Crazy part is I’m not even talking about ai generated slop. I’m talking about when I’m watching a real ass human, trying to make money in this fuck of a world, and it’s like. Is there any life behind those eyes. Am I watching a human or am I watching a tiktok that contains one. Theyre not the same

You ever find yourself watching a tiktok or youtube short and wondering whether the person whose words are being flashed at you 1 word at a time is ensouled or is in fact just a facsimile of humanity birthed from the torment nexus of digital consumerism to extract money from your attention?

One of the hardest + most important things to learn as a creative. Stop waiting to make your “opus” — keep going, get better

This isn’t a shot at anime, this is a shot at my own weird inability to make myself consume art I know I’m gonna like

Anime is one of my favorite pastimes, which is why I spend all my time adding shows to my list and then not watching them ever and spending all my time reading or playing video games instead

I am a TTRPG fan! I love books with unique, dynamic layout, where every page is a new adventure! This should have been right up my alley!

But the actual writing is horrendous. A purposeful satire of bad writing? Maybe, but it makes you slog through SO much of it and you get so little as a reward

I am officially DNF-ing the 4th stop on my journey into modern horror literature, House of Leaves. What a headache to read, all in service of a slightly spooky story with a slightly fun gimmick where the layout gets all fucky.

Significantly more fun to talk about than it is to actually experience

I straight up can’t go there anymore, I find myself losing my mind within like 3 scrolls

Yay!

1% inspiration and 99% perspiration

Skeet so nice he posted it twice!

When is my turn to not be tired

I'm gonna sound like one of those annoying jackass influencers but if you're seeing less activity from me on socials it's because the less I engage with them the better I feel as a human being. I look at you with my big beautiful eyes as I say the words; log off

Project Hail Mary was great! Did the book justice and then some, really brought out the emotional core of the story. Obviously the book is better if you’re primarily interested in the science behind everything, but either way the movie’s a fantastic watch

I don’t know how many seasons of the anime they’ll even do but the next one is the last one you need to watch

A truly pathetic showing from Tatsuki Fujimoto. I regret ever getting invested in Chainsaw Man Part 2

Friday’s press gaggle. Barely exaggerated: at 12:03 PM, President Trump told reporters he wanted a ceasefire with Iran. At 12:05 he declared victory. At 12:07 he announced he was sending Marines. At 12:08 he said no boots on the ground. At 12:11 he said he did not want a ceasefire. At 12:16 he declared victory again. At 12:17 he asked for a ceasefire. At 12:23 he told NATO they were cowards. At 12:29 he said Iran was begging for a ceasefire. At 12:31 he said everything was perfect. At 12:36 he said $500 oil was a good thing. At 12:37 he demanded Iran open Hormuz. At 12:39 he said Hormuz was never closed. At 12:41 he said the US was not at war with Iran. At 12:42 he declared victory in Iran

thanks to AI our slow and humiliating national suicide will be punctuated by visual media that is so good even a dog could jack off to it

bunch of absolute fucking cowards

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

The rules and rulesets you create don't have to answer to people who don't choose to use them. They have to answer to the people who do choose to use them.

Why couldn't this chimp have just locked the fuck in

it's awesome how much money grocery chains are willing to spend on Theft Deterring Infrastructure like chest high traffic gates and "AI"-augmented cameras and riot-geared rentacops, but they absolutely refuse to pay for more than one cashier to man their four dusty checkout lanes at any given time.

Get absolutely fucked cunningham

Sales tax (VAT etc) AND corporation tax AND income tax. Also don't forget refunds. Also don't forget 3rd party costs like contractors, marketing, localisation, software/tools, hardware, internet/webhosting, etc.

After all that, you get to pay yourself.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

The Pokemon situation is a really good metaphor for climate change actually

In our lifetimes, we will live in a world of climate disaster, and there will be more official pokemon than anyone could reasonably keep track of. We could prevent this by acting now, but we don’t, because of money

daggerheart is what i'd actually recommend to people trying to get into dnd nowadays, i think it captures that about 75% of any given rpg is purely vibes
