@coriander i'm so good at art comprehension look at all of these objectively correct facts under my command

asking an AI to narrate the events of the spaghetti incident so that i can finally understand Calvin and Hobbes

@coriander @Taweret unfortunately many people who write fanfic do so not out of a love for writing or fandom but for numbers go up, social engagement, and clout

i don’t think AI will WORK for this, largely because i think sharing the prompts will always be more effective than sharing the results, but people absolutely will TRY

@nebulos both are correct with subtle differences in favoured reading. “he said morosely” reads as though “morosely” is a quality of the speech itself; his words were morose words, they had a morose inflection. “he said, morosely” is less making a statement about the words and more making one about him: he was morose when he spoke. (the “-ly” is superfluous in this case; “he said, morose” works just as well; but again there are subtle differences which might lead you to the “-ly” form.)

the above notwithstanding, in practice, it’s probably more important to go with the version that flows better in the context that it is being used than worry about such subtleties of meaning

would you rather that people bicker about fictional characters that don’t matter or that they speak out their ass about people who lived two centuries ago and occasionally found a new religion

@coriander when i first read this i assumed it was written by a man but actually i don’t know if men are capable of tags like “poor pent up boy / evil curious girl” so perhaps i’m wrong archiveofourown.org/works/2120

do you think zelda will need an item before she can lift boulders or is she just canonically way stronger than link

@alyssa i would probably chop it up and put it in eggs or pilaf

i know i’ve had ham soups which were decent but i couldn’t tell you what the other ingredients were

@Satsuma @platypus trees are also good in the sense of providing a buffer between humans and fast-moving vehicles without compromising visibility; i keep telling satsu that i think Wilmington needs to tear up its streetside parking and replace it with a green zone

@akjcv @haskal getting a roomette is more expensive but if you're sharing it and factor in the free meals and accommodations it’s not THAT much more expensive and very nice…

on mornings when my girlfriend wakes up first they make me tea

on mornings when i wake up first i get to watch them cutely pout in their sleep

hard to say which is better, tbh

the problem with playing a top-down zelda game is it makes me want to make a top-down zelda game

@aescling @akjcv javascript isn’t actually a Lisp because code you write today on your machine will work tomorrow on someone else’s, but the fact remains that most of the people writing Javascript compilers and optimizers actually hate core features of the language
