ohhh man. apparently when you copy+paste stuff directly from claude into ao3 it includes code. which anyone can find. people have found it in big, popular fics in multiple fandoms 😬. also heated rivalry; some of which the authors fervently denied using AI. link to thread.

welp. guess who's got two thumbs and just added

I think, logistically, if you put them in a fight, Arthur Lester would beat David Ward to a bloody pulp any day of the week, under literally any circumstances, no sweat. However, whilst David could survive Malevolent, Arthur could not survive even one week in Eskew.

Not to be rhe ten millionth person to say “USAmerican President Donald Trump Is An Incoherent Public Speaker Whose Train Of Thought Can Be Best Described As Scat Jazz” but I just remembered that when he talks at international events it is several dozen people’s job to translate what he’s saying and what he intends to say to world leaders in real time

International translators have had this problem for A While - if they *don't* clean up what he says to sound coherent, they look like they're doing a bad job.

5. Sensitive and Controversial Language Trump’s speeches occasionally contain misogynistic, sexist, or inflammatory language. Japanese interpreter Tsuruta, for example, faced challenges when translating sexualized remarks, ultimately opting for standard terminology to maintain professionalism. Similarly, Chinese translator Kumiko Torikai found certain lewd expressions ethically challenging, ultimately leading to her retirement. Navigating these situations requires skillful balancing of accuracy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that the translation is appropriate without distorting the original intent.

I am not an actual professional interpreter, I'm a person who understands English and got 2 weeks of orientation and was then put on a microphone to interpret medical appointments; we were not allowed to do that, we were explicitly told we had to interpret as exactly and accurate as possible, match the tone if possible, as many words, if they use expletives interpret them

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS!! Everytime I hear him translated on the news and it's this smoothed over translation where they insist in sane-fucking-washing him, I want to scream. It is propaganda it's literally pro-Trump propaganda to translate his speeches like that. Like everyone acts like I'm crazy for saying it but if you understand English and listen to him speaking and then hear the way they translate him you HAVE to understand how propagandistic it is! I don't get why even more left-leaning news channels do this!! Most of the time they won't even let you hear him speak in the background – they outright dub over him, which they don't do for other politicians. They make him sound normal on purpose!

gonna try and run vanilla FNV on my Steamdeck please wish me luck I can't afford to spend all afternoon learning how to mod on this thing
