20 Years ago Sony flung 250,000 bouncy balls down a San Francisco street to advertise the Bravia

They fired volleys of them from air cannons and caused tens of thousands of dollars in property damage!

'Early'. Evgeny Lushpin. 2019.

Thinking about how narrow ships corridors would be in sci Fi.

Obviously sword fights are the answer to combat but specifically shields and spears.

Space Vikings. Raiders and shit. Thinking also about Zorro and the flamboyance of the saber work in those movies and so obviously my thoughts are. Lesbian zorro + brawling Viking shield maiden in space enemies to lovers.

Obviously. Coming soon.

Everclear is what we have instead of universal healthcare.

love getting a queer clothing ad and they're selling booty shorts that say "this pussy's nonbinary too" and a jockstrap that says "faggot" all over it. so like. can a penis be nonbinary or.......

[mousidy]

out of curiosity I looked through their entire (very large) collection of booty shorts and there was a lot of "faggot" and "alpha male" and "he him hole" and a lot of pussy puns... but don't worry! they didn't forget trans women transgirls! 😃

[mousidy]

a trans woman cannot embody or own her desirability. it can only be granted to her by others

[mousidy]

sex positivity is for cis women, it's for "faggots," it's for trans men, and it's for nonbinary people if they're TME, but it's not for trans women. sexual liberation is for other people. we must let others sexualize us, but we can never sexualize ourselves. you know I think there's a word for this I've heard somewhere.... something like "lisogyny"?

This tweet read me to filth

[the-lonely-knight]

What if when we were traveling through the lands between I saw how weary your step was and insisted we make camp and despite your protestations I took watch for the night and helped you climb out of your armor and took off your helmet so that you could sleep comfortably not on the hard ground but leaned against my shoulder and when your dreams turned to nightmares of what we have seen I tucked your head into the crook of my neck so you could know that you were not fighting an eternal battle but resting somewhere warm and safe.

What then, tarnished? Would you know that I keep the memory of you beside me closer than a blade?

There’s something hilarious about how these mods were made by the same user

[audemus-n7]

Hi - I run the modding community discord so I can offer some insight into this. There’s actually 3 reasons why Scottina made this mod for LE:

1. As the person who removed them originally, he knew best how to add them back in, so he decided since it was going to be inevitably made by someone, it might as well be done properly.

2. All the DP for this mod goes back into the Mass Effect Modding Workshop, which is our shared community account. So every download for this mod actually goes to support the modding community’s efforts - essentially we turned the horny men into a weirdly inadvertent force for good?

3. He (and we in the workshop) thought it would be hilarious if he was the person who both removed them + added them back in. So that the karma effectively cancels itself out.

We also made a decoy mod to troll people (it adds fart noises during the butt shots).

[flame2ashes]

Thank you for the insight. Please send my regards to the modding community and also tell them they are some of the funniest people on Nexus Mods right now

having a best friend who meets your level of freak is unmatched. you present them with the most unhinged, deeply buried thought from the depths of your psyche and instead of blinking blankly they just go "oh absolutely"—and I think that mutual brain rot like that is the highest form of intimacy actually.

I think the thing that annoys me most about AI on a personal, day to day, level is what it has done to grammar checkers. If you've never done a lot of editing, or used to 5+ years ago but haven't really in the last couple years, I can't even begin to describe how fucking BAD this shit has gotten. And as an author it is EXHAUSTING.

I just want to catch spelling errors and accidental double spaces and repeated phrases and whenever I use the wrong too/to or affect/effect and shit. But no. They've shoved AI up the ass of every grammar checking software out there and now they all fucking suck and make the most random, obnoxious, nonsensical suggestions.

And yeah, I can ignore all the times it's trying to get me to cut out any semblance of my own voice, or shove things into the wrong tense, or make the most random suggestions on comma usage. But if it's getting all that WRONG, what is it just straight up missing that I SHOULD be correcting? What real spelling and grammar errors are still lurking in there?

"Use Libre Office."

I get why people keep saying this (and other versions of it like "Use Adobe alternatives" and "Use Google product alternatives."). But here's the problem: I do not create in isolation. Even my own 100% personal projects are getting sent to other people whether it's editors or printers or beta readers and unless every single person in that train is using the same products, things can get wonky.

Libre Office and Word handle formatting differently on the back end, which can completely break documents if you move them back and forth between the two. So if I write in Libre Office but my beta readers are still using Word, when I send them a manuscript for review there's a good chance things won't look right and my beta reader will not actually be reviewing what I sent them.

Industry standards are industry standards FOR A REASON. Having everyone on the same workflow can be crucial to getting things done effectively and correctly without creating a lot of extra work. And those things are not going to change overnight, as much as we might want them to.

Yeah, Word, let me just leave this whole chunk of dialogue without the closing quotation marks. That's the thing to do. How dare I have two punctuation marks in a row. It's not like that's how closing quotation marks fucking work.

I am going to light something on fire.

And you know, for young writers, this has got to be so detrimental just from the perspective of opening your document and seeing a million corrections that, frankly, don't need to be there. If you're a young writer you're likely not going to have the background knowledge to know what is and isn't a good suggestion, you're just going to see a document that makes it look like you made every mistake possible so clearly you must be a terrible, stupid writer and should just give up.
