It's not good to talk about this openly because you can attract its attention by saying its name. But there's an Algonquian spirit matching the monster in the comic. You can probably find it by googling "Algonquian myth hungry spirit". The way white fiction writers have appropriated it as a symbol of "evil native american culture" is disgusting. This is a much better example that doesn't use the monster as a cheap exoticised gimmick.
It's so pretty and the characters are all very likeable. You've got the traumatized himbo, the self-loathing floofball, Mister Hubris.... it's great!

Frieren also does it
If they designed a directory tree without knowing what a directory tree is, it sounds like they know what a directory tree is, they just don't know the word, and you can't explain the word properly.
Slop
I respect the people who say machines have consciousness, because at least they're consistent. But you're just like me, and won't admit it.
Anyone can understand a directory tree. Not everyone is smart enough to explain it.
Consciousness comes from the soul, and souls are given to us by the gods. That's why AI isn't conscious.
Everyone's is, fellow p-zombie
How they don't understand that a LLM can't be conscious is not surprising
It's because they're all atheists! They don't know that souls are granted to humans by the gods.
Why are you booing them? They're right.
Kidnapping implies isolated incidents and criminals working outside the government. Disappearing points out that the government is responsible, it's harsher language

The only scientifically accurate scene in Jurassic Park has a little boy say the velociraptor looks like a turkey. They knew dinosaurs were chickens, they just didn't bother showing us in movies.
He submitted the form, but nobody will process it and let him stop working for them. It's impossible for him to leave.
We can manipulate the dems to our own purposes. But in order to do so, we first need to admit that the dems are fucking stupid and can't take hints.
AOC has the right idea, she's speaking their own dumdum language to manipulate them into not sucking.
Forcing someone to be your employee against their will is slavery, right?
In order for nonviolence to work, you or your allies have to implicitly threaten violence
"Aren't you tired of losing all the people you love," I said to the fellow immortal
"No," he said. "I've grieved a thousand times. I'm very good at healing now. A good therapist helps."
"Oh." I wondered why I'd never tried that.

Video game characters should swear when they get hurt
Forget the grunts and moans. When a mudcrab attacks my character, I want to hear "god fucking dammit" and "fucking shitbiscuit" from my character. That's how people actually sound when they get hurt.

Stay safe out there, folks

Harry and Ron were always bored in class because Rowling's magic system is boring as hell
A lot of people point out that it doesn't make any sense that Harry and Ron didn't like their schoolwork. Well I figured out why:
It's because the magic system is just as boring in-universe as out of universe. It doesn't make any sense in universe either. Harry and Ron realised Rowling's magic system kinda stinks way before we did, because they spent all day learning it.
If Sanderson had been writing Harry Potter, then Harry and Ron would have liked learning magic as much as Hermione did (Also, Sanderson actually DID write a book about a super-school, it's called Skyward, it's good)

How fast can the body absorb vitamin B12?
Let's say I'm vegan and I need to take vitamin B12 supplements to be healthy. Furthermore, let's say I have ADHD, I forgot to take them for a month, I feel like shit, and while I know to take them now, there's no guarantee I'll remember tomorrow.
If I were to take 2 tablets today, an amount which I surely need, would my body actually absorb all the B12 it needs, or would I piss out the second tablet? Do I have to wait until tomorrow to absorb the nutrients my body needs now?
