“ENGLISH OR SPANISH? WHAT THE SIGMA? HAWK TUA” I thought about killing you yesterday, and it disgusted me. I thought of carving a hole into the cavity of your chest, reaching in with my bare hands, seizing your heart between my fingers, and crushing the delicate clockwork lifegiver into so much gore and so many giblets. Tick, tick, tick, as I hold it delicately in my palm, in an instant, SQUISH! Gone. I thought of watching the light leave your eyes, and it disgusted me. Not because of the horror of the scene, which usually would terrify me. Not because the thought had entered my head at all, rising from the deepest pits of hell, which would usually be enough to frighten me. What disgusted me is that to do that, I would have to touch you. I. Loathe. You.
My god my girlies
MY GIRLIES. I am still crying, I am still crying about this. Every day I cry about this.
You bitched so hard about being forced to read 1984 in school when it’s so problematic (tm)
Maybe you should have actually paid attention when you read it
Because all these AI fics
You are LITERALLY MAKING THE GARBAGE NOVELS FROM 1984 that are written by machines
You have literally recreated the worthless soulless machine-made books
Literally,
Literally. Every once in a while it hits me in a fresh wave of disbelief and anger. You have literally created the dystopian book from the dystopian story about why dystopia is bad, and you are passing it around like it’s this amazing thing. I’m crying, I’m crying.
not enough platonic cuddling in this world methinks
I sure did not
What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!
You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases
Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.
Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.
Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.
Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.
Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.
Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.
i’ll lend you my power! bisexual blast! nonbinary null void black hole!

“Laios is too autistic to fuck”
Terrible take, lame, weak crops, infantilizes autistic people
“Laios is too autistic to fuck normal”
Excellent, wonderful, borderline canon
my personal idea of hell is an eternity of sheltered 26 year old queers showing me 2018 tweets which call random things genders and waiting for me to laugh.
