Out of all the persona charts, I think it is quite a shame that Neptune and Saturn are rarely touched upon - especially Saturn.

re: the excerpts you just posted, may i ask what program you use to write in... it looks really easy on the eyes

libreoffice!!!!!!!!! you can customise the colours of the workspace (i make it all low contrast grey but you can pick whatever). i'm a libre shill i recommend it to everyone as a ms word/excel/etc replacement. it's free and open source and has a UI similar to pre-2010 MS office (before they introduced the bastard ribbon)

I do think that the current, general understanding of femmes fatales leans a bit too much on the "pew pew pew gun murder" part of that (rather broad, now) archetype and I can't really complain about it, but for me what really makes a femme fatale is

lying

to get people (especially men) to do things they wouldn't do otherwise

might personally resort to violence if out of options but generally doesn't (other people are doing the physical violence, that's the point)

men tend to find her incredibly alluring but how much of it is something she strives for and how much of it is them projecting?

trapped by the narrative

pretty much everything else is secondary.

gonna make her out of wooden cubes

also i changed the skirt but i have no photos of it

i acknowledge jira's usefulness as a tool. however, when using it as a one size fits all solution to organize every piece of information about a project, it becomes, shall we say, completely fucked,

"yeah lemme use jira to track our weld and inspection plan for, uh, several thousand unique weld operations" <- sentences uttered by someone who belongs in the hague

i'm not even mad at like the interface exactly (though it is terrible), but also the fact that it loads so sluggishly. one of the most unresponsive UX experiences of my life

it drives me absolutely insane that people don’t realize the americas have been populated for over 20k years. like, i’m sorry. every professional, accomplished paleontologist and archaeologist i’ve taken a class from or spoken to treats this as a fact.

but for some reason, laypeople and the public in general refuse to accept it?? every time i see something about those footprints found in white sands, there are random ass ppl talking about the lack of evidence. when there is so much evidence. everywhere!! the gault site in TX is smthn i like to point out. not to mention the countless mammoth kill sites dating to over 15k years ago.

so you heard it from housecow here—the peopling of the americas is NOT as divisive as you’ve been led to believe and it is well known ppl have been here for over 20k years. its the methods of how and why that people are still trying to figure out

If you are blanketly anti AI I want you to know it's joever and that STEM faculty at universities are now grading on the appropriate use of AI and the ability to assess how trustworthy it can be in particular and general applications and how appropriate it's use is in a given problem space. More and more it is seen as Excel 2.0 with the benefit of doing shit engineers hate (writing for laypeople and making pretty images) but which are essential to revenue generation

I Love throwing arle and diluc at each other. yes let diluc be a child of the hearth. yes let him grow up under her and be indebted to her and shaped into something that suits her needs. he's loyal enough. you just need to show him the right mix of kindness and faith and strict discipline and he will be your loyal soldier until he dies. they're so funny.

[puckpocketed]

just endlessly amused by the director of analytics for the habs being deemed a jock-to-nerd interpreter by his tech guy on an analytics panel. hell yeah bruther thats your Director he rearranges the beautiful signs and symbols and gives them to the coach in a way that wont cause you all to be thrown out . these conversations must be mediated by someone who can understand jockspeak AND number

[coldpintglass]

Is this a safe space to be hater? Can I be a hater this fine Tuesday afternoon? Will you, my brethren, my nearest and dearest, join me in my hating?

i think also a huge part of why artists majorly refuse machine-learning (bc that’s what it is, i refuse to call it ai bc it’s inaccurate and gives tech bros too much credit) is that the people currently championing and developing those tools actively want it to replace artists. They loudly and proudly hate the arts and want every creative professional put out of work. They want every creative HOBBYIST to give up. I have seen machine-learning art generators call us artoids (like ‘femoids’ incels or unhealthily online misogynists use to refer to women. To give you the idea of the kind of hate-fueled superiority we’re dealing with) and circle-jerk to the idea of art no longer being a career and no one being able to ask for commissions anymore.

Machine-learning tools are currently a symbol of people who see creativity and art as an enemy, a boogeyman to be slain. They are designed accordingly - stealing human work to create the data, designing it so that people can generate ‘sketches’ or ‘doodles’ to deceive the layman that it was hand-drawn, using real-world likenesses without consent, etc. When tech bros get tired of weaponizing machine-learning because they think we need to get ‘real jobs’ or that furry porn artists charge too much for comms and need to be stopped, it will probably be a lot easier for artists to embrace it as it’ll be a lot easier to develop ethical tools. On top of making development easier, it could become a great tool to make the visual arts accessible for people that have disabilities affecting drawing ability. It could be a wonderful technology.

But as it stands we’re not there yet.

WHATTTT.... ARTOIDS 💀.............................. that is THE most cringe fucking word ever im gonna start calling them fucking inceloids or something

Arent these the people who also have hentai addictions and collect all sorts of images of anime women breasting boobily? Do they think before AI that those images just popped up from the aether? They should also get real jobs that arent living in their moms basements and being a hateful little bitch

It's kind of hilarious that they think machine learning models will be the the end of art though. As if art hasnt been a core human function from prehistoric age and as if it hasnt survived hundreds of purges, demonizations, and attempts to erase certain styles and movements and people. We're going to prevail no matter what and they can die mad about it

After running Dead Beats a couple of times and dealing with the ever-changing numbers during combat, I wanted to make an Excel sheet with a bit of autofill and reminders for my own benefit.

Now I'm looking at it, and trying to get the stuff to work and I question whether I am better off trying to relearn Python and make a little widget for that instead.

How hard could it be?

[purplerebel101]

I finished the prologue!

I have just finished fleshing and writing out the Stobotnik POTO AU fanfic prologue! (it's currently 10pm, hence the face down Freddy with a thumbs up GIF)

It takes place in the future from when the main story is set (which I will likely not make clear what century cause...i dunno).

Anyway, I'll get to editing and then I'll start writing up chapter 1. Once done, I'll be posting BOTH on A03.

Stay tunned✌️
