Casa de Explosive Quill

In the first paragraph alone, you have the sentence fragment often used for literary emphasis, then the two proceeding sentences that are both "rule of three" sentences.

Paragraph two is two short, choppy sentences followed by the "It's not x, it's y" format ever-so-slightly remixed.

In paragraph three, there isn't any specific structure I can pick out (which may be due to a gap in my knowledge), but all of the sentences have the same level of emphasis aside from the very last one, which itself is not emphatic because none of it is.

Then in the fourth paragraph the first two sentences also have that same flat level of emphasis, then the last sentence is a "rule of three" sentence. This entire post reads to me like it's trying to be literature when it really doesn't need to be.

I'm not outright accusing OP of using genAI to write this post. However, given the subreddit, the context, and what I'm seeing in the text itself, there is strong evidence to suggest that OP used genAI to write (or edit) their post about how they fucked up by relying on genAI to do their coding.

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

pyrrhic task: you can get it done but it's going to cost you

medean task: you can get it done and you don't care what it costs you

dionysian task: task that might not be -better- if you do it drunk, but -will- definitely be more fun

hegelochic task: it was a simple job, but your name will be recorded in the annals of history for how impressively you fucked it up

task of theseus: a project for which the parameters have changed so many times that you're not sure it IS still the same task

Sensory Focus: describing every single experience is going to overwhelm the reader. instead focus on those that stand out or actually advance the story.

Show, don‘t tell… unless you should tell: yes, usually showing is better than telling, but not everything needs to be packaged in wonderful words and metaphors. if it has no grander impact other than context or setting the mood, you can just say that the character is cold

Narrative Focus: depending on the narrator, the focus might be on different things. This can be influenced by interests, fears, emotional state, experience, ... (For example, someone who enjoys art/architectue/ fashion/... will focus on that particular aspect of their surroundings...)

Noticeable Abnormality: people are creatures of habit, they are unlikely to take conscious notice of things that are the exact same way they always are. Focus rather on things sensory experiences that are unusual; like an unusual scent when coming into a room, unusual heat, a car that doesn't fit into this part of the city, ...

Emotional State: someone‘s emotional state is going to influence how well they pay attention to their surroundings and which details they focus on (For example, someone who is frantic might miss details)

But moreover, people young and old do not realize that they're playing into the hands of billionaires and techbros (not mutually exclusive) by dismissing this. They want us to not be aware of these things, they want us to be too busy fighting each other to be blind to the fact that their greed and their egos keep us all down. And yet all the money in the world isn't enough for a select few of these people: they need to win the minds of the people they oppress, by force if necessary. But this is a tangent for another time. Regardless of the reasons, billionaires and techbros have designed these technologies to make people addicted to them, with disastrous consequences socially, politically, and economically. It is all despicable.

I want to add something: it is a bad faith response now for a myriad of reasons to say "do your research," or more specifically, to "just google it." For starters, recognizing reliable sources out in the wild is a skill most people do not have, and it is all too common for people to forget about libraries for actual research, let alone have the literacy required to parse it. But then you have the enshittification of the internet through so-called AI "search engines" that 1) absolutely cannot parse ideas worth a damn and 2) give misinformation or disinformation (worst case scenarios) more often than not with damaging consequences to the brain should the outputs be completely trusted. On top of that, the companies that OWN these AI search engines want you to believe their outputs are reliable, and therefore are complicit in spreading both misinformation and disinformation.

i've been watching the japanese dub of yugioh dm for the first time and it's somehow even gayer than the 4kids dub. the dialogue here has been only slightly altered for comedic effect, lmao.
