I'm at a convention for the game of Go with a friend who is almost 84 years old, and he is constantly being accosted by elementary schoolers who want to play him because every year there is a prize for whoever plays a game with the biggest age difference between players.
People in the tags pointing out that this is a great way to get communities to interact: you are extremely correct. There were a lot of kids at this year's go congress (many of them extremely strong players) and it's very funny to watch them roving in packs looking for old people to challenge. At one point when my friends and I were sitting in one of the side rooms, a trio of elementary schoolers marched in and shouted "IS ANYONE HERE OVER FIFTY?"
Presumably so that they could compete for the Elder Slayer award:
reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore
If you use the excuse that you don't listen to rap cuz it's "overstimulating", but still listen to vocaloid/hyperpop/heavy metal/EMD, etc, I do not fuck with you and I think you are a repulsive, racist human being. And I especially don't care if you use your neurodivergence as an argument; at the bare minimum that is covert racism and it is on YOU at the end of the day to check your cultural biases and to think before you speak.
not to sound like the friend that's too woke but why does this police station toyset for a 5yr old need a weapons safe full of tiny toy-sized automatic rifles. just asking.
general message still true, but worth noting that last SWAT figure is definitely a third party minifig. though it's its whole own issue that there is a seemingly robust cottage industry dedicated to making war and cop (and often specifically WWII German) lego-style models and minifigs
I cannot express enough that *you don't need to do that*.
If your reason for hating AI is that you believe people should work hard "like you're some kind of protestant," I don't trust you. There are ways to be critical of AI that don't involve throwing your fellow humans under the bus.
AI didn't make you defend toil, you already had these views and values to begin with, you just had a higher bar for expressing them than an average protestant.
It is my job to build resilience and endurance skills related to literacy and writing in adolescents many of whom have been conditioned by AI to believe everything should be easy and that challenges should be avoided at all costs. My values are that without struggle and practice and doing your own hard work your brain does not develop the critical reading and civics skills necessary to be a free thinking adult in society. lock me up and send me away
We grow up and we are not paying attention because there was no luxury to feel everything that happens, the houses are empty, friends travel, and the streets that we were afraid of at night became empty during the day, a moment comes to look at yourself and then laugh at all the difficult circumstances you went through in Omar, you are supposed to live the best days of your life, then eat, sleep, plan for tomorrow and be surprised by yourself
The topic is not forgetting to forget, the luxury of memory has become a busy staircase, every time you open it, you close it, so you learn to live in the text, half an eye on tomorrow and a half an eye that is still hanging at a closed door, they ask us if you will see new colors, maybe, but the new colors hurt because they remind you of what went
The voices have changed, the names have been erased, the places have become pictures, and no one is talking about everyone, I ask now how are you?
So you reply to them, okay, because there is no word to explain that you are tired, but complete and that you are lost, but not dead
Maybe after years we talk about it quietly, not because it's light, but because we're tired, we remove it every day, so we put it on the side and continue
And so we grow up in my country and you may see us smiling at all the losses because it is an instinct in us
