This Post Was So Pretentious, Although My Underlying Point Still Stands 

kim, there are people that are dying

here’s a hot take: Lily Tino wouldn’t be so “annoying and evil” if people were more accepting towards trans women. i can’t be the only one who can understand her frustration. as far as i’m aware, her only “crime” is getting upset when people misgender her. she probably wouldn’t be getting as upset as she does if there was a level of basic respect towards trans people. of course, a lot of the employees she’s getting upset with are very apologetic and will often times immediately correct themselves, but i think it’s totally fair for her to be like “…? seriously..? you can’t tell that i’m trying to present myself more femininely…?”

he is celebrating something (which is why he is dressed very fancily)

I'm going to say something so controversial and so brave right now-

queer fandoms have gotta stop acting like the only path to queer happiness is through a relationship. It's reductive and exclusionary. It's bad enough in a fandom context and worse when it bleeds into real life. Queer joy comes in many different forms and that's what makes it beautiful. Take your ship goggles off for a second and expand your horizons

i hate when you google a word and some fucking company comes up instead. Do you think you are more important than the english dictionary you piece of shit corporation

next time someone asks me for my pronouns i’m straight up saying “i dunnoooo..!” whilst twiddling my thumbs and blushing

glad we can agree, humiliated that i replied to this thread on my side blog

theyre unlocking new types of guy over on reddit apparently

Disrupting time as she speaks

there is a book for every single excuse someone may have for using ai. if not a book, there’s an article. if not an article, there’s some guy on reddit who experienced the same thing in 2010. if not a reddit guy, i’m sure you could ask around your peer group and find someone who can help.

reading and talking not your thing? watch a youtube video. there is a niche for literally everything.

the best part about not using ai? a human teaching you something actually cares about the consequences you may face if you don’t have the skill you’re looking to learn. a robot couldn’t give less of a fuck if the lacklustre email it shits out at you puts you in a tough situation with colleagues, or if you get a passing grade on your essay, and it especially doesn’t give a fuck about the person you’re trying to impress with your sappy soulless paragraphs about love. actually, scratch that. ai isn’t even capable of not giving a fuck, or giving one.

a person teaching you how to write a proper email? probably understands what it’s like to be concerned about professionalism, and has been in your shoes before. someone giving you tips on how to write a better essay? probably someone who’s written their fair share of horrible/fantastic works and can give you advice on what your human teacher might be looking for. fuck it, someone offering dating advice? probably knows how much it sucks to get rejected, and actually KNOWS WHAT ITS LIKE TO FEEL LOVE AND ADMIRATION FOR SOMEONE.

i think ai can be used in so many cool ways, and it’s not just some evil thing that’s going to take over the world and rot all of our brains, but good fucking god do not let it replace our creativity and individuality.

so many of the "i only use chat gpt for ___" excuses are concerning because people use it in place of learning basic, valuable skills.

you don't need chat gpt to write professional sounding emails for you, there are many many guides on the internet and with a bit of practise you can learn to write them yourself. a very important skill for a professional to have, and some of the basic rules will carry over into irl conversations!

you don't need chat gpt to be a "more detailed search engine", because you're robbing yourself of the chance to learn how to find and filter information on the internet and evaluate the credibility of sources. which is a VITAL skill. plus, chat gpt is notorious for being wrong?

if you use it to write essays, you're taking away your ability to hone your research skills, your writing skills, your critical thinking skills. your ability to create persuasive arguments!

and for most of the other reasons people use chat gpt, there are non-ai websites for that! for maths, wolfram alpha. for figuring out what you can cook with the ingredients you have there's supercook and the like. for creating routines, there's about a million apps!

whatever you "only" use chatgpt for i promise there are better websites out there that you don't have to worry will produce complete bullshit???? and destroy the environment???

realizing cis women also struggle with “passing” a lot of times and has a lot of the same issues with dysphoria trans women have (issues with putting on/losing weight, dissatisfied with bust size, not feeling “feminine” enough, etc.) has done a lot to combat dysphoria for me, cause it’s like, wow, we really have a lot more in common than we have in difference huh
