Oh... so that's where that mitochondria stuff in high school AU comes from. From America

I'm just thinking about the chaos that can ensue due to Damian's years of tutoring clashing with the usual American schooling system from the other bats. Not from the material though, from the culture.

Like all the other bat children have gone through at least a few years of American High School: Dick after Bruce takes him in, Jason in the years where Bruce puts him in school before he died, Tim before he said Fuck This Noise and dropped out. But Damian?

Sure he knows all the material, is way beyond most of the material honestly, but that's not the point. The point is that Damain hasn't yet gotten indoctrinated traumatised used to the American Education System.

Observe:

Damian: What is with their constant insistence on the most inconsequential things? What is so important about- about a mitochondria?? Dick, Jason, and Tim at the same time: The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Damian: wtf??

not looking to pick fights so I'm not rb-ing but it's not parasocial to interact with an ao3 author and to respond to what they say in author notes or comments, that's just being social

ao3 authors aren't content creators, that's a real person sans public persona just sharing a cool thing they made

[jiminypanda713]

thanks for the comments and asks saying i'm being mean for very mildly saying i don't like when people make social decisions based on horoscopes.

your behavior has made me realize i should be "meaner": horoscopes are fake.

the position of planets and balls of gas did not in any way impact your personality or destiny. it has nothing to do with what kind of people you are compatible with, despite what an app or magazine told you.

i think sincere belief in horoscopes shows a concerning propensity to trust pseudoscience and a susceptibility to confirmation bias.

i'm pretty tired of having to tiptoe around this kind of thing and include disclaimers. if you genuinely think you shouldn't be friends with someone because of the date they came out of a uterus, you're being a clown.

This whole thing about scanning your face to prove tour age is making me remember, in 2018 while out in paris we got our wallet stolen during a particularly busy night at a lesbian bar. It was very late and with no money to buy metro tickets we were effectively stranded, but some people helped us and we ended up staying the night at a really sweet older man's place. His face was deeply scarred and he was missing an eye. We chatted on our way and he told me about his life, probably to help calm me down. He explained he had been stuck in a house fire 20 years ago and had had multiple rounds of facial reconstruction and a skin graft, but there's only so much surgery can do so he just learned to live with it. I remember he said he liked the queer bars because they're the only place people don't really stare at him.

At some point I took out my phone, and at the time I was using face unlock. This prompted him to tell me all the ways this technology doesn't work on him. How his phone selfie camera doesn't focus right because it's not detecting a face. How he had to update his ID the old fashioned way, because the website kept rejecting his photos. And how it was becoming more and more common, and how it was making his life way harder.

This was 7 years ago, and now whenever I see this sort of technology I think of how that guy can't use it. And how house fires are pretty common, and how anything from being born this way to a skin condition to heavy tattooing can probably cause the same issue. Can these people get age verified ? Will they just lose access to all social media, which are increasingly necessary in society, if this becomes the norm ? These are people who are already driven out of public spaces due to how they look, and they're getting pushed out online too all in the interest of companies wanting more money.

Yeah... that's a really interesting question, but of course I don't know the answer.

A reminder that it was only Fester, the legit insane Addams, that remembered Things birthday and sent him a gift from far away

And the Addams family was at Nevermore too 💔

He was so sad, he got drunk alone😭😭😭

I like all this crossover propaganda between Epic, Heathers, and Hamilton.

the only reliable, effective way of "protecting children" is education. but people don't want to hear that because they don't actually care about protecting children, they care about protecting a mythologised ideal of innocence

[jiminypanda713]

the term “ai fanfiction/fanart” is such an oxymoron because AI cannot be a fan. it’s not involved in fandom spaces, it has no passion nor sentimental preference, it doesn’t dream about its beloved blorbo, nor can it be horny for their fave. it’s just a button click for fake creators that’ll steal stuff. hence “ai fan-xyz” and ai `art´ do not exist

best typo ive ever made i think

reblog if you feep stupid

[jiminypanda713]

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn

I think this is the best EAH characters quote in my chatfic so far:

It's in chapter 11, if anyone is interested...

Monster high is such a comparatively normal school like wdym Franky isn’t forced to kill three people because of a prophesied cycle of violence

The extent to which people seem to think predators work on "swiper no swiping" rules is baffling and upsetting. It's based around the idea it's somehow impossible for people to lie. The "if you're a cop you have to tell me!" of safety comprehension.

"this will keep kids safe because you aren't allowed to message them if you're an adult!"

Ok but you select what age you are in the set up, right? So you can just select "minor" and message whoever you want. AND it means that every minor is clearly labeled by who you can and can't message on an adult account.

So you haven't prevented adults from messaging kids, you've just made it so they can instantly tell who to target.

"then everyone should have to provide proof of their age!"

You want me to give my birth certificate to some online game? You want a child to upload their personal information and important documents online?? If you can't understand why that isn't safe I don't know if I can help you.

And like, what if I was a parent who wanted to play a game with their kids? Sorry kiddo it's not safe, go back to playing with your friend "definitely_a_child420".

Loudly saying "you're not allowed to be a predator!" is not a safety precaution. You have to actually teach children to recognize and avoid danger.

Are we going to talk about the fact that this CAT eats DOG food?

[jiminypanda713]

may be a hot take but i think the fact minors can access 18+ content by just clicking a button that says 'yes im totally over 18 trust me' is like. totally fine tbh. its a non-issue. i dont care if curious teenagers are looking at porn. they've been doing that for as long as porn has existed. id rather teens explore their sexuality through images on the internet than rush into real life experiences when they're not ready for it yknow. the UK is trying to put stricter age verification in place (which in turn is becoming an online privacy nightmare) and like. for what. who is it helping. why is this a problem.

I would like to read it if it's exist

other kpop groups find huntrix weird.

sure huntrix does collaborations with other groups, goes to the same events, guest star on the same variety shows, etc. but there’s always a *mysterious* vibe to them. one minute, the three girls are on different corners of the green room talking to a variety of different idols. the next minute, they’re making the flimsiest of excuses and rushing out the door, not one of them had even looked down at their phone. or the fact that they cleared a 10 person feast by themselves but seem to have such a normal/almost light workout routine compared to everyone else’s, but idols can see close up that the girls are more ripped then they let on. or that they never mention who does their special effects, and yet huntrix is the group best known for it.

everyone knows that how idol groups present themselves to their audience is different from who they are behind the camera, but even other kpop groups can see they’re missing the full picture. and its not like other groups hate them. no, they love to celebrate huntrix’s wins as much as their own… they just find them strange, that’s all.

this is the funniest scp and yet i've never seen anyone posting about it:
