Clicking Google's fun whimsical throwback logo today sends you to an AI chat pre-filled with a goofy prompt and immediately hits you with a warning that it is potentially dangerous to continue. You couldn't make a better commentary on how badly they have fucked up the internet if you tried.

Stop calling people who wear masks and take Covid precautions the “forever covid” crowd. We’re literally the only ones trying to eliminate the virus. It’s not gone. It’s not over. It’s still disabling. People who deny this reality are the “forever COVID” crowd.

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

Although the study was focusing on students, by the way the world is going, PLEASE handwrite/draw more! You don't need to be the next Shakespeare! You don't need fancy supplies! A grocery list, what happened in your day, a quote, a letter to you, ANYTHING to help your brain!!! #mentalhealth

Photo of open notebooks under the twxt "they found 16 distinct neural connections that only activate during handwritting. Zero of them fire when you type. Every curve and every letter written by your hand is physically reshaping your brain. You need to be writting/drawing more. AL and your notes app can't do that for you"

This is when a lot of artists created alternatives but quite a bit stuck with Jake, believing it was just oopsies and his lawyers fault...but then came the Alphonso Dunn plagiarism. Look that one up on youtube, its wild. This isn't a guy who deserves to make $ off of your work, pushing his brand.

This of course stirred up nasty discourse which Jake dodged with his whole "nice guy" persona but then his lawsuits came. You can look that up, gets into legal mess but he blamed his lawyers for being too aggressive with small artists for using his "brand" which is again, a hashtag and list of words

The inktober history maybe too old for some to remember but it started as just a fun thing, to slight drama like Jake saying digital doesn't count, something he clearly said did on places like Will Terry's youtube but that changed when Jake started selling his official Inktober art supplies..

Okay, hate to be that guy but saw my first “2024 Official Inktober Prompt List” show up and pls do any of the many other options besides that one. All you are doing is feeding a greedy shady man’s “brand”. Monetizing a hashtag is ridiculous enough but his record of lies to sell products is gross.

reminder that it's not "age verification", it's "identity verification" true age verification needs nothing more than self reporting. if you say you're 18+ and you're not then that your responsibility. websites shouldn't have to care about more than that.

People really need to fucking re-learn the difference between "I don't like this" and "This is harmful". Not liking a thing is fine, but you don't get to dictate what others enjoy, actually. Especially not within fiction. Be an adult. If you don't like something, move on.

A small amount of countries have it, some have even fully rejected them. The US has had struck most of these laws down as unlawful. And the rest haven't been fully passed or implemented yet. There isn't this global consensus yet, saying that there is an utter lie.

Really hate how some people are acting about the discord thing, since it's not "As bad" as it was last time, it's okay "It's still sucks, but what can you do." while spouting missinformation about how the entire world has a bunch of age verification laws.

Purity culture is when you stop going "I don't want to read/see that" and start going "No one should read/see that" Like, genuinely, "don't like don't read" was really good advice and y'all mocked it because people convinced you it was because people "couldn't take criticism".

Tomorrow, Discord will place everyone into an age group using account signals. They claim 90% of users won't have to confirm their age. They are also introducing new verification methods if you do need to verify that you are an adult, including Credit Cards and App Stores.

More than 90% of you won’t be asked to confirm your age. Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we’re launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback.
You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed or the kinds of servers you're a part of. We don’t look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same. More on this below.
We've added several new ways to confirm your age, including some that don't require an ID or selfie (including credit cards). If you're an adult but weren't automatically placed in the adult age group, you can confirm your age group at any time by going to User Settings > Account Status. More on the new options below.

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

Moodboard of Eri 🌅 Tiny bits of lore about Eri in the alt-text (^ v ^)

OC Moodboard of Eri ☀️

Their hair: Blonde with a short bob and side-swept bangs to right.

Their name: In Japanese, Eri is a popular female given name meaning Blessing and Reason (恵理). In Hebrew, Eri means "my guard," "my light," or "my candle," symbolizing hope and spiritual guidance. In Irish the name can stem from éirí, meaning "arise" or "ascend," or connect to Éire, the traditional name for Ireland.

Fave flower/plant: White lilies primarily symbolize purity, innocence, rebirth, and heartfelt sympathy.

Fave food/drink: Crisp cold water with citrus and/or herbs. Any homemade ice tea is also very yummy!

Your OC: Eri

OC eyecolor: Orange perhaps amber-colored eyes with a golden shine.

OC fave color: Light blue

OC outfit: Cotton or linen white dress. Her aesthetic would be effortless boho chic.

OC's best friends: Mitsumi and Ryu

OC accessory 1: Wings. Not really an accessory, but she does have them. Only well hidden and more symbolic.

OC accessory 2: A crocheted bag.

Where they live/home: She lives inside Mitsumi's dairy.

Quote: "May the flowers remind us why the rain was so necessary" - Xan Oku

Random aesthetic photo: White wall with lots of vintage golden framed mirrors.

Free space: Biblically accurate angel, Thrones (little hint)
