hot take possibly? but i actually think it’s okay for things to be marketed for adults. it’s literally okay if things aren’t suitable for children. i feel like we are losing the plot
Correct. Furthermore: children bending or breaking the rules to get a peek at something that's not intended for them is a part of growing up.
is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society
hate it when you're noodling on a story and all of a sudden you're like. "oh no. I have thought of a way that I can make this stronger and more thematically coherent and impactful. but I don't like it"
So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.
Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!
Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about
It always fuck me up that older people don’t understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.
unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists
Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong
And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, it’s one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue you’re having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.
the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesn’t play. a true classic.
and! in a twist, it’s actually the most accurate depiction of archaeology across pretty much all media!
6 hour workday maximum i’m not kidding, if it can’t be done in that timeframe it doesn’t need doing.
this doesn't apply to jobs like childcare
If i worked in childcare and my 6 hours were up i would start putting babies in ziploc bags and shipping them to Turkmenistan listed as endangered fruits and vegetables
Ok but actually this exactly refers to jobs like children care, it applies to doctors, etc, because see not everyone has to have thier six hours at the same time, you can still have shifts, you can still have 24 hour stores, its just that no one will be working more than six hours.
would like to add, this also means more disabled people could work. because an 8 hour working day plus travelling just isn't feasible for a lot of us but 6 hours is far more doable, especially if the timing is flexible!
2 and 4 hours should be an option. We should also be able to work in teams. If the job requires driving and science my friend and I should be able to apply as a set where I drive and they do the sciencing.
A reminder, since Graham croaked:
You can criticize hypocrisy without making homophobic jokes or using homophobic nicknames.
And if YOU feel YOU can't, that's just a fucking skill issue.
Get good or get blocked. I got no patience for it.
Like genuinely, if I see one more person, but especially one more queer person, whipping out "Lady G" or photoshopping big tits on Graham or making the most fucking boring-ass poppers jokes, I'm gonna fucking lose it.
You can talk about the fact that it's really fucked up that his frequenting of gay sex workers was an "open secret," as was his sexuality full stop, without making jokes that boil down to "hahaha look at the faggot."
Lindsey Graham was a horrible, vicious, greedy, cowardly little man, who dedicated his life to making everyone else's lives worse.
Given aaaall that material to work with, if someone can't manage to insult his memory without resorting to crude homophobia? I have to assume that person is a crude homophobe and simply waiting for an excuse.
quarterly reminder that if i reblog something ai-generated it is 110% and always an accident and for the love of god please tell me so i can delete it from my blog
16-year-old Luo Binghe: "...and that's how I get away with tripping into Shizun's boobs during spars!"
16-year-old Hua Cheng: taking notes furiously, wistfully, and admiringly, his eyes so bright you can see almost the red one through the bandages
16-year-old Lan Wangji (silently but you can tell): I would NEVER let Wei Ying get a free win
More transmigrators magically swapping stories
Shen Qingqiu: So how old were you when you transmigrated?
Li Yu: Uhh.. 18? I think I'm 19 now, but to be honest it was kinda hard to keep track of time as a fish
Shen Qingqiu: Oh my god. You're a baby.
Li Yu: I'm married and I have four kids! How old are you, then?
Shen Qingqiu: I was 23 when I transmigrated, I believe? I've been in-universe for several years. That hack author, however, transmigrated into a baby, and now his current self is 30-something years old. Which means... Exactly how old are you, Airplane?
Shang Qinghua: I cannot emphasise how much I do not want to disclose that
Li Yu: So you're old.
Shang Qinghua: *sniffles* Yeah, I'm old.
“Gege, want to get married?”
Wait so apparently it's NOT normal to wake up and feel like a truck rolled over you several times ????
And that's NOT what people mean when they say they slept funny???????????????
Sometimes I forget people aren't multishippers then I see someone talking about how they used to ship something then got a new ship and I'm like what do you mean you aren't just collecting ships like cool rocks you see on the ground
stop saying "gen z brought back bush-era purity politics" i grew up in the bush era and even then people weren't saying that you're a sex addict for having boring marital sexual congress in the same house as your children. this is just plain unhinged
Literally almost every millennial I know has a memory of accidentally walking in on their parents or hearing their parents having sex. It's fucking normal. Human beings have sex. Your parents fuck. Get over it. Being weird about it isn't healthy.
I really loved Robert Evans’s response to this
Hey everyone, looks like the “cat summoned for jury duty” was ai generated - even has the ai symbol at the top. Thanks for the heads up, @cannot-all-throw-inkpots . My apologies- I did not realize when I shared it.
Aww dangit. Guess that makes sense, but it was so believable because I can 100% see that kind of goofup happening
Some positive news: There really WAS a cat summoned for jury duty back in 2010. Turns out the error was quickly corrected and the cat did NOT actually have to travel to the courthouse. But at least we can enjoy the fact that a papereork glitch did once try to give a cat jury duty XD
