ATEEZ SMALL PERFUME REVIEW: THE CATALOGUE

reminder: my reviews are not serious reviews but for you to get an idea on what each fragrance smells like. I still suggest for you to do your research on what types of scents you like and what works for you. fragrances are subjective so if it works well for you, keep using them. I will not be discussing prices as it differs depending on where you live and the retailers that sell these fragrances. please read the reviews, ask for a sample and try out these fragrances before purchasing them. the list is in alphabetical order from the fragrance house if you’re wondering how I’m sorting this. all in all, I’m just a girl who likes fragrances. picture credits to all owners.

why are they called small perfume reviews? I’ve written longer perfume reviews in the past and there was just too much to write and I found that very stressful. if I’m gonna write reviews here, I’ll make it short and pretty straightforward hence the title.

SAN – ‘crazy form’ [231231]

"why does this nonsexual power dynamic sound so sexual" i have some news for you about the dominant social relationship between sex and power

[valtsv]

i am also a corrosive pervert. that's not relevant right now though.

When I see a tos star trek fic written by ai it's genuinely just ludicrous. Like, did you watch the series at all? Do you not remember that one episode where the danger of robots is not because of their ability to physically harm, but their ability to serve and make humans reliant on them - hence ending ambition and individual creativity? The whole premise of star trek is that, without passion, humanity fails.

When you write tos star trek fics using ai, you are directly proving the idea star trek had in the 1960s, for Surak's sake, that relying on a robot for everything will just destroy humanity's ability to make and express.

If James kirk knew people were doing this, he would no doubt trap them on a planet filled with ai, like he did to Harry Mudd.

Kirk, save us from ai drivel 🙏

[ebb-is-learning]

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

[homunculus-argument]

There's never a polite time, place, or way to say "ohh my fucking god you people never stop complaining about anything do you", but I think there should be.

[handmedownpocketpussy]

I feel like a lot of groups are built around hating on something mutual (work, rules, your town, government, etc) and many many people dont learn to socialise outside of talking shit

This is both exhausting and boring after the initial catharsis of bitching together so ive started asking these people, "ok so what do you like?" And a shockingly high number give me blank expressions

[abigail]

how life feels when you go alone to see a fun movie and when you leave the cinema the sun is still out

[abigail]

how life feels when you go alone to see a movie that really just hit you deeper than expected and resonated with you in some kind of way and when you leave the cinema the sun has just set

I was reading something about Whitestown, Indiana and my eyes nearly popped out of my head thinking it was one of THOSE comically racist towns. Nice to know, at least the name, wasn’t that.

[apricops]

Racisttown, named after the abolitionist Stopbeing Racist,

[flyfeline]

That's nothing. Check THIS shit out

[hotvampireadjacent]

WHAT THE HELL

[biglawbear]

George Washington Hitler and his son Dr. Gay Hitler,

This post has been getting notes for like 4 times longer than the shitty job that I was thinking about whitestown for

at this point my emoji reactions are more of a sign of my reading comprehension than anything else.

when u move out you can go to a living room and use your phone there instead of being in your bedroom. it's allowed

[anosci]

there's been plenty of pushback against youtube's plan to age-check users by using an AI to analyze everyone's watching habits, but amidst that, i spotted this playlist circulating among some teens:

(picture is a reconstruction to protect the kids identity)

interesting! they're trying to trick the AI by watching videos that have a primarily adult viewer demographic? well im a curious fella so naturally i have to take a look-see, and

[anosci]

im simultaneously amused at the perception of what kids think adults watch, fascinated that they're thinking to take these measures, and saddened that theyre forced to live in a stupid digital panopticon

adding my favorite tags / comments so far:

[teaboot]

You see I too often sat in school classes and thought “when am I ever going to need this, I’m never going to be an engineer, I’m never gonna be a scientist, I’m never gonna be a linguist” and then I grew up and it turns out a lot of bigots and cults and scams and grifts hinge their entire business model on you just. Not knowing what a protein is or some shit
