i’m abby now

"Maladaptive habits" and "addictions" are not identical phrases.

Asserting it over and over, contrary to evidence, science and reason, does not make it true that people can get addicted to porn.

Fewer, I think

Also there are artists who put out a great major label debut, then seize back creative control (tm) and it turns out the quality on the debut came from the production professionals and they stink on their own lol. (this is definitely not anyone Krystal listens to lol)

among bands that last, very few of their best albums are their first imo it's much more likely to be the third or fourth

I think even for a lot of the bands people are mentioning, it's their 2nd major label album that falls off, and when that happens it's the label's expectations fucking things up. A lot of them have a string of mediocre indie releases before their breakthroughs

Sold weapons to the Khmer Rouge and instigated the war in Afghanistan, though

Be wary when you sniff the voids face for the void may sniff yours too

Oooooh you want one

Ex-CIA pete likes that part of course

That's true, I'm mostly the same, but that doesn't actually answer the question. Is the market still growing, will it continue to? Hard drive prices are way up as well.

Is it actually still growing with hardware prices the way they are now?

I knew, because I can and did pay any attention to both history and current events at the time.

It was so obvious they were lying.

Yeah dude is just straight up lying about that

Fun Fact Time! Bee didn't do those things but a bunch of people told lies about her as part of a harrasment campaign because they didn't like being called out for their racism, a shameful and disgusting tradition you're' now a part of! Congrats, you racist piece of shit!

But seriously dude if for some reason you think there's no way the ***republican congressman*** is lying about this, why on earth would you assume knows what he's talking about???

When I think of honesty and accurate understanding of social issues, I too think of republican congressmen. I am kicked in the head by a horse 2-3 times per week

and that's so clear in your work!

using tools someone else built. I don't think that has to mean everything is predictable to you, (or would it even be experimental lol) but something like, you have to have an idea of where the unpredictabity is happening in the process

really interesting topic, frustrating context

I was just thinking about this, too, and thinking about your work with vintage tech glitches. I don't have any conclusions but I think one of the threads has to be that you have a high degree of understanding of the tools and process you use; you have to capture intention, it can't be thoughtlessly

Yeah this screams slider abuse lmao

Your original point stands really strong; most generative AI results look just like slider abuse

Pisses me the hell off too, because there are so many actually good tools that could be made with these tools but they've gone all-in on creativity destroying perfectly smooth average image creation instead

"left" image placed over the original at 50% opacity.

I'm probably never gonna willingly use an adobe product that's newer than 2022 again

I think it's also very likely that someone was dragging sliders around that ended up doing way more than they ought to

There are way too many shapes in the feathers that are different for this to not be AI

Butttt that's just this particular example, there are so many examples where people just don't know what you can do with photo manipulation on its own

If you're agreeing with Singal you're a transphobe, yes

There's pictures, idiot

That's not really true anymore, though. Most recruits are middle class from above median income families. The strongest predictor is family history of military service.
