30-something something

Contemplating a new internet moniker for m'self. Somewhat fond of ‘Cerulean Breakfast Pastry’ but I’m not married to it. I’m in that general PG-reference-to-not-PG-thing groove so if anyone’s got a better idea…

('The Deviations’ was supposed to be a sci-fi crossover fanfic that I never got around to writing, but I did make an LJ for it. Then used that LJ to post on the shkinkmeme, thus I became it and it became me. There’s a fun fact.)

got a random ass (affectionate) like on this post when I’m once again trying to write The Thing Borne of An Empty ‘Ship Tag That No One Has Filled Since I Noticed Its Absence On AO3 Well Over A Decade Ago

I’m obviously The One here. I must smoosh the particular sapphics together and call out the internet for failing to be itself. The universe has determined this.

tv show. white man. hes sad. he has to do important thing but its hard. his girlfriend died probably. TWSIT!! theres another white man. maybe MORE. hes sad too but for different reason. its very deep probably. theyre best friends but not gay but maybe they are haha fandom!!! every girl dies or goes away. just not gay white man friend. 10 seasons 100 million viewers. what will moody white men do this week.

This post just turned 10 years old which is pretty fucked up actually. When I made this post people would say things like “actually supernatural only has 8 seasons” but here we are in 2023 so who’s laughing now. Not me I want to die

The people going “but I paid my loans off so why shouldn’t theyyyy” like seriously stfu

The fact you paid them off doesn’t mean you worked harder. It just means you got lucky. I will fight you on this.

I’m not going back to college. I support free college. I don’t make minimum wage. I support increasing it above the cost of living. This is called ‘Wanting a better life for our people.’” End I.D.]

"-if I told you this was not the first time I've played D&D on curb next to a parking lot!

Long you have journeyed through the mythic realms, through forests deep, caverns old, to arrive at the Valley of the Sun! (people laugh) LOL, big LOL. |It is in the dead of night, dawn has not yet come, and from an ancient sarcophagus lines with runes, you see rising from the mist, the vampiric form of John Strahd! (people laugh) CEO of Ravenloft Studios. (people boo)

He arises, (gasps), and you see behind him the vast collected treasures, artifacts, and magical items, all taken from the fine hands of your fellow wizards, bards, artificers. A massive horn like that of an ancient dragon!

He stands, "Ahh, adventurers brave. Defeating you will be a cruel, but necessary evil!" (everyone boos)

Good afternoon, Mr. Gaiman.

Thank you for your great work with Good Omens, this is the first series in my life, which seems to be very simple, but catchy at some deeper levels of the subconscious.

You said that you have known for a long time how Good Omens will end.

Can you tell that this will be a happy ending for Aziraphale and Crowley?

Crowley and Aziraphale will both be eaten by space-time-goats in the first episode of Season 3. Sadie and Dottie then team up to investigate the deaths of their husbands. In the end they discover that the Space-Time Goats were actually working for Crowley's old Nemesis, Doctor Unmentionable. He tumbles screaming into a volcano, and is eaten by lava sharks.

Are the lava sharks smooth just like real sharks?

*raises my hand to ask a question* what if we collectively refused to refer to AI as 'AI'? it's not artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence doesn't currently exist, it's just algorithms that use stolen input to reinforce prejudice. what if we protested by using a more accurate name? just spitballing here but what about Automated Biased Output (ABO for short)

I've been informed that in australia, "Abo" is a slur against Aboriginal people. therefore a respectful and clear differentiation must be made:

  1. when spoken aloud, 'A.B.O' (Automated Biased Output) should have the distinct pronunciation of an acronym (Aee-Bee-Oh).
  2. the written form becomes a little trickier in the age of social media, where periods and capitalization are often considered optional. therefore, i would suggest a less common punctuation mark to distinguish the acronymic version of "Automated Biased Output"

in summary: a more descriptive, respectful, and practical term for Artificial Intelligence is, quite logically, A/B/O

A/B/O is also used to talk about the Omegaverse

omegaverse like the thing zuckberg is tryna do with all the facebook instagram internet-of-thing virtual reality Mega company stuff?

No, that's the Metaverse. The Omegaverse is all those movies with Captain America and the Guardians of the Galaxy and whatnot.

oh DUH, that's why i keep seeing stuff about marvel omegaverse on my dash every time they do a new movie

If I see any of you posting shit about not voting, in the year of Clarence Thomas saying we should revisit Marriage Equality and little girls being banned from school sports for having short hair, know that I WILL eat you first when we're in the Mad Max Fury Road level of planet fuckery.
