sometimes (very often) I just sit there like ?????????

#mother has asked once again in all seriousness if i'd consider mr knight if he were to ask me out a second time................ #mother the answer is you couldn't pay me enough money to do that. i'd literally rather be single for the rest of my life #between mr knight and the engineer boy ive learned quite a lot about what i'd like/DEFINITELY would not like in a potential boyfriend #and personally. PERSONALLY. i can't do this no more <3 i CANNAE HANDLE that kind of anxiety sadness insecurity confusion! #the anniversary of the day i wrote mr knight a ten page (occasion: valentine's day) love letter for the first time #and received a random Facebook meme and two weeks of radio silence in return is coming up and i must say #that kind of experience is enough for a girl to put her foot down and declare: that's enough. i can't do this no more :-) #anyway father too was like well all things considered mr knight's not the worst option. he's okay. he could turn out okay #to which i say. father. i may seem and feel desperate at times but i'm not THAT desperate. #no offense to mr knight he simply isnt the right person for me and im simply not the right person for him #i wouldnt be offended if he said you couldnt pay me enough money to date her again either (well. maybe a little. but still)

This post is all bad but this part especially. Whew. You're conflating ALL Palestinians with the terrorists who murdered twelve hundred innocent people, and you still think you're helping the Palestinian cause?

#“murdering 1200 civilians is justified” – real people‚ SOMEHOW #* #mine #literally nothing happens in a vacuum. if you start with that kind of justification then you'll just end up going further and further back #until you get to the first goddamn monkey who smacked another one with a rock. and what's the point in bringing *that* up *now*? #I bet you think the Charlie Hebdo murders were justified too. or hell‚ what about 9/11? #or is it just Jewish people that are fair game for terror attacks? #the babies whose heads were blown off with shotguns? the children burned alive with soot inside their lungs? #the grandmothers raped and tortured to death‚ while the whole thing was livestreamed on Facebook? #see‚ MY hot take is that terrorism is *always* bad. murder of innocents is *never* justifiable. but you don't agree‚ right? #you'd better be careful with that kind of rhetoric. because you can justify anything if you frame it as a radial act of self-determination. #even when it really is just a bunch of terrorists hurting people for fun.

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

#BEGONE!!! *wizard beam blast leaving a black smoking crater in the middle of the tumblr dashboard* #I think another downside to everyone doing everything on phone apps on shitty tiny screens nowadays is the inability to really see details #of an image and thus its easier to share BLATANTLY fake things like.. even 'good' ai art has pretty obvious tells at this point #but especially MOST of it is not even 'good' and will have details that are clearly off or lines that dont make sense/uneven (like the imag #of a house interior and in the corner there's a cabinet and it has handles as if it has doors that open but there #are no actual doors visible. or both handles are slightly different shapes. So much stuff that looks 'normal' at first glance #but then you can clearly tell it's just added details with no intention or thought behind it. a pattern that starts and then just abruptly #doesn't go anywhere. etc. etc. ) #the same thing with how YEARS ago when I followed more fashion type blogs on tumblr and 'colored hair' was a cool ''''New Thing''' instead #of being the norm now basically. and people would share photos of like ombre hair designs and stuff that were CLEARLY photoshop like #you could LITERally see the coloring outside of the lines. blurs of color that extend past the hair line to the rest of the image #or etc. But people would just share them regardless and comment like 'omg i wish I could do this to my hair!' or 'hair goallzzzz!! i #wonder what salon they went to !!' which would make me want to scream and correct them everytime ( i did not lol) #hhhhhhggh... literally view the image on anything close to a full sized screen and You Will SEe #I don't know why it's such a pet peeve of mine. I think just as always I'm obsessed with the reality and truth of things. most of the thing #that annoy me most about people are situations in which people are misinterpreting/misunderstanding how something works or having a misconc #eption about somehting thats easily provable as false or etc. etc. Even if it's harmless for some random woman on facebook to believe that #this AI generated image of a cat shaped coffee machine is actually a real product she could buy somewhere ... I still urgently #wish I could be like 'IT IS ALL AN ILLUSION. YOU SEE???? ITS NOT REALL!!!!! AAAAA' hjhjnj #Like those AI shoes that went around for a while with 1000000s of comments like 'omg LOVE these where can i get them!?' and it's like YOU #CANT!!! YOU CANT GET THEM!!! THEY DONT EXIST!!! THE EYELETS DONT EVEN LINE UP THE SHOES DONT EVEN #MATCH THE PATTERNS ARE GIBBERISH!! HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THEY ARE NOT REAL!??!!' *sobbing in the rain like in some drama movie* #Sorry I'm a pedantic hater who loves truth and accuracy of interpretation and collecting information lol #I think moreso the lacking of context? Like for example I find the enneagram interesting but I nearly ALWAYS preface any talking about it #with ''and I know this is not scientifically accurate it's just an interesting system humans invented to classify ourselve and our traits #and I find it sociologically fascinating the same way I find religion fascinating'. If someone presented personality typing information wit #out that sort of context or was purporting that enneagram types are like 100% solid scientific truth and people should be classified by the #unquestionaingly in daily life or something then.. yeah fuck that. If these images had like disclaimers BIG in the image description somewh #re like 'this is not a real thing it's just an AI generated image I made up' then fine. I still largely disagree with the ethics behind AI #art but at least it's informed. It's the fact that people just post images w/o context or beleive a falsehood about it.. then its aAAAAAA

the worst part about being a pianist is that you can't just...simply take your instrument with you

#friends I am BEREFT #I was incredibly lucky to have my own piano for the last three years of college #and I mean like. someone gave it to me for free #and I also had access to a social network in the area + a pickup truck + my father who is an experienced piano mover and problem solver™ #but anyway I could not bring it with me when I left #and even if I could just manifest it here there is nowhere to put it in this house #that's the thing like. you can find pianos pretty cheap on facebook marketplace these days #but moving one is a whole ordeal #and then you have to have somewhere to put a whole piece of furniture #our living room is tiny :( #thinking I could maybe fit a keyboard in my bedroom if I could find one #but it's not the same... #anyway my best hope atm is getting door access to the church I attend #but I have yet to converse with anyone in a position to help me with that #and it's only a short walk which is nice #but still not the same as home piano #ik ik this is a very ''first world problem'' #but for most of my life I have been in the habit of playing almost every day #it's stress relieving! it's creative! it was...kind of loadbearing in some ways... #it's a very Jane Austen predicament. where's a secret fiancee to buy and deliver a surprise piano when you need one

there is apparently a facebook group of people who buy these little ladybug magnets that say "you got bugged" and put them on volkswagen beetles to get more people to join the group

and my car "got bugged" the other day, so i dusted off my old facebook account to join and see if anyone posted about bugging my car specifically, and the person had posted a picture and called my car a beauty 🙈

obsessed with how they all talk about cars in that group, there was literally a picture of the back of a vw car with the caption "nice rear end" and someone commented "sexy" like... i see you...

#*starts using facebook again just to look at beetles* #no but vw bugs and busses are my favorite cars ever in the whole world #and im so glad my first car that is Mine and not Borrowed From My Parents is a cute little bug #anyways the 'you got bugged' thing was cute 🤭 #🔌 #🚦

Since apparently we've stopped saying it often enough to catch Today's Lucky 10,000 and a lot more than that now need to hear it:

People using websites COSTS those websites money. Users do not directly translate into revenue unless the users are the PRODUCT that the website is selling on to other parties via ads or data harvesting.

Which is to say, the reason AO3 has funding drives is because they're not selling your porn-reading habits on to interested third parties. Please stop saying 'they should just make money like other websites.' I am fairly sure you do not really want them to do that. I certainly don't want them to do that. It's a voluntary drive; if you don't want to give you do not have to. The AO3 IRS won't get you on tax evasion.

Also like. You can care about more than one thing at a time. Your outrage and energy and give-a-damn does not have to focus like a laser on whatever you've deemed The Most Important Current Thing.

#I want to believe the people saying it are ignorant rather than malicious #and admittedly I'm not sure where you're meant to hear this if not from other actual people #because it's not as if facebook says 'yeah we're stealing every ounce of data we can get and following you around the internet' #'and selling everything we find to the highest 20 bidders' #I'm hoping people have already seen the other thread #but I don't like to platform shitty stuff and sometimes my ADHD ass only reads the first few lines of things #hence this having the most important part in the first 4 lines #I am a bit shocked anyone can make it to legal adulthood without realizing #that if something is 'free' under capitalism #there is usually a catch #and if it's 'free' and the company is making a shit-ton of money #there are probably SEVERAL #babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter)

The person who signed me up for my online course misspelled my last name even though I always spell it out to people because for some reason literally NOBODY knows how to fucking spell it so student services sent me an email and called me to tell me I need to send over some valid ID because they can't just... trust that I know how to spell my own fucking last name idk I can't believe I'm paying actual money for this what a fucking waste

#I know this might seem like a small issue but it's literally one thing after another with these people #they can't fucking spell my name right even when I spell it out for them #their assessments are convoluted #they don't allow students to take alternate exams #also have I mentioned the fact that their assessments were obviously written by a bunch of fucking morons? #improper use of tenses #USING A SLUR IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE DIVERSITY UNIT #If it was just a regular joe's facebook status I wouldn't care #but this is supposed to be and educational institution
