hot take in a roundabout way i think that's also why so many of us opt out of becoming parents ourselves

[advanced-passenger-train]

Does anybody know how to fix it

[rosslynpaladin]

Start disappointing people and not backing out of it when they are upset, reject feeling ashamed of everything including of yourself, start saying No to things you do not want to do not just things you're scared of, do more of those things you're scared of but wish you could do, make your own plans and execute them, decide to do or not do something without basing it on who will Dislike it.

Free Will takes practice, and the chance of making someone somewhere Slightly or even Very Disappointed In You. But you're an adult and you can't be made to stand in a corner anymore.

so. i just learned that my entirely me-written resume flags as being AI-written by automated HR systems for a few writing quirks and the fact that i followed all the rules of good resume writing, which is apparently a telltale sign of AI use in this fucking hellworld. i've been desperately applying to jobs that i am massively overqualified for for months with no response, not even an interview, and now i find out that at least part of the reason is because some fucking moron decided that following the rules every career advisor has given me for a decade means i cheated and should be disqualified. the ai bubble cannot pop soon enough. what the actual fuck.

[puppygirllaika]

"frequent use of action-result sentences. bullet points all start with action verbs. no career gaps." girl what the fuck are you talking about. that's just resume writing advice being followed. i just did what i was told. it's a fucking resume. you're supposed to do all that stuff. what the fuck do you mean it looks ai generated and wouldn't pass basic detection systems?????????? for following the resume writing rules????????????

just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated.

and you aren’t stupid for having trouble articulating yourself.

Amazing site.

I discovered 27 data centers near me I did not know about, 9 of them currently under construction.

I feel like saying "Peeta fell in love with Katniss twice" disregards all the painful efforts he put into going back to being the person he was before the hijacking.

He found it withing himself to go against all the brainwashing, the painful memories, the corrupted, shiny images in his head that terrified him to his core, in order to remember who he really is and who Katniss is and why he loves her so much. And that's much more remarkable in my opinion.

He was tortured into believing lies he was never meant to oppose, but he did. He was programmed to never remember what was real again, but he did. He was convinced Katniss was evil and he should never question it, but he did.

The frustration, confusion and uncertainty he must've felt navigating through real and not real and the mental strength it takes to endure all of that and still manage to remember although he was programmed not to is the ultimate act of love and truly so admirable and fascinating.

So no, Peeta didn't fall in love with Katniss twice. That's because he refused to let his hijacked self live and get a chance to "love" her. Instead, he crawled back to who he was at his core, to the person who already loved Katniss not someone who had to learn to love her again. And he realised that the love he had then is no different from the love he has now, even after seeing Katniss's flaws. Because he was himself again. He had remembered.

"Hijacked Peeta" no longer existed anymore. There was no "Peeta before hijacking" and "Peeta after hijacking" anymore. No "Old Peeta" and "New Peeta". It was just Peeta. The Lover Boy from district 12. The boy with the bread. The baker. The painter. The one who sleeps with the windows open, always double ties his shoe laces, never takes sugar in his tea and whose favourite colour is orange. Not bright, but soft like the sunset.

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

About ten, fifteen years ago I wrote a story about a guy living in a Capitalist dystopia. His walls, furniture, and tableware are all covered in smart displays. Basically animated wallpaper. It's sold as being able to turn your room or objects into anything - A nice forest view, outer space, a fantasy realm... but the companies that run this stuff keep sneaking ads in.

It gets so bad he's always being woken up by adverts that offer insomnia cures and better bedding that play when he tries to sleep.

So he buys the ad-free tier, and it's great... for a few months. And then he starts getting adverts from 'premium partners'. So he goes up a level... and the same thing happens.

So he jailbreaks his wallpaper and sends all the ad servers to 0.0.0.0 and voila... he can sleep.

Until this SWAT team blows his door off and drag him off to jail. The Ad companies are suing him for loss of revenue for the products he' notionally have bought if he'd watched their adverts, based on some weird 'The average consumer buys X products with an average value of Y' calculation.

The judge is like 'well I dun wanna annoy the sponsors' so he RICO's this guy's house and possessions and sends him to jail.

... which is a nice relaxed non-volent offender jail for the corporately disenfranchised. But because these people have no money... there's no ads and now he's happy because the only place he's free... is in prison.

Which at the time was a bit much and now it's like: Called it.

Elon's suing companies for not advertising because he's losing revenue. He's also cranking the price of Ad Free Twitter. Disney and Amazon play adverts on their paid service when services used to be free because of the adverts... and now you have to pay to watch the adverts or go up a couple of tiers.

And google's going around freaking out about ad-blockers.

OP did it hurt when Apollo's dodgeball hit you and made you write that story?

Thinking about Rhysand who loved the human that he saw painting in his dreams while he was trapped for 50 years because she reminded him that somehow, somewhere there was still joy and safety enough to paint

Thinking about Rhysand who admired and fell a little harder for the fierce, fiery little human standing up to him on Fire Night like no one has ever dared to for years because they’re all too scared of him

Thinking about Rhysand who imagined his friend bullying him to marry that fierce, fiery human when she dared to flip him off, then throw a bone spear at the tyrant who could have had her tortured and killed

Thinking about Rhysand who would do anything to keep Feyre alive and sane in that darkest of hells, even if that meant hurting and humiliating her and probably ruining any chance he ever had, however slight, to be with her because at least she’d be alive to hate him

Thinking about Rhysand who would literally burn the world and sacrifice himself rather than betray anyone who he loves, who fought for that fierce little human who had been his light in dark places, even when he knew it was futile because he didn’t want her to die alone

Thinking about Rhysand who let her go to try and be happy because he didn’t think he deserved her, because he thought she’d be happier without a monster like him, when in reality they were everything the other ever needed
