You're Being Presumptuous

sometimes the joke going over your head can really work out

I think one of the goals of society should be that someone who requires expensive medicine and a lot of care can live an amazing life, the longest life they possibly can, with dignity, even if they have no friends or family or anyone who cares enough about them to help. the goals of a society should be to make life better than if we are alone, society should want life to be as good as possible for as many people as possible, and those goals should account for people not having social support networks.

social life aside, the most hated or ignored person in town should be able to live as good and fair and just of a life as the most loved person in town. survival needs to stop being a popularity contest.

Will never get over the fact that the creator of Johnny Bravo is on the record as saying Johnny Bravo lays mad pipe but his successes aren't funny

Pizza VS Flower with bee on it VS Bisexuality VS Wind turbine

For anyone who doesn't want to watch the video, he used a list of things from Wikidata, pared it down to about 8000 things that most people would have heard of, and made a website where people voted for the best option in randomly selected pairs of things.

Pizza was voted the 9th best thing, making it the best food. Bees weren't in the top 10 best things, but they won 77% of matchups to be selected as the best creature, followed by emperor penguins and hedgehogs. Bisexuality didn't place in the top 10 either, but it won 73% of matchups compared to heterosexuality winning only 45%. (Orgasms were the highest ranked sexual thing, and were miraculously ranked at number 69.) I think the windmill is supposed to stand for electricity, which was the second place winner. And the winner of "best thing" was sleep.

funniest thing about the “reddit migration” is that I haven’t seen a single post shitting on anyone coming from Reddit. when twitter started bleeding users everyone was firing rent-lowering posts but with redditors skittering about we’ve left the doors open and put out food bowls

Trying to prevent gentrification vs trying to rehome feral cats.

im at the pub and they got a dog on the roof

[Image ID: The poem “One Source of Bad Information”, by Robert Bly.  There’s a boy in you about three years old who hasn’t learned a thing for thirty Thousand Years. Sometime it’s a girl.  The child had to make up its mind How to save you from death. He said things like:  “Stay home. Avoid elevators. Eat only elk.”  You live with this child, but you don’t know it.  You’re in the office, yes, but live with this boy  At night. He’s uninformed, but he does want To save your life. And he has. Because of this boy  You survived a lot. He’s got six big ideas.  Five don’t work. Right now he’s repeating them to you.

I can’t help but disagree

Perfectly Comfy

Sorry. I’ve been thinking about supernatural lately. And how I’m literally not crazy despite all the evidence to the contrary (mouthpieces actors etc still in 2023 telling me I’m crazy for the tenth year running)

Literally. Hey. Why. How does this happen. How have they continued to get away with brushing things off by saying you’re crazy. You’re a nut. You’re a hysterical woman and also a shut in creep and loser to boot. Destiel has never even been on screen together. And I go okay. Um. Well. For one that’s not very nice to say to me just because I think Dean is gay. Two I have a screenshot of them sharing a scene right here? And they smash my laptop containing the screenshot and I go . Wh. Hey. Why did you break my laptop. To which they say. What laptop

I keep trying to metaphor this experience into expressable but like. What metaphor. Pulls into 3D. the fact that in 2013 cas stopped being brainwashed because dean told him he loved him. And then a season later the executive of the cw goes ummmmm let me be clear. We are not writing destiel. I have no intention to add destiel. But if you keep watching maybe we will add destiel. But there’s no destiel on screen to be clear. And there’s no reason we would ever do it. Cut to. 2020. My point. Whiplash 5000 from. 15.18 airs. Misha talks about how of course it’s gay. Jensen ackles talks about how of course it’s a very emotional meaningful scene to many people. Videos of Misha collins saying the word homosexual are quietly deleted. People who ask questions about the episode are quietly escorted out of conventions. The only time it is mentioned at all is to wash the narrative about the scene into #hashtag platonic hashtag family hashtag brothers no yucky gay stuff I promise. Like. Why is there a moratorium on speaking about this episode. Forbidden episode. If you work for the cw at any point and speak it’s name you turn to flame. Which like. I know why. But. You can’t. It’s there. It is literally there on my screen. You can’t memory hole one episode because it was preceded by 11 seasons of television that endorsed it. It IS insane that there are official documents outlining the fact that it is not to be talked about and that they will remove you from the premises if you say the forbidden words (the confession). Like that’s crazy. To do. About. A narrative. You filmed. And aired.

been stuck with a terrible feeling that one of the episodes in the new black mirror season is gonna end with a title card like "the program you just watched was written by artificial intelligence" and they're going to be so smug about it and we'll all have to talk about it for weeks

oh hey apollo

lol

yeah, if you read the article, all he says is he toyed around with chatGPT by prompting write a black mirror episode. nothing about any intentions for an ai-written episode.
