I don't know how I could live without these boys.

A life without them would be so empty.

Something down that staircase is making Ford scared, and Stan will have none of it. He takes a deep breath. He adjusts the Axolotl in his arms so it rests more securely, and does what he's always done, what his job has been, since childhood.   He goes first. … Ford starts to follow.

words honestly kind of failed me by the time I read this and I wrote and rewrote my comment at least 3 times (and it got deleted at least once by itself which was tragic), so I decided I absolutely needed to express myself somehow. So behold. Woe be upon ye

Looking back on Milchick being expected to be grateful for those Blackface portraits of Kier as a reward for all the hard work and long hours he put in knowing that Harmony was given a bust of Kier and a platitude about seeing God in her along with what amounts to a middle manager position in the company which she was then fired from (+ a warning about never seeking credit for the work she did while the man who stole it is given nothing but credit and acclaim but of course the knowledge is for all and you're overestimating your contributions) and thinking about Milchick repeating again and again and again to himself that he needs to let go of childish things and grow up, grow up, grow, and Harmony's ten hour shifts in the factory at eight years old and Why Are You A Child Ms. Huang and she's a child "Because of when [she] was born" but that's it <- You must abandon childish things. You must Grow Up. And the fact that the Wintertide Fellowship is implied to be something you are selected for, plucked from the factory (I see Kier in you) and given the opportunity of working in an office instead of toiling away in obscurity and you should be Honored by this and this should be Enough for you and if it doesn't feel that way - if you feel unappreciated or humiliated or that malicious urge to demand ANYTHING from the Company, the Eagans, Kier, perhaps you should remind yourself of what you owe them (everything). Where you come from (nothing). Remind yourself by doing one task for hours and hours and hours, working until your hands shake in the dark. Do not go home if your mother is sick. She's only your mother because she happened to give birth to you (just as you are a child because of when you happened to be born) - Kier is your father. Lumon is your family, and we need you here. We've put you right where you belong.

You cannot claim to be anti-AI while still actively seeking out and using AI.

Once again.

You cannot claim to be anti-AI while still using generative AI, no matter the reason.

(Bold/italicized text: You cannot claim to be anti-AI while still using generative AI, no matter the reason.)

Even if you’re just using it to make fun of it or show how bad it is.

Even if it’s only for your personal use, and you don’t plan on sharing it with anyone.

Even if you’re “just” roleplaying on Character AI.

If you are willing to justify your usage of a system created and profiting off of stealing from artists and writers, a symstem that is destroying the Earth, then you were never as “against that system” as you think you were. Being anti-AI isn’t something that exists only in name. You can’t claim to be against AI if you are willing and able to use it as soon as it benefits you. You can’t say you’re for writers’ and artists’ rights if you’re using the very thing that is causing them harm. You can’t claim to care about climate change and saving the Earth if you are participating in the system that is destroying it.

There is no middle ground here.

There is no “Oh, but I-“.

If you have the knowledge of what generative AI is doing, of how it is hurting people, and you choose to use it anyway, you aren’t  against it. You aren’t fighting against that system, you’re upholding it.

You can say how much you hate AI and how horrible you think it is, if you choose to use it anyway, then your actions and your words are not lining up, and the former reveals so much more than the latter.

Stop pretending like AI is something you can condemn only in name, while using it to your heart’s content in your free time. All it does it tells writers and artists that you don’t really care about us, and that any actions you claim to be taking to protect us are performative at best and lies or even outright malicious at worst.

You are—and I mean this in the kindest way possible, even with the fury that generative AI invokes in me—a complete and utter hypocrite. AI is not your friend. It is a tool, and it is a tool that steals from writers and artists in order to function. It is a tool that is using levels of energy and emitting amounts of polution in order to be maintained that are actively damaging the Earth. No matter how much you try to justify using it to yourself, that doesn’t change.

Stop hiding under the guise of being anti-AI while continuing to use it yourself.

tgr prediction before nora dances on my grave this weekend: jeremy kisses jean in the heat of the moment and jean immediately has a panic attack and scurries away like a little mouse to hide and we get an insane miscommunication arc out of it. and i bang my head against the wall even though he's so me. because wtf else are you supposed to do when someone kisses you? certainly not emote normally, no sir.

Two beautiful moments from the GO season 1 premiere in London. They really are irrepressibly drawn to each other, aren't they...

^ this is from my very first post on the topic, and i still think most of this applies. maybe i went too far with the architect part tho but it was funny in the moment

But this is what i mean by calling him 'man with every job'. it was really funny to me how he does many errands for people all over the place in the games, and i want this to translate. hence, he's the guy who can fix your broken chair. and build a shed. and drive. etc. most useful neighbor to have

what field did he get a PhD in, u ask? entomology. he was like 'man, i wish i could get paid for lookign at bugs all day'. and well...

if u really think about it, ull see my vision

As for Zelda... I think she spent a lot of time being pressured by her father to get the best grades n nothing less, and then to get into a good college etc, leading to many nervous breakdowns and other. Issues.

By the time she's about 23 the relationship becomes less strained, there's less pressure from his side, and in any case it was fine, really, he just wanted a good future for her, really, so- Point is, she wants to keep a good relationship with her father despite All That. Link still fucking hates the guy tho If her dad is the only one getting burnt food at the new years party, it was an accident and no one can prove anything <3

and i think she'd be in the engineering field. it just. feels right i dont think theyre actually married. yet

isn’t it such a gut-wrenching feeling to know the people you no longer have contact with – those people who only started out as strangers, but now they’re strangers all over again – actively look at the same moon.
