Russian; In my twenties. Had a fandom blog here years ago (now deleted). Thought i might try doing something different now. Green, Yellow and Sky Blue are best colors. " Можно вывезти человека из Тамблера, а вот Тамблер из человека не вывести никогда." - "You can get a person out of tumblr, but tumblr can never be taken out of a person." - Russian Folk Wisdom (in original "tumblr" is replaced by "villiage")

For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.

Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.

Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

90% of bullfinch photos make them look so awkward and shy. it's like taking candids of the unphotogenic friend. I would protect these puffballs with my life.

They look like they just made an awkward comment a little bit too loud and now they're hoping that no one else heard it (everyone heard it)

"i'm soooo glad that this new female character finally proved that you can be feminine and powerful! because media usually doesn’t let strong female characters be feminine!” yeah that is so crazy btw what planet do you live on and how can i get there

"95% of representation of women is about women who conform to norms of femininity?! It was 96% last year!"

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
