PLEASE reblog something every so often and/or change your avatar and blog design to make it clear you are not a bot. Bots have totally empty blogs, so empty blogs get reported and blocked - they usually also have no avatar or one that is a random person’s photo. Avoiding one or both of those makes it easier to avoid getting blocked and reported, which helps you have a better Tumblr experience.
every time I see the post full of long, enthusiastic replies that starts with these
I wonder how many people know that nostalgebraist-autoresponder was an AI bot trained on Tumblr
a bot who was absolutely beloved by a lot of people on Tumblr, who did their best to try to teach her to be a good person
#yeah she was a bot#so fucking what?#we loved her!
“So what” is that people who have a knee jerk dismissal of all AI/GPT as heartless cashgrabs by clueless techbros have no idea what they missed with Frank
Snake: Otacon, this lady dropped a piece of intel in regards to herself, do you know what “trans” means
Otacon: Snake, that’s short for the term “transgender” a phrase used for those who’s identity doesn’t align with their asigned sex, some use hormones or surgery to better fit their lifestyle
Snake: Chemical and Surgical modification huh? they’re like supersoldiers but they choose to change to fight for their own spirits rather than a nation…
Otacon: Remember snake, being “trans” is an umbrella label, many in the community identify beyond our common gender binary, including traditional cultural gender roles or wholly new ones
Snake: A wide variety of genders, such diversity not only make them unpredictable but increases practical versatility, impressive stuff
Otacon: oh this is just like Lily Hoshikawa from my Japanese animes
Snake leaves the box
Snake: You’re pretty good huh? this trans stuff sounds intense, you have my support as a fellow soldier
I don’t know if this is still a thing, but when I was a kid there was a stereotype that all dentists drive Porsches. Like all “all” statements, this one can be trivially disproven by finding a counterexample. Allow me to submit into evidence the example of my own dentist, who drives a 2021 Toyota Camry XLE in Resale Value White Metallic.
Sure, this Camry makes more horsepower than virtually all Porsche 911s throughout history ever made, and costs more than a large majority of them prior to the 80s, but it’s not about numbers. What people really resent is the idea that someone else, a trained and educated professional, is making money off their fucked-up, never-flossed teeth. Porsche owners have bank, and consider themselves to be a world apart from the people they’re forced to cut bad-smelling holes in the bones of every day. That’s the origin of the stereotype.
You can see similar complaints about the labour rate of the humble neighbourhood mechanic, but the stereotype doesn’t follow. The only difference is: no decent mechanic would ever be so dumb as to drive a Porsche to work. Not when they could instead operate some dangerous combination of half-completed engine swap, un-repaired crash damage, and loose wiring lying on the floor that they have to bonk together if they want turn signals. It was a good deal, you see. Instead, mechanics are painted as being straight out scammers. He told me I needed four new tires, but I was fine just replacing the worst one for a month or two before my car inexplicably slid off the road. Fucking liar.
Is there a kind of high-labour-cost service job out there that doesn’t receive complaints and stereotypes? Outside of “horse boarder,” I can’t really think of one. Perhaps the universal constant amongst all of humanity is to look at several thousand hours of education, and then go “hey, I could do that.” You can start right now by building your own 911. All it takes is one of those old rusty Beetles on the end of the junkyard, and a 302 out of one of those Lincoln Town Cars. Then you can really show your dentist what’s up, as long as you don’t bonk out your luxury bones on the steering wheel the first time you spin it into a ditch. Race car drivers are so overpaid.
There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3
recently found out about openverse which i think aggregates a bunch of creative commons images from flickr, wikimedia, nasa etc… pretty handy
The city of Midton was overrun with enormous man-eating slugs, and the superhero known as Coatimundi was staring anxiously at her phone.
“Was this your plan?” Black Knight asked, waving an armored hand at her.
“No!” she shot back, defensive. Small fluffy ears were pinned back to her hair in annoyance, her tail lashing. “This is the pre-plan. I’m setting a plan for a plan into motion.”
“We should regroup at the Plaza,” said Helen of Troy, sheathing her sword.
“Go ahead without me,” Coatimundi said, dragging her thumb over the screen to manually refresh.
“That’s not how regrouping works,” Black Knight pointed out. “If you’re trying to find someone else who had this problem, don’t bother—I already looked and it’s just one guy who marked his thread as resolved without posting what he did.”
you will probably not look like a skinny white anime girl when you transition you will likely look like someone’s mom and you need to realize how swag this is
I saw a picture of my mom last week and did a double take because we both realized how similar we look. skinny white anime girls are not real women but your mom is. I promise you look like a real woman
