I love personalization. I love stickers on water bottles and on laptops. I love shitty marker drawing on the toes of converse. I love hand embroidered doodles on jeans. I love posters on walls. I love knick knacks on shelves. I love jewelry with goofy charms. I love when people take things and make them theirs.
To elaborate on this one: it really hurts my pride that I am no longer considered smart when it comes to academics, since uni level is LEAGUES ahead of the ~academicness~ I grew up in, but ah well, I'm, the little simple creature, will get the same degree as these smart people and I think I have less hatred in my heart then them
Maybe I am a simple being. But, consider, maybe being simple isn't all that bad. Maybe, just maybe, being intelligent isn't all that fun. Just a thought.
Constitutional reform in Hungary passed earlier by illiberal government. Veering further and further from checks on their authoritarian control of party structures, institutions, etc, these hypocritical right-populists, in Putin's pockets, believe women should also earn less than men.
Adoptions by same-sex couples were already banned I think, and women will now also have little protections from traditionalists who see them only as stay-at-home mothers- because the constitution adds bioessentialist language.
If this continues, Hungary should have no influence in European politics, and there are devices. And the same thing could have happened in Romania, happened in Poland, for a shorter while. European core values are threatened by people who don't respect freedom and human rights.
As Budapest Pride said- there was pride, there is pride, and there will be pride. Queer rights are human rights, now, and always.
I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like
can't format a work email? templates
don't know how to write a resume? templates
writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates
not sure how to format your citations in MLA or whatever format? citationmachine.net

there's a million more like, guys, we don't need AI, we never needed generative AI
the joy of realizing someone is a similar type of freak as you
"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."
Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?
Ever since coming to term with the fact that what I'm experiencing is, infact, imposter syndrome, sometimes I get these spurs of self awareness and find the situation rather funny. Like, I catch myself almost wanting to talk to myself like a parent or mentor like "Yes, you did write that, and yes, it sounds pretty professional, but that doesn't make it not yours, you silly!"
Man, I'm having such a weirdly nostalgic time with Love and deepspace, not because anything in that game is nostalgic in specific but the way it CONSUMES my waking thoughts, the way I CANNOT stop reading fanfiction, and the pain of not being able to play the game itself due not having any device to run it on pains me. And THAT is nostalgic, the way Undertale and the FNAF games formed me during my younger years despite not being able to play them, the way the community fed me well, kept me interested, engaged, it really is a very fun part of the internet
Maybe I am a simple being. But, consider, maybe being simple isn't all that bad. Maybe, just maybe, being intelligent isn't all that fun. Just a thought.
