Hey so I recently re-watched your Vanilla Extract video and had a story to share.

One time, when I was eight or nine I went digging through the kitchen cupboards(as you do) and found a small bottle of vanilla extract. So, as a curious young autistic boy, I opened the bottle and sniffed the contents, finding that that smelled amazing. And so my little autistic brain thought, “Hey if this smells amazing, it must taste amazing too!”

And so I took a fucking swig of vanilla extract.

I have never so much as touched a bottle of vanilla extract since.

Oh no, you poor poor soul. XD

@officialandreousaccount Very wise advice, thanks!

@ironhorsefan That comic sounds familiar, but thanks for the recommendation!

I probably missed out on giving you an answer before you took your exam, I'm sorry for that. I hope you're coping well.

For anyone who is stressing about taking a test of any kind, try not to go in expecting to fail outright. Whatever you may believe about yourself, you're making self-fulfilling prophecies, and will most likely be right! If you go in thinking you'll fail, you'll definitely fail. Even if you already know you're bad at taking tests generally, if you go into it with at least the attitude of doing your best on it, you'll give yourself a way better fighting chance!

Call them AI commissioners, not AI “artists”. Because that’s what they are. They commission the AI to make art for them. They don’t do any of the actual art making process, all they do is ask an AI to make the art. I’ve commissioned art before, and I sure as hell wouldn’t call myself an artist.

“Why would you wanna get popular on Tumblr? You’re just gonna be king of the clowns.”

Does a king not still wear a crown? Does a king not still sit atop a throne? I may end up being the king of clowns, but I’d still be king nonetheless!

A lot of people’s only exposure to the internet is Daily Dose of Internet, and I envy them.

If a scientist were to actually invent a sentient A.I, they would not see it as some machine. They perceive that being as their kid.

I really love this one kind of motivational quote that is kinda hard to describe as anything other than backwards motivation. Where even though it sounds like pessimism, it’s really meant to be taken optimistically.

Some examples:

You do have limits(Find them).

You can’t do anything(Figure out what you can do).

There’s no point(Just enjoy the moment).

This doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things(Don’t worry about what goes wrong).

There’s nothing you can do(Just move on, you don’t need to fix this problem).
