AI replacing localizers is a proper use of AI.

#i watched my favorite series get shredded in localization #this is justice #it's not ideal but i'll take it #and yes i already understand enough japanese to escape #but that shouldn't be necessary #it's hard to not give into scanlating when coming across this #more than anything i want to support the creators #and i myself do #but the hardest part is seeing people who can't read japanese never having the chance to know the real stories #trying to have any sort of shared experience is impossible #because we read/watched totally different stories

There's no drama like World Cup drama

#a. if you insist on underestimating asian teams you have it coming #b. i have a truly unjustifiable amount of residual affection for luis suarez- #-provocative irritating mercurial luis suarez; consummate villain; who will never do what is right but will always do what is necessary #-and so of course i am delighted to see ghana bring him down in the end #'we're going out but we're taking you with us': less than ideal; better than nothing; par for the course for this world cup #heart attack machine #world cup 2022

#seeing technically all the romance routes in f/hr lined up has me reeling like how did it end up with so many. since when is it a dating sim #and I don't mean it in an impressed way because giving this much equal attention AND keeping it so you're never truly locked in/out #it's too much!! half of them aren't even necessary and you can tell!! #and adding more later when you've got even less time to flesh them out as they might need to be doesn't feel ideal either hdjshjf #how many of these got added because why not instead of them having something distinct enough to offer that works WITH the plot

Being mad and scared won't help. Donate. Advocate. But don't obsess. Don't do that to yourself. It won't help them. Horrible things happen in the world. But you still have to live your life. You have to live, and do good, and bring some light into the world. It won't help them any more than the obsession would, but you need balance. They need balance. They need to be able to think there's something out there worth fighting for. I need to be able to think there's something out there with living for. Don't let everything be hatred and misery. Donate. Advocate. And live.

do not be mistaken i am not a hardcore mileven shipper i am a HYPOTHETICAL hardcore mileven shipper in the HYPOTHETICAL that they were not mishandled at every turn🤗

#i will never not be upset about what could've been #i think the main problem is that they were so fucking rushed like #the thing that made them so special in s1 was that mike was always there for her. he pulled her out of the dark #if they hadn't immediately shoved them together to be “🤪boifwiend😩and🤩girlfwiend🥹” then el wouldn't have needed to break up with him #max wouldn't have had to interject and help el figure out who tf she is beyond mike's gf. #IF WE HAD TAKEN IT SLOW. that could've been mike! or at the very least her happiness wouldn't have to be a product of being without him #but because we didn't #they had to reduce mike to an asswipe to add necessary drama #(simultaneously screwing up his character) #there are so many things that could've been done differently that would've made them *amazing* #and i am just so crushed that we'll never get to have that. #..b-but #y'knoww.. #..despite thatt #as it issss #i will still stand by them and they still make me very happy #as it is the ideal scenario is for everyone to just acknowledge that this is what objectively should've happened #stranger things #mileven #stranger things ships

What a way to learn your ex coworker (one of your favorite ones too mind you) thinks everyone who says they're autistic is using it as an excuse for being rude to people

Like brother, people shouldn't HAVE to get diagnosed before you believe them (her actual words) getting diagnosed can actually be super harmful to the person being diagnosed, as it's often times used against us in various ways

Yes there are just shitty people in the world who WILL claim to be to cover up the fact that they're just shitty, but not EVERY person who says it does

#i will literally be the first to admit that i come off as a shitty person quite often/can be blunt more times than not #and once its pointed out to me i do apologize when necessary. its a thing ive got to learn to identify or try to avoid when possible #its never going to go away. thats not how it works #idk it just rubbed me the wrong way to hear her say that. feels like she thinks im just a shitty person #i dont even think she knows im autistic tbh and if thats the case im GLAD she doesnt know #idk a lot has happened recently in this specific vein of thought that just has me feeling exceptionally shitty about myself #like im doing my best with it and its still causing problems. its still hurting the people i care about. its fucking exhausting #and its incredibly frustrating. im literally trying SO HARD to be better and its not working out in a way thats ideal #and now everything just feels extra shitty #im so tired. thats all

#i want to be able to start leaving my phone outside my room at night but i CAN’T bc my old ikea alarm clock only beeps for a minute before #it turns off and i’ve never in my life been able to get up with it bc of that #also if possible i’d prefer one where i can set multiple alarms in intervals but the long ringing (+ loud enough for me to put across the #also ideally it’d be one where i could set multiple alarms in intervals but the long ringing (+ loud enough for me to put across the #room) thing is more necessary #.txt

also yes, even while im actively trying to get myself to work on writing my goddamned program, my brain still wants to work on my fic

#speculation nation #im not allowed to write fanfic rn which my brain is taking to mean i should do Planning instead #insufferable. absolutely insufferable. #ive opened the application though. gotta fetch my prior server code to build off of. #i just need to add threading to it to support more than one client at once. have it accept input that will be used in if statements #to see if it's the raspberry pi or the user connecting. and from there i need to do the actual image transfer shit. #so three main parts. the good news is i wont have to do anything more than image transfer. the bad news is i have never actually done it b4 #i have 5 hours left before i have to get ready for work. and if absolutely necessary i'll have a bit more time afterwards. #but not much time. it's 6 am rn. i work 12-4. and the files are due at 5. so. #11 am is my ideal cut off. we'll see lol. #the hardest part of all of this is the fact that i wont be able to fucking test it. i'll just have to go off of whether it compiles. #make something that compiles and then pass it off to raspberry pi dude to test it. sorry dude Genuinely that u got stuck with me #cant help that my mental health took a nose dive the past 2 months lmao

Like it sucks when fans r like omg ok well if you ignore this and this about this character they're actually not the worst but it's also like you have to recognize the authorial intent

#twist rambles #^ guy who saw ppl being like well actually s*nji pre thr*ller b*rk was super good. and it's like NO hes been like this since the beginning. #but people ignore that shit bc theyre like aww hes so gay/bi!!! and its canon #and its like you cannot think oda would put that shit in canon. like hes never canonically shown interest in men yk? but people just ignore #his actual character for an idealized version. which i understand but its also like you gotta realize thats his singular character trait + #until you start projecting shit on him. and to me its a thing of yes i can blame some of his pervyness based off of how we see oda act abt #women in the sbs stuff so u can def see like. there's not um a ton of respect there from what u can see. not saying oh wow well oda made+ #s*nji this creepy and he isnt rly like that but its also like u gotta factor it in of how the author paints him!! but then i see people + #using this kinda argument of well hes actually not transphobic he has trauma from being chased and it's like ok and it was necessary to + #make slur island exist and to be insanely transmisogynistic to give a sneak peek of his trauma. like the character IS transphobic there+ #is that there but also like. think about how oda treats trans ppl lmao #smth smth think critically have nuance abt characters pls #sorry im sleepy idk if this makes sense

z.ionism in the tags, tbd

#at this point #you have to wonder just how sacred this land really is to you if you're willing to do this much crime directly against g-d on and over it #i am studying quite a lot right now & reading a LOT about the zionist perspective bc it's an integral part of the books we are given tbh #and so much of the phrasing is about this yearning for what sounds like a completely understandable thing but the thing about it is #it's ancient and it's an ideal and the world has changed *so much* since that yearning took root #when it says we are meant to yearn for a return to isr.ael it makes so much more sense to conceptualize that as The People(hood) #it is *understandable* after everything that the people have been put through over history to want a safe returning point! yeah! #How Ever!!!!!!!! #in what FUCKING WORLD does it make sense to create an environment like this out of that place? to exemplify hypocrisy? #in class we literally study and talk so much about all sorts of historical events that are so similar #and about how amazing it rly is that the torah never actually shies away from the wrong that the ancient ppl have done #because it takes accountability in ways no other holy book does and it says ''we cannot ever do this again. we must never do this again.'' #how the fuck are so many people blind to the fact that this is the exact same thing as a Lot of the shit we already understand as wrong #i am just. beside myself constantly at the double standard it puts a sadness in my *bones* it makes me feel ill #the way the perspective is presented is absolutely like... you can see Why a lot of people attach to (and fall for) it. #it's presented in an appealing and touching and personal and *necessary* way. that is how it's phrased. #but it cannot possibly overshadow the reality of what's being done on that soil right now and what is happening to another People. #sorry but i cannot believe this is what my g-d wants. #a.txt #zionism tw #world #antizionism is not antisemitism! js!!!!

i hate living in the city the fact that it takes me an hour by public transport to get from one end to another is literally inhuman and cities should not be this fucking big. worst part is this literally a medium sized city </3

#one of the reasons why i will never move to bcn or madrid unless absolutely necessary #im already tired of zgz imagine living in a city with over 1m ppl. no thank you #i like uesca where it takes you 20 minutes walking at most to go from end to end #and ideal is my village where it takes you also 20 minutes but its bc of all the hills #and the fact ppl moved down to the outskirts a few decades ago #z xarre

Working on asks before bed to also add into the queue. Took me some time to look for what firearm Muu has again just for him to want to change the color of it. Reasons will be posted later but do know Muu has a carry license and at times at a specific pistol secured at his hip. Picture of pew pew under the cut for ease of mind:

#of course he would do something far from ideal in regards to conceal carry without layers #but he had his intentions and he wanted something vintage if it was a costly decision #; ♡ ; tw guns #I would say it never makes an appearance in threads unless necessary #and never into people's homes as he wouldn't visit in the first place if he didn't trust them

the responses i’ve seen to shiv’s ending seem very quick to write her off as just another sad victim of the cycle, which isn’t without truth BUT!!! that is not even remotely the summation of shiv’s story.

i don’t think she votes yes to “save kendall” or to try to finally set her brothers free. and i don’t think her main concern was that ken was becoming their dad. she absolutely noticed and didn’t love it, but that was not her motivation in betraying him. she was thinking about herself.

it’s tempting to make a martyr out of her as she is the only female child and we see her suffer the onslaught of misogyny that comes with that. but to make her into a saintlike figure who got beat takes away the power and intelligence behind her decision.

at this point she’s stuck between two non ideal choices, but she recognizes that they have accidentally made her the single most important player in the game. because while she can’t have the outcome she’d prefer, she has the power to decide the fates of everyone else. the written off lone woman now holds in her hands the fate of every man in her life.

so she thinks about the long term benefits of both options and realizes that one side leaves her completely without any leverage.

her brothers have proven to her multiple times in the last few days alone that they will cut her out and walk all over her the first chance they get. siding with them leaves her nothing to bargain with. she would just have to hope that ken would actually take care of her. and that level of vulnerability is not only unacceptable to her, it’s stupid. and shiv fuckin roy is not stupid.

so she thinks about the other side and about what she actually wants for her life. and against her better judgment, it’s becomes unfortunately clear that she wants tom. the way she wants him is not altogether loving or even good but it is necessary to her. she sees relationships as having winners and losers and she chose this man specifically so that she could be confident in her ability to win. except now he’s grown some balls and made himself unavailable to her.

she may not like the way her husband is evolving but she already placed her bets on him, so she’s sure as hell not losing to him now. there’s also a part of her that feels intrigued by this new man she’s married to. it’s interesting to have a sparring partner in him instead of having to looking for excitement outside of their marriage.

so for maybe the first time ever, she processes what tom has said to her and thinks about what he actually wants.

he needs her to prove that she cares. he needs to know that she is capable of sacrifice. if she can’t find it within herself to do this for him, then she will lose him, and by extension, she will lose.

siding with tom gives her the opportunity to once and for all make a grand-stand gesture of love, but more importantly, it creates leverage for her. never again will he be able to hold the moral high ground over her head. never again can he say she doesn’t love him. never again can he call her selfish or uncaring. above all, he can never betray her again, because she just removed all of his moral justification for turning on her. he doesn’t realize it yet, but she’s just taken back all the power in their relationship. just in a more subtle way than she’s used to operating.

and just like that, she has the ceo of a multi billion dollar company in her pocket, while situating herself as the only descendant of logan roy to still be playing the game, having removed her brothers from the equation permanently. she may still be far from the top but she’s creating a path for herself to climb.

so yes, she’ll let tom play king for a day, and she’ll have his baby and say “congratulations,” and play the gracious wife, but tomorrow is a new day with lots of room to maneuver. and when her husband puts out his hand, she’ll place her own on top. but she won’t grasp it because she doesn’t need to.

#🐺 #shivy’s gonna be just fine #okay this ended up being a very long post but #i feel like someone needed to point out her wins #also i’m fully aware that remaining in the toxic world of the family business is not a win rly but #i think her ending is being interpreted as powerlessness #which it is NOT #she chose her spot. she’s calling shots #she may not have won today but she sure as hell didn’t lose #let’s not work so hard to sanctify her that we remove everything about her that makes her such a brilliant character #succession #shiv roy #siobhan roy #scn #tv
