So wait are livestock guardian dogs to their flocks like… Clark Kent among the residents of Smallville? He’s been here since he was a baby, we all know him, and he’s… generally one-of-us shaped, uh, approximately. And then when something goes wrong he suddenly leaps into action and does some terrifying impossible shit none of us could do. And then comes back home and settles in like nothing happened and he’s one of us again.

(so mad i can’t see straight) Yeah i just don’t think chat gpt is a good classroom tool

fascinating of them to make Gwaine part of the Great Tragedy again at the very end. Arthur dies slowly in Merlin's arms and Merlin is left to walk the earth waiting on him but Gwaine died in their absence. and you just know that hurt because Merlin was the first person that Gwaine was ever really attached to and Arthur repealed his father's judgement to give Gwaine a home. that last episode is absolutely about Arthur dying with Merlin but to me it's also about Gwaine dying without. about Merlin losing arguably his closest friend and not even being there to know it until he'd already lost the love of his life. Magic, Strength, and Courage reinforced at the very End, when Strength gives out and Courage can't hold on any longer and Magic has to continue on alone because Magic has always been and will always be

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

So anyways with the rapid rise of fascism I feel it’s a good time to point out that it’s perfectly legal to follow unjust orders slowly, badly, or inefficiently

i hate these motherfuckers so much. our sewer system used to be infested with them. they;d crawl out of my fucking toilet at night looking for warmth, standing up from the bowl waving their shitass little arms at me. they don’t have eyes but you can feel them staring back at you, asking for hugs or god knows what with that pathetic whine that permeates their entire way of existence. uppies! uppies! i’m not giving you uppies you wet toilet freak

why are my two favorite tropes "seemingly powerful and dominating guy turns out to be kind of pathetic" and "silly goofball of a man turns out to be terrifyingly powerful"

arthur will act as dumb as rocks and pull the stupidest most sacrificial shit in the world that will make you want to bang your head against something but he does it because he has so much love and goodness and his blind recklessness has always been borne from bravery and good faith. he always puts himself on the frontlines even though it could mean certain death because he embraces the weight of his crown and believes in justice and courage and. arthur is just so so good we love you arthur pendragon
