But yes, I do not like the implication of "I do not like you, therefore you deserve to starve to death"

Considering that starvation is the leading cause of death by "lack of money", yeah

When we live in a society where we need money to survive through manual labor, and automation comes along and takes away what was otherwise stable jobs,*of course* people are going to be afraid!

That being said, I do not like how AI looks.

@vicedrhino.com I have to say, the irony of them trying to criticize the existence of trans people, while believing in a god that does not line up with reality, was not lost on me

First time I read Scarlett Letter, I didn't know who the father was.

It's like calling George Orwell an authoritarian for writing 1984

Art is not endorsement. History is not endorsement. Fiction is not endorsement. Reality is not endorsement. Endorsement is endorsement.

Could somebody see some art and be inspired to do it? Yes. But the same argument could be used against real events, real history. Somebody could see Adolf Hitler as an inspiration. We see it today.

Art is not endorsement. Art can be used to show endorsement, but art is not inherently endorsement.

What I mean is, just because somebody enjoys video games involving crimes, it doesn't mean they're (inherently) endorsing said crimes.

The jokes write themselves.

If you meet somebody with no confidence, they're either inexperienced or have intermediate skills. However, if you encounter somebody with extreme confidence, they have a low skill set, and only know enough to be dangerous.

Fox News is also trying to push a "Charlie Kirk" act, a form of torture wear, if you spread """misinformation""" that contradicts conservative talking points, you are forced to watch Charlie Kirk videos until you agree with them.

Yet if anybody proposed a liberal equivalent, heads would roll

Hey, I get this so much, and I hope I never come off as ever pushing you away.

Honestly, I don't even know my political orientation anymore, and part of me feels like it really doesn't matter

"Wow, the face-eating leopards I let out now want to eat MY face!"

Seems I'm 2⁵ now

Isn't it interesting that the people who scream that "healthcare for all will never truly be free" are the same people who are fine with the fact that data centers get "free" power by passing the bill onto residents?

I stopped making art because I could never be satisfied with anything I ever made. Anybody satisfied with my mind honestly felt like they were selling themselves short for my sake, which just did not feel comfortable.

Yeah, I admit the reason I stopped streaming is twofold:

I got to the point I was consistently streaming to nobody, even with 60-odd followers. Streaming to nobody killed the vibe and any potential enthusiasm.

I just ran out of free time to be able to stream

*hugs*

"I believe in you"

I know you probably mean well, but believing in me isn't going to change who I am, what I am, or what I can do, so like... Don't?

At least, don't vocalize it to me???

Been working on my new desk loft thingy.

It's almost too big.

I'm tired of people taking "humble" to mean "willing to let people walk over you"

Every anti-trans argument I've heard basically boils down to "but I personally don't like the fact they won't be able to have kids" - as if that's a legitimate reason to prevent someone from transitioning (it isn't).

Nor do they cause ROGD - of which rapid onset gender dysphoria is pure pseudoscience.

Like, "they" isn't exclusively a plural pronoun, and anyone insisting it is, is engaging in revisionism.

Oh, when people say "do [so-and-so] next", that's calling for violence, but when Elon says "fight back", it suddenly isn't?
