I really enjoy Alice in Borderland, but the plot armor/writing gets messy at the end of season 2 and throughout season 3.

I just realized that "butter fingers" as an insult meant having butter all over your fingers which makes everything slippery.

I previously always thought of the chocolate candy for fingers and that it just made your fingers slow, sticky (to each other), uncoordinated.

Did you know? Now circumcision causes autism. That's why girls dont get it lol.

(This is a joke. Girls are equally likely to be autistic and no, circumcision doesn't "cause" it. Actually, it is hereditary, and not something most autistic people want to be rid of!)

Being a cisgirl is objectively more expensive than being a cisboy.*

Not only do we potentially get paid less, but we also have to spend money on self-defense products *and* period management products.

* Trans-anything can be more expensive than both.

What if I just start asking people "How were you?" instead of "How are you?"

Like, five minutes ago, or just before you came into this store. How were you before you saw me?

I begrudgingly use google docs because my new computer doesnt have MS 2007, and I'm not paying a *subscription fee* for something I used to just be able to own after one purchase. But once I find a good alternative that doesn't incorporate AI, I'm leaving google too.

Also, I dont think what you're saying is really what happened to these corporations. I have a strong feeling that these places are actually dying *because of AI* and having too high prices.

I dont think the majority of artists are the people you're upset about, but every single artist and art enjoyer is being affected by this.

But thanks for coming to my post about feeling sad to make me feel like I deserve to feel sad. No artist I know nor I are the people you're mad about.

That's a really backwards and messed up way of thinking.

It's like being a doctor in the Middle Ages who treated people with food poisoning because they stole moldy bread to help them survive and now you think everyone that ever liked bread should suffer in the wake of new, fake bread.

#Perhaps I will see you again
when the sun rises in the moon
and I escape this lonely doom

I canโ€™t count the ghosts in my breath
Unspoken words linger past death

Seek me when your heart is empty
I'll still be here, sworn lamenting

And that...means AI should destroy every artist everywhere?

Because your job made you focus on the ones that got viruses for pirating stuff?

What are you even talking about? Have you met an artist? And I'm including both visual and written art (drawings and creative writing).

...are you a bot??

I think I'm in mourning for the world of art and academia before AI/LLMs.

Is this really what calculators felt like to math people?

I wish you were here.

Not the you that you are now,
but the you that you used to be.

All I have are ghosts and memories.

I used to know what calmed the soul
Once, this pain, I could console
"Found" #eludes me now
Sunken clouds consume me now

In the mist is beauty
Pray, allow my heart to see
Restless no more, I pray to be
But not at expense of "this is me."

If you don't know where you're going, any path you take will get you there. What if you decided to take every path to get you there? Would they eat you alive or let you survive? What lies on the other side?
