there's something so compelling to me about the fact that sometimes leaving a blade or bullet inside the wound it made is the only way to prevent you from bleeding to death. something about the ironic symbolism of it. when the thing designed and intended to kill you is the only thing keeping you alive.
also yes i do enjoy a bit of penetration imagery and the perverse intimacy of violence. if you must know.
“you support gay rights so you must be gay”

“what if the house was haunted” what if the house WASNT haunted. what if your continual presence there is what corrupts. what if you are what haunts this house
its so fucked up how difficult it is to move to another country you shouldn’t need a reason or anything you should be able to show up at the border and be like “the vibes were off back home” and they should let you in
I could function in a society that had an actual nightlife that isn't synonymous with just clubbing. Where are the night markets what if I want to go to the library at midnight

how’d you make a blank post?

This is the most hilarious thing to see on mobile.
i think it would be funny if people occasionally arose from the dead. like if that was a real-life one-in-a-million but well-documented Thing That Sometimes Happens, and the entire legal system around death (laws on inheritance & marriage & murder etc) had to include caveats for the unlikely-but-scientifically-possible event that the dead person in question might spontaneously self-resurrect, even years or decades after death. it would raise so many inconvenient and absurd possibilities
#imagine the legal system in that timeline. property laws and inheritance laws and bigamy laws--what happens if your spouse resurrects 10 years after they die? think how AWKWARD that would be. what happens if you inherit from someone who comes back, do you have to give the inheritance back? what if u used it to buy stuff? does the jetski u bought with the money your grandpa left u 15 years ago in college now belong to grandpa? or is there a statute of limitations?
#if the guy you got convicted of murdering returns from the dead does your conviction get changed from murder to grievous harm? how is the grievousness of the harm measured? in the number of years the guy spent as a corpse? what if you spend 20 years in prison and the victim comes back to life and it turns out grievous harm would have landed you only 5ish years. do you get reimbursed for the extra 15 years u spent in prison?
#what is the legal process for proving you have come back to life? what are the minimum legal requirements for establishing a revenant's identity #does it become regulation to make fingerprint/dental records of every single person who dies just on the off chance one of them comes back? #what happens if it's someone from like 300 years ago?the world has changed and everyone they know is dead. is there a social services department that can help with that?
#there would be a whole branch of counseling services for people who have reanimated or had a loved one reanimate. #grief 2.0 counselors
"Dont drink coffee after 2 PM" is such a neurotypical issue that sounds made up. Such a thing couldnt happen to me, ADHD Georg, who has coffee past 9:30 PM and can still fall asleep freely because I have a natural toxicity resistance to caffeine.
"OooOooOoOh I cant haev cofee so late otherwise I'll be up all night" sounds like a skill issue
passports…should not expire
actually i have decided that passports shouldn’t exist at all
i love it here
Me when I'm about to do a terrorism but I am stopped by a cop asking for my passport
“everything will be okay”: shallow and dismissive comfort that establishes impossible goal an indefinite future away
“in two weeks you will have different problems”: so true bestie the human experience
i think eventually we're all just gonna have to come to terms with the fact that it's impossible to tell a story with any degree of subtlety or nuance without risking a portion of the audience taking the "wrong message", and that's ok. art isn't meant to be strictly a teaching tool, and if you're goal is just to convince people or critique an idea, just write an essay or a polemic
people taking the "wrong message" from a story isn't a failure of that story, it's a function of art itself
“Imagine what it would look like if ChatGPT were a lossless algorithm. If that were the case, it would always answer questions by providing a verbatim quote from a relevant Web page. We would probably regard the software as only a slight improvement over a conventional search engine, and be less impressed by it. The fact that ChatGPT rephrases material from the Web instead of quoting it word for word makes it seem like a student expressing ideas in her own words, rather than simply regurgitating what she’s read; it creates the illusion that ChatGPT understands the material. In human students, rote memorization isn’t an indicator of genuine learning, so ChatGPT’s inability to produce exact quotes from Web pages is precisely what makes us think that it has learned something. When we’re dealing with sequences of words, lossy compression looks smarter than lossless compression.”
