Btw when someone says “don’t talk to me like that, I don’t know you” the normal thing to do is apologize for the perceived overfamiliarity and correct the behavior. Just in case anyone was wondering
Insane to me that this is actually controversial. I’m silencing notes on this one bc I don’t want to see them anymore
sometimes neurodivergence questions will be like ‘do you find activities more enjoyable when they are activities you enjoy’ and it really makes me wonder if this ‘neurotypical’ thing has just been a big practical joke all along
‘do you find it disruptive to your focus when your focus on a task is disrupted suddenly and without warning’ this CANNOT be diagnostic criteria. they are playing us for fools
If u want to write a story about a character that’s just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who’s gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.
What if someone barges in, points at said character and scream, “Mary Sue!”
Tell them to come back with a warrant
This post came across my dash again and now I am having an absolute blast with self insert hotter me that gets the girls and guys everywhere.
This is the Way
Reblogging because I am very pro-writing whatever the hell you want, even ”bad” things, and also because “tell them to come back with a warrant” BROKE ME
moment of silence for everyone who relied on AI chat bots for research when it’s going around saying shit like this.
[image description: search that reads “country in africa that starts with K”. the featured snipped is from www.emergentmind.com and reads “While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter “K”. The closest is Kenya, which starts with a “K” sound, but is actually spelled with a “K” sound. It’s always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this.” /end ID]
I got curious and wanted to see if the Google suggestion still makes the mistake posted above. It looks like it has since been fixed.
… However, the site with the blatantly incorrect info (Emergent Mind) still shows up as one of the top search results. Right now it’s like, 2 results down from the “People also ask” section
What’s worse is that when you go to the site, its not like the chatbot generated this fact on its own. Based on the format presented on the Emergent Mind site, it just looks like a human prompt telling ChatGPT that there is no African country that begins with K and ChatGPT mindlessly corroborating this.
I’ve come to find that even the new article that replaced the blatantly false Emergent Mind article is still not perfect. Although its not 100% a concern because the original question was “what country in Africa starts with K”, I still need y'all to read this:
It’s a bit of a mouthful, but there are 6 countries that start with the letter ‘K.’ Some of these countries include: Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, and Kyrgyzstan. This letter is found in an alphabetical order in 12 different languages including Greek, Hindi, and German. It was once a common letter in English before being replaced by ‘Q’ and then later being dropped from the alphabet altogether.
Unless I read something wrong, the letter K is still very much a part of the alphabet.
I looked at other similar articles on the site and they seem to suffer from factual errors or other signs of AI generated-ness.
From this article (countries whose names start with J):
The letter J seems like an unlucky letter for most people. There’s not really a country that starts with the letter, and it’s also the last letter of the alphabet. Though there is something to be said about countries that start with “J” as they are at least listed in alphabetical order and therefore provide some sort of sense of order to the world.
From this article (countries whose names start with H):
East of Europe and north of Africa, there are many countries that start with the letter H. Croatia is the 26th largest country in Europe and has a population of 4.2 million. Croatia is also very old; it has been around for thousands of years. It is known as the crossroad between East and West. The country’s capital city is Zagreb, which was once a powerful medieval kingdom that stretched into modern-day Hungary and Turkey.
The information presented above may not be necessarily wrong (it might be, but right now I’m too sleepy to check unless its blatantly incorrect), but what the hell is Croatia doing in the opening paragraph of an article about countries whose names start with H?
i took 3 years of film classes and i still don’t fucking understand how the camera obscura works. thats magic to me idc

people explaining this to me are missing the point. yes i know its a physics thing. i know our eyes work the same way. however. i simply believe light shouldn’t work like that
I had this idea for a looping animation in which a single dot has a pretty long loop, but the animation as a whole is much shorter. Because of the repetition this animation is only 1 second long!
