Right? I’m happy he won, but he’s just a mayor. It’s a step in the right direction, sure. But I think some people are vastly overestimating what he’ll be able to accomplish.

An uncut sandwich is better than a horizontal cut sandwich.

Again. Total horseshit.

Skip out on the bad moments if you can! Are you crazy?! Live your life! Don’t simply choose to accept monotony just because it exists! You’re saying you shouldn’t try to actively avoid bad moments?! What the fuck kind of grin-and-bear-it nonsense is that?!

This comic reminds me of the same gripe I had with the movie Click.

The message seems to be “Life is short and precious, so appreciate every moment, because it’ll be over before you know it.” Which sounds nice, and sweet, and thoughtful, and is complete and utter horse shit.

There are times when life just plain sucks. When it’s boring or tedious or even torturous, and it would be 100% worth skipping if you could. When you have a headache at the airport and have just found out your flight has been delayed by 3 hours. When your tooth cracks at 4am and you’re waiting for hours in agony until a dentist opens up. When you finished a long work day and just want to get home and collapse, only to find the roads are blocked in a massive traffic jam. These are not fulfilling experiences. You do not learn or grow in any way, except to become more tolerant to enduring unfulfilling experiences. Of course it would be better if you could skip those things!

Everyone in the comments speculating, but no one bringing up the obvious: for the past couple years, 90% of the posts and replies in those kinds of subreddits have been bots. It’s become painfully obvious when you look. Dead Internet Theory in action.

Same punishment as a brick, or acid, or a bunch of razors. Really makes you think.

Well, I’m here to eat crow. I’ve grown to just assume the worst will always happen and genuinely did not think something positive could occur. While some BS could still happen, I will admit that maybe things aren’t always hopeless and I was wrong for believing that to be the case.

Better ban the ocean then. I heard millions of people decide to go swimming in it every day and some of them drown.

Is a picture of a sunset art? If the photographer chose a particularly scenic view and took several pictures before deciding on the one they felt was best, is that not art? Does the photographer have to, personally, hike to find the vantage point and take the picture for it to be art? Can they use a drone instead? How about just feeds from a camera someone set up? If the person looks through a feed and takes some high quality screenshots of a particularly vivid sunset that moves them, and decides to frame it and display it, is it disqualified from being art because they didn’t create the sunset and just selected the image from a series of images they were looking at? Is it slop if they decide to digitally remove a tree that was blocking the view?

This is the problem I have. Every argument against AI art inevitably closes the door against some other form of art that the arguer would otherwise consider acceptable. I know you’re not going to like or accept this answer, but the reason it’s so hard to have an argument that only applies to AI art and not any other forms of art is because AI art IS art.

It’s art, because art is subjective. The moment you start trying to define it or gatekeep it, the meaning will slip through your fingers like grains of sand.

Brain rotted.

Sorry, they’ve been defunded. Best they can do is have a guy from Fox News with no scientific background waddle out and claim Climate Change is a hoax made up by the demoncRATS. Maybe blame it on the Jews too, if AIPAC hasn’t been donating as much lately.

It’s 🥺🥺🥺 because it’s a fake story made by a child.

And then I started vomiting it was so cute. The dog collapsed from joy and also started vomiting, as did the trainer. Soon the whole terminal was vomiting and crying tears of happiness. And then we all fucked as doves flew overhead shitting out rainbows and butterflies.

Because it’s the New York Young Republican Club? It’s not any actual politicians calling for this. It’s a bunch of incel trolls jerking themselves off to videos of Andrew Tate and having wet dreams about how fucking funny it is for America to do a fascism.

Do you… Not know what Hunt is?

No they aren’t.

Don’t feel bad. I don’t even own a mop. Just a broom and a vacuum that gets used less than you mop.

I hate this simplified take, it gives people the wrong idea. They aren’t trying to physically get Venezuela’s oil, just like they weren’t trying to physically get Iraq’s oil. In fact, the US would be pleased as a pig in shit if not a single drop of oil ever left those countries. What they are trying to do is start another war to control the price of oil.

The US produces plenty of it’s own oil and is a massive net exporter. They do not need any other country’s oil, except for oil with different weights (which no one ever talks about, and the general public is barely aware of the differences). But when other countries start selling oil for cheap, the US doesn’t like that because it weakens their place in the global market. THAT is the reason for these kinds of wars, the US wants to control the price of oil. Not necessarily the oil itself.

So while saying “it’s a war for oil” is technically true, it lacks a lot of context and makes people who only look at surface level facts think the US is on some “I drink your milkshake” kind of crusade for finding oil, when it’s really just about price control.
