant to protect JC with his life. Even JFM reminded him of that in his last moments!! WWX life was less than that of JC, but in JC sacrificing himself he rebutted that statement.

And when I see people claim that JC is selfish and doesn't deserve WWX's sacrifice, that just ruins the point of it!! It spits on both of their sacrifices!!!

They lost their golden cores for each other, like????!!! That is what makes it such a tragedy!

JC could not bear the thought of losing WWX or worse having him killed by the wens, and WWX could not bear to see JC lose his cultivation, the thing he lived for.

And yes WWX and the whole class/debt system comes into play, but even then I can't imagine a lowly servant willingly giving up such a priceless thing. Forcibly yes, but even if it was willingly, JC wouldn't have had the reaction he did at the end of the series.

MXTX did not expand much on his thoughts in the books and we got like 3 paragraphs describing JC's pov, but it was put at the end for a reason (this ofc is not including the other adaptations). It was meant for us the viewers/readers to take a moment to reevaluate what we knew of JC and his character, (even though were given foreshadowing with the Yi city arc).

All in all this is a way of me saying I don't get it when people say JC never loved WWX.
