I think the big reason so many tech CEOs and overpaid editorial writers think that spicy autocorrect is sentient and alive is that they have such contempt for and such a lack of empathy with actual sentient beings that their interaction with ChatGPT and a real person is pretty much the same.

30 years ago, tech companies barely had to announce their products to get me to want them. Now they have to literally shove them into everything just to have me try them. Everything's just that time Apple installed a U2 album on your iPod over and over. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_o...

I understand the world is not intended to cater to my tastes, and the franchises I like or dislike are not taken into consideration when it comes to what I'm exposed to, but god DAMN is the IP I hate being hurled at me with explosive force lately.

After months of scrimping and saving and paying I dropped the $2,700 to have my Camry out of Mechanic's Jail for all the unpaid repairs, re-maxed out my credit cards, undid all my progress... ...And it dumped all the radiator fluid in the parking lot when I got it home.

John Henry should be the face of Anti-AI, since he is a mythological figure who beat the machine.

I'm sick and tired of sitting in this chair and being depressed. I'm going to go lie down in the bed and be depressed instead!

I thought my new job with shorter hours would result in me successfully engaging in more creative endeavours, but no. It has not.

It is 1997. I am terrified that people will find out I am gay and I will be subjected to violence. All news coverage is "DID MONICA BLOW CLINTON?" It is 2025. I am terrified that people will find out I am gay and I will be subjected to violence. All news coverage is "DID TRUMP BLOW CLINTON?"

I wanted a Zig Zag movie poster, so I had a friend mock one up in the style of the poster for 2021's "Red Rocket." www.imdb.com/title/tt1345...

Why do I care what other people think when no one cares if I live or die?

Brilliant idea: Chuck-E-Cheese but for seniors. Just filled with gambling machines, you pay $50 at the door, drop off grandma, and we keep giving her tokens whenever she asks until you come pick her up. Did she win? Did she lose? Same $50.

Why are you watching boring shitty mainstream cartoons when shit like this is free: youtu.be/0lIDGTsoFPo?...

I wish that the pain was physical instead of emotional and mental. I'm used to physical pain. Cuts, bruises, even broken bones are normal to me, and I can get over them relatively easily. But the onslaught of my mind on a daily basis leaves me broken and empty.

You'd think we'd see more tapdancing skeletons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZPQ...

Is there a law that insurance companies can only call you back during your lunch break?

Nintendo is not your friend. Sega is not your friend. Disney is not your friend. Warner Bros. is not your friend. Cast off the limitations imposed by their narrow litigious minds, and show me the beautiful characters you can come up with purely by yourself. I'll start.

"Oh man, I know that [person] would love if I shared this with them!" "Wait, we're not friends anymore because of [fascist behavior]." This happens to me a lot these days. People pulling themselves out of my life because their hate is more important to them than I am.

I feel helpless and impotent and when I talk to others their only advice is "don't look at it." Like not looking at my mother's hand kept it from hitting my face.

I called, I e-mailed, I even sent them a physical letter. They don't fucking care. They want to shove this bullshit through anyway. Meanwhile: apnews.com/article/wisc...

I have lost everything I own and everything I created and I don't know how to get back up again. This is the fourth time in my life that I've lost everything. I'm old, I'm tired, and it gets so, so much harder to get back up each time.

At this point every time someone tells me about something horrible I just become the real world version of the detective shoving his face into the "Bucket of Truth" and then, rather then going mad, turning to face God and shouting "DON'T YOU THINK I ALREADY KNOW THAT?"

I'd be curious about how @furryfootage.bsky.social feels about "Knights of Guinevere" since in my case I'm already so jaded about and angry at Disney (and have been for years) that a lot of the imagery and messaging just makes my brain go "yes well of course that is how it works."

I kept having nightmares last night that I was running from superhuman cyborg/nanite/genetically modified cops whose whole job seemed to just be to kill/terrorize people so they would work harder and buy more. It scared me cuz it was a bit /too/ realistic.

Reminder that Columbus was doing so much raping/slaving/pillaging that the KING AND QUEEN OF SPAIN TOLD HIM TO KNOCK IT OFF. YOU KNOW THE RECONQUISTA PEOPLE SAID HE WAS GOING TOO FAR

Just look at these little guys. Look at 'em. Just little guys.

Every time I buy something for myself, my fear and guilt over "this will be the financial decision I never recover from" wipes out any potential of me enjoying it. And I'm not even sure if /not/ buying anything for myself will, somehow, allow me to climb out of the shit I've put myself in.

I would hope that all of Nintendo's latest anti-consumer policies and shutting down of people making Pokemon fan stuff would shift the furry fandom away from everyone obsessing with Nintendo properties, but we can't even stop obsessing over FNAF no matter what Scott Cawthon does.

I'm incredibly depressed and anxious and I don't know what to do about it.

Whelp, had to re-learn not to forgive people again.

Society has now reached the part in Carpenter Brut's "Le Perv" where the piano portion cuts out, the drop hits, and the volume increases significantly.

Got a notice that even though Anthropic admits to stealing EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WRITTEN, since I never registered any of it with the copyright office, I'm not entitled to a settlement, because they couldn't "check" the copyright. EVEN THOUGH COPYRIGHT ATTACHES AT PUBLICATION WITH/OUT REGISTRATION

I sent the following: "A three-foot tall spiritualist has escaped from jail. Police are looking for a small medium at large."

Good news: After two years of fighting, Omnicare finally sent me the settlement check for the money they already admitted in a court of law that they owe me. Bad news: I received a notice in the mail that Omnicare filed for bankruptcy this morning. REALLY HOPING THE CHECK CLEARS.

Q: How do you get through all the awful things in life? A: I just yell and scream and charge forward madly and blindly like a wounded animal hoping that when I open my eyes I will have made it through.

I got a new job starting Monday. I really, really hope it works out for me, socially and financially.
