Me trying to explain to my 5-year-old that I will still hear him and understand him even if he speaks at a volume less than the absolute loudest sound he can possibly make:
My 5-year-old, 5 inches from my face, about to ask me for some Cheetos:
(Minus the cigarette of course)
My ears
Unless they are trying to tell you something important, then it’s between 15 and 30 dB
@kaity--did
WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS YELLING!?
It’s crazy that most people don’t realize alcohol is one of the only drugs that has fatal withdrawal like the prevalence of people thinking the answer is to dump people’s liquor into the sink to “help” them is insane
Tapping the sign.
see i think when a Final Girl kills a Slasher she should automatically inherit his mantle
the sequel should reveal that the previous movie's Final Girl is the sequel's Slasher. like a curse
wait. make it a metaphor extended allegory for transitioning
GO OFF BESTIE

was in goodwill men's clothing section earlier today and reflecting on how i feel like i flunked out of Normal Trans Guy School as a teenager in that i never wanted to use the boy's bathroom or locker room because the idea of being a very small very GNC very obviously trans guy after already being weird amongst girls seemed like hell, and while i had some men's clothing in general i found a lot of my options in that section extremely boring and didn't feel right on multiple levels.
it was just a kind of strange experience. having been out as queer since i was in 5th grade i had the experience of growing up as an out queer/trans kid, but not in a congruent "i was a girl but now i'm a boy!" kinda way. i did not do Being A Girl Well at all, not even in the aspects (like makeup) where i did genuinely try. it was very clear i would also not do Being A Boy well either. at the same time i did want gender recognition, as an androgyne (even though i was really struggling with my gender because of all the exorsexist shit i was seeing in online queer spaces around "contradictory" and "MOGAI hell" identities, which were the only ones that actually captured what its like being an androgyne) i did feel like a boy and a girl in certain ways. but not ones that were reflected back to me as socially meaningful or real.
this is just some rambling to share this experience with others, but i guess the core of this is that being nonbinary/genderqueer/gnc is a very strange experience and even within trans contexts it felt like i was doing something wrong you know? like you are a jagged piece of glass that fucks up the whole mosaic no matter where you try to squeeze yourself. there's a reason i consider myself transmasc and transfem & i feel like a lot of people who defend afab transfems/amab transmascs focus exclusively on being intersex as a reason people can feel that way, but people always seem to underestimate the experience of being nb/gq/gnc and truly being like. well i can't be the gender people expect me to be right because i can't be cis about it, i can't be the "opposite" gender" right because i can't be binary about, but also even in "accepting" spaces there is no real non-binary existence, and especially not for those of us who are actively both and not just neither. its such an experience that is hard to describe to people. anyways i actually did find some pretty clothes in the goodwill men's section by the grace of transgender god

The rise of androgyny and unisex fashion in the 1970s was apparently responsible for the introduction of a sex marker in passports.
Oh wow so me saying "no government documentation should ever include a gender marker for any reason" has been right all along. For exactly the reason I stated when people were giving me shit for not supporting x markers on documents.
for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.
Neural Nets have existed for decades and are genuinely useful. It's a form of AI that recognizes patterns, and can do stuff like identify cancer cells, tell whether an egg is fertilized or not, detect fraud, and optimize routes.
Those are Expert Systems, tuned to do exactly one thing. If you (say) ask a medical expert system a question about financial law, it's useless. The autopilot that flies a 787 has no idea how to drive a truck on the freeway. A Coulter Counter is excellent at identifying lymphocytes in a blood sample but can't predict the next card in a blackjack game.
And so on.
The problem with so-called generalized AI (AGI) is that we don't have that yet. It doesn't exist. It MIGHT some day, but AGI has been "10 years away" since the 1980s. The goals keep moving as we learn more about how people and machines process data.
But the current crop of AI techbros have been selling generative Large Language Model AI (LLM) as AGI because generative systems do a good job of faking it. There's no actual thought going on, merely the illusion of thought via predicting the next word in a sentence accurately.
If you let a human toddler listen to 800 hours of YouTube car influencer videos, that toddler might end up sounding like a car influencer. They'd parrot horsepower numbers and 0 to 60 times, mention EV range and MSRP numbers.
But they wouldn't understand any of it.
That's ChatGPT.
And yeah, it's worse than useless because it doesn't even know when it's lying or hallucinating. It just babbles convincingly until you stop it.
But for techbros to make money selling that as "AI"? It's the perfect scam, especially if you don't understand how it works.
I fucking hate it.

No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.

Let's not beat around the bush: Children's author JK Rowling sexually harassed someone. In some jurisdictions, this would count as sexual abuse. JK Rowling has committed a sex crime against a woman and fell back on the old rape apologist standby of "she was asking for it".
I hope your nostalgia is worth it
Yet another scam
This one is targeting posts with ao3 links, and it’s creating AI-generated comments to pose as someone whos read your fic and totally wants to draw something for it
I went to this blog, and their actual blog is empty but their likes are public, and they’re leaving near-identical comments at break-neck speeds on any other posts with ao3 links where
~2 minutes between each of the comments above, and an endless slew of them, all extremely ChatGPT-intoned.
If you see this or any other puppet account show up doing this, block and report.
do you have rules for penny about swearing and language like idk. when is acceptable and what is acceptable?
so funnily enough some teachers in penny's pre k just got fired for RECORDING the children trying to get them to say cuss words and a parent saw the video and flipped out (rightfully so) and Penny was like "I didn't say them because those are in the house words and you have to be four ... four times like four I think you said? to say those in the house words and that was the deal and they broke the deal and then I had to go into the baby room and those babies couldn't even talk to me"
So basically Penny knows cuss words are in the house words. And I tell her she has to be 4 times 4 because when she says "I don't know what that is!" I say "then you're definitely not 4 times 4 yet!" Lol. She's also never heard anyone in her family ever cuss AT someone, just about things so I think that helps too
We do have a significant issue with her saying Jesus CHRIST under her breath when she's surprised or irritated though 🤣
