#Comparing fractions

[bicheetopuff]

I think the people complaining about AFOs back story have forgotten what his character represents.

He’s a manipulative rich old man that wants to own and monopolize every major resource in the world so that he can be considered a god.

His entire being is a metaphor for major corporations and every politician and billionaire ceo ever… so him being a narcissistic and greedy kid isn’t at all surprising. He doesn’t have a traumatizing backstory because he’s a manipulative power hungry chump like he has been the entire series.

#he literally grooms children to his dirty work for him #he’s taken over orphanages and hospitals to create mindless monsters to do his labor for free #he’s manipulated people by giving them fractions of power so that they’ll bend to his will #he’s irredeemable and idk why people are surprised #also you mfs trying to compare him to Katsuki need to reread the series #there’s a difference between a spoiled kid dwelling in the praise he received from adults around him #and whatever the fuck afo is #Katsuki didnt fucking kill people #and he was never a narcissist #he wanted to be top hero because he was told his whole life that he could be #also Katsuki never viewed Deku as his property wtf are y’all on #bnha #bakudeku #bkdk #bnha spoilers #bnha 407

YOOOOOOOO

#3k which is steep but when compared to other sls is like....a fraction #someone in the comments said 'dangerously close to consumer pricing' #can imagine it halving in a couple generations.... #how much is the powder tho 🧐 #Youtube #'i decided to build my own slicer' xkcd 10 competing standards dot png

Tattoo session officially booked for Sept 2!!! Had the hour long in person consult this morning, artist was super sweet and seemed genuinely really excited to do the project. It's a full day (8 hr) session so it's not the cheapest, but not unreasonable given artist experience, selected style, HEALTH AND SAFETY STUFF, time spent on design, etc

Like I am so fuckin nervous and almost threw up this morning but the artist was SO kind and lovely and non judgemental, of this goes well I'll want her to do my whole half sleeve tbh

#franposting #also like. it's a lot of money but ive been saving for eons and its only a tiny fraction of what i have saved #and when you compare it to like. rent prices. its like. oh. well in the grand scheme of things this isnt even half a months rent so #if i have to live with my parents im at least spending SOME of the money ive saved #esp worth paying well for health/safety and also smthn that will yknow. be on my body forever #its at the same studio a friend had work done at recently and she had a fantastic experience #so im comfortable going there #im just!!!!! #parents will be unhappy but oh fuckin well! i know i can never be good enough for them anyway #also like. go big or go home. this is a significantly sized upper arm piece to anchor my eventual half sleeve #upper arm tho so its easy coverage with a rolled sleeve cardigan during the warmer months #bc yknow. workplaces. all that bullshit #after my consult my friends came over we drank and watch part of s2 sab and bitched about terrible fantasy novels #and how from blood and ash is basically just sjm tropes but worse so ofc we have to read it for trashy bookclub #ive already been warned about all the nsff (not safe for fran) scenes im gonna have to skip lmao #but we love sitting around tipsy garbage talking mediocre books #anyway off to play bg3. tmrw is church. nonnas. grocery store(?). pathfinder #still havent meal planned whoops

what if I spammed the dash with tamaki pics I’ve collected from my manga reading. what if

#I’ve already been spamming Anna and she’s seen a grand total of four (4) episodes. lmao #I’m so sorry to anyone who has to be my friend:( I’m so annoying #also to anyone who follows me<3 at least it’s like a small fraction #compared to my old blog #lol #ohshc

i keep forgetting how long ago mark’s dyed hair was

i clicked on a video from 4 years ago and he doesn’t look all too different from how he looks now

you guys he hasn’t had dyed hair in 6 years

and his dyed hair phase only lasted like a year and a half

i could’ve sworn his hair was dyed for so much longer than that

#markiplier #i COULD turn this into a post about the psychology of aging #and how time feels like it passes a lot quicker when you’re older bc one year is a smaller fraction of ur life when ur 20 compared to 10 #but i won’t

[padawansuggest]

I made a roast. It’s got soft potatoes and firm carrots (carrots in all forms are my fave root veggie ever it’s all good to me lmao) and roasted but still firm broccoli, which to me and dad is like. Perfect. This is the perfect meal. Im just really proud of myself cause I have a tendency to overcook the meat (which to most of you would be burnt beyond saving but honestly I like anything that is past medium rare lmao I’m One Of Those People) while the potatoes are still firm in the middle which is my least fave potato, lol.

Anyways. I also posted a 12k Marvel fic where Peter (not movie verse lol) brings Bucky back to the tower less than two weeks after CAWS:

#I’m putting a link here cause no one ever comments on my marvel shit lol it’s really sad 😅 #so maybe if I widen the net- #anyways people in the sw fandom comment like crazy and I love it but marvel just. doesn’t. #it’s very sad #lol btw that’s exaggeration it’s not NO one but it’s fractional compared to the sw comments I get lol

i always tell myself NOT to look at notes, but i can’t help it when i see that something apparently has over 1k notes— and for a second im like “:D” until i realize the actual details of that number.

1k is just likes (and AGAIN this is tumblr, likes don’t mean anything)

100 are actual reblogs

and, well this is the worst offender really because I found myself actually counting,

20 of those reblogs actually have yknow… fun tags which is what I actually am able to see and feel some sort of interaction with.

So yeah. I really shouldn’t actually look at the number of notes to any post at all.

#cozy texts #so in essence it really is like… #1000 people seeing but only about 20 actually say something #i shouldnt compare a few years ago to now BUT a few years ago likes primarily meant saving to reblog later #but things are now content farms so now its ‘haha like’ then leave. #but shoutout to the 1/10th fraction anyway who do spread

Thinking about image model generated art and gifmaking is giving me some weird vibrations about how there really is some weird association of the virtuesvirtues of a medium with the virtues of the people working in it. Gifmaking being associated with KPop fans doesn't make the concept of frame interpolation racist, and someone marketing themselves as a cheaper alternative to some other artist doesn't make the concept of generative art inherently class antagonistic.

It's somehow reminiscent of CJ the X's distinction between "stupid art" and "evil art", how a medium that has a low skill floor can produce things that are very stupid and easy to perceive as low-effort but how that's not the same as them having something wrong with them. If you look at my animation tag, most of it is motion graphics done with AfterEffects, and while it's probably wrong to call it a low skill floor program the way an AI art generator is... there is still a world where instead of programmatically telling shapes to whizz by on a screen, a different Van would have drawn those same animations frame by frame, producing exactly the same animation.

And I don't think the fact that I did them programmatically somehow invalidates the artistic intent that went into them, y'know? I could open AE right now and produce a 250x250 looping gif of clouds and while I know how to do that quick, to make it look good and to make me like it, I would have to spend time considering how the various elements, colours, timings and whatever the particle system/noise generator I use spits out fit together. I would have to fiddle with seeds and levels and timings to make it look good. I would have to spend a long time just staring and thinking about what I'm making before I could make it good.

I don't know enough about generative art tools to know how much fiddling goes into them once they're taught and ready to go, but I do know enough about deep learning to know it's a haphazard, frustrating process that you as the artist have only limited control over, which is why it doesn't appeal to me. But I have made gifs in the past, and I know how that process requires an eye for consistency and composition, framing and colour that a lot of other visual artists don't have because they're not working with time as one of the creative dimensions.

And like... who am I, from my high horse as someone in possession of these skills, to tell someone who is still developing these skills or who has a different aesthetic concept of what is good than me, what they're making is low-effort. That's not my judgement to make. I didn't make it. Only the artist themselves can say if somehing was low-effort or not. I don't see why I should have so little faith in other artists to assume they have no interest in putting in any effort.

#van stuff #and if someone only wants to use their artistic drive to make things #with as little energy as they can #that's a valid artistic goal too #why do writers sometimes do drabbles? #why do incredible visual artists post loving renderings of memes? #why do people meme on their own work? #Everyone has art in them #sometimes we have art that exceeds our creative stamina #and sometimes we have art that uses only a fraction of our power #and I think comparing the two is #like #... like you sound kind of fascist. You sound like people to this day being mad about the Fountain #Nobody is expected to like any art #God knows most AI stuff does literally nothing for me other than provoke a deep discomfort #something trying that hard to mimic reality just sets off my unreality sensors #but whether we like something #and whether effort went into it #and whether something is comparatively better than some other thing #are three different conversations

This blog chose people over a video game

#seriously. #the choice is literally a product or real people’s right to exist #I chose not to buy a product that perpetuates antisemitism #people matter #and a video game doesn’t #fuck hogwarts legacy #fuck jkr #trans rights #human rights #humans over corporations #people over products #it’s really not that hard #to look at a product and see that it’s value is a fraction of that of a single person #it’s value is practically nonexistent compared to multiple communities of people

recent irritation of mine is when americans act like their country is the only country That is Big and it takes a long time to get places

#“haha in the usa you can drive for six hours and still be in the same state/region!!” Yes That is True Here As Well #when i used to go home to visit my mother in 2019 (she lives in the same region as i did) it took me 7 hours #that is not including the waiting around for buses and ferries because i didnt have a car at the time #and my country is a fraction of the size of the usa. we just have really bad car infrastructure in my region specifically #but like compare the usa's driving infrastructure to russia or brazil or australia #its different. and those countries are the same size or bigger than the usa #if anything its very fast to get where you need to go in the usa

the really long post talking about transfem experiences with tmes / queer "inclusive" spaces is still haunting me

#i can identify how my own behavior changes around transfems compared to other tmes and its #been eating at me at how i couldve acted differently or confronted my internalized transmisogyny head-on #im going to try and discuss it with my tme friends soon #me being uncomfortable in sitting in my own realizations is literally like. the bare minimum. and like a fraction of the uncomfort #transfems have to bottle up and injest in “inclusive” spaces like those

I watched Knock At The Cabin and I'm not sure how I feel about it but it was better than I expected. I mean, at this point with M Night Shyamalan I just go in prepared for deep disappointment, and I didn't get that!

#knock at the cabin #m night shyamalan #or according to my dictation app #I'm not sure I'm all in #which isn't that far off really #I mean it's exactly how I feel about his movies #after the shitty ending to unbreakable #I mean otherwise unbreakable was a great movie #I truly enjoyed signs but I know a lot of people didn't either because the religious stuff was too much or because why the hell #would aliens who can't come into contact with liquid water without severe injury #come to this planet of all places #but hey maybe it's only fresh liquid water! #maybe saltwater/ocean water are just fine! #and they thought liquid fresh water is only a tiny fraction of what exists on our planet compared to saline #they can totally avoid it! #I didn't hate the village I appreciated what it was trying to do but still it was a little clunky #somehow I totally missed the one with Mark Wahlberg and the killer trees #definitely did not see his Airbender one #did see the girl in the water and again that was okay but also meh #I can't go into all the reasons why because I don't remember #except that again he does tend to be a wee bit heavy handed with the spiritual themes #which I guess happened again here in knock at the cabin #but Jonathan groff did his groffing and that redeemed a lot if it #jonathan groff #!!!! #and I do always love the Philadelphia and neighboring counties references #looks like peacock also has the sixth sense so he thinks I'm going to rewatch that one #poor M Night Shyamalan his first movie is still his best #it's not even a contest
