I dunno, man. I'm sure as shit not gonna put any identifying information in here, that's for certain, but I am at the very least not a minor. (Born in '99) Music hoarder and soundtrack setter, neither of which professionally. (Header by towerofthemoon). Dedicated to some form of quality on this site, I guess.

god damn, man. you ever just spend a moment and realize you’ve had some real garbage takes on shit, and that’s just gonna sit on this website for forever, and people are gonna see your posts out of order the second they click one post of yours. They’re gonna see something you reblogged from someone 3 years ago when you were younger and dumber and held different opinions than you did now, or had a different way of trying to figure things out, or found other things entertaining. But then you’re always just going to be dumb, to them, because it might as well have been yesterday.

like, I’m never gonna be perfect, but I don’t wanna be as stupid as I’ve been in the past, man. This whole blog might as well be a memorial to my younger, dumber self, and I’m gonna fuck up now and in the future as well. But like, I try to figure things out by talking them out with people, man, and I can recognize between serious well-cited discussions and condescending “well duh obviously” takes.

Block list is always empty.

i think the thing people miss most when parading F/SN’s eroge heart around is that it wasnt you need to bust inside king arthur. It’s you need to bust in king arthur so she can shoot a magic beam out of excalibur. The conditional baby batter blast makes it far funnier 

Of course, how could i forget about everyone’s favourite guy.

its amazing that after months of people trying to hype new netflix shows only to see them cancelled after one season because they didnt squid game-level pop off, after netflix personally fucking over every animator that's ever worked for them, after netflix trying to squeeze blood from stones by tracking your location to stop password sharing, after hbo burned its entire library for tax purposes, everyone just decided that chatgpt is the main antagonist of the writers strike

that's not true though. the disagreement over generative language models was only one of 20+ points where the WGA and the film industry failed to find an amicable solution.

for anyone not interested in reading the documents pictured at the link above, in short, the WGA proposed a contract that would cost $429 million to implement, while the industry proposed a contract that would cost $86 million to implement and, insult to injury, would allow the employment of writers on a day-to-day basis for streaming content.

that's a huge discrepancy, and the majority of it comes from the industry refusing to fairly compensate writers for the work they do that ends up on (or is exclusively for) streaming services, not from anything related to chatgpt.

In response to Slate's article on the possibility having non-heteromative team in figure skating (particularly, ice dance and pairs), Oniceperspective shared a glimpse of Gabriella Papadakis (FRA) and Madison Hubbell (USA) working on their same-sex program. You can see how they switch the leading figure between them.

You can see them trying out lifts in this video.

The rest is on Instagram here:

wish ppl understood the power nowadays in not giving something attention. things today are so focused on attention and reaction and #memes that the best way to shut literally anything down is simply not give it exactly what it wants. like you arent going to own that bigot on twitter youre going to boost their original message whether thats your intent or not and you arent just playing with ai for shits and giggles you are giving it free learning and data. just stop engaging with things that dont deserve it

hey remember when pop-ups and banner ads were associated with malware? when youtube didn't have any ads at all? when you could get a cheap netflix subscription that was better than cable TV? digital marketing experts estimate that most americans see 5-10k ads every day. what the hell is going on

#i like to think data took him all the way to the brig tossed him in and left#and then came back 60 seconds later and was like ‘i believe i have successfully played a ‘practical joke’ on you :)’#riker loses it & claps him on the back like ‘wow. good job u rly had me going. dont ever fucking do that again’ Perfect.

Actually it’s 73 seconds. Data, knowing something of how human minds work, estimates that Riker will give him 60 seconds to come back (because humans prefer “round numbers”, however arbitrary the units). After 60 seconds it will take 4 seconds for Riker to fully process the conclusion that Data is, in fact, not coming back after all, and an additional 9 seconds to build to the optimum level of anxiety. 

After all, comedy is timing.

I was thinking this guy was fortnite dancing until I realized this is probably where Epic stole it from

Donald Faison improvised this dance on Scrubs and yes, Fortnite stole it.

He also wasn’t compensated or credited, and he’s pissed about it

Two-syllable compound verbs starting with "g" that didn't make the cut:

  • gatecrash
  • ghostwrite
  • globetrot
  • goalkeep
