Nah I don’t think I have to worry about anything backfiring and if I just say hi and ask what’s up. But I mean the talking all day and into the late hours is probably understandably a thing of the past now. At least for now, in the early days of her playing house and starting a new life.

Holy shit, I was just thinking about my old online friend, who moved in with her boyfriend recently and who I haven’t heard from since. Then I saw this post straight away. It sucks. I should ask her how things are going but I’m pretty sure that friendship has to change.

Gives me Laughing Man vibes. Ghost in the Shell storyline where an incident involving a hacktivist holding a healthcare CEO hostage ends up leading to investigations and CEOs and corrupt politicians going down.

Season 3 was fucked from day 1

Kinda glad that I haven’t got that far then lol. Although one day I’d like to catch up with season 3 and Sinners of the System just for completion sake. But I’m definitely not as amped about it as I was with season 1 anymore, so I’ll get to it some time. It’s just not exactly high priority.

Just came here to say that I saw this when it was first posted but I only just got the joke now seeing it come through my feed again…

And especially if she’s really strong and swings a sword like it’s made of feathers.

I don’t actually watch a lot of anime but reading this question, my immediate answer is PSYCHO-PASS. Season 1 is a masterpiece of a story regardless of the medium IMO. Philip K. Dick tier.

Then they carried on with it instead of stopping there. The movie was ok, season 2 was meh and the villain was a bit much. And I haven’t even been able to bring myself to watch any other content from it. Not sure I’d want to because I prefer to pretend that sometimes it’s about art and not always about money and that they stopped after telling the story they wanted to tell in season 1 without turning it into a franchise.

If it’s any consolation, I can see thumbnails and images just fine in your posts using the Eternity app. Wouldn’t recommend the app though as it’s got a few issues and hasn’t been updated in almost a year. The only reason I’m still typing from it as we currently speak is extreme laziness.

Ugh, I actually get angry thinking of the couple of times I ruined a good friendship thanks to friends and people around me pulling the “oooh, you two liiike each other” bullshit and convincing me to make a move against my better judgement.

Yep, that’s what I usually do as well. If I sleep for only an hour or two, then trying to wake up and get going for the world is going to be absolute hell. So I stick it out. Although there will be moments in the day that I regret that decision.

Usually I’ll end up sleeping early that next day but every now and then, it’s like you’re almost so tired that there’s an integer overflow and you end up wide awake again. So sometimes after an all nighter, I’ll only actually end up going to sleep at like 3am the next night. Usually when I’ve got some stupid fkn pointless fixation going on, like working on a game guide or making lists of something to collect.

I love walking with earphones in for this very reason (apart from listening to music of course). Sometimes I’ll actually hear someone trying to talk to me and I’ll just ignore it and keep walking.

The difference is creativity. If a completely uncreative person and an actual artist both used AI to make something, I’m willing to put money down that the actual artist will produce something a lot more interesting and profound than the uncreative person.

Especially when you get down to the kind of people that didn’t even realise which machine was being raged against and who have zero media literacy or reading comprehension. It doesn’t matter how good the AI is, the work they produce is still going to be bottom tier crap.

:3

Reminds me of the intro to one of the WASP albums where the announcer is doing a big top circus schtick and welcoming everyone to the show. And he says “boys and girls and wild ones of all ages.”

Captain Planet’s enemies are now running the world and openly dismantling environmental protections like it’s a matter of pride to them. And half the people that grew up watching Captain Planet voted them in.

I used to use “man” in a gender neutral way a lot. Like “hey man” or “what’s up man”. Probably a '90s kid thing. But here’s the thing, it’s not about how I feel about the word. It’s about how the person getting called that word feels about it. So I’ve made a conscious effort to stop using it. It’s really not difficult to not be a selfish asshole.

These days, the only person I still say “hey man” to is my weed guy.

Yeah I often get the sense that everyone is waiting for everyone else to start posting in certain communities lol.

Yeah, best to use paper towels to soak up as much as possible and throw in the trash.

I just find it kinda weird to describe masked government agents showing up to drag people away to a prison in another country where they disappear as “stifling academic freedom”.

That’s what I learnt the origin of the word was.
