There are different sets of rules for how the world works for attractive people and for ugly people, and neither dating advice nor mental health advice ever seems to take that into account.

French-Iranian author and illustrator Marjane Satrapi, best known for the book and film “Persopolis”, has died of "sadness", members of her
This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.
May her memory be a blessing
Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone
sam: so you killed fifty thousand people for us
cas: *looks at dean*
cas: no

Die Fußball-WM hat noch nicht mal richtig angefangen und geht mir jetzt schon auf den Sack.
It's still crazy that Anita Sarkeesian did some pretty basic Feminism 101 videos about things like "It's bad when a woman only exists in a narrative so her death can serve as a man's motivation" yet gamers act like she's some sort of Radical Feminist Satan.
And to be clear, me calling it Feminism 101 isn't a dig against her. Her videos were meant to be introductory pieces to feminist analysis and that's perfectly fine. That's what makes it crazier that people act like she killed their grandma or something.
If I made a video about how I wish Princess Peach had more agency and this made people declare me a permanent harassment target I would become the Joker. She's way stronger than me and she deserves way better.
"Queer space" as in "this space is created with the needs of queer people in mind and you should expect to encounter queerness here", not "you have to be queer enough to be allowed in"
"Queer space" as in "this space centers queerness", not "queers only"
oh god oh god the illness
Personally I hate AI because it uses slave labor, is killing the planet and is making people stupid, but that's just me. The soulless art aspect is just one little piece of my grander disdain.
wait how does AI use slave labor? Do you mean the human works that are stolen and not credited or compensated? Because technically under capitalism everything is exploited but there are varying degrees
Aside from the scraping, AI tech companies, including openAI/chatGPT, have outsourced training their models to countries in the global south, specifically Kenya in openAI's case. These workers are working in sweatshop conditions for less than 2 bucks USD per hour. I'm on mobile, but if you search 'openAI Kenya slave labor' and related keywords, you can find multiple articles about it.
Training AI takes a heavy toll on Kenyan workers, who say they earned $2 an hour to label and sift through gruesome content for American com
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

what if you combined a pressure cooker and a deep fryer and made a pressure fryer, the most dangerous kitchen implement in history
does this imply you want to heat cooking oil to past its boiling point at one atmosphere
Its real and its called a broaster.
*grabs america by the shoulders* we have got to lock the fuck in. south asia and the middle east are running goddamn circles around us. we have got to come up with a more dangerous way of cooking food now or we can kiss these quarter finals goodbye
pulling yourself up by your strap-on or whatever they say
what do u think about luke arnold mentioning that line from ti about silver being the only man flint had ever fesred? he sounded like he didn't disagree but i don't think i ever sensed that flint was AFRAID of him......
Mad. I too have definitely 100% already mentioned that line in one of my rambling sessions. "Feared Flint was of me. Feared he was, and proud" is how Silver phrases it in the book as far as I recall, and even without Black Sails, that's. What a thing to say. And when you insert the context of the show. Hm.
So. Just imagine you're a sharp, "charming", dangerous, funny, resentful, tired, middle-aged ex-sailor who makes a living keeping a tavern in Bristol. Then one day you find yourself serving as a ship's cook again (your crewmates call you Barbecue). You are perpetually in pain. Your truest and most constant companion is an irreverent and foul-mouthed parrot you chose to name Captain Flint. She is the namesake of the greatest terror of the high seas to have ever lived—a man you knew yourself and served and worked with. For less than a year. Decades ago. You are sailing now to find the treasure chest he singlehandedly killed five men to bury (he then killed another to save your life, making the tally go up to six, but that's neither here nor there). He was ruthless and cunning and full of grief and violent rage. He was famously unkind. But he was kind to you. He put his faith in you and treated you as an equal and taught you how to be. He told you of all the love he lost and all that he was fighting for. He wanted to know you. He was ready to forgive you anything. Decades ago. You still think about him all the time. These days you can only suffer remembering that he used to be proud of you, and you want people to know that. But you feel the need to say that he feared you because you betrayed him and he let you. You still can't make sense of it. You still can't look at it. You still can't accept it. But the crux of the matter is: he didn't fear you. He loved you. But you have trouble telling the two apart, for reasons you chose to keep from him. But you don't even know. You don't even know. Love is a country you know nothing about <3
