Tell me bout the guy you like

He's from luxembourg and has pretty blue eyes and a nice smile and an accent and I love a good accent. And he's smart. And he is also learning Chinese. And he seems kind and interesting.

I think there's actually a chance that we could be compatible lol.

#the cringe I feel like I'm a teenager with a crush but whatever #also he's stupid tall like too tall maybe lol #do they make em tall in luxembourg is it like the dutch I have no frame of reference #he's like me but different enough for it to be interesting ykwim #anyway I uuuuuuh think I'll see him again this week hopefully and I'm gonna give him a mooncake #last week he gave me two rich tea biscuits does that mean anything #next step is to invite him out somewhere #like we are interested in the same things which is kinda unlikely but not at the same time it's just rather specific idk #ALSO ALSO he has a lot in common with crush no. 1 who I can't talk about but 'if I had a nickel' etc etc. it's too funny not to mention #I guess that's just called having a type #anyway if this doesn't work out I'll have to wait like 5 years for the stars to align again probably #we'll see

Hi yes I would like it if you went insane over cross (publically on Tumblr dot com) thank you

(hehe hi catto i appreciate u 🫶🫶🫶)

the issue with AI chatbots is that they should NEVER be your first choice if you are building something to handle easily automated forms.... consider an algorithmic "choose your own adventure" style chatbot first

it really seems to me that the air canada chatbot was intended to be smth that could automatically handle customer service issues but honestly... if you do not need any sort of "human touch" then i would recommend a "fancier google form"... like a more advanced flowchart of issues. If you NEED AI to be part of your chatbot I would incorporate it as part of the input parsing - you should not be using it to generate new information!

#literally everyone sees AI and gets so hard they black out and it ANNOYS me! #prediction/recognition AI is fine i guess it's not without flaws but it is leagues better than generative AI #but also - use the right tool for the job #like the article said it was using ai chatbot to handle customer service. Is it so hard to create a series of pre-made questions to guide #-a customer through the process? (this is called a wizard i think) #(most importantly wizards have been around for pretty much as long as GUIs have) #'oh but you need to hardcode it' yeah and hardcoding stuff came free with having a job. Turn your questions into a series of markdown #-documents if you need someone with no tech skill to come in and put in the questions #don't outsource it to an AI. You are lowering the overall tech literacy of the population here and im not kidding #there are good uses of AI.. Woebot is a really good chatbot that uses AI precisely because it has a lot of human oversight in it #but i really think that AI is something that you better have a PERFECT - not just good - justification for #sorry.... angry tech guy rant.... i swear i dont do this in real life... i just like typing...

one of my favourite character relationship dynamics, platonic romantic or anything, is when two characters are absolutely the bestest of best friends and when one is hurt or something the other will scream and cry and wail and explode and when the other is in danger then the first one will go on some kind of silent terminator-esque rampage about it. besties (do no separate)

#i havent watched more than season 3 of x files but i rewatched season 2 recently #and that entire season along with the first half of season 3 (where i am now LOL) have been entirely this #literally like. mulders the screaming crying throwing up type and scullys the terminator one #its awesome #another far less obvious and possibly less intentional example but recently ive been reading some villainess manwha called #a villainess no more and like. the romance is kinda sweet and gentle and cute and all but like #i kind of really loved in the early parts where they kinda just became besties at first sight #like bro......they are BEST FRIENDS #rn in the story ive gotten to the point where theyre best friends And lovers which is sweet #its interesting though normally im a huge sap who loves romance in like everything but like...i kinda preferred them just as besties? #not something that happens to me often (nothing wrong with purely platonic relationships im just a romantic dweeb) #(theres exceptions of course. speaking of scully and mulder i like them best not as romantic or platonic but a secret third thing) #(theyre relationship is: scully and mulder. you know. thats their relationship status) #but this is a case where i really loved the platonic married besties dynamic a LOT #are there any comics or something about two besties being married platonically. maybe im craving something i never knew i craved #besties wedding. besties wedding #but i guess its no surpirse that i love besties dynamics if you remember all my complaints about certain routes in certain sengoku era otog #i think shingens route should have had more goofing around. i think mc and shingen should have become besties before romance #sometimes i cant buy romance unless they become best friends first. become BUDDIES before u put a ring on it #if that makes sense. who knows what im talking about. hold your besties real close tonight.....for me #(a transparent version of me smiling is overlayed over the night sky before i fade away into stardust)

terfs go climb into a hole and start rotting. animals cannot inherently tell your "biological sex" you are all so fucking stupid. All this post is saying is that animals are not infallible judges of character and some of them make really stupid vibe checks and that people should try not to take it personally. Unless youre a terf in which case they know and they hate you and you should take it personally

re that one post tbh i do want to stress i dont think animals are like magically psychic at knowing your True Gender tbh i think ppl definitely get way too weird about Animal's judgement of ppl.

Sometimes a dog will vibe check a man and the dog will be right and you should listen. but sometimes the dog will vibe check someone for no good reason. sometimes dogs have wack judgement. sometimes dogs have biases influenced by their owners or previous owners. like. there are Racist Dogs. its not the dogs fault, but that doesnt make the bias theyve developed less real, or less potentially hurtful. i dont think we need to like, Cancel Dogs Bc Sometimes Ppl Can Train Them To Be Racist, but we do need to stop perpetuating the idea that a dog's judgement of someone is infallible. theyre not responsible for it and its not their fault its developed, theyre just dogs, they didnt choose it, but that doesnt mean theyre RIGHT lmao. i think its important to stress this for many reasons but in regard to that last post specifically, if youve ever been vibe checked as a gender you arent by a judgy dog its literally not your fault. might not even be the owners fault. not the dogs fault cos like. its a fucking dog. you do kinda have to be the bigger person in that scenario cos the other person is. A Dog.

#toy txt post #this was meant to be a quick post it got a bit longer and more in depth than i planned oops #i just hate when ppl act like All Dogs have Inherently Correct Judgement Of People #like from every angle. its funny to joke about but i know theres ppl out there who might be feeling like #very fragile in their gender or smth and seeing a post like that if they meet a dog that normally hates men but not women but it doesnt #recognize your inherent true gender im sure seeing shit like that post can be a horr #got interrupted by a phone call while typing it and the post is glitching so i cant see where that tag is cut off so uh #dogs are like ppl in that they can develop biases and have bad judgement and they dont always get it right #they are not like ppl in that it is not possible to ask a dog to examine its biases. you cannot make a dog take a class on #critical race theory. you have to work to socialize and desensitize them against those biases or at least make sure those biases theyve #developed dont negatively impact ppl. in this sense i guess im morally obligated to try to learn more spanish to see if it helps my dog #chill. shes nervous around all new ppl but parents have anecdotally noted she extra dislikes men speaking in spanish. she was a stray so we #dont really know her history. she also does Not like fire pokers outside. weirdly even tho its basically the same tool she is unfazed by #the indoor poker for the woodstove? but ig she wouldve had less exposure to indoor woodstoves as a stray in Louisiana? #but i can see like ppl having a little backyard barbecue and threatening the big mastiff looking stray dog with a fire poker and i think #that region of the country prolly has a higher number of spanish speaking ppl than our current residence so the odds of her running into a #spanish speaking guy who isnt very nice are prolly higher just due to a denser population as a whole. and we think shes part mastiff which #i think is a breed already prone to disliking strangers that probably cooked up into a little cocktail in her brain #luckily shes bad enough with All Strangers that i think honestly it would be hard to even notice her bias? but. ig i need to see if i can #desensitize her? idk. sighs but im scared to open duolingo now 😭. but i could maybe do it. when other ppl wear hats she fucking hates it #i wear a fucking face covering mask that looks like a giant eyeball she looks at me a little quizzically but is fine. jester hat? fine #i am like that video of the person desensitizing that horse except thats just like. living w me. minus the cat thing. id never do that to #the cats or dog. everyone would hate that. squirrel already cant tolerate being held while a dog is out cos he THINKS im going to do that. #it would traumatize the dog cos he'd injure me escaping and then prolly her trying to scare her off to get past her and shes just minding #her business. solo i cant hold that long but is less likely to injure anyone. shadow. first of all all 3 are way too heavy to be holding #like that #im getting lost in the tags again sorry im chewing caffeinated gum. i should go try to buy some catnip #ive made my Phone Calls. im gonna try to go get dressed and buy various catnip products. maybe lure him with a toy this time. need my #parents to help me but not be so visibly Ready to help me next time cos i do not want to chase his ass again...

“[Barbie Fashion Designer] was a bestselling software title in 1996,” said Rachel Simone Weil, video game historian and founder of FEMICOM Museum, which preserves the history of girls’ toys and games, to Polygon. “How amazing that we collectively completely forgot about it, and then it was able to rise back up into the collective consciousness, where it is today.”

Nice to see this article about Barbie Fashion Designer on Kotaku, but also genuinely amazed that apparently "we" forgot all about Barbie Fashion Designer, probably the second best video game I have ever played.

#I hadn't been aware that this was sort of a breakthrough moment in 'games for girls' #I just thought it was a fun computer game #I also thought that the touch typing program my dad got for me was a fun computer game though #I can't remember if I had any success printing out the patterns on the special paper but I do remember the special paper? #I mostly just designed the clothes and did the bit where Barbie modelled them #she wouldn't go down the runway if you didn't pick shoes #she would say 'don't forget my shoes!' and you'd have to pick something before you could see the catwalk animation #however she would walk the runway wearing only shoes and her underwear #but I would never question the internal consistency of barbie's standards of dress #it is not for me to second guess barbara millicent roberts #also apparently digital domain was also working on the effects for titanic at the time #and the lead programmer on the barbie fashion designer project was pissed off with them for stealing all their server time #and called it 'that stupid boat movie'

Does mapleshade still follow Crookedstar in this? What if her purpose doing that is to make sure riverclan never rejects a half-clan kit again (that’s why he doesn’t question Misty and stone and another reason for wanting his grandkits in riverclan)

I'm passionate about the idea that people are heavily influenced by their circumstances. It's much easier to be a good person when you have loving guidance and the environment to be your best self. Likewise, pain and suffering can bring out the worst even in the kindest, most selfless people.

And in both of the AUs I have for Mapleshade, she is not a particularly nice person to begin with. But being StarClan's best prosecutor allows the positive aspects of her personality to shine. So to answer your question:

"Does Mapleshade still follow Crookedstar?"

#Bonefall Rewrite

In the current version of my rewrite, Mapleshade is condemned to the Dark Forest for 3 counts of murder. She takes the ruling with pride and confidence, playing to the sympathetic crowd by chasing the other damned souls into the Dark Forest.

In truth she's just as spiteful as she was in life, and now she's alone with no friends or family, bored, in Hell, and uses all that spare time to haunt Appledusk's lineage, and basically everyone associated with her death (Perchpaw/shine as well).

So, it's really not for a constructive reason that she follows Stormkit. She pushed him off the stone to kill him and only broke his jaw. She notices that Rainflower has a spiteful, awful view of her son, and decides that it would cause even more suffering to keep Stormkit alive. She kills some more kits so he'll have a foster to suckle him, just to watch them make each other miserable.

(rewrite recap: Rainflower is now the Appledusk descendant. Stormkit is not getting a cruel renaming, Crookedjaw is an honor title.)

Crookedstar follows Darkstar's commandment, the Queen's Rights, because he is a good, proud leader who abides by the traditions of his predecessors. That's all. Mapleshade doesn't need to bully him into 'clan loyalty' or anything, her haunting is much more actively malevolent than canon.

#Better Call Mapleshade AU

In StarClan, Mapleshade is with her kits. Her wonderful, sweet children-- they are an excellent influence. She's still ruthless and vengeful, of course, but she lives for the contrary position she can hold up to StarClan

A LOT of her motivation stems from that. From knowing that StarClan would otherwise let people in who shouldn't be there (hypocritical? Yes) and she takes this duty very seriously.

The BCM AU shares some aspects of the Bonefall Rewrite, but here, I think it's very similar to canon. Mapleshade watches Rainflower emotionally abuse an innocent kitten, and she KNOWS that Rainflower would just get into StarClan without any intervention (the way she did in canon). Mapleshade needs more evidence to condemn her-- and she will create scenarios to get what she needs.

On one paw this IS born out of righteous fury. She IS thinking of her own kits, you might agree that Rainflower deserved the Dark Forest, and Mapleshade won't FORCE Rainflower to do anything she wouldn't already do. She will test her, that's all.

But to test her? She is going to use Crookedkit. This WILL cause a lot more pain to him than if she just left it all alone and let Rainflower get into StarClan. She encourages him into positions of power to prove himself, she lets this young cat think that his value is tied to what his abusive mother thinks of him.

Because the more pain he displays, the further the lengths he goes to in service of appeasing Rainflower, the more Mapleshade can use as ammo to get her damned.

Mapleshade always serves her own interests first and foremost, not those of the greater good.

AU where Wukong didn't kill macaque (i know, hear me out) and it was a long play by LBD to get Macaque on her side or smth. And Macaque fell for it despite being a master of illusions himself...maybe LBD used the shadows against him? 🤔still playing around with that

anyway, Macaque eventually realizes this after LBD dies and now he's awkwardly got to apologize to wukong about it, but Wukong wants nothing to do with him because he's deeply hurt that Macaque thought he did that.

then: Macaque awkwardly hanging around Wukong and trying to get back into his good graces only for Wukong to blow up at him and vent his hurt and frustrations and macaque is just...really regretful

they eventually make up or whatever, but i saw someone mention they like the flavor of "macaque hanging around wukong, and wukong wants nothing to do with him" and i was like yeah, that'd be easy to make an AU for because there's nothing too complex going on LMFAO

#if this were to be an actual thing from me it'd be called #dust au #but idk when i was typing this out i thought 'hmm i don't actually like this' #idk why LMFAOOOO #it could work but something about things playing out /this/ way doesn't seem right to me #i think i can only get with the 'macaque is a little annoying shit to wukong' if they both legitimately did bad things to each other. #hmm don't like that either LMFAO #maybe because macaque can be a little annoying shit to wukong even if wukong killed him LMFAO #like!! i don't think the petty fighting and macaque desperately wanting wukong's attention is specifically tied #to events having to play out a specific way #in constellations macaque is constantly a little shit. like he wants to hurt wukong sure but he also wants to annoy him #he wants wukong's attention /no matter what/ #no matter the au #so i guess it feels disingenuous to be like 'macaque only acts like this in this specific case!' nah #that's just his character #and if macaque is enough of a little shit. then wukong will start walking away
