As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

How people can mistakenly think or just subconsciously feel food works: there are “unhealthy” foods like pizza or fried chicken and “healthy” foods like fruit salad or steamed vegetables. Every time you eat an “unhealthy” food you’ve harmed yourself in some way.

How food actually works: foods contain carbs, proteins, fats, sugars, vitamins, minerals, fiber and/or other nutrients. Your body needs and uses all of them but it would like to have a little of everything every day. If you ate pizza or fried chicken for lunch then that’s probably your fat and protein for the day with extra that your body will make use of in time, so it’s a good idea to make your next meal something different like that fruit salad or steamed veggies. You can have that fatty lunch every single day if you just maintain balance and stay active enough to actually use what you’re stocking up on because foods aren’t “good or bad;” they just either fit into the rest of your diet and lifestyle or they don’t.

Thanks, OP. 

also your body doesn’t necessarily work on a daily cycle, it’s not so neat as to understand linear time and how we choose to divide it. You don’t have to try and find perfect balance every single day, sometimes you will go three or four days eating less or eating more. Sometimes you will crave fats or salts or sugars or greens for a few days at a time before your body will decide it’s gathered enough resources in one particular department. The balance is achieved over time and in uneven tides, and that’s good and fine.

Original post has been going around for years now but this fairly recent addition is a really good one I needed to be reminded of too. We don’t just reset to 0 every night.

do u ever just point at two characters and go “i want that one to get hurt and i want the other one to get really angsty about it”

I kinda like whatever the hell Morrigan and Alistair have going on. They should fuck once and then be really weird about it for the rest of their lives

like

they're insufferable together I love it

Hey everyone. do Morrigan and Alistair fuck

making every conversation into being about The Character with the same reliability and conviction of a youth pastor going “you know who else partied? our lord and savior”

Okay I don't know if anyone else feels like this, but I physically hate having to call connor, "connor kenway" like ewwwwwww get that white name out of here

Idk, connor is fine for me, but saying connor kenway just feels like I'm trying to erase the native part of him, which sucks since most of his content is tagged under connor kenway, so if I want my post to be seen by connor fans, I have to use that name😞

Anyway, this is my petition for the fandom to start using Ratonhnhaké:ton instead of connor

i think at some point, after everyone had died or left, and dutch was isolated in the mountains, he started talking to hosea again. in the dead of night, surrounded by obedient strangers and people he doesn't care about, he'd start holding one sided conversations with his grief. he'd argue with his subconcious. always taking hosea's form, carrying his voice and even traces of wisdom he'd imparted all those years ago. but dutch is beyond ancient wisdom now. he's a modern man. he doesn't need wisdom or advice, he needs company.

he longs for the times he could call his friend out by the litany of endearing names he'd forged for him. they'd read and they'd talk, he yearns for the only man who understood his nature and walked alongside him in spite of it. but all he has is ghosts and self doubt, so hosea becomes his doubt personified, his last shred of empathy, his sole tie to humanity. and on good nights and bad nights alike, the men who call him a leader choose to ignore the way he rambles to the dark.

Hey, I know this is the "lovingly bullying your friends" website but please make sure that your friends are actually okay with the jokes you make about them and the things you tease them about, even really innocent things like making fun of typos or pronunciation because that shit is fine for most people but VERY hurtful for others.

If you make a joke and you notice your friend getting quieter suddenly or they stop responding to messages or they try to change the subject, it's a good idea to take them aside or message them privately and ask genuinely if they were hurt by what you said and if they want you to stop making those kinds of jokes. It can save a lot of heartache and hurt feelings.

"but the text never explicitly stated it!!!" hey, so that's actually what they tried to teach you in those english classes you barely passed 😁

I won't fight for a spot in anyone's life. either value me or miss me
