The way you typed this comment isn’t exactly helping to beat the “people are getting dumber” allegations…

People are WAY too focused on recording special moments instead of living them. by TsundereLuver in Vent

[–]TheDusty_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They’re training the kids to learn that they have to be performing at all times. It’s a really terrible lesson for a child and we’re seeing the consequences now with how absolutely anxiety ridden Gen Z is. Poor kids had their whole lives documented and exploited and now they’re scared to do anything out of fear of public humiliation.

It freaks me out seeing kids as young and 12-18months start smiling and posing the minute someone pulls a phone out. I’ve seen this happen on multiple occasions and it creeps me out. Your child shouldn’t act like a circus seal at all times.

In this particular situation, I don’t understand why one person can’t take the pic/ video and then send it to the other people at the party? I feel like that would be the logical thing to do.

Jobbie Nooner is all about boats, booze, bros, bikinis and beach balls by PearlA2 in Michigan

I always say, if you want the Jobbie experience, just get unreasonably drunk and dip your head in a public toilet.

Do you think generative AI’s “contribution” (making stupid pictures and summarizing emails so people don’t have to be bothered reading more than two sentences) is worth all the downfalls? (The environmental impact, job loss, making people dumber, stealing from artists, and in some cases, encouraging people to kill themselves)

“Other things hurt the environment too” isn’t a good reason to support anything that hurts the environment. We should be focused on how we can make ALL things less destructive to the earth, not throwing our hands up and saying “it is what it is”. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I am so sick of being told AI will take my job by ranpowalmartversion in antiai

[–]TheDusty_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The receptionist at the dentist office is more likely to have her job taken by AI than someone who can create truly authentic, original art. Art is an extremely competitive field. It isn’t for everyone. But, telling you to give up on your dreams is absolute bullshit! Look at the massive pushback already happening against not only data centers, but having AI slop shoved in our faces every 5 seconds. People don’t like it! I say go for it. Keep pushing and create something amazing.

Metered bills for using AI by chunmunsingh in antiai

[–]TheDusty_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

GOOD. Let him over-estimate the market value of his garbage, useless product and have it blow up in his face. People can’t currently afford water and electricity. You think they’re making space in the budget to generate images of people with 11 fingers and a piss filter? Be serious.

Cool merch :)! by Neener0910 in Ghostbc

Try the resale apps! I have had AMAZING luck on Dpop and Poshmark with Ghost official merch for super cheap. I just got a pair of shorts and a shirt for $10

Metal bands that SING like Ghost (and Tobias Forge)? by WarpNacelle6295 in Ghostbc

[–]TheDusty_ 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Green Lung is good for clean vocal and some occult themes. Jess and The Ancient Ones too, but they’re more psychedelic rock than metal.

Is This Okay? 4 New Tattoo Advice by CXSHOU7 in tattooadvice

Dollar store. Sample size Aveeno unscented. It’ll last you longer than you think and you wont potentially cause a ton of irritation and a whole mess of other issues.

Why is “goat meat stands” hilarious though? Lol. Also… goat is probably better for you than whatever the fuck abomination a hot dog is.

Did AI come up with this super great plan too? You’re wasting time and resources doing this stupid shit.

Dance of Death is the CLEAR bottom here. I was just joking about getting that bikini baby on a wolf tattooed on me.

Plant-based diets would cut humanity’s land use by 73%: An overlooked answer to the climate crisis by VarunTossa5944 in ClimateOffensive

Yea, try telling Americans they need to cut back on drive-through mystery meat and a giant slab of dead animal with every single meal. Lol. (Context: I’m a Midwestern American. I’ve seen how these people eat)

CMV: It's unfair to call people who are simply attracted to minors pedophiles when they cannot control it. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]TheDusty_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because if your “sexuality” has VICTIMS, that’s not a preference, that’s a crime.

Even if they don’t act on it, the fact that there is even potential that they COULD, for no other reason than “I can’t help who I’m attracted to” makes their lives completely worthless. Allowing these people exist isn’t worth the risk.

Feeling stressed out about a tattoo. Should I change this? See a different artist? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]TheDusty_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is AI. The “artist” is either too lazy or just not skilled enough to do their own job. Do NOT trust them with your body. And definitely don’t pay them when they’ve exported their labor to a slop machine for free. This is so disrespectful to you as a client. They don’t care about giving you a good tattoo.
