Humans are funny. Every single generation they go "OH SHIT OH FUCK BREAKING NEWS. TEENAGERS ARE CLUELESS AND CONFUSED DUMBASSES WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GROW UP INTO ADULTS CAPABLE OF FUNCTIONING IN SOCIETY, WE ARE ALL FUCKING DOOMED", and if someone points out that hold on, don't you have that panic every single generation, starting at latest at the dawn of agriculture, and it's always turned out to be false?

"YES BUT WHAT IF THIS TIME IT'S FOR REAL FOR REAL."

what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

always kind of funny when you wake up from a dream and your first thought is "that symbolism was kind of heavy-handed wasn't it."

Too many rich people buying medieval castles and then renovating the interior to look like a completely normal 21st century house. Sorry but if you're going to live in a castle you need to commit to the bit. If I lived in a castle I would restore it just enough to be barely liveable and pretend I was a poor but prideful nobleman in his crumbling estate, still clinging to the last vestiges of his family's fading name.

Do you want to be politically pure in theory or help your neighbor. Is it fruitless to help your neighbor because there's no Perfect Pure way to do it ?
