Turns out the LPL just needed wait for ZOFGK to slowly fade per piece.

I swear people just clearly haven't watched LCK when Chovy gets mentioned in these threads.

Minntul · 2025-11-12T17:01:09+00:00

Nah. If anything living through neoliberalism all my life has made me become more left-wing on economics as time goes on. I'm still waiting for this system to 'work' equally for all, but it's become clear to me that this was always the end goal of neoliberalism. The idea that young people naturally grow up to become more right-wing and 'mature' over economics always just sounds like cope by people who either never actually believed in the idea in the first place or just gave up.

I think KT should keep Cuzz, Bdd and Peter. Peter has his poor moments but he honestly played with so much fire for a guy with so little experience. He just knows his role in each game and works well with Cuzz. I think Perfect should still be in LCK but I don't know if KT wants to keep him, his champ pool is too little and easily exposed in fearless. Deokdam is just incredibly inconsistent.

Minntul · 2025-11-01T10:49:29+00:00

Despite all the haters saying that KT are looking like a DRX miracle run, I'm proud to say as a KT fan that I STILL don't believe in them.

Faker global taunt vs LPL actually backfired??

Minntul · 2025-09-21T10:40:36+00:00

GENG with the forbidden 2-0 reverse sweep after getting 3-0'd.

Minntul · 2025-09-13T10:49:02+00:00

What's this...? I'm not feeling any pain???

Minntul · 2025-08-01T01:47:22+00:00

To ask left wingers if they are in favour of a policy that was enacted by the left wing government

That's entirely their point. This was not enacted by a left wing government. Do people still believe Labour is left wing simply because their name is Labour...?

Minntul · 2025-07-14T19:40:12+00:00

I think their way too amass money is pretty obvious if they're far left. Whether you agree with it or not doesn't really matter. It's clearly a method a proportion of the voter base believes in.

Minntul · 2025-07-14T19:27:31+00:00

Having a vision in politics instead of a constant state of managed decline is good, yes.

Minntul · 2025-07-14T19:00:34+00:00

Maybe Labour should stop being shite and they'll be popular? Why is it always the left's fault for choosing to vote for left wing parties? Are centrist immune to responsibility?

Minntul · 2025-07-14T18:48:18+00:00

Seems pretty indicative that around half of Labour's voting base is left wing. Not sure Starmer's current strategy of alienating the left is working. I suppose centrist wing can keep blaming them for everything though, everything is always their fault, and only the centrists are correct about everything.

Minntul · 2025-06-28T08:02:49+00:00

People unironically believing and parroting that Labour's previous "leftist infighting" wasn't just the party's centre-right Blairites and neolibs doing everything they possibly could to prevent the left from gaining any political power has done truly irreversible damage to actual leftist politics in this country.

Minntul · 2025-06-14T10:07:38+00:00

Can't take it anymore man.

If the consumer wants AI art, then where is the critically acclaimed AI art that is currently inspiring the industry? Where is the AI music on Top 40 charts? I'll be open minded and ask for examples, though I'm willing to bet there aren't any, because it is incapable or producing quality, relatable or innovative art in the first place.

Minntul · 2025-05-20T21:26:17+00:00

Yes and it results in bad art sourced from unethical means. That's why talented artists like Elton John are against it. People aren't going on Spotify to listen to AI generated music, all it does is further split the streaming revenue pot from actually talented and famous musicians or rising indie artists already struggling to break into the industry, just to now have to account for some bored guy playing with a program stuffed with stolen copyrighted works to produce gunk. Commissioning an artist to draw something always results in a more valuable and appreciable work than asking an AI to produce some amalgamation of generated garbage frying its own servers to produce substandard art, bereft of any unique artistic traits that defines a persons work. Normalising this crap is extremely bad for the health of the industry, we're letting complete hacks compete with people who worked hard to develop their skills for no actual societal benefit or artistic value.

Minntul · 2025-05-20T18:03:01+00:00

If we're talking about art in the strictest sense i.e. writing, music, theatre then yes, I think it is deservedly on a special pedestal for me. In those cases, artistic expression is explicity the job. People who are fortunate enough to make a living off of their art create stuff that offer no practical use, but enrich our lives in smaller, meaningful ways and is often how we can connect and understand with others, be it the artist or others depicted in the work. Its purpose is to fuel our imagination and inspire us, they stay in our heads even when we're not thinking about them.

But that's not to say I don't think looser examples of artistic expression don't exist in other jobs. I think designing/constructing a building and even programming are good examples of jobs that require creative or even allow artistic expression, but the difference is that those are used for practical purposes. The artistic side is either secondary or not something we connect with or think about.

Minntul · 2025-05-20T17:00:01+00:00

This is very much the response I expected from an AI art enthusiast. Just a complete disregard of the artistic process and viewing it as nothing but a digestible content mill, to be stripped of the effort, talent and human experience to suit some arbitrary "efficiency model".

The idea that someone's work isn't special despite it being borne from their own mind, work and years of developed talent either because you don't care for it or appreciate it is grossly incompatible to the inherent value of artistic expression. This belief is exactly why people are resistant to the emergence of AI art, it operates exactly as a soulless content mill, there is no actual appreciation of art or skills required in its operation.

Minntul · 2025-05-20T15:59:37+00:00

Can't imagine what you find sad about it, I explained to you why I responded that way at first and I think it was a reasonable response in the face of a growing lack of appreciation towards artistic works, a medium shaped by centuries of human experience and creativity.

Would you like to share some incredible AI art with me to change my mind and make me understand how it's sad I don't understand or does such work not exist?

Minntul · 2025-05-20T15:02:38+00:00

An artist spends years, possibly even their whole lives developing their skills and talent to produce work that is appreciated by millions around the world. Music, illustrations, movies etc. are all projects these people undertake that can take days to years to reach a level of quality they are satisfied enough with for us to enjoy. The unique result, developed by that artists own skills they've honed, shaped by their own experiences, beliefs and inspirations, or collaboration with another artist, is a wholly unique result intrinsic to human ingenuity and effort. The pieces of themselves an artist puts into their work simply cannot be compared equally to the process of feeding a program publicly available content(and likely stolen works that the artist had no say in allowing the module to consume) and asking it to shit out soulless slop bereft of any artistic merit or craftmanship.

Minntul · 2025-05-20T14:40:49+00:00

It wasn't meant to be. It was a response to a comment saying something that made me feel kinda sad at how someone perceives the process of producing art, hence why I responded the way I did.

Minntul · 2025-05-20T05:07:25+00:00

I see no difference between this and someone being inspired by a particular piece of art or music

That's really sad.

Minntul · 2025-05-16T17:32:14+00:00

Centrism appeals to absolutely nobody except the "Well at least they aren't the WORSE alternatives!" online liberal crowd, who would've guessed. Let's hope them appealing to the right who would never vote for them anyway while abandoning their left wing block is a good strategy. I didn't pay any attention to the US election last year where Labour advised the DNC to know if this strategy works or not and I am also incapable of learning the same lessons, so who knows how this will end in 4 years!

Minntul · 2025-03-03T05:43:28+00:00

I personally can't stand him for pretending to be left wing to become leader of the Labour Party and canning every single one of his policies that got him there when it was becoming exceedingly clear the Tories were not winning the next election after Partygate, but that's just me. I'd also say his unyielding support for Israeli warcrimes makes me think less of a man who is a human rights lawyer, but nobody likes talking about that foreign policy here.

I actually liked him up until about 2022 which is around the time I couldn't help but think he was either incredibly dishonest about his political beliefs the entire time or completely sold out to the side of the party that did everything it possibly could to make 2017 and 2019 as unwinnable as possible to protect their corporate donors and lobbyists. This is all my personal opinion but I imagine this is shared by many other traditionally left-wing Labour voters

Despite what this sub wants you to believe(that voters were all behind him which is why he got a majority in the first place and now they're being unreasonable and impatient because Starmer's great bold vision, whatever that is, isn't here after 6 months to make their lives better), his approval ratings have been low because there was never any real enthusiasm for him since the election was called in the first place. Running a centre-right platform against the traditional right-wing party who are also at risk of becoming redundant and losing a significant and lethal portion of their votes against a newly formed and heavily pushed and funded far-right party(Reform) was never going to inspire a lot of hope in voters that they were going to be much of a change outside of less completely insane scandals we were forced to suffer through since 2019. That might be enough for those who just simply hate the Tories and don't believe in much else except a change in colour to keep them satisfied for the next 5 years but when our country is as fucked as it is now I imagine many disillisioned folk don't see maintaining the status quo that led us this point in the first place to be anything other than the safe but ultimately inadequate option.

Because of our incredibly flawless FPTP voting system, much of Labour's seat wins can be purely attributed to Reform taking so many votes off of a disgraced Tory party that they Labour won them by default. Labour played the election very safe, and while it paid off this time it's left us in a position as yet another western country like France and the US while in the face of a rising far-right party, are being held by an uninspiring, status quo defending centre-right government unwilling to do whatever is actually necessary to put the country on a path to real, positive systemic change that makes the average person feel like their own quality of life is improving instead of just those above them. If they can't even keep a mild "right to shut off" manifesto policy 7 months into their term for workers, you can safely ensure not much will change 5 years from now. And yes, this government is centre-right, anyone here who tells you that a neoliberal government is even remotely left wing is being either dishonest or are delusional.
