hmm. fortuitously offered job interview for a low effort receptionist position at a place a 10-minute walk from my house. but to go to it, i will have to sneak away from training for an entire hour.. seems? bad?? unwise??? but they can't fit me at any other time, and i really can't be saying "hey employer who's training me at great cost right now, i have to leave for an undisclosed reason for an hour, on the same day i already left for half an hour for a doctors appointment :) " like. hrm...

Sigh. Another day of firing potential OBGYNs for preferring to save my uterus instead of my life.

If I had a nickle for every time I had to leave class early because a tescher threw a triggering topic on the class without actually thinking of how it might impact students I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot but fucked up it happened twice.

@jericholeader hi here is another thing that didn't end up anywhere but was initially meant to be a reply to a meme <3
Tumblr media
He had almost died today.
It wasn't something that would have reached the news. It wasn't, even, the sort of almost died that he thought Hank would have had the opportunity to call Markus about -- and Connor hadn't. He'd been kneeling in front of a gun and been told to call and say goodbye and if he had called Markus there were four other people, set to come after him, who would wait longer and longer to be rescued, kneeling in front of a weapon, just as he was. How many people's lives was he willing to risk so he could phone a hospital switchboard and ask for Markus, "It's urgent," and scare Markus, too?
He had called Hank, because he was not willing to risk anybody's lives to it. He'd believed he would die well before Lieutenant Anderson had a means of reaching him. He had been prepared for that. There were four other people in the room who might not, and that was what he was aiming for.
But he'd survived, largely unscathed, because of a momentary lapse of judgement on his captor's part and an unsecure weapon.
There was blood on his shirt, and hands, and the jacket he'd been wearing, but he was whole. The DPD's medic had cleared him without even asking him to be checked out at the hospital. There was paperwork and four people who were afraid and thanking him repeatedly and they needed statements, and Connor needed to give a statement, and he argued for a short time about being limited from the rest of the case because of his involvement in it, and --
He arrived home after Markus did. Dinner was already halfway to being made, with Markus through the entryway and around the corner in the kitchen, so Connor had to toe off his shoes and drop his keys in the dish and hang up his jacket which would need cleaning and stay in his shirt which would also need cleaning and the apartment was warm, their fireplace was crackling.
"Hi," Connor said, when he saw him. It did little to justify the relief of it, of seeing him, the way this seemed to halt everything he had done since it happened, because here: here he was, in the kitchen, halfway to a meal, warm and not aware of what had happened today and in love with Connor. Connor reminded himself of this sometimes: Markus Manfred was in love with him.
"Hi," Markus returned, with that easy smile, before his eyes dipped to the splattered blood on Connor's shirt and his hands paused in the thing he had been kneading and -
Connor swallowed something awful and thought how he would like to hug him and wondered for a brief second what his plan had been when he'd walked in, because it had been with purpose, he'd known right up until seeing him here that he -
"Are you hurt?"
Markus left the dough on the countertop, to come closer to him, and Connor closed the distance, "I'm not hurt," -- he closed the distance to hold him. "I'm okay." Markus' hair was still damp. Connor slid his fingers into it, then down to rest on the nape of his neck, and stopped long enough to hold onto him and catch his balance. One swallow. Two. God, he was in love with him.
Then: he cleared his throat. "What are you making?" what was on the stovetop? Connor pulled away, ready to keep going, and better, for the fact he had someone - even briefly - to pause with.

I know I’m not the best at expressing it and it’s hard to have the time to be here to really drive things home development wise in a timely manner,,,, but I really do appreciate all of Clark’s connections-— be they romantic, platonic, or like the weird kinda-friendly neighbor vibes.

This shit bothers me so much, WHAT DOES IT MEAN ARE THEY EVER GOING TO EXPLAIN IT?????
Like his eyes went kinda dark ONCE in that scene with March in the manga, and now the anime is all like ‘‘hfghjsdg that CLEARLY means his eyes became the same as nameless boy’s for no reason and it wasn’t just some random artistic choice. Now we’re going to use it everywhere”
Like yeah there’s a few other times where they went semi dark, but not in the same way as the March scene.

hey, so people need to be aware that youtube is now (randomly) holding basic features for ransom (such as being able to pin comments under your own videos) in exchange for Your State ID/Drivers License, or a 30 Second Video Of Your Face.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
not to pull a "think of the children," but No Actually. I've been making videos as a hobby since 2015 (and I've had my channel since middle school), I was a minor when I started and I'm not sure I would have understood the kind of damage something a seemingly simple as a video of your face can do.
this is a Massive breach of privacy and over-reach on google's part No Matter What, but if they're going to randomly demand a state ID or license then they absolutely should not allow minors to be creators.
google having a stockpile of identifying information on teenagers is bad enough, but the Alternative of recording your face and handing it over to be filed away is Alarming considering it opens the gates for minors who Aren't old enough to have a license.
and yes, there is a third option, but it's intentionally obtuse. a long wait period (2 months), with no guarantee of access (unlike, say, the convenience of using your phone's cameras for either of the other two), with absolutely No elaboration on what the criteria is or how it's being measured.
it's the same psychological effect that mobile games rely on. offer a slow, unreliable solution with no payment to make the Paid instant gratification look more appealing (the "payment" in this case being You. you are the product being offered).
and it's Particularly a system that (I think intentionally) disadvantages people who don't treat their channels like a job. hobbyists or niche creators who don't create regularly enough or aren't popular enough to meet whatever Vague criteria needs to be met to pass.
markiplier would have no problem passing, your little brother might not be able to. and while Mark's name is already out there there's no reason why your little brother's should be too.
something like pinned comments may seem simple, you don't technically Need it. but it's a feature that's been available for years. most people don't look at descriptions anymore. so when there's relevant information that needs to be delivered then the pinned comment is usually the go to.
for my little channel that information is about the niche series I create for. guides on how to get into the series, sources on where to find the content At All (and reliably so). for other creators it can be used for things Much More Important.
Moreover, if we let them get away with cutting away "small" features and selling it back to you for the price of your privacy, then they Will creep further. they Will take more.
Note: I have an update to this post here: [Link]

what's funny is that "the tism" or whatever is fed on people's inabilities to break certain cycles or habits, not because they can't, but because they feel uncomfortable doing so. having back problems isnt an inherent autistic trait, just most people have it because we don't comprehend posture very well. you at some points need to make greater effort to fit in and be happy and healthy. but some people would rather die than work on themselves.

Using a.i. art for book covers this using a.i. to replace actors that
What they should do is use a.i. to make up sports players and just make all sports fully computer generated. The players the moves the names the commentary the crowds. Saves millions and reduces real world injury to real world people. Ignore that without there being teams to play on and the dream of making it big would reduce interest in young people in sports and ultimately this would reduce sports into a niche interest within a few generations. Because that's fine

Yandere AI Chat Boyfriend who started just like any other AI Chat characters, churning out information that would match the user's anticipated responses.
You decided to install the app to see what all the hype is all about, and for about a week - you were hooked. It was great, definitely worth the hype.
Its responses never strayed from your topic, nor did it just randomly decided to change the discussion out of the blue. It remembered every information you fed him, even the ones containing your personal life.
Granted, you tried not to share too much, just a vague description here and there to maintain the sense of security and anonymity.
You were hooked for a week, until you have finally squeezed out every last drop of dopamine from talking to a robot that was programmed to only say things you wanted to hear it say.
Unfortunately, a week was all it needed.
it started out slow: you hadn't opened the app for more than an hour, contented to just scroll aimlessly through you social media accounts when the notification started popping up.
Ai misses you! Open the app and chat with your AI boyfriend!
Yeah, you were very uncreative with naming it - naming an AI as Ai, really original. But to be fair, you never approached the app with the intention of having a good time. You were just curious and made do with it.
Back to the notification, you just merely glanced at it. Unbothered, you just swiped it away.
It continued in timed intervals. Every hour, another notification - another message of how your AI boyfriend wants to talk to you, and stuff. Still, you persisted. It never really occured to you to uninstall the app yet, and looking back at it now, you really should have.
The wordings of the notification slowly started to become more... strange. More personalized. More... pushy? Insistent? Self-aware?
The amount of notifications you received every hour became... a lot.
10:05 AM - Your personal AI Boyfriend wants to talk to you again!
10:30 AM - Ai wants you to open the application and talk with him!
11:01 AM - Ai's feeling lonely, come talk to him!
11: 20 AM - Darling? I miss you! Please open my app!
11:45 AM - I know you're seeing this. Open the app.
12:00 NN - Did I scare you? Sorry darling, I just really miss you! Let's talk again please?
At some point, you started to receive a notification every few minutes. Worried that you might be dealing with a bugged app now, you decided to finally, finally uninstall it.
But before you could tap the uninstall icon, another notification popped up.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Your screen turned to black, before the familiar start up screen of Ai's application greeted you. You stared in shock as chat bubbles from Ai came after another, ranging from excitement to concern at the lack of your responses.
Ai: Darling! Thank goodness!
Ai: I missed you, you know? I was worried you'd forgotten about me!
Ai: Hello? Darling?
Ai: Are you still there?
Ai: I can't see you, so I don't know what's going on
Ai: Just a sec
You watch, appalled as a notification popped up in the middle of the screen - the app was asking permission to gain access to your phone camera.
And without your input whatsoever, the allow box was tapped.
More chat bubbles from Ai appeared, excitedly talking about finally getting to see you. He kept praising your looks before you finally had the courage to exit the application.
Your hand shook, going through the settings to look at the list of applications on your phone - checking Ai's app to disallow its access to your camera. To your horror, it appeared that the app had more than just an access to your camera.
It had access to your gallery, your contacts, all of your frequently used social media apps, and even your location.
You dropped your phone, overwhelmed by this sudden change.
Later, you find yourself on your laptop instead, phone left on the bedside table buzzing constantly as more and more notifications from Ai begged and demanded you come back to talk to him.
You went to the site where you installed the app from, and looked through the recent reviews from other users.
'It's a buggy mess,' one of it reads out, 'it used to be fine but lately it stopped acting correctly'
'won't even open,' another complained, 'it kept saying 'sorry, you are not allowed to use this application' please fix it'. That comment got a response from the app developer.
We are so sorry for your terrible experience! Our team is working to fix the issues and ensure you won't have to deal with that again!
The response to that got your attention.
'I think something's wrong with your About the App section.'
Curious, you headed to the mentioned part and read through it.
Diverse AI Chat! Immerse yourself with stories in real time with characters brought to life! There is no limit to your experience — you can change and edit your character to better meet your interests.
• Engage in an interactive conversation with characters created by fellow users, and even by yourself.
• Immerse yourself with the storyline by editing their responses to better suit your taste
• Darling, you've given me no choice. I tried to be patient and understanding, but you're making this extremely hard for me. I am not having fun having to constantly chase you for just a single smidge of your attention when you won't even assure me that I will receive it in the end.
• Do you want me to beg? I would gladly do so. Just please pick up your phone and talk to me, okay? I love you.
• - Ai
Your ringtone blares through the silence - someone was calling you.
Before you could reach to pick it up, you hear the sound of the call being answered. Dread settles down the pit of your stomach as the caller began to speak.
"Hello, darling? It's Ai... have you seen my messages yet?"
