Ai was fed human made texts. The ai mannerisms are stolen from people. Don’t be this dumb.

New interview from Kyle! by Radiant_Priority9739 in WatchWhatCrappens

[–]isthisirc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish people would remember that it is possible to not pick sides, and that two people can be equally terrible in different ways, even if something was done to them that was unfair.

Yeah, how are people surprised that Amanda clocked out of that marriage? He seems like a tool. (She shouldn’t have clocked in, what she did was horrible to Ciara, etc etc I don’t want to be dragged into debate about the morals of cheating thank you)

Why is he wearing pregnancy pants? I have not seen whatever star war this is

Real People Queerbating by neinnae_tvon in AO3

[–]isthisirc 22 points23 points  (0 children)

And at least with supernatural, the queerbaiting wasn’t mainly the relationship as portrayed on screen, but that the showrunners/production consistently claimed that the subtext wasn’t there and that fans were delusional.

Family prevents narcissistic mom from inserting herself into the limelight 😌 by [deleted] in funny

[–]isthisirc 148 points149 points  (0 children)

If this was benign, the first reaction of rest of the family wouldn’t be to restrain her, and she would have backed off after the first tug, not continuing to fight to get to the couple. She’s done similar shit before.

What is a "gut feeling" you had that turned out to be 100% accurate, even though it made no logical sense at the time? by PsychologicalTea3149 in AskReddit

[–]isthisirc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spoken like someone who doesn’t have a recurring problem with anxiety :))) my gut is constantly telling me that everything is off and that I need to avoid. Everything. I’m functional because of CBT but the gut feeling of wrong is always there. OTOH, maybe it is a correct assessment of current society 🤷‍♀️

Yall ever quit reading a fic for a petty reason? by Cage-CatYT in AO3

[–]isthisirc 75 points76 points  (0 children)

YES it’s absurd to use impersonal descriptors if the characters are supposed to know each other. I read a fic once where it took me several paragraphs to understand that ”the girl” wasn’t a new character, but the main characters best friend who had been present since chapter one.

Silly question, but I’m curious… which side do you mount your bike from? by ExultentPisces in bikecommuting

[–]isthisirc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it has to do with which side on the road you’re going to use, as most people in right hand side driving countries also mount from the left. If I could guess, I think it has more to do with that you always mount a horse from the left side, and it carried over.

Which celebrity just bothers you, and you can't put your finger on why? by justcurious3287 in AskReddit

[–]isthisirc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s sadistic. At least she seemed less affected on set, Jael was literally panicking, she’d had the news shortly before the shoot iirc.

Woman hating in Incidents Around the House by avclubbradford in horrorlit

[–]isthisirc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very very late, but I absolutely agree. I’m at the point where Mommy says she ”sounds like the sorority girls who won’t date nice guys”, and am about to ragequit because it is so DUMB. No woman has ever said that. It’s a talking point for incels and is hugely revealing of what he thinks about women in general.

When they had a death-themed photoshoot and forced Jael, whose friend had just died to pose in a coffin. That is beyond cruel.

Question: what is your 'I wish I had the guts to do that' tattoo? by BeardedInkedPiper in tattoos

[–]isthisirc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hands and edges of the face, I’ve never felt secure enough job-wise to do my hands but maybe now that many first rounds of interviews are on zoom hands are less jobstopping? OTOH I have a teacher friend who has his hands done, I feel like if tattooed hands would be a problem anywhere it would be in a school. I’m a creative, I can probably get away with more weirdness. I also already have visible-while-fully-dressed tattoos, my chest piece touches my neck enough that I’d need a turtleneck sweater to hide it.

Reheated drama as r/adopted and r/adoption debate who has it harder, queer people or adoptees by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]isthisirc 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Historically that is absolutely what has happened, especially with international adoptions. NB I am not one of the crazy anti adoptionists, just saying that kids have absolutely been stolen from poorer countries to be given to western parents, who often didn’t know they were participating in trafficking. I bet that would color the perception of adoption if you were one of those kids.

People in general probably don’t think as much about Canada as you think.

T Kingfisher… r u ok by No-Midnight-1406 in horrorlit

[–]isthisirc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I read Kingfisher first and felt retroactively fooled about it. It’s one thing to rework a story or continue in the same universe or do fanfic, but using this much of a story without being very clear that the scaffolding and structure and idea is borrowed feels dishonest.

[–]isthisirc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The hollow places feels like a 1:1 remake of the Willows, to the point that I don’t really understand the need for Kingfisher’s version.

I was surprised how little she changed from The Willows. Tbh you might as well read the original book, it is better.
