Love-Hungry Monster

anyone else notice how when "digital assistants" were just supposed to do specific tasks when you asked for them we had Alexa and Siri and Cortana, but now that they're being marketed as smart enough to take actions and make decisions on their own they've got names like Claude and Devin

Ntbts fans on twitter are getting into the realm of genuine stalking I think it's time to wrap it up folks it was fun while it lasted but that's over now

I try to keep in my lane for the most part but I have to admit it's been pretty disappointing to see something that means so much to me become dominated by people with poor boundaries who feel like the blurring of the lines between reality and fiction in the format of the show gives them carte blanche to pry into the areas of people's personal lives they aren't deliberately making public. Is this symptomatic of covid-era social isolation or just an inevitability of something small-scale suddenly finding a much larger audience? I'm not sure. But regardless it's a violation of the crew's boundaries and especially a violation of the boundaries of the people close to them who are not public individuals. If you feel the need to spend your time hunting down private information on people you don't know personally, and then posting it publicly, you need to introspect on what you're doing and change your behavior.

I don't know which of you needs to hear this but "narc" is not short for "narcissist" when someone calls you a "narc" for snitching they are calling you a "narcotics officer"

technically narc isnt even short for narcotics officer its just cant for Cop, I believe Roma in origin

I read years ago in a book that it was derived from nakk, Romani for nose, as in someone who always has their nose in other people's business

ITS DERIVED FROM "NARCO" AS IN "NARCOTICS" WHAT FUCKING BOOK

Etymology is always doing some shit like this

Convergent evolution.

Linguistic crab

Two entire linguistic traditions have merged to remind you not to be a fuckin narc

why do men have this eternal fear of being used for money they don’t have lol

slime monster obama: my jello americans

Everything is embarrassing if you live your life through the eyes of others btw

it's sooo painful to take care of kids from a very young age and see them get to elementary school & start conforming to stereotypes to fit into groups... im really seeing a shift in the kids i babysit, especially those i see less often. it becomes harder to have a conversation, because caring about things is stupid, learning is stupid, being kind is stupid. i dont blame them, their environment doesn't reward curiosity or kindness, so it makes sense. i need to change the world and make acts of kindness the biggest trend of 2026...

#the worst is when a kid fucking dies #and his parents try to raise awareness that your kid could fucking die #but all they get is other parents telling them their kid died because he was bad at football
