Imagine Finding A Room In The True Lab That's Just Utterly Filled To The Brim With Textbooks On Soul

Imagine finding a room in the true lab that's just utterly filled to the brim with textbooks on soul science. Tolkien levels of world building on the ways a soul works.

"it is a well know fact that when a creature in possession of a soul enters a fight their soul coalesces into a heart shaped [fig. 2a] object (which will hereupon be referred to as a soul heart) whose physical position can be controlled telekinetically by the soul's possessor. Naturally, the aggressor's attention shifts to trying to attack and destroy the heart while the possessor evades said attacks. The speed at which a heart can be controlled and moved is a function of the possesor's distance from the heart, their own physical strength, and the atmospheric pressure at the location of the fight, which can be summarized by the equation 2-12 below."

Truly a missed opportunity by Toby Fox. Hopefully the next deltarune chapter takes place in a library so all this exposition can be conveyed naturally

Okay. You know what, god damn is the game of Undertale making it difficult to write sufficient theories on what souls are. Im sorry, but if humans had actual physical souls in the real world, we would have dissected the living crap out of everything there was to know about how they worked at this point. Monsters get ur act together please.

A story where a drunken Tinder date goes awry and a secret millionaire must track down his love-at-first-sight with no memory of her face and only a picture of her feet on his phone to go by.

Title: Tinderella

Contrary to popular belief, there’s nothing special about silver that makes it particularly baneful to vampires. An individual vampire’s bane may in fact be any natural element; vampires whose banes are elements which comprise any non-trivial portion of the Earth’s atmosphere and/or the human body have simply been weeded out through natural selection. Fully 30% of all known cases of alleged spontaneous human combustion are actually people who’ve become vampires, only to learn (briefly) that their baneful element is carbon.

A few years ago a friend got me to read questionable content and described it as sort of slice of life centering around the integration of robots into human society. I was so fucking confused for so long. Early QC is centered around a not great love triangle and making fun of various trends and snobby indie rock people.

Having been into webcomics right when the medium was taking off circa 2000 makes for an interesting experience trying to come up with stuff you read as a kid that you’d actually recommend today. It’s like:

“No, not this one – it goes off the rails and gets super racist toward the end. And not that one, either; the guy who wrote it was convicted of child molestation in 2017, and some of the characterisation choices gain a very different subtext when you’re aware of the author’s proclivites. Hmm… how about this one? It’s got some really interesting worldbuilding, but I don’t recall much about the plot, I should re-read the archives to refresh my aaaaand there’s a weirdly sympathetic depiction of Hitler. Huh.”

True enough, I guess what I'm most concerned about is the continued employment of artists.

AI art won't take over art galleries, and they won't take over the most prestigious art jobs. What I'm more concerned about is the garden variety artists and their commission boxes. Fast food competes with local eatery businesses when it comes to simple nourishment on a day to day basis, but they'll never compete with bougie gourmet cuisine. I fear AI art will do the same for art, and occupy all the jobs where "good enough" is the goal, but nothing groundbreaking. Of course, this is exactly what AI is suited for, corporate stuff that sends a simple message, stock art. This doesn't compete with capital a Art but what I'm concerned about is how this raises the bar for artists trying to go full time with their hobby. If they can't get the small fry jobs because they've been outsourced to computers then it becomes much harder to work your way up to greater things.

the fact that yall is afraid of AI taking over jobs is just.. sad...

We made tools, machinery, robots and eventually AI so that they make our job easier and eventually do work for us, sustain our lives without us having to put in the time and arduous labor. isn't that just great? we will have free time to just do what we want without having to worry about not having food to eat.

"oh, but that's not what is happening! without a job i cannot have food to eat! it's those robots and AI's fault!"

that, my friend, is the fault of the rich, the mega-corporations and the greedy capitalists. they are exploiting and hoarding all of the "harvest" made by you AND those machinery and purposefully leave you unsatisfied and hungry so that they can sell it back to you, effectively trap you in an endless circle of giving them your labor and your money. the AI is merely just the tool, what it does depends on the wielder.

so, my dear friend, next time someone complains that AI and robots are taking human jobs, tell them to direct that frustration towards the top management, the big corporations, the rich people.

eat the rich. don't eat the bots.

Not because she's slippery but because she would eat the glue.

i know kaladin was also living in the walls for a while but that was more as a cornered animal, like an asylum escapee, or a squatter who you don’t know is there. Lift was born to make a nest and eat holes in your drywalls. It was never a question of why. Only glue traps can stop her
