I see we’ve reached the “blame your failures on communist subterfuge” phase of the AI business plan

I wrote 2 bullet points with like 4-6 total sentences explaining to someone why using AI to make the slop they just posted was bad. Their response: "It's ironic that you used AI to write that."

I've never felt so insulted.

To be fair, I think this is a problem that has existed in some form for a while.

In one of the first college classes I took, I asked a writing tutor to read over a short story I wrote that was set in prehistoric Scotland, to be sure I hadn't missed any spelling errors in my editing.

She accused me of plagiarizing a textbook because the worldbuilding details felt too realistic.

Thankfully, she believed me when I told her that no, I made all that up. But GOSH, 17-year-old me was TERRIFIED of getting in trouble for basically just doing my best on the assignment.

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

Iranians wave the lion and sun flag in the stadium despite unjust fifa bans

FIFA buddy you really chose the wrong people to mess with lol

[wyf-of-bathe]

Yeah, I didn't see any on tv but apparently there are some in the stadium.

Pre-revolutionary flags spotted, anthem booed at Iran’s World Cup opener

Iran kicked off its World Cup against New Zealand on Monday night.

[insert-some-url]

Fifa being the pos it is directly ordered camera operators to dodge any lion and sun flags

[wyf-of-bathe]

[stele3]

They do this with Taiwanese flags, too.

[prismatic-bell]

I'm curious. What is their stance on Palestinian flags?

Because if they're banning them all they're shitty but at least consistent. But if one of them is allowed, and the others are banned, that is certainly a choice.

[insert-some-url]

The palestinian flag is allowed as far as I know. Some regime fans had them

Which further proves the shittiness of fifa

call me cray-cray but I think if you find out your beloved is infertile, the proper response is "well that is devastating but we can always adopt" rather than "guess we should call off the engagement"

[rabbits-of-negative-euphoria]

woke-right men and woke-left women love to pontificate about marriage, but they always subtract love from the equation

I think a lot about who I am to other people in the world–particular who I am to strangers as a mere concept in their lives.

Today this woman called our information desk and said, “my son’s band is playing tonight. I want to come see him, but he never answers his phone…..I want to be there. Have you heard anything about his band?”

And I felt so bad for this lady but I’m not in the music scene around here so I had to tell her no, sorry.

Five hours later, I’m hiking and run into a group of guys setting up for some outdoor performance, and as I watch them unload the drums it hits me.

“Hey,” I said, “are y’all in a band?”

They said yeah and smiled and I told them “one of your moms called today. She wants to watch you play, but she can’t get a hold of you. Call your mom.”

And they all pulled out their phones and started discussing whose mom it probably was as they presumably dialed their own.

And now, unless we meet again and recognize each other, that’s who I’ll be forever to those guys–some mysterious courier for mom-messages who came out of the woods and told them their mom called.

I didn’t even tell them why their mom called me. Who am I to their mom?? Nobody even asked. They just took my word for it and called their mothers.

Amazing.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

I’M LAUGHING!!! THEY DIDN’T EVEN ASK WHO I AM.

It's been a minute, so I want to do a quick follower maturity check:

What was the last movie for adults* that you watched, and when did you watch it?

*not necessarily r-rated, a lot of r-rated movies are really for teens.

[couldtransitionsaveher]

Sorry about this. Someone I know at work called Superman 2025 adult fiction and I just about broke out into hives.
