I love when they give MC a good bestie!!! So many otomes she's just, like, in a sea of LIs and maybe one is her childhood friend (and also an LI! 😭)

😎

~ my favorite otome tropes ~

Pretty boy who is his own biggest fan
Huge flirt who is also a dork
Straightforward hard-working guy (often also megane but not always)
The sassy one
Bitch with a heart of gold

well you couldn't watch things in the future for one thing

you should watch this
tomorrow

Challenge for those who are very confident that a can of Cream of Mushroom soup isn't conscious: Explain how human consciousness works.

damn, if the Childcrusher 5000 GTX pickup truck owners can’t afford gas, how are they going to be able to tote their massive loads of a single loaf of bread and a canned Starbucks latte

One of the more depressing aspects of the GLP-1 stuff right now is how utterly inescapable it is. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, there are people shrinking at alarming rates, and endless discussion of said shrinking. There's seemingly no place to just *rest.*

This is another AI thing that makes me wonder how people can just trust the outputs?
Professors....don't work like this? Like at all? And I find it concerning that people think they do
The idea that the work of educators is just readily predictable and quantifiable is cynical beyond my comprehension

hehe

damn this should post be in a museum

I'm staying fat out of sheer spite at this point

this looks so good
thank u 🙏

I mean, realistically you're not going to like every song and wouldn't having preferences mean you have deep feelings for the band?

And the thing is, nobody asked them to do this, nobody wants them to do this
It's a challenge they made up because they're so cut off from normal people

Like all AI bullshit, this is annoying because it enforces the standards of what *owners* think, not customers.
Saying "please," "thank you," etc. - forced WASPy politeness is annoying enough at regular stores, it definitely is not needed at the get a burger in five minutes store

Food shaming and fat shaming has never solved a single problem.

It’d be cool if progressives didn’t point to fat people like “We can all agree this is a public policy failure…”

Grandpa: "Ya did great out there, sport"
Onyx: "This better not be some bullshit from Outside"
Coco: *concern*

Come on man, you're Burger King; I don't want employees saying please and thank you; I just want you to keep selling that box with all the sides in it

😭
In Vol. 4 of the original series, you just had to data drain *everything*
And data draining too much leads to Game Over so I was just like "good effort, CyberConnect2, see ya later"

are you still playing .hack?
in the first series, i went from loving the first volumes to the last volume being so annoying that i quit; never played GU for this reason

Lately, yeah! I used to pre-order otomes if they looked good, but now I don't really have time to play games when they release so I often just buy the digital when it goes on sale

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

damn, it makes me want to get into physical otome again

Anyway don’t get married to a man who puts power tools on your wedding registry.

aside from the obvious grossness on display (i.e., not how any of this works/some kid eating a steak isn't the same as data centres drinking all the water on the planet/etc.) i am fascinated by the implication that you eat food for 20 years and that is how you become intelligent
