#technology will be the end of the world

[klinejack]

the idea that something called "artificial" anything is taking over basically all aspects of functioning society is the best indication of the direction we're headed

#doesnt help that im watching more alien stuff on tv #but like. im seeing so many COMMERCIALS now about the GREATNESS of ai and im like....??? #fuck off mayhaps please???? stop the madness???!?! #if we don't nip this shit triple up the butt/bud we are just doomed. #start compiling all the digital/robot apocalypse stories and movies we're gonna need em for the new gospels #technology will be the end of the world #i think ill have enough fora thesis project soon...........hahahaha like i have the time to answer to stuffyinstitutional old men #i once again offer my wrath services and skills to the humans in charge of the anti-tech army when the time is finally here #thoughts out loud

"Seven years ago we all went through the flames; and the happiness of some of us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured."

Although Dracula was published in 1897, some think that it takes place in 1893 because of the way the days and dates used line up. If that's the case, Jonathan Harker's epilogue, seven years later, would have been added around 1900. A new era bubbling with new change and new conventions. The story ends with Jonathan looking ahead to a new century filled with the unknown and being able to look on the past, despite its darkness, "without despair."

#dracula #dracula daily #November 7 #thanks to anon who mentioned 'new woman' term didn't get officially coined until 1894 #but at the same time certain technology mentioned in the book didn't get its stride until the early 1890s #by publication it ends near the end of the century either way #but ending exactly on 1900 would be an extra nice touch #Jonathan harker #mina harker #1893 was also the year that electricity was displayed on a large scale for the first time at the Colombian Exposition in Chicago #also known as the “World's Fair” #bram stoker #quincey morris #jack seward #abraham van helsing #arthur godalming #the emphasis on modern methods and technology and unconventional characters throughout and then ending with the beginning of a new era #dracula analysis #dracula thoughts #one of those things where you wonder if it was intentional or just worked out really well #twilight-zoned-out #did not keep up with drac daily very well this year #but congratulations to those who did

as true as the jokes about “everyone wants to rewrite ninjago” are i feel like smthn people forget when complaining about the inconsistencies of the show is that…. it wasn’t planned? it’s not like most other animated shows lately - it didn’t start with a deeply fleshed out world or a meticulously designed pitch bible with grandiose plans for a long-term story or character arcs. the ninja don’t originally get their powers from heredity because they weren’t hereditary powers yet. the magic system doesn’t make sense bc they literally just made it up as they went! they go back and forth on stuff like whether non-elementals can learn spinjitzu bc it’s a collaborative piece of media made by people with vastly different levels of control over the story, the animation, the sets, etc. that varied over the course of the series. it’s totally understandable and exciting to see so many people reworking the early stuff with the lore and logic later seasons introduced but i personally feel that… if you’re doing that. you need to understand why the show is like that instead of writing it off as being bad and shitty. it was working with what it had. it’s only what it is now because of that awkward troubleshooting phase, not in spite of it

#ninjago #text✨ #you’re 100% allowed to criticize the show but i keep seeing people complain about the inconsistencies about like. their parents giving them #their powers especially. like yeah cool that wasn’t a thing yet? they have different origins than the non-core elementals #because in the real world that idea hadn’t even crossed their minds yet! the original story was a more traditional fantasy narrative of #normal people rising to the occasion and *gaining* powers through their own feats. the fact that they changed it later doesn’t mean #it was necessarily bad to begin with or that it’s something that should be mocked #idk just. there’s a lot of hostility in some circles about this stuff and it makes me kinda sad. enjoy the complexity of production and how #series adapt over time. it’s part of why the show is so interesting to me #that essay i wrote had a whole bit juxtaposing the attitudes about technology in rebooted and prime empire and how they reflect greater #cultural trends between 2013 and 2021. it’s SUPER interesting and yet a lot of people only talk about it to make fun of how ‘bad’ it was :( #this isnt to say i don’t enjoy some of the retcons. the changes to their meetings with wu in s8 are genuinely really interesting! i love the #changes to cole’s backstory. i think his mom makes him in the early seasons even better! i’m just saying.. be respectful? nobody *tries* to #make a bad show. ages and ages of time and dedication were put into what ends up on your screens. it’s all human love and creation. #as goofy as it is #okay sry got all anthropology there but hm. been thinking about this for a while. apologies for being the local annoying early seasons fan

I didn't have "John Gaius is like Sam Bankman Fried" on my 2024 TLT Discourse Bingo Card but we live and learn

#once again begging the fandom to hate this man for the shit he actually did not the shit that's not real #he ended the world!! he mindwiped his friends! he leads the space empire of death! #pick one of THOSE #why are you looking at a guy explicitly depicted as 1. having SUCCESSFULLY developed a revolutionary technology he's refining #2. handpicked by the soul of the earth and 3. explicitly from an underprivileged background #and you think 'wow just like those privileged silicon valley hacks who were in it for the money' #elle tlt posting #tlt

"The outer reaches of space remain unexplored by humankind to this day, but its greed is relentless. We grasp and yearn and hunger for knowledge— answers to questions we cry out into the endless void expecting to understand, expecting the stars to respond. The stars will not, but one day something else will— and we will not like what it has to say." — Rome Solomon, Beyond the Exosphere (1965)

I am once again being haunted by "a paradox" holy fuck Olivia what the fuck is going on here what did you get yourself involved with and what did you do after it speak to me Olivia I can't keep living like this

#rat rambles #oni posting #the second half fills you with the horrors so you forget that the log opened up with that b111-1 bomb #for the record a paradox is one of my favorite lore logs of all of them because its the log that made me go Oh Shit and go reread all the #olivia logs I initially only skimmed through and begun the olivia brain takeover #the second part rewired my brain irreversably like its so fucked I love it #in particular one thing that makes me so fucking glad that the old olivia jackie logs were scrapped is that originally jackie was the one #who printing pod ified olivia to save her from the end of the world or smth #but the change to make it self inflicted? fucking amazing ten million times better and more interesting #especially because it implies she did it on purpose! #which opens up so many doors and I fucking Love it #because the teleportation technology was what she knew of as a method of doing this but either A shed have to have kept using teleporters #anyways and either just count on her not dying or counting On her dying #or shed have to know the link between it and the neural vaculators #which is very possible considering Stuff™ but does raise the question of how she used it #now the boring answer is that her brain map was already taken from the neural vaculator tests but god. that answer is boring. #the most interesting possibility to me personally is that she could have well. tinkered a bit with existing technology. #unlikely? maybe. fun to explore for my purposes? yep. #also I need the peace of knowing that jackie never got the satisfaction of knowing what happened with olivia's dissapearance #or if she did only after the fact #I need this to have been completely out of jackie's viewpoint at the top and I need it to fuck with her and shatter her worldview #I need to see the desperation and paranoia of a woman who is realizing that she has lost control over her technology #I need to see her try to cling onto her past ambitions and sense of control while falling apart at the seams #and I need olivia to have never thought jackie would give a shit until all else but her is dead and gone #do you see my vision do you see it do you see how much more fun it is if it was extremely deliberate instead of only lightly so

every time i see someone call tron 'cyberpunk', i lose ten years off my lifespan

#note to self literally never read letterboxd reviews of movies i like i cant do it anymore kdjfgkdssd #say you saw the movie and the plot and visuals went right over your head without saying it #like. in what world is tron dystopic?? cyberpunk in itself is an offshoot of dystopian fiction. tron is not about an imagined future #tron is about an imagined PRESENT. thinking about our PRESENT relationship with technology in relation to the times each film was released #tron is in equal measures hopeful and critical about technology. that is NOT cyberpunk #the only CyberPunk that matters in tron is the Tron2.0 character of the same name #i will admit that tron's plot is cyberpunk derived but its. idk man its not the same thing #thematically its different. visually i think tron shares developmental artists with blade runner where the cyberpunk visual stereotype was #- established #but blade runner is more pure cyberpunk thematically than tron is. does that make any sense #and. and. listen to me. i am number one retrofuture fan. i love syd mead. i love moebius. but listen. just because they worked on tron - #- does NOT mean tron is thematically OR visually retrofuturistic either!! the visuals match the time it was made!! thats not retrofuturism! #thats normal scifi based on the every day!!! #tron is a sandbox and at the end of the day anyone can do whatever they want its all just for fun #at the same time. the entire story of tron is being severely misrepresented when labelled as cyberpunk. and it makes me sad #these are very shallow thoughts i just miss literary thematic analysis sometimes. my film studies classes cannot come soon enough #rex speaks

QUICK... .POST SLIVER OF STRAW AT 1 AM WEEEEEEEWWWW I gotta go to bed I think (no ones even gonna see this because I'm posting at. 1 AM. But it's funny to me so I couldn't care less)

I finally finished my design of her yaaaaaygyyy, also this was uh. Whats it called. Shading practice, I wanted to try out smth a tiny bit different

Will *probably* change her design again after posting bc I do not believe in sticking to one design forever but for now it is like this ig

#rain world #rain world art #rain world iterator #sliver of straw #oh this is also like #somewhat abour gay people but not about gay people enough for me to tag it #soon though ... #my art #rainworld fanart #rw iterator #digital art #one of my biggest sliver headcanons is that she really likes overseers #and shes constantly building new technology into her overseers for more utility #.. and one of my OTHER biggest sliver headcanons is that she wears really casual clothing . #lady who ascends is also the same lady who wears funny sneakers and rainbow pearls and sometimes cargo shorts #the lady whom brings a false end to the iterator's great problem is also the lady who wears super stinky crop tops #if iterators could sweat she would stink #and moon and sig would have to buy her deodorant ... ough

rindo for @mister-e-muss! thanks for the request!

y’know, i’ve always found something interesting about rindo. while it’s true that he only wears his mask up at the very beginning of the game and never again, even though it’s supposed to be symbolic of his anxiety when it comes to voicing his mind, i think what he really uses as his symbolic mask is his phone. he’s ALWAYS holding it, and in several sprites he actually does hold it up in front of his face like this. and at the very end of the game, while neku takes off his headphones, rindo puts away his phone. neat, right?

#technology addicted iphone baby lol #love him. face to face communication and expression is hard i know it’s okay #neo the world ends with you #neo twewy #ntwewy #rindo kanade #mine: twewy #my art #i think i gotta take a break from art guys my wrist and arm are starting to hurt actually 😭 #i don’t wanna mess myself up for life just bc i was randomly on a roll one month #also this is messy i know i’m sorry but i couldn’t bring myself to spend forever on it

hi ::) whats ur favorite word?

first ordeal, I'm studying linguistics. I know my words, you just hit an awesome nerve

the simplest answer is "Kurwa", because it's a beautiful word and such a useful one at that

however, i cannot use it. I have a speech defect that makes me sound funny when I curse out my friends. I have been told that I sound "cute" when I yell it but like I just called you a slut!!! bitch!!!

I know that it isn't a question about swear words but they are infinitely more interesting to talk about then normal words, so to answer your question - my favourite word is: "jeb"

What is "jeb" you ask - its an onomatopoeia. Simplest translation is "FUCKING SLAM" in all caps, just like that. Surprisingly useful!

Real life example from a conversation I had a week ago:

"I'll be sitting in my room all quiet then JEB kurwa my neighbor shut the door so hard the walls shook and he wasn't even done I'm trying to focus as he goes JEB JEB fucking insane"

Beautiful word!

You know I'm not even done with it! Jeb can be just the core of many, many beautiful words. Basically it's a core word to be used to make a swear word out of a verb. A few examples:

jebać - to fuck

zajebać - to fucking steal/kill/punch

przyjebać - to fucking punch

ojebać - to fucking eat whole

and also other useful words like

zajebiście - fucking awesome

Fun fact! You can do the same things with cores "kurwa" and "pierdolić" snd others so have fun with that

Another fun fact, with slight changes this will ALSO work in other Slavic languages (which is literally my studies rn), like in Czech or Ukrainian I think, and all the others will have some version of that. Definitely "Kurva"

My most favourite non-swear word is probably szczęście because foreigners make funny wide eyes at that

#it means 'luck' #ok im sorry for the long post i had to get it out of me #my favourite english word which is probably what you were going for is probably like #i need to think about this #my LEAST favourite word is 'world' because im UNABLE to pronounce it it's a losing battle #obsessed with german long words #i once said Staatsgerichtshofbrandstiftung as a joke and it's stuck in my head #its like 'arson of the constitutional court' or something #it's not an official word mind you.. its two words stuck together ill let you figure out where one ends and other starts #ok but my fav english word uhhhh #im a big fan of how in modern times other languages adapt english words for technology like email or google and fucking #frankenstein them into their grammar making abominations like croatian 'mejlove' and others #so there's that #i like the internet words like uwu and stuff #did you know that when you search up uwu on wikipedia there are two pronunciations english and polish #cuz we say it like : #uvu #becaus of different phonetic transcript #it is 2:30 i am going to bed #glad to could have rambled at you #much love to you mutual #hope anyone finds this monologue mildly entertaining #pewce and love uwu #young master is saying things?? #many #many things #i love you shrimpathizer!!! friend spotted!!!!!!!!! #'drops s fucking novel on your knees'
