Robot Enjoyer

to the young who want to die by Gwendolyn Brooks

Article basically says that s2 will be greenlit if s1 blows up on Netflix when it drops there on May 31st.

To those who've already watched it and have Netflix, watch it again! To those who haven't, here's your chance, and spread the word! This show is incredible and unlike any other western animated show out there and it'd be a shame if it became yet another victim of corporate write-offs. Let's give Scavengers Reign a second chance at life!

This show is so good - a human colony ship essentially crash lands on an exoplanet teeming with truly alien life in an ecosystem like we've never seen before.

The art is gorgeous, the worldbuilding is fantastic, the story is compelling, and the voice acting and sound work are great.

Seldom do we get science fiction shows like this. It would be a tragedy if it's not renewed.

We here at Ad Astra strongly recommend Scavengers Reign!

I was actually just up in Ohio for the solar eclipse, and did you know, I'd never seen Spring before?

I thought I had, because down here in Florida we do get some flowers and nice green leaves as the weather shifts from cool to hot, but the trees are never bare and the flowers just blend in with the rest of the trees and in comparison this Actual Spring was some sort of magical wonderland, I swear to god, I've never seen anything like it

Apple blossoms???? are so pretty???????? the subtle changes of the colors, and they take up the whole tree and they're so damn beautiful????????????????? I had never seen them before, we don't have any apple trees down here at all, but now they might be my favorite flower

I'm familiar with cherry blossoms- we do have some cherry trees- but not like this. This tree was entirely pink and stood out so much! No leaves or anything on the trees, just flowers everywhere!!! I see why people like spring and cherry blossoms so much, I think.

And idek what these are but LOOK at that!!!!!!! Life and color!!!! Spring!!!!

So yeah. I went to Ohio and I thought it was beautiful and i wanted to share that with you. Your state is wonderful!!!

Why not order them now, or set a phone reminder for a more convenient time to do that?

Todd. Todd the first game opens with an armed soldier killing a protestor for an Americana propaganda film. There is clearly deeper shit going on than “naivety” u can’t be this stupid. If you wanted to say “Fallout is a specific genre showing how Americana destroys itself and it doesn’t feel right to make that commentary on another country.” thats one thing. Todd. But naivete?? THE FIRST OPENING CUTSCENE OF THE SERIES YOU OWN HAS A WAR CRIME OVER AN AMERICANIZED PROPAGANDA FILM. THIS ISN’T EVEN GETTING INTO THE FIRST TWO GAMES. EVEN YOUR TV SHOW COMMENTS ON CAPITALISM AND- TODD.

THE AUTHOR IS LITERALLY TRYING TO COVER FOR HIM AND ADD WORDS IN HIS MOUTH AND STILL ISNT EVEN DOING A GOOD JOB. TODD.

Is he fucking with everybody. Whats his deal

After watching starfield gameplay this statement is even more insane. There is no game in starfield Todd

Having comfort characters is so funny because you hear or see something that vaguely reminds you of them and it's like

one of the important cornerstones of fandom is understanding that your headcanon is not everyone else's headcanon, and i'm not sure when people stopped understanding this

Notes: Stop trying to get other people to share your headcanon(s). Also, you don't need anyone's permission to have the headcanon(s) you have.

"immoral" "self-destructive" opinion or whatever but making art for no one fucking sucks shit

say whatever you want about striving for likes and comments and retweets or whatever but i dont think its unhealthy to yearn for genuine engagement with your work, something that just doesnt fuckin exist online anymore (and where else are we to go to get it)

i always get recommended to "make art for myself" whenever i talk about feeling disillusioned with art in general and bitch... i hate this. i hate making a drawing no one will see. i hate making things no one understands. it was never about the very act of drawing. it was never about craft for crafts sake. its always been about connection to other human beings.

Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.

There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.

flipping the tables at the temple is a crucial part of the run, but obviously every npc in the area will aggro on you as soon as you do it, which is a problem because the crucifixion exploit only works on a pacifist run. that's why we picked up those cords from the leatherworker earlier in the chapter. we can craft those into a whip and drive out the merchants, as long as we don't accidentally kill one of them. this is the only weapon in the game that doesn't proc the "violence" effect due to an oversight in the code, so this will essentially allow us to complete the tableflip glitch without breaking our pacifist run. once every table is flipped, the physics engine won't know how to handle it and some key values will be altered that will later allow us to clip through golgotha directly into hell-

woke up this morning with the mental image of jesus' last words on the cross being "speedrun strats" and the thought wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote this

MONKEY MAN (2024)

Quick question, I keep seeing tiktoks about college students doing this so I gotta ask

Personally I never pulled an all nighter when I was a student, I honestly thought it was a movie thing and not something students do.

bro I pulled an all-nighter at LEAST once a semester. I perfected the art of taking 20 minute power naps to recharge whenever I got too slap-happy from exhaustion.

I did it once and I have no real memory of whatever thing I ended up submitting as my final paper in Linguistics 203. I just remember thinking to myself as the sun rose about how much pain I was in both mentally and physically. After that, no more.

it's so fucking frustrating to be in college and know everyone uses chatgpt and to be tempted by it constantly while also knowing intellectually that it doesn't work and it's a bad idea. like, i hang out in the library a lot, and i see people using chatgpt on assignments almost every day. and i know it isn't a good way to learn, because it's not really "artificial intelligence" so much as it is an auto text generator. and it gives you wrong information or badly worded sentences all the time. but every week i stare down assignments i don't want to do and i think man. if only i could type this prompt into a text generator and have it done in 10 minutes flat. and i know it wouldn't work. it wouldn't synthesize information from the text the way professors want, it wouldn't know how to answer questions, it just spits out vaguely related words for a couple paragraphs. but knowing my classmates get their work done in 10 minutes flat with it while i fight every ounce of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in my body is infuriating.

i think one thing that's been really helpful in keeping myself from using it is thinking about Why i have to do the specific assignments i have. like what is the actual goal. like some assignments the goal isn't "share a story about parenting styles in ur personal life" so much as it is "show you understand the concept of parenting styles thru a story". or it's not "how do hormones impact teenagers' decision making abilities" it's "can you understand, reword, synthesize, and explain the information in the text and videos to explain how hormones impact teenagers' decision making abilities". and looking at it as "this assignment is asking me to read some words and then understand and explain them, which is a skill i want to have" rather than "i have to answer these stupid questions that seem really obvious because all my professors want me to die forever" has helped. especially in a world where everyone uses chatgpt i want to know how to read with my own brain
