one short damn fuse

...and no, this isn't based on vibes. There are AO3 skins now that can detect code from Claude (and that's just one AI. Who knows about others.)

Stop using AI to write fanfic. If you need advice on dialogue or what have you, go back to the way things were and get a beta.

That AI was trained on legitimate works by real people who put time and effort into entertaining you for free! FOR FREE!

Even if it's just a snippet, that snippet was stolen from legitimate works. I'd rather read something less polished that rarely updates than AI.

Plus, it degrades authentically written works as fans begin to question everything they read. It really discourages me from reading anything.

Fanfics are used as a form of escapism, and that includes not being inundated with AI content that is largely being pushed by capitalists.

It’s almost always a case of those people marrying into conservative families. They didn’t grow up around it, so they don’t understand that they can’t just agree to disagree with their spouse or their family. Being a child in a conservative household is a kind of torture that we didn’t choose, but these people sign up for it and not only that start falling into right wing conspiracy theories and religious psychosis.

It’s fucking sad, but it’s hard for me to feel bad for them. I have more sympathy for ignorant children who become questioning adults than those who decided after decades of being educated in a so called progressive home that actually civil rights don’t matter and that we need to oppress people to protect white supremacy I mean protect the children.

Anyway, it’s vital that you drink water every hour when temperatures are high to keep yourself cool. Sweating keeps you cool. You will sweat until you can’t sweat anymore, and then you’ll develop heat exhaustion and eventually heat stroke because your body can’t cool itself. So, you absolutely have to drink a glass of water about every hour in this weather.

Warm air rises. Stay in the coolest part of your home, keep doors closed to unused rooms, and focus on keeping central areas of your home cool using fans or AC. Turn off your lights and turn off/unplug non-essential electronics that will otherwise waste energy and produce heat. Draw your curtains - I recommend blackout curtains to keep the interior cooler.

Damp washcloths on your neck can help. Laying on a cool surface like the floor can help. Light, flowy linen fabrics that cover most of your body are actually better than skin tight cotton and polyester shirts and shorts that soak up sweat. Cooling blankets can help. Creating shaded areas outdoor can help. Etc.
