AAAAA EAOOO YEOOOOWCH!!! HE/HIM, ADULT

[made-in-stardust]

Hi everyone,

My shop will be closed for a bit, and I won't be posting much for a little while due to my father passing away unexpectedly this morning.

If anyone out there has advice for dealing with the death of a parent, please send it my way. Especially any legal advice, he took care of all of the financial stuff for my family, and now we are left with a lot to deal with and don't know what to do. I am going to travel to be with my family for a bit.

If anyone would like to help cover any expenses (travel, grocery, funeral/i don't even know but they probably make you pay for so much, etc) while I am not working, please send whatever to my Venmo @rhudson83. My family does not have any emergency money to go off of and I will be covering as much as I can for them, so any support would be really and truly appreciated.

Thank you all for understanding.

Much love,

Ross

Mice in your home now get their own doors

A door is one of the things that makes a building unlike any other structure. All the doors in buildings are intended for human use, no matter which species actually enter and exit. We want to keep encouraging cross-species interactions, and give the smallest members of our communities the recognition they deserve.

Soon, you'll be able to see, smell, and hear the mice in your home, and they will be able to see, smell, and hear you in return. Each mouse will have its own door, instead of one large door intended to accommodate all visitors. And yes, you'll be able to welcome multiple mice through a single door.

If a door falls into disuse due to illness, injury, or death, another mouse will be placed into your home. You won't lose mice just because they die.

Past mice will stay in your home-- including corpses. Removing all of those would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out - stay tuned!

[hyumjim]

It's very clear that you all have strong feelings about your homes and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for their homes is one of the things that makes them special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we'll keep infesting your homes with new mice, so please stay in your homes, and do not leave.

Your presence has always been our favorite part of your home, whether you're a person or a mouse, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you'd like to discuss this change, leave a note in one of the mouse holes and we'll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to put more mice in your home.

I want you guys to know I think the phrase “beats walkin” every single day. Like whenever times get tough or when I have to make do or whatever I’m always like well. Beats walkin. It keeps me going I want it on my gravestone after I pass

[otterloreart]

ok then why didnt you

[otterloreart]

In honor of this post getting way too many notes i made this

Shes dedicated to all the people who missed the point

[otterloreart]

some people really aren't getting it so i need to clear something up, let me hold your hand through this

^^^THE SAME COMIC. THESE ARE ALL THE SAME.

[system-coded-skirmish]

some people are taking "doomed" to mean "dead". this is actually a misconception! you can be doomed even if you don't die! it's sometimes worse if you don't die!

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.

[sinnegantheworm]

here's my super-quick, easy-to-digest summary that i use when i can't spend more than like 15 seconds on it but need someone to know the basic distinctions:

generative AI - bad evil AI. chatbots, LLMs, image generators, etc. this the one that steals shit.

analytical AI - helpful medical AI. this the one that helps detect cancer early.

game "AI" - fake AI. 100% human created and dictated. this the one that determines game mob behavior n stuff.

[resemblingthegrave]

losing the battle with my own self-control so will briefly comment and say that categorizing certain types of ai as straightforwardly good and other types as "bad evil," even for the sake of summary, doesn't really hold water. just to give two counterexamples to the distinctions drawn above, large language models ("evil") are being used by human rights groups to parse huge datasets about police abuse while analytical ai ("helpful") is also the kind of ai that animates facial recognition software and the increasingly ubiquitous searchable license plate databases that police are using to stalk people. the goodness or badness of a given ai tool has less to do with its type and more to do with things like scale and scope, transparency, ownership, and contextual application.

the human body is an engineering marvel. I sneeze in bright light. if I dont get enough sunlight on my skin I get tired and sad and have to drink a lot of milk to fix it. standing too much hurts, but sitting too much also hurts. if I get a virus, my body will increase its temperature in an attempt to cook it, which also cooks my brain cells. toenails exist. I have to turn the radio down to see better when I drive. there are 17 genes dictating what my hair texture is, but it completely changes when the air is too humid. yawning is contagious. there are more species of bacteria living in my body than there are species of birds in the entire world. every few months I grievously injure my neck by "sleeping on it weird." it took seven million years of human evolution to form me, and now I'm afraid of phone calls.
