No, app on my phone, I don't want to edit it with AI. I don't want to generate with AI. I don't want to ask the AI. I don't want to make AI wallpapers. I don't want to rewrite with AI. I don't want t-

Urgent care is a very funny name for it because they do not treat you with any urgency nor do they care

I'm going to say it. The (word in parentheses) meme is way better for tone indication than tone indicators

🤗 i dont like this emoji. this is not a hug to me. this is someone doing condescending jazz hands in my general direction when i am in need of affection. not comforting.

🫂 i love this emoji. this is a hug. we are hugging and its nice. and as a special bonus they appear to be my old friends from the msn messenger logo? very comforting.

filterable picrew database!

hey pals!! i'm working on a filterable, tagged collection of picrew i like. right now there's about 60 picrew (and other such makers such as those from neka or meiker) in there with tags for things like fashion, hair options, skin colors, specific features like horns or headscarves, and body types. you can search for multiple tags at a time and filter out tags you don't want. the whole thing is organized in a big grid of sample results from the picrew in question, so you can see the style at a glance and click it for more images and the url, but you can change the view and organization system however you like.

the link is here!!! feel free to share this wherever. i'm still going through my folders and adding more makers, so expect lots of updates real soon.

i'm hoping this makes it easier for people to find picrew that suit them and their characters, especially in cases where it's unfortunately harder to find certain features like dark skin options and fat bodies.

have fun!!!! i hope this is helpful for people!!!

A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"

"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.

"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

Fun quick way to make character pairs with a working dynamic: take a standard trope character type, then make another one that's the complete opposite in every defining way, and then make them buddies. Let's take the character trope of The Gentle Giant. Oh wow what a twist, this huge mean-looking burly guy is actually a docile sweetheart. Boring. But now consider: he's got a buddy who's real fucking tiny, aggressive and mean as shit.

Like this big looming guy is facing some tough guy who's blocking the way, looking for trouble, like "move aside and nobody gets hurt." And the other guy is scoffing like psch or what? You're gonna deck me? You might be big but I can tell you're no fighter.

And the big guy is like "no. You better move or I'm gonna sic my little buddy on you."

Honestly the potential possibility that there is even a 1% chance that a confused cis person mistakenly gets a gender surgery they'll later regret should not be a reason to make gender-affirming surgeries harder to get. Not just because trans peoples' lives should be easier, but also because I find that thought to be fucking hilarious.

Like dude how do you accidentally sign up for get-your-dick-inverted-and-your-balls-removed surgery and now you're shocked that you got your dick undone and balls removed? The fuck did you think that was gonna do. lmao fucking idiot.
