Some pen art of Charlie! So much easier to shade with pen than digital to me

Does anyone else feel, like, a weird inhibition against starting new TV shows?  Like, there are shows I want to watch but when I think about sitting down to start it something in me goes “no you can’t just do that.”  What am i waiting for?  I feel like I need to prepare?  Brain:  You have to wait.  Me:  Wait for what???  Brain:  WAIT

[yourrealitybeyondtime]

I found out recently that it’s due to not having enough emotional or mental space to process something new. Got too much going on in your own head/real life already.

[elidyce]

Me: I would like to experience this new thing.

My Brain:… no.

Me: Why not?

My Brain: Can’t do it. Not today.

Me: Whyyyyyyyy?

My Brain: Because we are processing at capacity and one more stream is going to crash the whole system. 

Me, aloud: I’m not in the mood to try (new thing) right now.

[seashells-and-bookshelves]

THIS IS A REAL THING??? ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!!?

[theeternalspace]

Wow. that explains… so much

[they-callme-ami]

No wonder I can barely start new anime or cartoons anymore.

This also can be a very common issue for people with ADHD or other conditions that cause emotional dysregulation, even if you’re not actively Going Through Something at the time. Like, the knowledge that it’s going to evoke an emotional response in you means you’re more likely to keep putting it off because you have trouble returning to an equilibrium after an emotional spike. Like, shows that I have been REALLY INTO, like SUPER INVESTED, with lots of feelings involved – I have to take breaks between new episodes of it and go back to watching things I’ve already watched before that I know how they end, and I’m prepared for the emotions that go with them, to give myself a break from the emotional spikes and exhaustion of being surprised – even pleasantly – by the media I’m watching.

Oh gdi…

[lyrslair]

It is worth noting, though, that technically at the present time we ARE all going through something (though the ADHD folks may notice we had this problem pre-pandemic as well).

Part of it for me is also I am running on such low bandwidth that I keep having to pause, rewind, and go back because my attention lapsed in the middle of trying to watch a new show.

it’s funny how we’re getting to the point in the AI lifespan where you can feel the desperation from tech companies to have you use their AI features. instagram has moved their AI effects to the top of the menu when you’re creating a post for your story, exactly where the draw/edit button used to be. gmail is creating one-click AI-generated replies right before you open up the text box. spotify put a beta AI playlist generator on the front page that looks just like a search bar so all of their users accidentally click on it when they go to search for a song.

tech companies are shaking in their boots trying to prove to shareholders that their investment in AI is worth it, to the point where they’re tricking their users into using the AI features even for a split second in order to fudge the numbers. like awww is your little environment-destroying toy not wielding the results you hoped for? so sad!

I like to think that their future relationship will still be a bit quarrelsome, because that’s the essence of their bond.

“old reliable”? yeah, great. there’s a sexy nickname.

Been an eternally since I last posted here, I’m just going to be sharing my Hazbin Hotel fanart I did for Pride Month.

This one is my favourite.

In every generation, one slayer is born… because a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago made up that rule. […] So I say we change the rule. I say my power… should be our power. From now on, every girl in the world who might be a slayer, will be a slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power. Can stand up, will stand up. Slayers, every one of us. Make your choice. Are you ready to be strong?

Every once in a while, I wish the friendship meter from the Sims was real so that way when people tell me "I used Chat-GPT" they can visually see just how much respect I just lost for them in that moment.

[berkelbites]

One time an acquaintance told me she entered Snape's star chart into chatgpt and I could physically feel that meter dropping three separate times over the course of her sentence

Discord planned to introduce age verification worldwide – and it's about to go live. | Tuta

Popular chat platform Discord plans to roll out age checks globally starting in or after June 2026, opting people into teens settings by def

[dragonmarquise]

Discord is supposedly saying this is going to affect "only 10% of users", but I really don't believe them at all. It's always going to be way worse and affect more people than what they claim.

So in case anyone needs it:

This browser-based tool can fool facial age checks using 3D avatars

After Discord announced plans to require age verification for all users, a free, HTML-based tool emerged that aims to bypass facial scans on
