nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

i wisely turned off the notes on this when it was at 700 but oh my god stop telling me what you "just" use it for in the notes shut the fuck up shut the fuck up I AM NOT A CATHOLIC PRIEST, I DO NOT ABSOLVE YOU. WRITE YOUR OWN EMAILS.

Someday your hands will be old and wrinkled, the skin spotted and bunching over your knuckles. And a child will watch you make something. It's a simple task, you'll have done it a thousand times before. But to that child, the smooth, confident way your hands move will seem like impossible magic. You have to keep living.

prev these tags have me crying. this is absolutely what it's all about

For depressed, lazy transfems, I highly recommend letting go of your dysphoria hooded and investing in a dysphoria house coat. You still look sad and frumpy, but you look like a sad frumpy *woman* and that will do wonders for your mental health

I'm a "yes, and" girl, not a "no, u" girl

this is a joke about improv but also about not deflecting compliments, which can feel awkward to the other person, but instead accepting and building up the other person too!

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.

It's easy to call Grimes stupid. But if I were Grimes I would also make every single choice she made in the order she made it in because I would be Grimes and I would experience Grimes's life in the order it occurred. In this way we are all trapped inside of ourselves, and none of us know just how stupid we fucking are.

Person: I wish that bird was closer so we could tell what it is

Me: That's a golden eagle

Person: Is it?

Me: Yeah

Person: How do you know?

Me: I can see it

Person: Yeah but how do you know

Me: I dunno. I've just seen 'em before. The head's just shaped different

Person: Bit what if it's not

Me: What do you mean?

Person: It could be a turkey vulture

Me: It isn't

Person: But how do you know that?

Person: You know it wouldn't kill you to just say you don't know. You don't need to be right about everything all the time, you don't need to know everything.

Person: You always dig your heels into stuff like this and honestly it kind of feels like you just like arguing with people. Did your parents not pay enough attention to you or something

(Bird flies closer)

Person: Oh hey it is a gold eagle

Person: But you had no way of knowing that

Person: So are you just cranky today orrr

  1. I know a lot of random shit about a lot of random shit. So do you. That's the human experience
  2. I know shit that you don't know. You know shit that I don't know. That's the human experience
  3. Sometimes you know things you can't explain or prove and if this was a scientific process that might be a problem bUt when we're out in the world with zero stakes and it doesn't MATTER and I say "I don't know how I know, I just do" that's not "trying to be a know it all" that's just KNOWiNG
