This argument is shit and doesn’t understand what’s involved with photoshop or photography. Ai is little more than a sufficiently advanced chatbot.

With Photoshop you’re personally creating the end product in your vision. Sure there are tools to simplify some of the tasks involved but it takes knowledge and understanding and skill.

With photography, you are taking a still from the real world. It is difficult and requires knowledge abd understanding and skill. photography is, shutter timing, ISO speed, lighting, relative positioning, perspective, Depth of Field, etc.

Typing a prompt into gen AI takes nothing and what comes out is a program guessing what you want. Fuck you for not even bothering to argue for yourself.

Is national payment processing the solution?.. International public payment processing?

I mean yeah, anything can be true if you make bullshit up.

Hey google, is this media literacy?

not sure meme applies. just suggesting that I think it’s unlikely they found a specific, well known thread on a low-traffic forum naturally while ‘searching for something unrelated’ instead of through one of the dozens of places it’s been shared in the last decade+ … especially if they’re viewing it/linking it through the wayback machine instead of directly?

I doubt you randomly ran across this highly popular and heavily memed thread, that I’ve seen everywhere from NASIOC to YT to work.

I found all my old levels.

He was talking about terminal and hospice patients. People who were still alive

“Holy shit, Jackie Chan kicked grammas head off”

This is just a gift for big farm.

All that noise is a waste of our time to listen to. Who cares what they say? What are they doing?

Those posts read like chatgpt.

‘Degeneracy’ is just a dogwhistle

“regulated” doing a lot of heavy lifting

So masks are fine for fascists commiting mass arrests, but not for citizens protesting those same fascists.

I may be buying the foolishness of the masses, but your anecdotes are only as good as mine.

That’s shrimply not true. The numbers Tesla releases are heavily cooked.

Had a quick look around but I didn’t manage to find any numbers that weren’t either using Tesla’d numbers, or guessing.

But it’s pretty well known that FSD sucks (have been in a car using it … terrifying af) and that it’ll turn itself off before an accident to pass accountability to the driver.

Idk, sounds like they should develop as people then

It’s impossible to be perfect so you won’t even try?

Sure, a lot of other things indirectly harm queers, but it’s pretty fucking clear that support for HP, which includes maintaining it’s cultural relevance, is directly increasing the influence, wealth, and power of a single person who’s utilizing a lot of their time and energy on specifically trans hate.

Not hard to drop a shitty YA series, accept that it was in the past and there was no harm in enjoying it, but that continued support is pretty directly harmful.

I don’t get everyone and their eternal “but it was my childhood” crap. I look back on the content I enjoyed in the worst parts of my life fondly, but I’ve moved on to enjoying other things? I don’t need to keep a series from 20 years ago as a current force in the cultural zeitgeist.

(In relation to the current media landscape as a whole) Why people just consume the same content, the same characters, or the same IP repeatedly, as they continue existing in a more and more profit-driven way is beyond me.

That and if you’re not already avoiding big box stores as much as probable, that’s kinda on you. People have to eat, and often, work has to be done, and those monopolies often give you literally no other practical choice. HP is just a single series among hundreds and thousands of YA magical boy series.
