This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

With the "5'2"/Fine Too" conversation happening again, there's a term for this specific phenomenon: Mondegreen.

When you mishear a word or phrase, especially in song, and create a new word or phrase, that's a Mondegreen. The term itself is an example of one.

I'm 5'7" so if one woman was 5'2" and another one taller, I'm not gonna lie, the shorter one has the edge for me. Me and short women together go together real bad 😂

That said, I always thought the 5'2" thing was a joke, too. It's *very* obvious what he's saying.
When we talk about people not using context clues, my generation can't talk, because I never understood why there was confusion on if Lloyd said fine too or 5'2" when the next words are "BUT I want you." Like which makes more sense in that sentence?

Aye my guy........ My friends in loving relationships do NOT be on social media commenting on other people's relationships unless it's being helpful. They DO NOT give a fuck about none of this.

We're the bastard child Jack Dorsey abandoned, they want to forget about us like Hive and Mastadon 🤣🤣🤣
Since the majority of internet traffic is from bots…how do we know that the people we are chatting with *on here* are real people? Maybe it’s more likely to be real since this is a niche app. But still. That’s scary.

Regardless of.... EVERYTHING surrounding the album that came out later, On The 6 is actually a really good album. I still have my original copy and bump it from time to time. It captured a moment, especially for her, that can't be replicated.
Srry but everything about this was perfect. From the composition to the timing! I loved that it dropped during the Y2K panic, and it was on Making The Video on MTV and miss mamas was getting burnt up by those green lasers and serving anyway 😭😭😭

Been staying with someone for the past week and finally realizing that I have so many neurodivergent friends because my Black ass is absolutely autistic. I've been called out for years and now I owe some people apologies 😅

A wishlist of Bsky account features:

-Remove followers
-Let soft blocking work (forces an unfollow)
-Mark people who constantly follow/unfollow as spam.
-Private accounts
-Verification isn’t tied to display name but your handle.

This is a wishlist, not an invite to tell me why it can’t work.

Weird shit every time a teacher said this LMAO
Legitimately every time couples say "we're trying for a baby" it just means "we're doing it raw A LOT and he's shooting the club up every time."

I always thought that was odd to be something you can just freely admit in mixed company.

And if you have sex on your birthday, you are having sex to commemorate your parents having sex (if you not surrogate)
