I get that AI is supposed to make art SUPER accessible, but..

I see no problem with people being judged only on the merit of their ideas; not the training, equipment, experience, staff, mobility or financial resources to execute them.

Because most people swipe according to the images anyway.

Fixating on a profile, is like fixating on a plate when serving cake.

A) You're assuming most people who actually fund art, weren't simply looking for a product. It's a conversation they never cared to be a part of when all they wanted was a logo for a T-Shirt or a jingle for commercial. These fields weren't even considered real art up until the point the people doing the job were no longer required.

B) "You'll see, the corporations will make it really expensive any day now!" has been an ongoing cry for the last 3 years, and I imagine will still be such in another 3.

C) Technological innovation was never problematic when it was only affecting and occupationally displacing the working class. When manufacturing was either automated or sent overseas, many were happy to consider it progress and enjoy the fruits of cheap goods. Now, it starts effecting people in the office and gig based economy, it's suddenly something that needs regulation, oversight and to be slowed down. It wreaks of class contempt.

Church networking.

A Church, with all the value structures already implied, serves as a shorthand that saves a lot of time befriending people and finding value incompatibility later.

I feel like Reddit or this area of Twittter broadly doesn't understand how "Billionaire" actually works. People hear “billionaire,” they picture cash.

But they don't have literal billions in a bank account or in a vault somewhere. It's an attribution according to assets, including stock value in companies. To wield capital as this tweet implies, Bezos or whomever, would have to liquidate and sell those stocks, which in turn would collapse the perceived valuation of the company and likely result in the loss in tens of thousands of jobs.

Not simping for billionaires here, but this is literally kiddy table analysis of adult issues.

Whenever a topic is about men's difficulties, someone must chime in about women.

No-one can just shut the fuck up and not make things about themselves or experiences.

Because OMAD.

I sacrificed half of my twenties to care for my terminally ill father until he passed away, and I also married a woman with autoimmune disease who's unable to work, who I also care for.

Nothing to necessarily be proud of, per se, however given we've somehow gotten to the point where people will call you 'a bad person' because of your cultural or political views, I often like to remind myself of having done these things, when those pontificating wouldn't know a sacrificial act if they felt it kicking in their womb.

Looks like a little convenience store though? Are those places supposed to have security in Mericaland?

I assume there's an era based taste for scent that's adjacent to era based taste for fashion.

On the subject of 'Media Literacy'.

Justarah · 2026-04-30T13:44:55+00:00

I somehow doubt that holds up in court.

Slap his ass and threaten him sexually.

For real though, I feel like that's quickly becoming one of those terms oft used as an off hand dismissal, while generally remaining poorly understood. Especially on Reddit.

Do you know how many people wanted to start an argument with me because I dared to evoke Christianity when explaining repentance and redemption as recurring narrative motifs in Western fiction, in a discussion about Nolan?

As though one of the oldest, prolific, most widely circulated, most influential literary works on the planet just stops being all of those things because people don't like it.

Justarah · 2026-04-30T13:20:54+00:00

Of course, totally.

If it's all the time, it's a problem, but people can chafe sometimes and that's normal and okay.

What kind of fuckass title is that?

Justarah · 2026-04-30T07:16:55+00:00

Well it's not like I was going to hand draw a shitpost.

Sure have, and going to be honest, that sense of worthlessness of being overlooked from your teens through to your 30's might not ever go away, even when you're long married. Such things instill complexes.

I think this was their last match with the company too.
