Still a noob

I still don’t get why people try to convince me that driving is less complicated than navigating a public transit system. With public transit I’m not doing most of the work.

When people justify using gen AI by talking about how it allows them to do (insert creative hobby) it sends me into a blind rage. The whole point of the creative hobby is to use your brain. Having a machine do it for you defeats the purpose. That’s like saying you’re getting into running marathons then just driving the 42km

Green heron (Butorides virescens)

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

In fact, this was a cultural project early western European archaeologists actively developed. We consider it a phase of archaeological thought, theory, and practice, and we usually call it classicalism. Early archaeologists (Schliemann if I ever get my hands on you...) from places like England and Germany were OBSESSED with finding archaeological evidence of places from epics, hoping to prove their cultural connections to these places. They admired and heralded the arts and philosophies of ancient Greeks and Romans and wanted permission to claim that as cultural patrimony. The underlying theory treated archaeological practice as a practice of inventing cultural heritage and belonging. This same theory was later employed toward the development of the Israeli settler state.

I love being an adult who always puts my hand out to shake when I meet a kid! every single time their face is like "no one does The Adult Greeting Ritual with me, is this a sign of respect or is this man simply unhinged" and then of course as we talk they realise it's both

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

Reblog with the places parts of your soul got left

No, Word, I do not “want to rewrite this paragraph with copilot”. Similarly, I do not “want to hire a drunk chimp as a chauffeur”, so perhaps you can fuck off?

Like I wouldn’t buy the fuck out of stagecoach transformers

Prime and Prejudice

your mom jokes don't work when you know someone too well. I would never be in bed with such a wicked woman. That's not even what I had your mom saying last night. I wouldn't speak to her.

Since Google is useless now I propose the new phrase "Wikipedia is free" when someone tries to derail a post they know jack shit about

I’m putting in my too weak notice.
