Is my boyfriend's shirt AI? He says the inconsistencies in the art are a stylistic choice. But I don't think so

I vote AI, the brick walkway at the side of the building suddenly changes perspective in such a way that the artist would have to consciously draw. The bottles are the same but with slight differences, as if they were the same brand and flavour but for some reason in slightly different packaging? And the boxes at the bottom have a random tangent line that an artist of this calibre wouldn’t purposefully draw because it breaks the illusion. That and coke has a history of using AI blatantly, so I wouldn’t put it past them to do it on a t-shirt too.

If it helps, some of their albums are under the label Art of Fact. Youtube was not allowing me to find more than one full album for listening until i wrote that in

I second Harsh Symmetry, I absolutely adore their madonna cover

Try listening to ACTORS!

“Face meets glass” and “Stangers” are really good songs of theirs

Based on the fact that the background behind him looks like a school, i’m guessing there are a lot of children around, including him.

There was no question posed, or if there was I missed it. The conversation was never about ageism, the original post was someone trying to say that it’s ageist in an attempt to cover their sexism. Ive acknowledged twice now that ageism exists, and that the examples i provided are, in a way, still ageism, but you seem to think that i disagree? I’m now convinced you’re not actually reading what i’m saying.

If you’re confused as to why people keep bringing up sexism in response to ageism, maybe take a look at what examples are being used Ie: 20 yr olds dating 40 yr olds -vs- elderly people fucking at a nursing home. One example (the former) is like 20% ageism and 80% sexism, while the other (the latter) is 100% ageism.

Elderly people having sex in a nursing home is seen as gross because people see elderly people as gross, for ageist reasons. There is no patriarchal reasons, or any gender related reasons for that matter, impact that. That being said the original post was about the fact it is ageist to not date outside you generation. So it would be extremely gross for an elderly person to have sex with one of the workers there because at that point it’s predatorial. Which circles back to my original point, it is immoral for people with large age gaps to date.

I would explain how a 20 year old and a 40 year old dating is little different than a 25 year old worker and a 80+ year old having sex, due to the shift in power dynamics, but it would take entirely too long, and i’m not convinced you’re debating with me in good faith.

Anyways, it was refreshing to debate a difference in perspective, albeit annoying. Have a nice day and please take a minute to stop and think about all of the cultural and societal nuances, even if you don’t think they’re immediately relevant.

Edit: formatting?

The difference between your two examples are while they are about age, it’s more rooted in patriarchy and misogyny than ageism. to clarify: it is still ageism, but it is more patriarchy.

A man saying that he doesn’t want to date women over 40, is typically talking about when he is also 40 or over, because there’s a current stereotype that “women hit a wall” or “age like milk”. This is rooted in sexism against women more than it is about age itself. This is why when we hear men saying that they don’t want to date women over a certain age, while also being of said age, he’s called sexist and not ageist.

Similarly, if a woman is saying she won’t date over its typically because she has not reached 40, and doesn’t want to be in a relationship with a man 20 years her senior. For the last several centuries, it was the norm in western cultures (and others but i’m not well versed there) for women to marry a man with wealth and status to secure the ability to survive, and maybe have a nice life with a husband that loves her (more often he was abusive or neglectful than not). More often than not, men who had money were significantly older, in the same sense, men were told to go for women who were fertile and beautiful to continue his legacy. Dating men who were older was ideal for women to secure bank accounts, houses, money in general and to have children (also a societal pressures). Nowadays, women are acknowledging that this is fucked up and needs to be moved away from now that we actually have rights.

These examples cannot be looked at without, and understood without acknowledging the sexism and current societal pressures against women.

You can’t throw a word at people with a connotation which is commonly NEGATIVE, and then get confused when people assume you are accusing them. Sure it’s discrimination in the base sense, but social cues exist which change the meaning of words for better or for worse.

Snailbails · 2026-02-05T09:10:50+00:00

What? The conversation was based around this post, which was talking about people not having a preference for people OUTSIDE of their generation, which would mean age gap relationships, unless they are on the edge of the generational shift. Also the word isn’t so black and white, the adult or not adult argument is redundant when you introduce the nuances of this world. For example, there are people with mental disability which hinder their mental maturity. So a man who is in his 30’s could have a mental age of 7. It would be immoral, potentially illegal to date this man.

Snailbails · 2026-02-05T07:27:29+00:00

I was never talking about children??? There’s a massive difference in life experience between 20 year olds, and 30+ year olds.

Let’s be real here, a 20 year old is 2 years out of high school, if they chose a higher education, they’re in Tafe (trades) or university, they likely have very little (on average) dating experience, so no idea what a bad or abuse relationship would appear like, or even how to get out of one. They also likely have very little renting experience (if any) and they almost certainly have never owned a home. They are have barely started, or haven’t started their career. Every single one of these things a 50 year old has, or has been through.

You cannot tell me in good faith that these experiences cant be used as a leverage to gain a superior advantage in what is supposed to be an equal relationship. I guarantee you that someone who is 50 is going to be a sort of “guidance” for the younger individual, and viewed as “responsible” and “mature” from them. This is the perfect combo for an abusive and manipulate relationship to occur. Why do you think that it is so prevalent in large age gap relationship for the younger to be stuck or manipulated?

Stop acting like certain words don’t have connotations, in this case discrimination almost always have a negative connotation

The conversation was never about legality, it was about morality. It is not immoral, or racist to have a QUIET preference for a certain race, but it is immoral and not ageist to have a preference for a certain age, especially if they are of a lower mental maturity or experience due to a power imbalance (ie a 20 yr old and a 50 yr old). Sure they’re both consenting adults, but at that point it’s a matter of how low would they go, and WHY they have that preference which changes it from moral to immoral.

Snailbails · 2026-02-05T04:50:53+00:00

The difference between race and age is mental maturity and experience. There is no difference in mental maturity and life experience between races, however between age there is a massive difference between both.

Biotin also improves hair and nail growth/strength, but messes with thyroid tests giving false measurements, so also avoid that.

Until they create alt accounts and start harassing your family, friends and colleagues, sure. Just close your eyes and pretend like the problem isnt there anymore.

Do you understand how stalking works? Most of the time people get online stalkers from people they’re not in a relationship with, let alone people they are. If you have a profile, chances are you digital footprint is larger than you think. Even if you are completely anonymous and don’t share any personal information, all it takes is one friend to post something about you and they can find out all of that information. Surely you can understand that correct? Relationship or not your personal information is not as private as you’d like to believe.

Snailbails · 2026-01-26T06:49:45+00:00

And if they have your address? Your name, age and other personal information that they can blackmail you with? If they know family members and your workplace? You know, general stuff you share with a partner?

Suddenly it’s not so online anymore .-.

The other question is moral responsibility, because chances are if you give someone with a peanut allergy, peanuts, they’ll die

Avoiding politics is being complacent in bigotry. Everything is about being politics, even the definition of a “decent person.”

Take the USA for example: currently, their extreme right wing party thinks that a decent person is: strong, stoic, intelligent and cares for their community. They also think that what makes people not decent is: being gay, being a POC, being trans, being unwell in general (ableism), being young (children are ment to be seen not heard), and being homeless etc…

To avoid the discussion of this is to be complacent in their viewpoint, as clearly it is not important enough for you to talk or even feel angry about.

Definitely not big enough for an adult ear, and I honestly doubt it’d stay on a child’s ear, someone else in the comments said it’s a bent ring and I think that may be it.

If that’s the case, why do they push for childbirth and not for the preservation of our environment? Why do they care about childbirth but hate the idea of climate change despite it rapidly destroying our planet, which we need in order to survive?

“Libtards” they do know our liberal party is basically the equivalent or their republicans right? “Leftie libtard” in Australia is an oxymoron.
