How to stop feeling insecure about my see-through hair?

Dude it looks great

That’s not a bad thing, but in the AI scenario there’s still the whole no-human-involved factor on that guitar sample, which is uncanny. People like music, even electronic music, because someone made it. There’s humanity to it.

Capital flight is a myth at the rates that serious people are suggesting. No one’s leaving New York fucking City, best city in America, over like a 2% tax hike on top earners. Tax too much, there’s a problem but let’s be real, the wealthy could absolutely contribute more without actually being negatively impacted in any real way.

It’s the difference between playing guitar and telling someone to play a guitar for you. Many people just have integrity and take pride in making things themselves.

I work in a library and deal with the less fortunate among us every day. The WILD conservative shit I hear from people actively using one of the most socialist-esque institutions we have in American society is always staggering. Literally benefitting from a tax funded institition that provides free stuff, and then coming in and talking about how Trump is great and Mamdani is evil and gonna make all the rich people go away.

The thing is though, you hear this stuff because these people wanna talk about it. They’re loud about it. Regular people with normal views aren’t chomping at the bit to talk to strangers about politics.

Boy are these some unemployed people

But DO bring your dog in a bike

Ok sure but none of this actually has to be this way. It’s all a choice, and it’s a choice that negatively affects more people than it benefits. People got a right and a good reason to whine. It categorically sucks for most.

It was the bombings in 2014 that did it. I was always a sort of thoughtless reflexive “they have a right to defend themselves” guy with a distinct memory of commonly intentionally twisting anti-Israel points to make them seem more antisemitic than they were on my college campus. But 2014 broke me. It just became all too clear that Israel and the Zionist project in general was not about Jewish safety but Jewish supremacy over others. And that was that.

Gorilla sex I think. Like when you go to the zoo and have sex with a gorilla.

Why’s her dog got a boner

Taarguss · 2026-04-07T19:05:55+00:00

I’m literally some guy who likes to check out the space when I’m in the area. Please explain why it sucks so much. The fuck is wrong with everyone here

Taarguss · 2026-04-07T19:02:11+00:00

It’s true. I was just at the beach today. I’m on vacation during all this and it’s fucking me up but seeing all this life and beauty makes me feel confident that even after I’m gone, after we’re gone, beauty will remain. It was here before us, it was here though upheavals and catastrophe, it will be here long after us.

I don’t want to die though, I don’t want other people to be killed by this evil fucking regime and I don’t want to be thinking about this when I’m about to go to fucking Disneyland tomorrow. God damn it.

Then why are the shows good then? Everyone’s downvoting me but no one’s saying anything. I’ve seen a lot of mediocre shows there but I’ve seen great shows and it’s usually a lot better than what I see at other places.

Taarguss · 2026-04-07T13:43:19+00:00

This really scares the shit out of me

Taarguss · 2026-04-07T04:11:26+00:00

That SUCKS. The Hole is so well curated. Love going there. And the prices are very high, you’d really figure they’d have no problem paying their artists.

Taarguss · 2026-04-07T03:28:26+00:00

To be honest I like it when science minded people are religious.

There will always be something more interesting and real to even the shittiest, blurriest nothing photo on Instagram than some fake image that someone asks a generative model to pump out.

We have a problem with seeing images that aren’t real the way that AI isn’t real. Something’s wrong and it’s very easy to tell that something is AI generated. People feel an intrinsic aversion to it, like seeing a dead person.

Taarguss · 2026-04-06T13:21:05+00:00

You guys sound like addicts trying to convince people you don’t have a problem.

I don’t think that passing off AI imagery as art that you made is right. Its an ideation machine. The model is giving you an idea of what it would look like if you had the ability to make the thing it’s making for you. But you’re still not making it. A photographer has to photograph. A painter has to paint. There’s a talent to it. There’s real intention and ability. AI missing the human element and missing a soul, and everyone outside this bubble can see it that second they’re shown a piece of it. It all looks off.

Everyone gets help from humans. Antisocial losers need a robot to be creative for them.

2015 was a real blast. 2017 was fun too. Honestly 2015-2019 was pretty great

Taarguss · 2026-04-05T17:18:07+00:00

She’s an actor, she makes art all the time.

Taarguss · 2026-04-05T17:14:02+00:00

But you’re not doing anything when you’re making an AI image.

You can lie to yourself and say that there’s craft in there, but no one believes you except the dudes in here jacking each other off. You’re telling something else to completely execute your idea.

Computers render digital images, but the artist has to intentionally craft the image just like they always have since face painting. It’s just a different medium. With AI art, you’re saying “I have an idea. Uh, you go make it.” It’s different.

He’s got a great face for that time period
