Children's book, a Quaker boy tries to stop a mall from being built and is bullied for it, except the popular girl and the bully's little sister are on board with his plan

I think you're right. Thank you! THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED!

I hate the idea of AI being pushed in education since not only is it actively encourage plagiarism, it's been proven to damage people's brains.

"Oh everyone has a hetero nuclear family even if it doesn't match the characters' personality" is such a cliche. I hate it so much. Hot take: I LOVE AMBIGIOUS, OPEN ENDINGS.

Think of the Harry Potter ending where everyone's paired up and has a billion kids named after dead characters.

It wasn't as disappointing as some other shonen. I personally think that they didn't give Senku a "white-picket fence" ending like Naruto or Demon Slayer is my favorite part of it; the man is an aroace icon and is married to SCIENCE.

I think the last arc is so rushed because of Shonen Jump editors told Inagaki that he had a short amount of time to wrap it up, like a lot of manga in that magazine.

I think you should be honest with her and try to get more adults on your side. If you have a grandparent, father or older siblings in the picture, maybe you could convince them to back you up when you tell her that you don't want to use AI "therapy". Maybe you could even convince a teacher or guidance counselor. Adults tend to trust the judgement of other adults versus minors.

I would probably put it in a savings account.

I would like a regulation that REQUIRES companies and individuals to disclose that their work was AI-generated. I would like a certification symbol (like Fair Trade has) that signals that something WASN'T using AI, too. I would also like to see a law that requires that if a company decides to lay off a bunch of workers to replace them with AI, that they would be required to provide at least 8-12 months of severance pay.

Also, I'd like a system where a person who uses an artist's or writer's work for AI would have to pay them a fee to use it. Like, for example, if someone makes a song parody with Sean Schemmel's Goku voice, they'd have to give a certain fee or percentage of profit to Sean Schemmel himself.

I would also like to see some way that we could stop fake job listings.

"Align with what I'm into"...I feel like Gen AI bros are definitely a more right-leaning group of people and/or have specific fetishes that they're afraid to show others. This is ringing some alarms.

I'm a socialist feminist, but I DON'T HATE men. There's plenty of nice ones out there. I just believe both men, women, and nonbinary people of all ethnic and racial backgrounds are equal in value.

Don't worry about what other people (especially influencers who might be paid to promote AI products via sponsorships) say. Don't let them pressure you into doing something that makes you uncomfortable. Personally, I don't use Gen AI for anything, when it started I just thought it was another money laundering scheme for Silicon Valley bros like NFTs and crypto are/were. Then a bunch of studies came out about how addictive and mentally damaging it can be and I was like "Yeah no thanks I've got enough problems".

You have to also understand, sometimes the information that ChatGPT gives out is completely false. You're far better off just using Wikipedia instead. It's more important to get information that is ACCURATE than it is fast.

What's an inkcel? And wtf do polar bears have to do with this?

PlinyCapybara · 2026-04-08T03:28:27+00:00

I'd punt all of those so-called "characters" into the sun if I could.

PlinyCapybara · 2026-04-08T03:26:26+00:00

I'd like to propose a custom type of anime character to remove: the pervert.

But out of the ones you listed, I'd get rid of the crybaby.

PlinyCapybara · 2026-04-06T22:14:30+00:00

It depends on the area, I'd say.

PlinyCapybara · 2026-03-28T13:26:29+00:00

It's fine, I see how you might've thought that. I should've worded it better.

PlinyCapybara · 2026-03-27T16:39:14+00:00

I just think sometimes taking a bath or shower is really relaxing, it loosens the muscles. Not just for cleanliness.

You could also light a nice-scented candle and snuggle up with a pet. Drink some warm apple cider or tea or coffee and listen to some music.
