I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

Why It's Worth Trying Even If You're Skeptical

Skepticism is fair. I had plenty. But trying SweetDream costs you an evening and might surprise you the way it surprised me. Building a companion is fun, and the first real conversation does most of the convincing.

What flips skeptics is the quality. When the chat is natural, the photos are beautiful, and the voice sounds warm, the doubts quiet down. If you're on the fence about an AI girlfriend, sweetdream.ai is a low-risk way to find out for yourself.

Trying to inflict psychic damage to a tumblr user is like trying to irradiate a cockroach, like it can be done, but the lethal dose is not safe for humans either

gomezaddamsofficial

Besides the point, but you could always try physical damage?

You’re right Gomez, bring me the flail

The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws

just like. for the crowd.

here's the sexual content guidelines saying nudity is ok

here's the bit from the termination email telling you you can make a new account as long as it doesn't break the same rule

here's the guidelines for what counts as explicit (not mature, aka grounds for content deletion)

here's the section telling us that you will always be able to respond to content getting flagged as explicit (lie)

here's the section where it says you will be notified when your accunt gets terminated, and that the appeals are reviewed by humans (both lies)

and by the way, posting a single thing against ToS isn't supposed to be grounds for deletion, (this is what the termination email is warning you about)

sharing content without content labels isn't either

tamamoland-with-a-gun

they don't even let you add content labels to reblogs of posts you didn't add content to, either. you also used to be able to manually flag your blog as mature, but now only tumblr staff can - the toggle for it in the settings doesn't even show up until staff has locked it on

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.

October 3, 1992: Sinead O’Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live singing an acapella cover of Bob Marley’s song “War”, changing some of the lyrics to include references to child abuse, and ending the performance by tearing up a photo of Pope John Paull II and saying “fight the real enemy”.

This ruined her career and she was telling the truth, as we all came to find out years later.

ambulancevsambulance

Please remember she didn’t consider it as a career ruiner.

To speak on how it “ruined” her career ignores her own feelings on it. Please acknowledge how she felt about it, instead of how you see it.

god israel's destruction of tyre is like especially depressing tbh like thats one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. people have lived there since the bronze age. there is so, so so much history and world heritage there that's being blown up and destroyed forever because its existence doesn't fit israel's nationalist vision of history.

ringthembells

lots to say about israel's politicized and propagandized use of history and archaeology to further their narrative tbh. here's a good article about it.

Weaponizing antiquities is part of Israel's colonial legacy, says Rafi Greenberg, whose colleagues have largely remained silent about Gaza's

I think over the years I’ve realized that assuming people you don’t understand are stupid by default is just like a mental shortcut to avoid having to think about why people act the way that they do.

I’ve kind of gotten tired of people doing that I guess. I used to do it, so I get it, but I’ve also figured out that you can learn a lot if you don’t assume by default that people are stupid. Almost everyone is fairly intelligent in some form or another, actually.

what-even-is-thiss

My family is full of mostly nice and empathetic people and they raised me to be kind and even they I think kind of raised me with the idea that we’re the smart ones and some people are just stupid

But over the years I’ve slowly decided to try to understand people better instead just assuming that they’re stupid.

And some people are idiots. But they’re rarely stupid.

It takes work though to think like this. Like I said, I understand the impulse to just assume that people are stupid. It’s easy. It involves a lot less research and connecting the dots and listening to people who annoy you or even people who actively dislike you.

It’s possible I have too much of an open mind sometimes but idk maybe broadening your understanding of the world and having a bit of compassion for people that you dislike is also very worth it.

what-even-is-thiss

A friend of mine basically lives under a rock and just learned about the existence of AI girlfriends and his first instinct was to assume that people who use these services are just stupid.

But it’s like. No I don’t think that they are. I think that they’re lonely and most of them are fully self aware about what they’re doing. And even if they’re not, the bad guys here are the companies profiting off of their loneliness and stealing their data. Not someone that’s so starved for human connection that they become attached to a chatbot.

And maybe pointing that out makes me a stick in the mud but I feel like I’d rather be a stick in the mud than just dismiss other peoples perspectives immediately.
