Hey, hey! RnR not requested! (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #DAX #ZEX #Does anyone still use RnR lol #I think I was a little too late for that but in my brief stint on FF.net I did get a couple reviews so *shruggles* #ANYway lol #The topic of VUX poetry came up and it would not leave me alone #But at the same time it is so hard to English-phoneticize VUK ZIX into my preferred poetry method! #So I gave up and went with a playground chant lol #I also wasn't sure which direction it would be read in apart from bottom-up :0 #Japanese is top-down right-to-left so maybe it's inverse?? I don't know! #That's what I went with this time anyhow lol #Also making up rules on the spot lol - ''a'' is always contextually inferred by its surroundings #Have I thought about the implications of inferred subject/singular vs. plural phrasing? No! Give me some time tho ♪ #Lol #I have also pretty firmly come to the conclusion that -ing sounds just aren't a thing lol #At least not written and not comfortably spoken #You could force the sound but it's exactly what it says on the tin - forced #So the rhyme-scheme is a bit funny haha - that rhyme doesn't translate at all! But it is still fun to write a little ship-poem hehe #ZEX does not approve but it's not his poem is it! Tentacles to yourself! Don't stick your trunk where it's not wanted! #I do love when DAX is silly and lovestruck haha

hey remember when ursula le guin said that in her fictional anarchist conlang the verb for to have sex is intransitive and must take a plural subject? that was cool.

#reading about Ancient Greek vocabulary for sex and it is of course the polar opposite #highly transitive; strongly singular; carefully delineated into active/passive subject/object #mine

only one of them is bruised and bloody bc the other is a woman and therefore not allowed to stop being sexually desirable even while being tortured

#stranger things #st #i have a lot to say on this subject #this is just a singular example btw this is something that annoys me in a lot of media

The power of Spamton is truly amazing.......... It’s not only has he upstaged characters like Queen and Swatch for the title of the Deltarune Sex Symbol, I think the more impressive achivement is that has also somehow upstaged Asgore for the position of the Deltarune Divorce Mascot

#deltarune #spamton #spamton g spamton #spamton deltarune #asgore #asgore dreemurr #asgore deltarune #I mean sexiness is at the end of the day subjective #but objectively #Spamton is not the one divorced as a goddam multiversal singularity

As much as I love the endless mockery of Ben Shapiro’s bad takes on Glass Onion, I am compelled to point out his actual reasons for going off on this movie in particular because, appropriately, his motivation has layers.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, Ben Shapiro is not an idiot unaware that whodunits misdirect people. The reason he is sloppily complaining about a well-executed movie is because it has politics he doesn’t like and - more importantly - it’s proven to be a pretty popular and successful piece of media.

As the preeminent smart boi of the conservative grift-o-sphere, Ben has to respond to Glass Onion. It doesn’t matter that his criticism of its plot or writing makes him look stupid. He just needs to temporarily pretend for the length of a Twitter Thread that misdirects and tropes are “lazy writing.” As a far-right reactionary, Glass Onion demands...well. A Reaction.

Sure, people are mocking him - a failed writer of two extremely bad political thrillers - for his bad takes. Ben Shapiro is okay with looking foolish, because we and the rest of the people ribbing on him aren’t his intended audience. He’s the master of Youtube sound-bites and talking fast at college kids who have less media training than him. His bona-fides as a smart opinion haver has been well established as far as his millions of followers are concerned.

No, Ben’s role in the conservative ecosystem is to say stupid phrases like “Musk is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in human history” in his movie criticism so the people who believe that bullroar can emphatically agree and be reassured that ‘popular thing is bad.’

Meanwhile, the pundits like Ben who don’t really believe the crap they’re saying have to loudly pretend to believe it because it’s their job. It’s why Ben vocally denounced Trump as a dangerous candidate...until he became the frontrunner and it became disadvantageous to be a Trump critic. It’s why he defended Kanye West’s clear anti-Semitism...until the Hitler-stanning incident made it impossible to spin.

Because no matter what, Ben’s gotta maintain his position in the conservative ecosystem so he can hold on to those old, flabby, golden, oil-fracking billionaire titties.

#as funny as it is to imagine Ben as a fool #he's far worse than that #this dude has been to law school #he's not as much as an idiot as he pretends to be #but as a professional 'intellectual' propagandist Ben has to talk fast #talk confidently #concede nothing #and pretend the nonsense shit he's saying is true #even if he disagrees with it #*especially if he doesn't agree with it* #Glass Onion #was trending and it's anti-billionaire #Ben is a man whose livelihood and status depends on the patronage of billionaires #of *course* he publicly jumps on that grenade and makes a performative fool of himself #so his audience can instead debate all the finer points of...writing and the structure of whodunnits #ANYTHING but discuss wealth inequality and how demonstrably stupid the likes of Musk or Zuckerberg #have been acting as of late #having bad opinions in public and changing the topic of discussion is Ben's job #instead of arguing about trans rights he'll tell lies about the history of the singular They #and change the subject to 'how the Left is trying to change language JUST LIKE 1984 ISN'T IT JUST LIKE 1984' #and then boom just like that the core of the issue - the personhood and rights of trans people - is forgotten #he attacks black women musicians who sing about sex and people spend more time mocking the implication that he's never made his wife wet #once you realize his game #it's pretty easy to spot the real conversation he's desperately trying to distract people from having #even if he has to look like a fucking clown #the mockery isn't accidental #it's a strategy #Ben Shapiro #Twitter #Propoganda

Everyone's on about Miguel beefing with a 15 yo, which sure it's funny, but y'all are letting the Spot, "I now declare this child that MY INVENTION inflicted this anomalous occurrence on, my lifelong nemesis", the ULTIMATE beef haver, to go unchecked.

#spireverse spoilers #across the spiderverse spoilers #you know at least miguel has the excuse that 15yo or not Miles's actions might cause TWO whole dimensions to collapse #assuming both pavitr's and miles' own dimension have a similar population to ours #thats SIXTEEN BILLION LIVES at stake babes #yah like no i'd also be going kooky crazy in his shoes #ofc his handling of Miles' situation wasn't good but that's not. precisely his job? Breaking the news shouldve fallen on Peter and Gwen #yanno. his actual friends? but they skirted around the subject too much so woops it falls on Miguel now #the most emotionally unsuited for this task guy possible. woopsies. #get ready for the most projection filled fight of your life kid cause it sure is cheaper quicker and easier than therapy! #I jest and the projection part is true but tbh i think too many people in the tags are interpreting Miguel being antagonistic to the rest- #as him having personal beef with children instead of him focusing (too much) on the bigger picture. like..isnt that his entire personality? #the 'fate of the multiverse' guy? cmon now. #the main issue is that miles Does Have To TRY- that's part of the canon event in the first place #trying and failing. if his plan of keeping him trapped until jeff died had worked then his dimension would most likely also collapse #if anything the way things are set up rn is sooo interesting because miles IS precisely on the way to fulfill a canon event #the question is - are they going to play into that- or is there going to be a twist. Gwen's realization that Her dad could in fact Quit - #comes to mind #i for one would find it really funny if the plot of the next movie is trying to convince jeff to quit his job but i doubt it jxnsn #my guess is that since this is basically the variation of the trolley problem where the singular person on the tracks is one you care about #(but said person is simultaneously also on the 5 person rail because if they don't die everyone does) #and miles has decided to just go and stop the fucking trolley itself fnsjsj #the plot's gonna go a bit more all out . /Beyond/ the previous scope- if you will #the only sticking point i have with this movie in general though is pavitr sticking with the group like. #“obviously he would've stuck with miles- he wouldn't want the guy to die!”so you think he prefers the version of events where everyone does #his friends? his aunt - whatever family he has- his girlfriend? EVERYONE? #yeah like nah until he can solidly know that shits gonna be fine in his home world i don't think it makes sense for him to fuck around more #yanno? #not that I dont want to see more of him- on the contrary I fuckin love his design to bits #just saying if miguel drops the bomb that his universe collapsed and my guy switches sides i would not be surprised

"AI can make art without human interaction because at the end of the day, it does exactly what humans do with art - break each new piece of art down to the quantifiable basis vectors that you've implicitly constructed about 'art in general' and then faithfully reproduce a new observation of that 'art in general' by smoothly interpolating between observed instantiations of those basis vectors.

You know, like how humans do"

#the joke is that it can be argued that if you do art like an ai youre not necessarily doing art youre producing commodities #assumption being that 'art' stands in an internal tension with a society whose subjectivity is shaped by the commodity form #which i think is pretty inarguable - the argument is over how that tension can be reconciled #i think a salient difference to point out that distinguishes human from ai is the countability of the set of basis vectors #i wouldnt disagree that humans do 'break down' art in some capacity - otherwise 'style' would be entirely singular #the point is really 'how many numbers are there between 0 & 1?' #'how many subcategories are these qualia broken down into?' #i think creativity & externality depend on uncountably divisible qualia #some kind of infinity needs to sneak in somewhere to point to the outside #all this to say @ anon lol for thinking ai is like an ontological evil #but also lol @ anyone who treats the form of AI as isomorphic to the form of human activity #taylor series can absolutely objectively represent certain analytical functions - as long as the error is monotonically negative #ie so long as each subsequent member of the series 'gets closer' to a natural representation of the analytic function #mandatory disclaimer for new followers: #human use of ai for artistic purposes is art - ai cannot generate art without human interaction at some point in the sequence #ideology of the blackbox is the same as the ideology of plug-and-chug #(i know theyre the same because they transform similar inputs to similar outputs!) #& im on mobile so cant move this tag back up but i dont necessarily agree w the maximalist take of 'commodified art isnt art' #but i also think there is a qualitative difference between commodified art & non commodified art #& the ai form is actually pretty isomorphic to the value form in general imo #it cant replace all human labor but it couldnt replace any concrete human labor ... #...if that concrete form of labor hadnt become reducible to that which can be reached through gradient descent #also if u argue that the black box of 'ai breaking down art to make new art' is isomorphic to 'human breaking down art to make new art' #then an implication of that is that ai ***can make art without human interaction*** #otherwise if the blackboxes are isomorphic then why have humans in the loop? whats the qualitative difference? #the proper framing is seeing ai as an augmentation of the decision cycle of humans instead of having a 'decision cycle' themselves

BTW this is not to anyone, it's just a general i wanna just say Thang, calling people BUT MEN ESPECIALLY 'mother' or like 'my wife' my girlfriend u know u know. im not sayin the spicier examples.

does NOT , listen, N O T A L W A Y S mean

THEY ARE A BOTTOM!!!!!!!!! (The kind of bottom I'm talking about is the simplified, singular watered down version usually straight (eerily) young people love to throw away as an 'insult'. Which just emphasizes what im intending here.)

that perpetuates an already problematic perpetuated mindset THAT CAN NOT JUST BE 'AUTOMATICALLY EXCLUDED' just because IT ISN'T BEING USED IN THE CONTEXT IT ORIGINATED FROM. Serge ibaka is mother. DeMar is mother. But they also be bangin out bratty ass mfs on a daily basis like the shit is clockwork. Both can be done. that is all i wanted to get out there. ty. gootbye

#reminder people be gay and misogynistic like. #making only one thing ur entire personality is not good when everyone is meant to be multi-faceted #like as much as the brain might try and simplify things for it to help make some sense.... #like being born and not rlly knowing where everything is in the body or whats it #...stuff knows. like. YOU might not know.. but you do. #and u dont #at the same time #if yall can have both on a matter that is so fuckin complex #yall can have both on a subject as stupid as the nickname #which yes is stupid sounding but ALSO yes deserves respect because words have meaning and meaning has power #as 'fun' or weird as they may sound to people who might not be as familiar with the meanings (COUGH at 'tiktok' AAVE..) #babygirl does not ALWAYS only mean!!! BTTM!! SO IT SHOULD NOT ALWAYS BE USED AS THAT #brat as well #like let things have personalityy.. let abstract things be abstract!! #ESP if ure gonna have to put it out into the world where it exists way wider than outside ur understanding #i get needing to simplify things. trust me im stupid. but when it's going past the self as this very cut down singular thing.. #it's might not have the reaction u prepared urself for n then upsets happen #ANYWAYSS #people do NOT have to be PATHETIC to be a bottom like. cmon now. is this shit ancient rome or smthin THIS IS BACKWARDS THINKIN IN THE #be open to understanding theres a more to things. that doesnt mean know everything #know that u cant know everything!! know theres probably more than one peculiar to things! just be aware! be open n also be careful #yall can have BOTHHHHH !!!! yall can have MOREEEE!!! why yall goin hungry when a FEAST is UPON YOU?? #dom m*mmies.. power bttms.. dom bttms (boms lol) ETCETC!!! tops can have personality too!! besides SEXY or D*DDY like. #IT'S SO SILLY HAVING TO SAY THIS bcs it ISSSSS but it needs to be KNOWN !! it just goes to show how vast the emphasis on more meaning is #cus if i can say this much on some silly soundin shit... imagine when i speak on sumn serious

hrm ok albedo thoughts fuck

subject two -> created whopperflowerbedo, with the intention of discarding it/having it be defeated, ie it was meant to die or fail from the onset, vs rhinedottir -> created subject two, who was deemed imperfect and a failed experiment, ultimately also leaving him to die inside durin...... hm..... my guy....

#i love circular narratives. or whatever it's called. the guy is not ok #i know a singular bedo liker and like i think get it now #teyvat thoughts #albedo #subject two #dorian #shame im not very updated on khaenriah lore cus i feel like the bedo kae dain tart(aglia) liker circles are like. 100% intersections of e/o #but im rlly just here for some synthetic human narrative parallels #shadows amidst snowstorms

bitches be like "babygirl you are so neon green" and assign you that color of sticky note

It's me. I'm bitches.

#sorry but I do not control the color of your vibes #it's like assigning a color folder to the subject #but with anything I might need to write down ever #and my extensive collection of post-it notes and stationary #me seeing a pack of sticky notes the exact color as the shirt my friend wore that one singular time: #awooga awooga guess what color I will always associate with you forever #spicy brain bingo

Working on a fic still and laughing at these absolutely absurd conversations Bro and Dave have. But also lmao, Dennis from Game Bro with his broken thumb.

They're so fucking dramatic, and oh my god I just realized this probably makes zero sense at all, out of context. Idk how to convey how hilarious this moment is to me, without the miles of words written beforehand. I just need to laugh about it publically lol.

#basically theyre pretending that dave is married with kids and cheating on them with bro at this theme park #but there is no wife and kids theyre just saying that to fuck with someone next to them #bro/dennis is unrequited unfortunately #man this fic is taking forever to write #if u saw the hohohomewrecker comic panel i did on xmas this is still the same fic #wip #homestuck #stridercest #i have no idea what my wordcount is at right now and honestly im scared to find out #the page numbers are for samsung notes not actual page lengths #i wish i had the courage to start posting chapters but i keep going back to edit singular words so its not practical to post anything.. #..until the entire story is complete #Cori.exe #Post.exe #suggestive #also disclaimer this is subject to change lmao i am indecisive as fuck #just wanted to laugh about dave teasing bro about having a thing for the game bro dudes #god i already see like 3 things im gonna change but i need a break lmao #also since the subject is stridercest its already written into the intro that the thing dave jerks off to in privacy is bros live action p.. #..orn which bro has pointedly kept away from dave but when u live with a ninja u learn to be sneaky and dave definitely dug it up #like the smuppets were fair game but bro made an actual effort to keep the irl stuff hidden and has no idea what daves actually seen

i've been studying for 8 hours for a month-ish and i think i know why so many scholars are insane

#i'm at the point where i'm convinced i could win a full ride scholarship in any european college or ivy league #you have a singular text book for a subject? cool #i have 6 #+7 literature works per genre #(non applicable to poetry. i have tons of poems compiled in one text book) #i could be at the top of your class and steal your scholarships #with my dirty latin american hands. i just prefer my college #zyan ted talks

#i can actually he's a wine lady #genshin #genshin spoilers #but to explain my sudden fit of giggles as i was playing through the event quest #'enchanté(e)' is french for 'pleased to meet you' #but it's a past participle #and bear with me through the grammar lesson it's funny with the explanation i promise #in french past participles that go with 'be' reflect the gender of its subject and whether there's only one or more #by adding an 'e' at the end if the subject is feminine or/and an 's' if the subject is plural #here as kaeya speaks it's written as 'enchantée' #which is the singular feminine form #tldr they accidentally made him a woman #it's a silly little mistake but my GOD is it fucking funny if you know french
