As a retail employee, I’m so tired of the standard Muzak that Christmas music would be a blessing tbh.

I’m doing better, thank you for the concern.

Wife doesn’t love me, least not the way I love her. Just had the talk, this post is downright brutal right now.

If AI prompting is the only tool involved I agree. If it’s being used as just another tool in the artists toolkit it’s a different matter. For example I’ve seen people combining their photography with AI via masking and it’s about as respectable as collage art in my opinion.

I was looking for this comment. o7

Nine times out of ten the customer is busy wrangling their items or dealing with their kid. Instead of awkwardly waiting, hand outstretched, I put the change on the counter. I then start prepping for the next customer as we’re timed on the whole process.

Holy shit that’s frightening.

The irony of her being the original Sargon of Akkad’s daughter is kinda funny to me.

If your horse is on death’s door. And you’re crossing a stream. You’d better be prepared to swim.

I remember being a kid and seeing a sign like that and assuming it meant that it was illegal to use cruse control on that street. TIL otherwise.

Meat-eating gains are stolen valor apparently.

We need a film like Threads but for the climate catastrophe.

To be honest I never expected the BSA would attempt to reform itself as much as it has. I was in a very homophobic troop, a scoutmaster of mine vented to my grandma that all the queer people ought to be put up against the wall and shot. I’m glad things are improving but I don’t think I’ll ever see the organization in a positive light.

I feel this, it pisses me off so much. The scumbags are jingoistic as fuck up until the conflict is an ANTI-imperialist one.

What mental healthcare specifically are you talking about? Everyone would ideally be getting mental healthcare. So what additional steps are you suggesting be taken with regards to trans people? Are you arguing against informed consent or for a different standard of care entirely? I cannot tell from your other posts what you actually support, only what you’re opposed to.

You’re being evasive, specifically what treatments are you talking about? Everything from conversion therapy to electric-shock treatments have been attempted in the past without success.

some people want hormones and puberty blockers to be the only way in reducing dysphoria and a big part of that wants surgery to be the only way. calling everybody bigots and fascists because you disagree with someone only shows how weak your arguments are.

What do you propose to reduce dysphoria other than gender affirming care? Y’all talk a big game but you have no alternatives that aren’t abjectly cruel whilst being entirely ineffective.

For real, most of the people in this thread have no idea how any of these tools work.

There’s a lot of noise in the image, it looks like they didn’t spend a lot of time dialing in the generation parameters.

I can enjoy a good AI generated image but this one feels especially lazy.
