fun fact Romans also had “fast food” ! in busy areas they had stands that served hot food. The working class especially ate from there because they didn’t have kitchens in their small apartments, but it was also a social thing.
It's probably the most basic human experience since we started building houses. In great Roman cities the Insulae, their apartments didn't have kitchen due to the fire risk. Instead there was a restaurant on the first floor where everyone grabbed their food.
I enjoyed growing mint in my little garden. It smells wonderful in the morning. Most of the people in the camp benefit from my mint. I'm happy to offer them something useful.
the problem is he’s lying about who he is, who he’s with, and what he really wants to mess with these young girls. it is possible to pursue a genuine relationship within a power imbalance, in part by not expecting shortcuts bc of it, but clearly that wasn’t his intention.
power imbalances exist at varying degrees in most relationships. the problem is using that influence as leverage with bad intentions. like, the smaller vtubers wouldn’t even give their discord out to someone as soon as sykkuno expects it but bc of his status they might.
my brothers fiancé asked me to be her bridesmaid with a chatgpt card (and a very nice makeup bag!) the other day. the card also had a typo that asked me to be her maid of honor! 😭😭 same brother that told me to use AI when I asked for help on my resume/CV 🫠
thinking about how much stopping production of mass market paperbacks rlly sucks cuz they’re the easiest to travel with & only more and more people will be getting displaced from their homes as the years go on
full sized books are heavy!! I wish I could travel with more of them
any teacher will tell you how harmful the stupid little AI videos are to children. when kids are on their devices all the time this is what is rotting their minds 24/7.
plus it won’t just become environmentally better bc it “has to”, the ppl running this shit will happily let -
i do not fw people who say shit like "ai is inevitable", "accept it", "embrace it" and so on. especially if it comes from an artist/musician, it's the most garbage take they have ever spewed. no one will ever change my mind about how incredibly unnecessary gen ai is in our lives
these animals, like the whales, can’t protect themselves against us because we’re meant to be their protectors. we’re meant to be the stewards of the earth and all its living beings.
we need self-sufficient organizations and means to negotiate with the government by leveraging our labor, time, money etc. focus should be on building our foundations so we don’t need to rely on keeping capitalism afloat to survive
i’ve realized my concept of power is apparently very different from a lot of peoples bc no, I don’t think winning a role in this system will give us power to substantially help the liberation effort. I don’t want to organize to run someone for office bc I don’t think it’ll work.
ICE did it again - released a detainee far from her home without notifying her family.
Three days after having an ankle monitor put on by ICE, 31 year old Daphy Michel was found unresponsive at a bus station. She died later that day.
Daphy was seeking asylum in the US. Her brother lives in the US and has TPS status.
She had a hearing scheduled for April on her immigration case.
Her brother was waiting to hear when she would be released so he could bring her home.
ICE hasn’t answered questions from Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 about when Daphy arrived at the ERO Pittsburgh office, when she received the ankle monitor, how long she was in custody, and where & when she was released.
@slayercomma you’re right, I think there will always be those type of people. at least with some guardrails hopefully those types are outcasted by the fans who still care about the community
@slayercomma idk the context but I think the best thing is saying smth like “acting this way is lame, if you do this I don’t want you in my community & you shouldn’t call yourself a fan of me” bc some fans do care abt belonging in the community and if their celeb would like them
