honestly the worst thing to happen to online audio and video is midroll ads. put premium ads at the front, cheap ones in the back, and let the creator put sponsors in the middle. like it should be a law or something!

can someone spread a rumor that like early LLM ai caused the covid19 pandemic so a disturbingly large portion of the population can take the risks of ai use more seriously? because the actual things happening arent making them care much rn

october is over, no more halloween :( but november is here, which means THE CANDY CANE KISSES ARE OUT!!!! :D

Adding another cheap food resource via Tumblr www.toogoodtogo.com

i think being told that human brains seek patterns, and that it is why a chaotic world can be hard for most people to accept, continues to be a reassuring thought, especially when faced with today's overuse of LLMs making people not understand what a chatbot actually does: pattern recognition

follow the link! its super easy to call, they give you a script and youre most likely going to be sent straight to voicemail anyways. if you cant call then send an email but calling has a greater impact

Kids, I’m not going to change the way I write just because a shitty AI uses the same punctuation I use, after it was trained on MY fucking writing.

me rn trying to use the Discover page

coming to 30 Rock late is watching 3 seasons and not being sure if you get it and enjoy it, or are just comforted by a feeling of television you no longer experience, and then by season 4 being invested enough to care about the characters, but also hit the sobering realization that time is fake.

sometimes i rewatch the climactic fights of SSSS.DYNAZENON and Gridman Universe just to emotionally overwhelm myself today was sometimes

i want to remind anime fans that for every horrific example of visual edits an anime received to air on tv there are an equal amount of anime that received no edits, just cut frames and scenes, because the english team often was underpaid and could save time by not drawing over someone else's art.

every post on Discover from someone followed by someone else i am following is pretty good, and whenever a post is bad it is always from an account with no overlap. im not saying its EVERY unrelated account, but it is ALWAYS an unrelated account

MAIDNIGHT is here. a dreamcast-inspired visual novel about cute maids, minimum wage, and losing your sense of self. aokoro.itch.io/maidnight co-developed with @aokorothebest.bsky.social of 'cigarettes for shion' fame. we worked really hard on this, so i hope you all enjoy it~

was it a good use of my time to make a spreadsheet calculating the rarity of wild pokemon in generation 1 based on an average of encounter percentages? maybe not. but i was able to make up a dumb formula for how trades and game corner prizes count so i had fun and that is what matters!

i can confirm that i definitely prefer the "sleep in the morning" options when working overnights, because "sleep in the afternoon" makes me feels insane

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

we can agree it is absolutely crazy that ai content is popular with anyone over 40, right? like i figured they would be the most vocally against it, but now it feels like they are like the primary target of some of the most blatantly fake and ugly ai content

⚠️UPDATE!⚠️ We're doing some DNS updates currently and "www.dropout.tv" URLs are not working -- but watch.dropout.tv URLs will work! Everything should be working fine soon!

i do not understand how people are tricked by some of these ai videos. you are going to tell me you think the president speaks that clearly in 2025? i dont know if he ever sounds that clear

(trailer voiceover) this halloween, grass touches back

can people talk about the older pokemon games and not act like trading with other players isnt a key design element? "you have to get this HM from here before you can do this" no you trade with your friend who beat the game and save yourself the hassle. think outside the box!

Politics is not comedy

maybe my watch goal should be counting every time Sailor Moon (even if only temporarily) turns her back on a friend. it wouldnt be so impossible

just learned what Vanny Knights is and i forgot that harem anime tropes could be depicted in live action

one of the weirdest things to me is still a "timeline cleanse" like what are you really cleansing? just say you want to share something different. or like dont bring it up! just do it! you dont have to make it sound special just because it diverges from whatever else was going on a minute ago!

I've started a Sticker & Print Club! ⭐ There are different tiers and voting rights to see what I'll make for the following months, as well as line art to color! Thank you for your support! ⭐ Check it out here ko-fi.com/swollenbabyf...

Motivational message

i do genuinely want to see more artists have a dedicated gallery. i really miss going through artist galleries, especially when i cant remember how long ago i saw an artist's piece

im already tired of hearing about "hiring freeze" because we all know what this is actually about: weak leaders thinking that if they all make it sound like no one is hiring, then everyone will do their best to not get fired. and it wont work and in a month it wont be a thing.

ngl, "movies" shouldnt be an ad category. there should be specific ones, like "horror movies" should be a category. advertising for horror movies should be separated from advertising for other movies. like if we were actually being real about advertising mindfully

Queer porn has fucking done things for me that the rest of the art world never has. It makes me love myself better, it makes me love others better.

Lunchtime

hot take: despite the technology being fast enough to not need them, video games should have artificial, designated wait times as an intentional transition piece between parts of the game. give me that random lore that is not even mentioned by NPCs. or reminder me of something i might forget.

if you need a fun game to play with friends i recommend Make Way. just look it up its on like every platform i think. i played it once at a party and again just now and it is still a hoot!

forgot to put on my glasses and reflexively thought "thats okay. i dont need to see any of this stuff" i really need a pick me up lol

i really am so tired. like very broadly speaking

day 3 of rollerblading when i wake up: i did all my reps (if i can call them that) and remembered to bring water this time! and drank it! i really hope i can keep this up because im wearing size 11s and they are definitely too tight. what was i thinking all those years ago???

[comm] ⌚oc comm #judles

i did a little bit of roller blading today, nothing crazy because its been at least a year maybe even two since i last did, and it was so satisfying! but also pavement sucks and my legs are shaking! lmao

it would be really cool if i wasnt sleepy all the time
