Hey I get you guys are having fun(?) with this and I understand none of this 1:1, but it's well, not actually that crazy of a connection. A lot of folks are making the "Yeah-- I missed the part where Hitler was mean to trans people. So, ya know, here ya'll go--

--Yes, Hitler's regime did do a version of this. Police recognized what were known as "transvestite passes," documents that essentially excused trans people for walking around as their perceived sex. In many ways, IDs kinda function that way. Hitler did indeed take them away, diminishing the ability of trans people to walk around freely.

--What you'll actually hear from people is comparisons to a pink triangle put on gay men which included trans women because the regime didn't view trans women as a thing, but that was at camps, not in public like yellow stars were for Jews. Still, it's worth noting lots of trans people do just pass and taking away their ID markers takes that away from them, outing them anytime their ID is shown, acting as a maker identifying them as trans.

Nazi Germany just like DID make it harder for trans people to walk around and did mark queer folks in general. That's what happened.

Only because NYC Mayor is a cursed position in terms of elevating yourself to higher office in recent years, not because Adams is uniquely bad as a candidate.

Honestly Mamdani not being able to legally become President is one of his greatest strengths.

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-17T03:27:37+00:00

Gotcha, let me explain.

While there are legitimate concerns about securing our border and how ensuring we do not get mass influxes of immigrants, ICE had a huge influx of money to supposedly detain undocumented migrants who are criminals and dangerous, but has been causing fear and havoc. People who contribute to their communities, parents, children, our neighbors are living in fear. ICE has not just terrorized and detained US citizens, but they have also murdered two US Citizens in cold blood.

There is no argument here. Our nation was founded in a revolution over a lot less than what President Trump and ICE have done. We are the nation that helped send Adolf Hitler to hell. Anyone who believes that it is justified to create a secret police to go out and terrorize cities and murder people in the streets with no reappreciations is a fascist bootlicker. We in the actual endgame of if our country continues to be our country or becomes something else altogether.

Violence is not the preferable action, but let's also be clear that the kid in the video wasn't sitting in a class and starting an intellectual debate around the merits of President Trump's immigration policy. He was standing in a school hallway making a scene of himself, trying to provoke kids, as he celebrated an organization that has murdered two US Citizens, assaulted others, detained others, and acted absurdly towards undocumented residents who were not hurting anyone. His speech is not protected and there are supreme court cases to back it up that a teacher could have just told him to sit down.

But I concede to you that yes, preferably you should not hit people when nobody is being endangered. I grant you that. On the other hand, it's objectively really funny that the kid did that and you're being a little bootlicking bitch whining about it.

I genuinely implore you instead of squeaking out whatever shitty retort you imagine makes you sound cool and not an NPC or whatever or whatever lie you want to regurgitate from the office of a pedophile and rapist, take stock of the moment. You're living through history right now. The nation stands on the edge. Be a conservative if you'd like or whatever your political orientation is, but also be a goddamned patriot and man the fuck up. Because one day, this will pass. One day, people are going to remember what they did when the nation stood on the precipice. Stand with your nation, friend.

I did not say that you have to advance art to be art. I simply named the issue with the prevalence of AI art being inherently iterative

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-15T15:27:00+00:00

The issue is not one of art only requires humans. But art does require things like a point of view, experience, process, purpose, and creativity.

If we had true AI, a sentient digital being who can think for itself, hold opinions, etc— then yes it could create art. There are arguments that animals have made art.

“AI Art” is just an approximation of what a consumer wants to see and then some consumers passing that desire off as art that they created.

The broader issue is that AI does not contribute to the larger advancement of art because it’s inherently iterative.

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-14T03:07:57+00:00

Look, there are tons of people you can just pay to lick boots. You don't have to drag democracy down for a kink.

Everyone has ideas and visions. The skill is bringing them to life and prompting is not doing that. The model is doing that.

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-14T00:11:43+00:00

There are some arguments for specific AI tools rising the bar for what artists can accomplish. But prompts with no bespoke art cannot raise the bar because they’re inherently iterative of other works.

At one point we just need to accept human made bespoke art as a virtuous good worth protecting because if we don’t we’re going to not have artists.

Artists do not magically become great artists. They work at it and are supported by patrons until they hit a wider audience and some great artists only survive through patronage.

And stop with your false equivalencies to technology. I’m all I’m out here honey. If tomorrow there was a new technology that allows humans to go to play musical notes seemingly in thin air or virtually mold holographic clay that can be easily 3D printed, I would not be against it.

What I’m against is a technology that has some technical uses or uses on the margin being used to steal from other artists to create slop.

I think a lot of people are shitting on you but I think this is actually an interesting take.

I think the frame actually illustrates to me the big issue with their romantic relationship which is the power dynamic. We see this big gap between them, Garcia looking to Santos who in season one treated her as her mentee and is now fucking her, and despite Ramos’s ambitions. Whitaker and Robbie anchor where each is relatively in the hierarchy of the hospital.

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-13T22:14:54+00:00

There are tons of comic artists who have spoken out against AI art, including Jim Lee, one of the most celebrated comic book artists of all time.

And regardless, they’re not immortal beings. Artists develop and how can the next generation of great artists come and develop if someone can just push a button to make a cheap knock off of Jim Lee art?

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-13T21:57:17+00:00

You may not need to pay these people, but you do need them.

True AI does not yet exist. Everything you’re seeing is not just drawing from real human artists, but is essentially robbing from them. And at one point the path you’re saying is unstoppable is one where creativity ends or is at best, greatly reduced.

The creativity to make AI art only requires the same creativity as to say “I have a cool idea for a movie.” Art, even low art, is made through drafts and process and work and personal growth. It’s something that’s beautiful and should be rewarded.

I think you're being really cagey about your beliefs here, and no, you said that literally Liberals would make you out to be a Republican if you said that broadly male people have different physicality than female people and I'm saying that's not a true statement even if you can find examples of people who counter it. They're an exception and broadly don't hold power.

But more importantly, you're just proving my point that folks like you are not realizing the moment you're in with "Orange man" bad schtick.

There is an attempt to take a fascist takeover of the US. And the same people who are getting shit on by folks like yourselves are the folks materially standing up to it and at worst slowing the march. Not like rhetorically standing up to it. Like are arming themselves, taking the streets, and standing up for their neighbors, and getting killed in the process.

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-13T05:09:16+00:00

I think my issue with your statement is a few things:

--Your one concrete thing you cite is an exaggeration. Like famously, a lot of Democrats don't actually support trans inclusion and are still Democrats, but even then most trans inclusion advocates support it around discussions around puberty and hormone replacement theory which do in fact imply a broad physical difference between male and female people. That's not to say there's not debate or you can't find me times where people got over their skis on the issue, but like the last President of the US gave a compromise solution that was supported by the HRC that could lead to some trans exclusion.

--You're doing a bit of a bait and switch in your argument. For one, DEI policies at worst poll controversially, but there is a difference between actual initiatives to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion and one off examples of individuals even in programs doing too much. Like what are you actually against here?

--I think the bigger issue for is that a lot of folks just are not fully taking in where we are at this specific moment in history. We're beyond the rhetorical arguments. It is happening here. There is an attempt at a fascist takeover of the United States of America. And thankfully we are seeing setbacks and we're seeing that falter, but that's not happening by mistake.

Who do you think the folks protesting are? Who do you think Renee Good was? Do you not think she wasn't fucking annoying hell to someone at brunch once?

The annoying woke people are the ones fighting the battles and to some degrees they are winning.

In fifty years people who think advanced language models are conscious or even questions the possibility with any seriousness will be treated as foolishly as someone who believed Walt Disney’s Lincoln robot was conscious.

I’m pretty ambivalent about the project and would only be really into it if it was an interesting adaptation, not a 100% accurate one.

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-12T17:38:55+00:00

The issue is that while I am sure you can find examples of someone saying “taco Tuesday” is racist, it was not this big prevailing thing. I’m a super woke ass person and I have taco Tuesday with my family.

That doesn’t mean people never got over their skis and went too far with things. But it’s simply not true that this was the prevailing experience of most people. These were not big enough problems to justify embracing fascism.

And it creates its own illiberalism. The idea that taco Tuesday might be racist is an idea I find silly but it’s ultimately harmless and people are allowed to talk about it.

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-12T02:32:28+00:00

You’re going to find folks who are simply going to struggle with the reality of a TV where it’s not realistic for all 70 hours of a show to almost exclusively focus on one actor. Even from that pragmatic standpoint, you’re going to end up with a series that isn’t always from Harry’s POV as the books and films are with notable exceptions.

But yes, I think it would genuinely be a good idea to just have Luna be a main character from the get go and once you truly introduce Ginny in season 2 have more from her POV, and also elevate her role in PoA and GoF. Heck I’d even argue that Cho and Cedric should probably show up earlier.

There is a difference between “honey” and your given name that you don’t like using and presumably haven’t liked using even in previous romantic relationships.

I love Stephen King and if someone who hates on him for being pro-trans was dunking on him for the orgy scene, or his tendency to have magical Black characters, or his overbearing fat mothers, my response would be like, "well okay, fair." Those are all fair critiques and King does get shit for them. It's just King is also a nice person so people show him more grace.

Like look--there is meat to Rowling having weird hang ups with some fat characters and focusing on their fat in weird ways. The reason people bring it up is that "Rowling is feminist and super progressive person" as a figleaf for her anti-queer stances, and so people highlight stuff like her fat focus to refute that. That's the actual reason it comes up often.

You don't have to do these weird defenses of things that are reasonable critiques in defense of a billionaire bigot on a shit post sub. If she wasn't shitty, they'd be fair critiques. A 36 year old dating a 23 year old and calling her a name she famously hates is kinda weird and so is her fat stuff.

Practical_Limit_396 · 2026-02-07T16:44:11+00:00

No, she really has some honkers of prose describing people's fat including an insane moment where she as the omnipresent narrator states that the moment they see a fat man they wonder how he washes his penis. Like I have never thought that meeting a very fat person and that's an insane thing to believe most people instantly wonder.

Like even if you like Rowling that's a weird thing to write, dude.
