quit telling people I'm dead!

1. The puppygirl was able to make herself a sandwich and buy herself little treats and play games. Therefore the puppygirl is physically and mentally capable of performing small menial tasks. The puppygirl can clean, to some extent. The puppygirl has mental energy she could theoretically put towards helping the household, to some extent. The puppygirl is absolutely choosing not to do that work. I am not saying the puppygirl can do all the things perhaps expected of the average person but she can definitely do some things that she is choosing not to. And I'm sorry I'm sorry but feeling anxious is not a good reason not to clean up after yourself. Feeling unloved isn't either. At some point in life you have to do things that are inconvenient or uncomfortable or boring or scary and people having expectations of that is not unreasonable or hurtful

2. If you have a breakdown when something comes up that is incredibly distressing to you that's just life. If you have a breakdown EVERY TIME IT IS MENTIONED, to the extent that your partners can't even ask you to stack the fucking dishwasher, you are being completely unreasonable and it is a very valid reaction for them to stop accepting your meltdowns as currency. Part of the lot of living with anxiety is learning ways to engage with things that don't set you off. Maybe the puppygirl could message. Maybe she could write letters. She needed to actually try. A meltdown does not excuse you from life.

3. This is a controversial take but I'm gonna say it anyway. Actually preface first: the puppygirl is NOT a uniquely trans phenomenon. She is the sister of "girl math" and "damn bitch you live like this?". This is where I disagree with tara because I do not think the puppygirl is toxic masculinity I think she's toxic femininity. I think she's a girl that's asked herself what the girliest girl possible looks like and come up with the answer of "helpless". She's just a girl. Just a stupid girl. The puppygirl is acting out the worst version of womanhood and calling it her identity. The puppygirl is a fucking tradwife, minus the housework.

the most dogshit useless decimated search engine in the entire world:

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

Big finish can do you new adventures of any number of Doctor Whos

They can even give you Jo Martin

If you're looking for a new era w a new Doctor then I would recommend jumping into the Eighth Doctor audios as there's loads of them. You can start with Storm Warning for a more classic who esque experience OR The Eighth Doctor Adventures S1 for a more new who esque experience

If you're after a totally new thing to get into there's Gallifrey (has some prerequisites. If this appeals to you I imagine you will work it out)

If you're after new stuff that's less classic who oriented another potential jumping in point is actually the Sixth Doctor audios. Due to a quirk in continuity (actually bcos the show was nearly cancelled) he has an almost fully open ended canon and a whole range of expanded universe companions including OG Big finish companion Evelyn Smythe
