Shenanigans

Just rebloggin' and postin' whatever tickles my fancy.

there's been plenty of pushback against youtube's plan to age-check users by using an AI to analyze everyone's watching habits, but amidst that, i spotted this playlist circulating among some teens:

(picture is a reconstruction to protect the kids identity)

interesting! they're trying to trick the AI by watching videos that have a primarily adult viewer demographic? well im a curious fella so naturally i have to take a look-see, and

[anosci]

im simultaneously amused at the perception of what kids think adults watch, fascinated that they're thinking to take these measures, and saddened that theyre forced to live in a stupid digital panopticon

Did everyone consent to being there, did the dancers know their audience, were they paid (looking at the yesses) what the fuck is the problem

I don't know what it will take to break this into your gooey young hearts, but you don't stop having fun -- all forms: physical, mental, sexual, social, literarily, culturally -- as you age

You should be seeking joy and pleasure until the very instant you exhale your last mortal breath

Renounce pleasure at your own loss, I will spend none of my life force or temporal passage grieving for you or remembering you

Having worked in elder care, I can tell you exactly what this is, because I’ve seen it before:

Adults cannot accept that their elderly parents could be horny.

This is ESPECIALLY true if one of their parents has passed. Pop Pop loved Gam Gam! He can’t possibly have found a girlfriend at the home! Or, worse and more common, Gam Gam can’t possibly have found a boyfriend! This must be a sign of senility and the man is taking advantage! (No, ma’am, your mother is fully present and wheels over to Mr. Jones’s room every afternoon like clockwork. They hold hands at bingo sometimes. Please be happy for her. We are.)

All that to say, lots of residents probably loved this and their adult kids threw a stink.

i am not immune to the "character's eyes glow when they use their powers" trope

[valtsv]

i have this disease that makes me find it hot as fuck when a character's eyes glow as a warning when they're really angry or upset and about to use every last shred their power to absolutely waste the shit out of the target of their rage it's called having excellent taste

I love you shows with planned & definitive endings, I love you epilogues that prove the happy ending lasts, I love you finales that feature direct parallels to earlier seasons, I love you cast members that left years ago but came back to say goodbye, I love you well crafted & impactful final lines, I love you fitting send offs for the characters I love

Reminder that Luigi Mangione is an innocent man, and an entirely different person from The Claims Adjuster (the guy who actually killed CEO Brian Thompson)

[kyleblackpaw]

i feel like we as a digital society have forgotten the important rules of the internet

Don't feed the trolls

Never give out personal information

Anonymity is the best defense

Don't click suspicious links

Don't click popups and ads

Just because it's written doesn't mean it's true

You are responsible for your own experience

There is porn of everything, act accordingly

"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

idk if i told the full story on here but i signed up for a research study where they were testing a new opioid, and it was supposed to be up to 5 injections increasing the dose to see what people could tolerate

i got the first dose and almost immediately fainted. they had to call in a whole medical team and it was a huge fucking deal

i was kicked out of the study and got a phone call later where they were supposed to tell me what the drug was, so i could avoid it in the future. they told me it was saline water. a placebo. i fainted from the placebo effect.

anyway, it's been a few months and i just got an email from the same department asking me to be a research participant in a new study: testing the effects of open-label placebo.

open label placebo is when the subjects and the researchers all know it's a placebo. they're testing the power of my mind. my power to imagine anything.

i like to think that they chose me for this specifically based on their past experience with me. "get the guy who fainted like a little bitch boy from saline water." anyway i just submitted all my info and i'm looking forward to getting started.
