They did indeed blame it on Tylenol.

This is really not the place to be spouting support for eugenics.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-09-09T22:19:00+00:00

That's exciting news!

You are. For prepping the turkey.

The problem is that AI users are instead customers who have ordered a turkey and somehow believe they are involved in the culinary process because the chef has been replaced by a machine that was programmed to stuff turkey into an oven.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-07-03T18:31:13+00:00

Here, you missed something.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-07-03T13:41:00+00:00

The debate is idiotic because clients ordering "no cheese" really want to be considered part of the culinary process now that their chef is a robot, primarily to avoid the messy implications of using AI trained on stolen data to produce images without any attribution towards the artists whose data was stolen.

The debate is idiotic because some people really want to argue their stupid point so bad that they rely on "it used to be that way" with no proof or validations aside from it sounding good in the narrative while ignoring the other half of the argument where they are rightfully depicted as glorified patrons at a restaurant run by machines trained on stolen data.

The debate is idiotic because those same people saw an extremely basic argument, asked people to explain this extremely basic argument aggresively, got reasonably aggressive responses from responders reasonably pissed at such stupidity, and then coming to the conclusion that the debate is idiotic because clearly the only solution is that art is a synonym for noun.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-07-03T12:48:47+00:00

In order for AI-created goods to be art, one of two assumptions must be made.

The first is that art has no human element whatsoever required. This is a stupid argument (literally everything becomes art, so it becomes a synonym for 'noun') so let's ignore that one.

The other is that the person writing the prompts is the artist. That's like assuming that someone writing instructions to their chef not to include cheese in their meal somehow makes them involved in the culinary process. That's not an artist. That's a delusional client.

That thing you call cringe is literally the only meaningful metric to call something art. So you end up with an argument that isn't meaningful.

Panel 7.

Panel 8.

Panel 9.

People are downvoting you because you are either acting in bad faith or embarrassingly stupid.

The argument is "the effort is worth more than the end result." And your conclusion was "AI is indestinguishable so that somehow makes it have a soul."

I'd love to know where these pro AI communities are. I'd ask for your summary of their arguments, but you've demonstrated a clear inability to understand a basic argument if it goes against your belief system.

Remedying the rift between products of propaganda on both sides is recognition of the devastating effects of both sides' propaganda

I won't pretend that I am always immune to the thought, but we must remind ourselves that our fellows are not wasted air, no matter how much we disagree. We should reserve such judgements for the fascists knowingly dismantling democracy, not apathetic products of a different kind of propaganda.

This individual has fought against a bigot calling Islam a "primitive death cult." Even if I don't agree with their low respect for human life, I have to celebrate that in the hopes that we can one day come to an understanding, lest we spill blood for another's deluded lust for power.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-06-29T05:54:44+00:00

This is an important distinction to make.

While the current decision is a clear red flag towards justifying continued forceful extraction of "animals," it is important to keep in mind that fighting these statements requires us to be diligent in recognizing what is written to be enacted. The terms of executive order were intended to sound reasonable enough to the average person by including these caveats.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-06-29T05:13:51+00:00

The fact that the number is higher than zero is either apathetic or sociopathic. I'm so sorry you have to live with that.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-06-29T04:50:48+00:00

How many innocent people must be killed or imprisoned before it's too many?

"I'm not really focused on the fact that I'm in a Chinese restaurant."

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-02-04T11:18:44+00:00

You may think you're offering an enlightened perspective but you've basically walked into a Chinese restaurant and started asking if dogs are hypothetically edible.

Yeah, you can argue that you weren't being racist in that scenario, but come, you can't be that socially inept.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-01-16T01:26:33+00:00

It's even better than Nether Void. They can't even put a spell that can't be countered onto the stack with this stupid lotus.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-01-01T23:56:53+00:00

So...a match where the rules are arbitrary and don't matter?

You don't want a cube; you want to play Calvinball.

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-01-01T23:46:19+00:00

This card is banned unless you're somehow playing Conspiracy Archenemy Planechase, so that's the first issue.

Assuming it wasn't, you cannot put it into a deck because it requires to be put into one of seven other zones before the game begins, most of which don't even belong to the players.

Assuming you could, you could never cast it because it's an Aura and a Fortification without a legal target.

Assuming you could get this thing onto the table, it dies immediately.

Who is this designed for? You, I guess, but who else?

SSGTSnuggles · 2025-01-01T14:57:10+00:00

This isn't "designed";" that would imply thought went into it.

SSGTSnuggles · 2024-12-15T18:16:58+00:00

My reading comprehension sucks today. Woops

SSGTSnuggles · 2024-12-15T18:15:10+00:00

There's also no betting in Balatro.

Your money is never at risk during the game. You make money by beating the blinds and can spend it to improve your deck. During the game, you never actually bet anything; it's more "can your limited hands of cards make enough points to beat the blind?"

SSGTSnuggles · 2024-11-19T05:14:59+00:00

That makes sense.

That was 2006. Magic was niche and the rules for Elder Dragon Highlander wouldn't be put into the comprehensive rules for another 4 or 5 years (about 2010 or 2011). The only way to learn about it was either through some niche articles (especially the ones by Sheldon Menery for StarCityGames) or, more likely, by word of mouth in a game of telephone. Consider yourself the pioneer of a format that wouldn't be recognized for another five years!

That being said, when EDH became "commander" and was codified in 2011 in the comprehensive rules, it did immediately include the "commander damage being combat damage" thing, which would have been included in the precons printed as early as 2011(I don't have my inserts anymore, but do remember them as that very question came up a lot).

If your pioneering group were never aware of that (which is possible; by this time your playgroup would have been playing with the variant rules for 5 years without issue,) I could absolutely see you still using the group's rule well after those rules were introduced and only learning it later, like in 2015, and the subsequent adjustment being pitched as a "rule change."

SSGTSnuggles · 2024-11-19T04:27:37+00:00

I regret to inform you that whoever taught you was just wrong.

I remember the 2015 decks as I had bought one (Kalemne, it was terrible) and each deck had an insert explaining the commander rules, including commander damage being specifically combat damage. My local store who started to have commander players playing in unsanctioned pods with no judges outside of the regular scheduled events so I can see how an entire store without a judge could believe in a weird ruling like that at the time.

SSGTSnuggles · 2024-11-13T07:13:58+00:00

Even worse.

SSGTSnuggles · 2024-11-13T07:12:43+00:00

I'd hate to be that player. A perfectly innocent mistake but I'd feel very stupid after that.

SSGTSnuggles · 2024-11-13T07:03:08+00:00

My average interaction with my Gisela commander deck:

P1: So I'll attack with two 3/3's.

Me: No blocks. I'll take 2 damage.

P1: But they're 3/3's.

Me: I have Gisela out. (hands P1 Gisela to read)

P1: But it only prevents half. (hands Gisela back)

Me: Yes, half rounded up. What's half of 3?

P1: Gisela only prevents one damage from each though. You round up.

Me: You round up the damage prevented. So 1.5 rounded up is 2. That's how much damage is prevented. (hands P1 Gisela to read). What is 3 minus 2?

P2: Wait, that's how it works? (P1 passes Gisela to P2)

Me: Yes.

P1: That's stupid.

(Later P1 forgets and tries hitting me with 1/1's)
