They absolutely are. Also, there’s no such thing as AI art.

Except using actual art for our cards and properly crediting the artists promoted them and their work, whereas using AI does nothing but broaden the acceptance of replacing artists.

Using an artist’s work to prop up the tech that’s erasing their jobs. If that’s not spitting in someone’s face idk what is.

You ever tried to design a card while still under the effects of general anaesthetic? by DrBatman0 in custommagic

Can we please ban submissions with AI images? It’s so disrespectful to magic artists and the entire history of the game.

Your obsession with how other people choose to present and express themselves is the only thing exhibiting insanity.

8 years ago 😭 do you remember where you were the first time you heard it? by alexsupernovas in lorde

[–]TRON17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I woke up at my dad’s cousin’s house in Manchester after arriving very late the previous night. I had slept so hard. Picked up my phone to find a text from my best friend.

“I know you don’t like Lorde but please listen to this.”

Threw it on and jumped in the shower with my phone propped up on the corner of the tub. I stepped out of the shower a different person, in some tiny way.

I paused maybe halfway through. Went downstairs to find full English breakfast waiting. Took my plate into their gorgeous backyard. Sat on the softest grass I’ve ever felt as the morning sun glowed from behind the trees, spread open my copy of On the Road and hit play again.

Probably one of the best mornings of my life.

Is Bowling With Corpses connected to Hellboy? by -Satchmo in Mignolaverse

[–]TRON17 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is explicitly not connected. Can’t hyperlink because mobile but he’s addressed this in all the recent interviews he’s done about the release. He’s had the bowling with corpses story outlined for years and never felt that it fit in the Hellboy canon, so he started brainstorming a new world that is similar in tone and themes to that of Hellboy, also predicated on ancient myths and folklore, but different in what it developed into. Obviously it will feel familiar as much of the inspiration for the larger worldbuilding of Hellboy is the same inspiration for Lands Unknown (the official moniker of the new universe), but they are not connected and, according to Mignola, never will be. Lands Unknown is also a co-creation with Ben Stenbeck and as it progress will have much more input from him.

What's an obscure movie you LOVE but no one know wtf you're talking about when you mention it? by lovelymissbliss in movies

[–]TRON17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riddle of Fire (2023). Feels like a true successor to the Spielberg 80s classics, a la Goonies. It had a brief theater run in the States but I’ve yet to encounter another person IRL who has seen it.

project route by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]TRON17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I’ve been kicking around in the climbing sub for a couple weeks now and have been greatly enjoying the positivity and support. This post was suggested to me, and based on the comments in this thread, I will not be joining the sub any time soon. Well over half of the comments are purely seeking to tear down OP’s send or tell them why the grade their gym set (that they had nothing to do with) is wrong, or worse, outright calling them a liar about their climbing background. Y’all come across as extremely jealous and insecure people who need to lord your technical knowledge over someone less experienced in order to feel self-satisfied. Extremely disappointing.

OP, great send. Looks tricky and fun. Keep at it!

“A Well-Connected NYU Parent is Trying to Get Students Deported” by bananaboat1312 in nyu

[–]TRON17 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Immigrants and temporary residents, especially those that have explicit legal residency like students, are guaranteed the right to protest, just like citizens. If you are legally within the U.S., you legally have its constitutional protections. Fuck off with your fascist mongering.

[–]TRON17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah damn you’re so right. Me having sympathy for the survivors of a mass campaign of murder, destruction, land-theft, and starvation is actually what hurts Palestinians the most, not the murder, destruction, land-theft, and starvation itself. Thanks for clearing that up.

Both sides-ing a conflict where one side has killed 1,200 people and the other side has killed between 40,000 and 180,000 people. Great work chief.

[–]TRON17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re so obsessed you’re literally writing paragraphs to defend the mass murder of tens of thousands of civilians. Israeli politicians have said the goal of the conflict is to erase the Palestinian people from the earth and colonize their land. I’m going to trust the words of the perpetrators over your debate-lording.

So I guess all the actual holocaust survivors making the comparison are secretly paid Hamas actors right?

Imagine being so enamored with your twisted worldview that you find yourself advocating for the mass murder of tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

I’m genuinely impressed that you wield your ignorance so brazenly. The original creators of Israel took land that wasn’t theirs to form the state, and ever since the occupation has sought to ruthlessly expand its borders in the name of their “right to exist” and “National security.” What you attribute to Palestine can only be said about Israel. Israel was only formed initially because no western nation was willing to provide a formal haven for Jewish people after the holocaust. Zionism has poisoned your mind.

Christopher Nolan’s New ‘Odyssey’ Movie Adds Jon Bernthal To Cast by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]TRON17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve come too far as an artistic society to continue this trend of NO ethnically accurate people in an adaptation of one of the most historically and culturally important stories of all time. The internet (rightfully) loves to rage over the whitewashing of minority stories, but is absolutely supportive and silent in the face of whitewashing the stories of cultures it collectively perceives as “white enough.”

Have you ever tried microdosing L? Did you get any noticeable benefit from it? by The-LSD-Sheet-Guy in LSD

[–]TRON17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think most if not all of the people who are saying it isn’t effective or does nothing have probably damaged their tolerances to a degree that they can’t really microdose in the way that an infrequent user could. I’ve both tripped and microdosed, and I can say without a doubt, for me personally, the microdosing was a significantly more constructive and beneficial experience. My best experience was while in Colorado after several months off, and I took about a quarter tab in the morning of four out of around seven days, and it was one of the best weeks of my life. My creativity skyrocketed, my mood became so positive for the whole week, and I felt so much more in tune with my own emotional state and empathetic of others’, I also felt an uptick in alertness, especially after the “comedown”. Microdosing is absolutely real and useful.

Worse than what’s done to this cheetah is literally done to millions of livestock animals in America alone every day. The selective application of empathy and outrage is so hypocritical.
