I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like

can't format a work email? templates

don't know how to write a resume? templates

writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates

not sure how to format your citations in MLA or whatever format? citationmachine.net

summary of something you're reading for school/work? cliffnotes.com

recipe based on ingredients in your fridge? whatsintherefrigerator.com

there's a million more like, guys, we don't need AI, we never needed generative AI

not to be an american but like. air conditioning is the greatest invention of all time.

there are a lot of undiagnosed adults out there but i do think it's a shame that we've reached a point where having hobbies and interests past the age of 20 is seen as a touch of the tism. i know many older adults who suppress all their childish desires and throw out all their old toys and for what. are you scared of being 'weird' ? who give a shit.

i’m sick and tired of people pretending that burger isn’t delicious just to clown on americans. america deserves the ridicule, but why’s burger catching strays? burger did nothing wrong

Doofenshmirtz is kind of proof that you can, in fact, make one of the funniest characters out there by throwing shit at the wall.

He’s a supervillain, he’s amicably divorced, he was raised by ocelots, his evil ambitions only stretch as far as taking over the tri-state area, he’s in a romantically-coded/joked about rivalry with a sentient platypus, he’s a good dad, he once lost a fight with a potted plant, he was forced to be a lawn gnome. But most importantly, he never gives up.

Hiii hope you're doing well! Ok so I heard u wanna hear about experiences meeting cborle at Animate Columbus so here's mine

(Had to blur my face for personal reasons srry. Also my pic with him was the only one I've seen where he wasn't really smiling and I fear I may have accidentally upset him or made him uncomfy, or maybe he was just tired lol)

He was really sweet! I got to go there for a birthday gift and he even wished me happy birthday! I do theatre and I told him he's one of my biggest inspos for acting and he said he was so honored. Overall 10000/10 experience, almost died bc I didn't know what to say

AHHHH omg this is so cute!!!! I’m so glad your birthday gift was spent with an actor that inspires you!!! That’s so great to hear he was so sweet 🥹

Aww. Well obviously I wasn’t there with u and I can only speak personally of my own experiences meeting Christian, but there have been times where we were having the most lovely conversations, everything very normal and he’s happy and smiling, and then when we take a photo he looks similar to your photo or just not smiling at all, and yeah I’d worry about it too but also literally 0.1 second before the photo he was all smiles and laughing, and then 0.1 second afterwards he’d go back to smiling and laughing. and he’s done that many many times at the stage door before, and I imagine it can be draining to have a huge smile every 2 seconds for a photo op. So maybe he just wasn’t thinking about it and wanted to change it up!! Not trying to speak on behalf of him or anything cuz truly who knows, just giving my two cents on possible alternatives cuz I can relate to spiraling about worrying that I upset someone based on a tiny thing when they were probably just thinking about something else. But he seems all smiles for the second photo so that’s sweet!!!

Thank u so so much for sharing 🥹🥹

Saw your post and wanted to yell about animate Columbus! I did the photo op and when I introduced myself he went in for a handshake and said “hi I’m Christian!” (Internally I was that ‘I know this and I love you’ meme lmao) He had his arm around me for the picture and after they took it he like rubbed a little circle on my back and smiled at me and said “take care” and when I tell you my gay ass almost passed out 😭 he was so incredibly sweet and I went up to his autograph booth later where we took a selfie and we chatted a bit, apparently one of his first jobs was in my city! And I got to tell him how much I love Falsettos and he had the biggest smile 🥹

TLDR our fandom can’t relate when people say “never meet your heroes cause they’ll just disappoint you” like our man could never????

GODDDDDD THAT IS SOOOOO CUTE!!!!! Exactly perfect meme for that hahaha. That is so so so sweet omggggg. I am livvvinngggg for you haha!!! So glad you got to have this experience!!!

No exactly!!! I’ve had folks ask me if he’s mean at the stage door when he doesn’t smile in pictures and it couldn’t be further from the truth!! He’s just a reserved and respectful king. He’s such a kind man and I’m so glad he’s making folks happy at these cons 😄

Thank you so much for sharing fr 🥹

Today I was trying to chat up this girl standing with her friend at a lesbian bar and said “oh are you two together?” meaning were you friends before being next to each other at this bar and one turns to the other and goes with all the venom of a black mamba snake “I don’t know Cara, are we?” and I was like you know what? not my table

[christianborle]

anyone else wish they would get roped into a freaky friday body swap situation just for the hope that the other person will go "oh jesus fuck how do you live like this" and instantly validate your feelings of being Strange and Built Wrong.

twitter historically sucks but man this is a banger of a tweet

[christianborle]

generally speaking i think people just don't understand that propaganda does not equal the message the propaganda is trying to communicate. re the last post i reblogged: the propaganda itself is not going to be a sign that says "jews suck and we should get rid of them," the propaganda is gonna be, like.... "hey, isn't it weird that they don't take part in christmas traditions? i get they're jewish, but it's really not about religion, it's more of a community thing.....why don't they want to take part in community activities? do they think they're better than us?" and obviously the underlying theme here is a) jews are different than us good upstanding community members, and b) if they don't want to participate in our community activities, why should they be in our communities at all? and even this is less outright propaganda and more just....trap-thinking.

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

Today's high schoolers romanticizing 2016 as if there weren't the clown incidents

[christianborle]

one of the most enlightening realizations ive had was finding out that non-24 hour circadian rhythm people were a pretty large group and most of us have oddly similar cycles of usually around 28hr internal "days" and this masquerades as "insomnia" but if allowed to sleep and wake naturally we will just advance forward through time an extra 2-4 hours a day at a relatively stable pace. we can't go to school or jobs or even run errands on normal schedules without massive pharmacological and behavioral intervention. most of the people who have been diagnosed or figured it out themselves will report horrific, life-ruining disruption in their professional lives and terrible health from accrued lack of sleep. this disorder is most common in vision-impaired people which seems to suggest it's related to light cues. anyway just thinking about this as extremely loud yard work woke me up at 8am for the second day in a row
