Seeing people I know and like using AI is making me understand the protagonists of those old time sci fi dystopia's.

"Oh I don't normally use AI, I just wanted it to plan my trip"

You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.

"Oh I only use it so I can figure out what to make during the week with what I have"

The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.

"I had a writing idea, so I typed a few sentences into Chat GPT and I was able to write 20 pages with it."

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

They semi-cancelled Timothee Chalamet for simply saying he found opera and ballet boring, by the way.

How does Hollywood work these days?

Being a bit of a naive, foolish young man and (wrongfully) calling opera and ballet irrelevant?

“You must apologise immediately! No Oscar for you.”

Acknowledging you stole terrified teenage girls from their bedrooms?

“Eh, you get a pass.”

Kidnapping teenage girls seems kind of worse than being stupid and uncultured, in the grand scheme of things.

”Well, Tim is dating a Kardashian sister.”

Embarrassing as it is, this other man admitted to war crimes.

One thing about reading a series that's already 13 million words is even talking about my favorite ships counts as spoilers. Like if my wife had told me her current ship when I started, I would have assumed it was a crack pairing. But she was right, it's the correct ship, it just doesn't make sense until 10 million words in

Perhaps if I make it look more like anime I can convince more people to read The Wandering Inn (inspired by Mika Pikazo)

[Image ID: A post on I believe blue sky by Heather hogan at heather hogan. The post reads:

'Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent "It's your Pride?" She told me her youngest grandchild is "not she berry or he berry but no berry." I said "Nonbinary?" She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And "Is a secret but they are my" *looks around, whispers* "favorite."

There's a reply by Lyric Rain at rain song dot cloud that reads "Not she berry or he berry but no berry".

I kind of miss the impulsivity that certain spaces used to allow. oh you want a hair cut today? hairdresser in the corner can fit you in before her 2 o’clock. tattoo of a cobra… sure leg or arm? even concerts, back when you could go to the box office thirty mins before any show. not saying these things don’t exist at all, but everything feels booked five months in advance and 10x more expensive

Looking back on 2020, I think it's hilarious that Wellerman of all shanties is the one that blew up online. It's not a song about life on the high seas or adventuring

It's the "Where the fuck is my delivery" song
