AI has made the internet so much less fun. I don't want to question whether a photo of a bunny is real. I don't want to worry about someone making a deepfake just because I posted a pic with my friends. I want to read a recipe and know that the photo is a real cake they made. Yes I know I need to touch grass but also I think I should be allowed to interact online without second-guessing whether someone fabricated every image for personal gain

btw this is about the tragedy of the commons. it's not about spending too much time online or whatever - it's about the fact that a handful of people are polluting the collective space to the detriment of everyone else, and that there is no way to stop them from doing that. it sucks and it's killing the internet, and I'm mad about that

[javascript-official]

This seems counterproductive to your goals, how are you going to get ice cream if there is no earth? Are you an idiot stupid of sorts?

[destructionfanq]

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

[podcastwizard]

lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.

The unspeakable and mortifying intimacy of driving at the exact same speed as the car in the lane next to you………what are we

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs

its crazy how we've had the art of movie lighting nailed down for like literally 100 years at this point but for some reason nobody wants to do it anymore. do people know they're still allowed to do it

I dream of a Toy Story movie where Buzz meets other toys based on the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command series. He's got a whole supporting cast just like Woody does! You can't tell me that a Mira Nova doll wouldn't be a fantastic character--the fact that Jessie's already a character would just give them the chance to develop two women with different personalities. XR can be wisecracking comic relief. Booster would be a lovable bumbler like Rex. They could fit in here!

[princesssarisa]

I like this! If Woody could meet other toys based on his franchise, why shouldn't the same be true for Buzz? It would be especially interesting too, because unlike Woody who had no awareness of his franchise or any knowledge of Jessie, Bullseye, or Stinky Pete, Buzz initially thought he was the "real" Buzz Lightyear, and he seems to have had (and possibly still has) all of the "real" Buzz's memories. So he would recognize his "old friends" if he met them in toy form.

Why is Cinderella not seen as a traditional Halloween story? In the two best-known versions, one involves pumpkins and the other involves a magic tree on a mother's grave. In both, the girl goes to a festival dressed up in a costume that helps her to claim an identity far different from her everyday one. Masked balls are not an uncommon feature of adaptations. There's potential here, is what I'm saying.

I’m not even super into Halloween, but I love this. Like just imagine a modern Cinderella story where she’s an abused stepdaughter who really wants to go to the nice local rich family’s super lavish Halloween party. They always invite every kid in their son’s grade and her stepsisters always go but they prevent her from attending and spread nasty rumors about her at school so everyone thinks she’s a weird antisocial recluse, and she’s too run down from being overworked and mentally abused by her family and believing she’s not worth much to really push back.

But whether through magical or mundane means, she gets help sneaking out of the house to attend the party, and she just wants to have a good time and a nice break pretending to be her favorite cartoon character, but she ends up super hitting it off with this nice guy who is dressed as another character from the same show. Her outfit is handmade and he’s so impressed and thinks she’s really funny and knowledgeable, and he can't never talk about these things with his school/rich friends because he’s a jock and "cartoons are for kids." And she has no idea who he is but she loves finding a fellow enthusiastic geek and they have a great time.

At midnight she realizes she needs to BOOK IT home because her stepmother will be back from a meeting, but she accidentally leaves a prop behind. The boy can’t find anyone who knows who that one girl in the nerdy costume was, but only kids from his school are allowed to attend, so she must be there somewhere. It gets out that he hit it off with a girl at the party and the stepsisters and many other girls are all trying to pretend it was them, but he always brings out the prop and asks “What show is this from? What’s it called?” And he’s asked every girl who has come forward and is about to despair of figuring it out when Cinderella walks into the classroom, sees her prop, and full-on drops her books and yelps, "My [item]!" Cue an increasingly nerdy interrogation in the hallway where she confidently answers all his questions, and asks HIM some to ensure he's the costumed guy from the party.

GASP maybe Cinderella DIDNT make her costume, maybe she had a costume she made herself and her stepsisters tore it up and she was devastated! BUT THEN, her kindly elderly neighbor sees her crying and they sit and talk and then the neighbor goes "Come with me" and they go in her basement where she has just SCADS of clothes and costumes (I had a real-life neighbor like this down my street), she has been cosplaying for decades and never throws anything away, and one of the costumes is a classic show Ella likes and it fits her perfectly!!! She promises to get it back by the end of the night, but she loses the prop and feels terrible about it, which is why she's so startled/excited to see it at school that she reacts before registering who is holding it!

MAN I want to wrote this!
