new spinterest is all fun and games until you have to do classwork

BY TALOS THIS CANT BE HAPPENING

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

We often eat pie at work...for morale.

"As a treat" implies a special occasion, a temporary state. "For morale" makes the joy essential, because you have to have good morale to keep going.

come play blorbos with me

we can do tghis. our touy

yeah, this is my pet knight, she's a rescue. i gave her a brief act of mercy and she followed me home and sat outside my door to guard me from intruders. she swore her undying allegiance to me in exchange for a gift of grace and now she sleeps at the foot of my bed and weeps when im late coming home. and yeah, she only eats wet food because she's a snob, also.

I know I keep saying this but I keep seeing it: stop being ableist in your anti-AI posts. half of the people I see reblogging these are disabled themselves and it makes me so angry! "I don't even know where chatGPT lives, I can make my own grocery list" great for you! I have no idea where it lives either because I've never used it! but also making your own grocery list involves multiple complex skills a lot of people do in fact have trouble with. writing a 900 word essay involves a lot of complex skills a lot of people have trouble with. writing professional emails involves a lot of complex skills a lot of people struggle with. yes, I assume most of the people using chatGPT to write their high school essays aren't cognitively disabled and most people making these posts are thinking about A Hypothetical Neurotypical Person Being Lazy etc etc but that doesn't matter, the fact of the matter is that thinking yourself superior for being able to write a grocery list is in fact ableist.

you have all GOT to be able to talk about this and be able to make your points without acting like you're better because you don't find these tasks hard. "I can write an essay without asking the lying machine 🙄 you guys are weak and can't do anything" good for you. I can dislike the lying machine and think that practicing skills that are difficult is an essential life skill without putting down people who struggle with academics etc when I talk about it 🙄 you guys are all being really ableist. skill issue.

the disability community here has SUCH a problem prioritizing certain types of disabled people, especially disabled people who are higher functioning linguistically etc, and it's incredibly frustrating when people who I know are usually good about this or who try to be good about this throw it all out the window when it comes to LLMs. stop it. stop.

reblogging this again because I just saw one that did genuinely use the word "moron." this post will return every time I see something like this.

You have got to be FUCKING kidding me!! Holyshit bro... these motherfuckers are too comfortable with price increases...

The cousin of "he would not say that:" he would not keep saying that. It was a one off funny line for one particular situation. Every memorable line does not need to become a running gag.

being an english major isn’t about refining your writing or analysis literature or any of that shit. it’s about confessing shit you wouldn’t tell your closest friends under penalty of death to a 40-something white guy you met 6 months ago

it’s also about forming a codependent attachment to one specific vending machine in the science building you don’t even have classes in

"damn I'm crying over an insect" "why am I having such strong feelings over how the sky looks" "it's weird how happy this small thing made me feel" THAT'S BECAUSE YOU LIVE HERE!!!! you live on this earth. everything all the time is an experience, no matter how common or mundane. this world is unique. so are its small moments. it is good to enjoy a tiny thing. you love the world even at its smallest scale.

I see way too many posts about being really affectionate with your friends and if you aren't hugging and kissing your friends then you don't really have friends and you should be in love with your friends a little bit and it annoys me so here's a post that shouts out non-affectionate friends. shoutout to the people who don't like affection or hugging or being super gushy with each other but still love and appreciate their friends dearly. shoutout to the people who find it really hard to be emotionally vulnerable and sweet but are still always there for you in a crisis. shoutout to people who don't have to be hugging you constantly to prove that they care about you

No I’m not attracted to you. Quit your evil putting your finger under my chin to make me look up at you. I know I’m your nemesis and all but we really need to set some boundaries when you’ve got me tied up like this.

No look I get it. You’ve got your evil plan, you’ve gotta get me out of the way but you also want to see me suffer as I watch the world burn, I know. But like, I’m not into this. Sexually or otherwise. Wait, you thought I was doing this because I liked you? I’m trying to stop you from using a death laser. No I don’t think death lasers are sexy what on earth are you talking about

Wait. That’s why you dress like that? I thought that armor was impractical. No I don’t find our relationship to be homoerotic I find it to be tedious. Look, man. We all keep trying to get you into therapy. No I’m not kink shaming you I’m saying you’ve completely misinterpreted this relationship. I actually do think you should answer for your war crimes. Yes, really. No you’re the one not listening to me in this situation. Yes that is the alarm the others will have cut all your wires and called in the fbi by now.

What do you mean you thought we had something special? I have other enemies. You’re not the only one. No I’m not doing kinky things with them either I blow up their nefarious devices. Speaking of which, you might want to move like… ten feet to your right.

No, enemies to enemies. And then still enemies.

Cannot stress enough how lovers will never be part of this equation even a little bit

The henchmen in the tags who have been assuring the villain since the beginning that “of course he likes you back, why else would he keep coming to destroy your death lasers”

The henchmen have been reading too many romance novels.

Awfully defensive are we? I think the henchmen are onto something.

You know I didn’t intend for this character I made up to be aromantic but this whole post has turned into being arospec at a family reunion simulator

Enemies to Queerplatonic

No.

People out here throwing "queerplatonic" at aros like people who substitute AFAB/AMAB for woman/man and think the new language means they're magically not being transphobic

You can't just throw a new word into an old idea and pretend you've changed your mindset
