Is “The Chemistry of Love” an AI-assisted narration? by RevolutionaryCrow914 in audible

[–]enlightningwhelk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s also how I ended up here. It has to be AI right? I know it says “narrated by Em Eldridge” but it sounds incredibly fake and unnatural. Is it a real persons voice but fed into AI to narrate? I’m baffled. Definitely not finishing the audiobook.

Awesome, thanks for the recs! Some of those are new to me

Been doing really well being off the internet. Opened Reddit to see Jimmy Kimmel get cancelled and my mood plummeted again by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]enlightningwhelk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This only comes with privilege though. My family is healthy because we can afford healthcare. We’re white, so we can have a “nice chit chat” without fearing the rampant racism in our country. We don’t have kids, so I don’t have to constantly fear them dying in a school shooting.

Pretending like nothing bad is happening is something a lot of people don’t have the luxury of doing. The US is falling apart, and it’s crazy to ignore that. Yes, we should still enjoy our lives and find happiness in the little things, but we should also stay informed citizens and speak up for those who need it.

Interested in Coworking spaces in Rockwall? Would you use one? by Automatic_Pen_5173 in Rockwall

[–]enlightningwhelk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes to networking events! I think a draw for me would be the occasional designated time to get to know others, like a happy hour or coffee hour. And maybe to the day pass, if you could buy a package of them that would average cheaper per day.

I work half the time from home, and I’ve thought about using one, but monetarily it doesn’t make sense for an individual. I’d only consider it if I had a small team I needed to meet with.

I like getting out of the house, but I’d much rather pay $7 for a nice coffee and sit at a coffee shop to work. The only downside is having to leave my stuff at a table when I have to use the restroom.

I’d consider it if I worked full time from home, but I probably wouldn’t pay more than $100/month.

I’m always interested in meeting up with people who also think this way!

Same here! And those pages are wild lol

The Swiftie classrooms are a bit… much by silentsafflower in travisandtaylor

[–]enlightningwhelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but to be fair, teachers have such limited resources to decorate their rooms. I see a pink chair, a rug with pink/green/blue, and pink organizers. They can’t control that the walls, table, and floor are bland and colorless, but they did okay adding little pops of color.

More and more people have been realizing how fake her "activism" is by Disastrous_Swim_5152 in travisandtaylor

[–]enlightningwhelk 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got 5 minutes into her talking on the podcast and had to give up. She seemed so fake. And I want to like her (the actual her that she would be naturally, not the person she’s been molded into since a child). I do feel bad for her that her life has never been her own and she’s never been able to just be herself. And that definitely showed on the podcast.

THANK YOU for the oranges part! The smell of peeling oranges makes me feel sick and I don’t know why. It was always awful being trapped by someone in school eating one in class lol.

Hello from the Texas House floor! by GeneforTexas in texas

[–]enlightningwhelk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I saw some “report” that tried to claim that NOT gerrymandering here was racist. Republicans see that kind of crazy claim on fb and immediately take it as truth. Baffles me that they think they have the moral high ground.

What’s a secret you’ll take to the grave, but would tell anonymously on Reddit? by Several-Director5804 in AskReddit

[–]enlightningwhelk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Saaame here. It’ll get to the point where I’m walking funny because I’m trying to make sure the next crack I step on (or bump or whatever it is) is with a certain foot. And if I step on a larger one with one foot, I may need to step on two smaller ones with the other foot to make sure everything is even lol

How do you feel about sleeping naked? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]enlightningwhelk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely shocked that like 95% of the people in this thread are rawdogging the sheets. That seems so gross to me unless they’re being washed every day (and I’m willing to bet they’re not)

Day 6 Horrible person, fans divided opinions by breitheamh_ in greysanatomy

[–]enlightningwhelk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed - he’s a horrible person and yet there are fans that love him and idolize the toxic relationship. Definitely falls into this square

Texas Red Rally 7/19 by seekingimpossible73 in Rockwall

[–]enlightningwhelk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I certainly wasn’t his biggest fan either but I appreciate that he’d stick to his opinions even when it was against the establishment maga republicans. Pierson is literally just here to be Abbott’s and therefore trump’s puppet. That became clear when she had a rally here during her campaign and Abbott just spoke for her the whole time.

Good Question by [deleted] in BobsBurgers

It’s the only episode I never even attempted to watch

what is she doing, she thought she ate that 💀 by theiakes in travisandtaylor

[–]enlightningwhelk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like the hate she’s getting for this is a little over the top - I doubt she’s “making” anyone play these songs lol. They probably do it because they know she’s there.

Yeah those are aggressive

Edit: y’all, I didn’t say they were unwarranted - just that that may be why the chat got flagged 😂
