atp the only way we’re going to get out of this ai shit while people’s brains are still semi intact is to start bribing influencers and tiktokers into saying chatgpt is cringe and it emits a frequency that blocks your divine energy which can only be channeled back by reading a book and talking to your friends

[goldcrescent]

mama bears listen up: human traffickers are using chatgpt to pick out their next victims!!! Every time you use it they create a profile of you and bubs and the more you use it the easier they can track you. If you’ve ever found a brightly colored wrapper just under your car at target or walmart it means they are signaling accomplices in the area to get ready to ambush you!!!!! Mamas help me spread the word!!!!!!!!!

[goldcrescent]

different audience no problem: what kind of beta shit are you talking about brother your ancestors were in the trenches fighting wolves barehanded and shit and you need a fucking computer to tell you what to do? You’re so fucking cucked dude you gotta do shit the PRIMAL way, you let a computer think for you you might as well let it chew your food get your gains and fuck your wife get this sissy shit out of my face bro it literally lowers your sperm count

“Every Italian noble in the medieval commune era” - ENGLISH SUBTITLES

[hamletthedane]

ENGLISH SUBTITLES:

A: My lord, we have some leftover bricks. I thought we could build-

B: A tower.

A: But we’ve already built thirteen, and 57 workers died last time….

B: We talked about this already: a single rope wasn’t enough. I’ve already - mea culpa.

A: I was thinking of a differently shaped building, a shorter building.

B: Never saw a short tower.

A: A library….a hospital….

B: Never saw a tower-shaped hospital.

A: I am NOT talking about towers, my lord. We can build something else!

B: Do you know what’s bugging me: What will people think if we don’t build another tower??

A: *sighs*…..they’re going to think you’re gay?

B: Exactly! Go! Summon the surviving builders and let’s get to work!

And less anybody think this video is exaggerating the degree of rampant tower building in late medieval Bologna:

Dealing with your PTSD 101 is you can't go around using it to try and control the behavior of complete strangers

One time I was critically discussing the film Irreversible and was threatened by a former friend, told never to talk about it around them ever again. They used their history of sexual abuse as justification. Not only is that a fucking insane thing to do but I also have a history of sexual abuse. It's something I was mentioning as a part of the conversation, which was them saying anyone who ever depicts sexual violence in film should be dragged into the streets and murdered.

The Quotes

Wife: If Encanto was about white Americans, it would have been southern gothic.

Me: Yes, with songs by Johnny Cash.

[ultratangerine]

I regret to inform you that I read an Encanto retelling with white Americans.

It was set in Cali suburbia and the chapters were themed to Imagine Dragons songs.

"Hey, nice frog!"

"Thanks, it has pockets!"

Assa, colloquially known as 'pouched frogs' raise their tadpoles in pockets on their hips.

[markscherz]

I just realised how fun a tattoo of one of these frogs would be. Someone would point and go ‘hey nice frog tattoo’ and you could look them dead in the eye and go ‘thanks, it has pockets’ and then engage them in a free, five minute Learning Session™ during which you could watch a whole host of emotions play across their face.

Not really a fan of Bridgerton, but I am a fan of Nicola Coughlan's response to everyone shitting on her for being "too big" to play a love interest

[hirkyy-moved-deactivated2025071]

dont let the west impose their sinful ideas of traditional family structure onto you, every eastern european knows a traditional family is a child, their mother and their grandmother. a father being in the picture is ok as long as its occasional and a wholly negative experience, but borders on perversion.

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

Three men are in a Russian prison cell

The first man says, “I’m here because I criticized Evgeny Prigozhin”

The second man says, “I’m here because I spoke in favor of Evgeny Prigozhin”

The third man says, “I am Evgeny Prigozhin”

[teambros]

Aged like a fine Evgeny Prigozhin.

On the other hand… Evgeny Prigozhin jokes never age.

Dissociating mid-conversation

[the-perfect-wagnerite-again]

A core feature of modernity that I truly cannot stand is this automatic, knee-jerk sense of smug superiority that people (millenials especially) affect when they talk about the beliefs, practices, or thoughts of men and women who lived in the past. They are completely incapable of being sympathetic to a world that they could never experience, and instead poke fun at any difference a medieval or ancient person might have had from themselves and go "haha look at these stupid idiots, we sure know better now, don't we?" It's fucking infuriating.

[azoreaneve]

There's also this completely backwards idea that people back then were stupid and just suffered daily. Like they didn't know better? Because clearly because someone who lives in an era where reading and schooling isn't really a thing, and lived in poverty and exploration by a random noble, it just means that they cannot possibly conclude that some Things are Bad and they should Not Do them.

Yes I am talking about the corset discourse. I've had "educated" people come to me talking about how they were torture devices and that people would faint... The average woman was out there wearing one because they're just ancient bras, and they were working more labour-intensive jobs!! Just because some rich people were into waist-size competitions it doesn't mean that half the population in a country wore torture devices for funsies. People have always been able to think for themselves, and avoiding adversities is something even the basest of brained creatures can do.

Fuck, the corsets worn by working women (aka the biggest chunk of population) were probably more comfortable than the 10€ binder a teenage trans guy is gonna buy online in desperation today. At least the corsets were commonplace enough to be handed down.
