I use em dashes – the entry into any word processor is two dashes, just tell it not to autocorrect to an em-dash.

But also realize the furigana there is pulling a cursed jutsu - you’re asking it to pull up the “english” (wasei-eigo) reading of a word, and not it’s actual reading.

The practice of using alternate readings is real common in fiction, where the furigana will have the fictional reading and the Kanji explains what it means. Fujino Omori, writer of Dan Machi loves constantly doing that.

The other use of it is as a what is said / subtext. The furigana is what is said, but the kanji is the subtext, like: “ことば” (words) over "告白” (confession).

Usually its being too poor to have a shop fix something for you, and being forced to do it yourself.

Used to buy a book like the Chilton’s manual where it has instructions for performing repairs on your vehicle. They have an online version:

It’s one of those things where Psychiatry could theoretically be a proper discipline, but is instead a state-sponsored regime of quackery to get people to shut up as quickly as possible.

Its also likely field dependent, I have pretty much gotten every professional job I have had through aggregators, its worked for me 4 times now - though latest one was through knowing people.

Hands?

Falafel?

I was making a joke about producing slop and “the libs” at reddit.

First, the term “deeply unserious” which has been used around here for quite a while is starting to percolate out into those spaces, meaning it is waning as in-group language here.

Second, is “Just put the fries in the bag, bub”, is a classist meme about dismissing someone straying from what they are expected to do.

Third is the “dead dove bag” image, which looks a bit like a fast food bag, and implies something is what it says it is and that something is negative to anticlimatic, like opening a bag that says “dead dove inside” and finding a dead dove.

It’s a rather poor joke that your job is producing more slop memes about “the libs”.

Just put the “deeply unserious” in the bag, bub.

Burninate?

I am lucky enough to live along the rail line that connects the east coast to Chicago. It is the main connection between population centers. There are only 2 train lines that pass through, each line only has one train in both directions. (total 4 a day, 2 east, 2 west) No service during the day, only early morning and late night.

Rail service is a joke here.

Our buses are more of a suggestion even if they go to where you want.

I mean, I’m on the second time traveling after leaving a job - but I’m going for a couple months.

To me, pardon the term, but hysteria about AI generated content as some sort of cooties that taints whatever it touches is silly.

AI content generally not art because there is not the same intentionality behind it in an ontological sense, in the same way pretty patterns that naturally occur are not art. You can be inspired by whatever, I’d just call you a shit artist if you trace some AI content and call it your art.

You could argue that it is possible to be art in the same way that guided natural processes can be art, using tools does not immediately make something not art, but looking like art also does not necessarily make something art – it is an interplay between an artisan and their tools to shape the world with intentionality. I think its just a higher bar to clear with tools that could possibly make some of the “creative decisions”.
