Alex Mercer deserved better

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

On the cover, the characters are dancing in the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, England. It opened in 1896.

Each of the pairs is dancing a different dance:

• Ciel and Sebastian (Black Butler Couple): Viennese waltz (Yana Toboso originally wanted to make them dance Argentine tango as the dance looks "as if the couple is fighting")

Haha haa haha haha yeah sure "fighting"

In all seriousness, the dance does look like a couple fighting

The cheek grab seems to be a favorite. As if saying "look at me, and me alone." (And we all know how Sebastian is about Ciel's cheeks.)

A card that evokes the Sun tarot card!

The Sun in the tarot symbolizes joy, success, vitality, and enlightenment. It represents a time of clarity, confidence, and personal growth, and generally indicates very positive results and a time of fulfillment and happiness.

actually, sebastian told ciel to consider going easy on her, just to hear him say that he depends on him

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.
