Can’t Think Of A Tittle

I just reblog whatever I see and like, and I am NOT worth following
Sorry for the tonal dissonance of serious things next to fanarts, I want to signal boost certain things even if it clashes with the rest of the reblogs here

I feel like at the end of the day, we will never be able to fully replace anything with AI technology because, while a human being might be able to interpret inane, nonsensical bullshit from customers, an AI will likely just give the customer exactly what they ask for, which is all too rarely what they actually want, and the kind of customer that would normally get abusive and belligerent with staff is the exact same sort of customer who wouldn't think twice about punching, vandalizing, and pissing on a thousand dollar operating interface because their cheeseburger with no cheese had cheese on it

There was a group of angels at the bar tonight. Super intense vibe, but they kept to themselves and didn't disturb the other patrons, except for one point when they all suddenly burst into cheers and ordered a round for the bar. I asked what they were celebrating. They told me that for a split second all of the air molecules bounced petfectly into one corner of the room. It's like their version of the dvd screensaver.

just wanted a visual demonstration since I was talking about how much I love them

Mules are like horses with the self destruct button removed

...do you mean the 'self preservation instinct' removed????

No, absolutely not. It’s the opposite. Mules will straight up refuse to do things if they don’t have the confidence that they can complete it. This is where the term “stubborn as a mule” comes from. A horse would attempt these feats and break its weak little ankles and roll over and kill its rider. Mules do this because they know they can. That’s also why mules and donkeys are used as mounts around the Grand Canyon, they’re both sure-footed and stubborn and will refuse to do things that put them and the rider in danger when a horse would listen to the call of the void and just do it. Donkeys are less domesticated than mules, less dependent on humans and more self-assured, this is why they can be harder to train but also why they have such great self-preservation skills. A mule inherits those traits from its father.

@defat1 We're keeping this in mind for the campaign, I hope?

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

i think people have gotten out of the habit of writing characters being untruthful unless they're evil. sometimes people just lie, or they believe and repeat things that aren't true. people just do not and often Can not tell the absolute truth about themselves all the time even during heated and climactic moments. why are you writing everyone being absolutely honest about their feelings!!
