When you get two cats, how do they decide which one will have a tiny chirp like a pixie’s doorbell and which one will wail like the ghost of a jilted bride?

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;
most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!

Today we've arrived at the Conclusion of Shakespeare in the Kitchen where I write about "Trout / The Tempest" 🐟
Caliban is called a “strange fish” by the shipwrecked Italians who arrive on the island in Shakespeare’s Tempest: Caliban is also a cook.

Chapter 7 - "Capons / 1 Henry IV" - is especially dear to my heart because it overlaps with work on temporality in the Henry IV plays from my first book ...

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post
Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts
