look if you email me about a project that uses AI you need to know that I immediately hate your fucking guts and think that your presence in my inbox is a plague, so, consider not doing that

the Australian version of this is "well I'm not a fan of pizza... but i do love being racist"

reminder that if genAI does your emails, texts, art, music, recipes, answers to questions, etc. then you don't really exist and therefore deserve no respect or attention

you are a cardboard cutout of a ghost, you're the empty silhouette of a background character in an anime; you are dust

it's a good indicator that strike action is doing something when politicians seem annoyed about it #nzpol

my fiancée really knows my exact vibes when it comes to surprise gifts

cover of a book called "Serving in Time" by Gordon Eklund; a very 1970s cover shows people from different time periods -- knights, vikings, astronauts, victorian gentlemen -- against a purple and blue background; the head of a man with a moustache and curly sideburns is off to one side

ngl chainsy has awakened something in me and i have no idea what it is; 10/10 would feel confused and die for her again

i've watched two full playthroughs of Silent Hill f and played to three endings myself so far; it's not a perfect game but it's been a long time since the VIBES of an art piece so thoroughly caught my attention

everyone should be forced to watch the credits before they're allowed to leave the movie theatre

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

my computer is a socialist resource

everyone who touches my computer is angry about how high my mouse sensitivity is, including my children; "i can't see the mouse pointer!" they say, skill issue i say

my take would be neither, as in my experience a lot of people do this sort of social exclusion without noticing (often because they are creatives who are passionate about the topic); definitely becomes rude if they do it after getting a nudge though

it should be a red flag for women if a man has been online complaining about the graphical fidelity of a Pokémon game

14. Silent Hill f! a different direction but still very silent hill, fantastic story to tell; finished once so far but i saw two other playthroughs by a friend; Hinako is an all-timer character imo; combat is... hmm. really good one-on-one but suffers A LOT in groups or narrow spaces; love this game

Silent Hill f screenshot; main character Hinako, a Japanese teen girl in a school uniform, walks down the foggy streets of a rural town

the endpoint of chatgpt and other llm chatbot interfaces is a cohort of people who don't really live so much as they are on a sort of guided tour of their own lives, who have more or less totally abdicated agency and responsibility in favor of a step by step template of how to pretend to be a person
