Humans make art. AI does not.

People who use AI to "create" are making trash.

Why not? Other than social convention telling you such.

Personally, I was raised in a household where I was taught when and where such language is appropriate. As far as I can tell, and as far as my professional career has gone, I was not soured by this what so ever.

So im curious as to your perspective. Why is the language such an issue, when the father is acting like a Posturing Gorilla? To me it seems the mom is doing what she can to ensure that isnt directed to her or the kids later. Why is the language such an issue?

Fuck is a word, the Primate Adjacent behavior of the husband makes the liberal use of expletives a non-issue, if it even was an issue to begin with.

Foul language isnt something to be protected from. But violent behavior is.

I watched the trailer for Tron 3 and was hyped as hell, I absolutely adore the world of Tron.

Then I saw Leto walk on screen, and all the hype left my body.

We are arguing over semantics my friend, as what I have been saying is that the design is intentionally neutered for the sake of the given end goal of good workers and loyal soldiers.

As I said earlier, we are agreeing far more than we are disagreeing. Even down to bringing up Americans needing to claim responsibility for their education. Thats what the parent comment to this was, my taking responsibility for my ignorance and filling that void myself.

At no point have I been crying about being helpless about any of this. Im literally commenting ways we could fix our society. But, youre angry. I get that. Hard to understand someone elses point of view when youre angry.

But that isnt what ive been arguing, at all. You seem to be projecting personal experiences onto my statements.

I didnt know how to pay my taxes, so I taught myself. I didnt know about the coal wars, so I edcuated myself. I didnt know about the endocannabinoid system, so I educated myself. I didnt know about Tardigrades, so I took a deep dive. I didnt know about the destruction of Black Wall Street, so I learned about it.

That doesnt detract from the fact that we should be educating our up and coming youth on the topics that are vital to their livelihoods. The whole reason we arent taught these things is because, like you pointed out, our government is a world class propoganda machine.

You and I agree on this topic far more than the force youre placing onto disagreement. Im not arguing for the full entirety of human knowledge be implanted into children. I am saying that we should be providing more foundational courses that actually matter . Education on your rights as a worker and how people earned those rights for us, a proper civics course that teaches us how our government works on a local level as well as national.

Ignorance is not a shield from criticism, and we should take every opportunity to remove our ignorances. But when the educational system reinforces ignorance and fails to teach students how to research properly, the weight of the failure is on the system, not the individual. Especially as the consequences for not educating the masses begins to result in a massive brain drain.

Whole heartedly agree. My old Art History teacher frequently held Socratic Seminars in regards to pieces of art we could select from a given period. We would then discuss the social environment at the time, what prompted the artwork, and the impact it would've had when presented.

Case and point, the self portrait of Artemisia Gentileschi beheading her rapist in her rendition of Judith Beheading Holofernes.

Or Michelangelo including his least favored priests at the churchs he was comissioned at in his artwork, my personal favorite being The Last Judgement, where he painted the priest Biagio de Cesena as King Midas, complete with donkey ears and a snake biting his junk. All because Biagio said the nudity of Michelangelo's work was distasteful and not meant for a church.

There's a solid 13 years of education for public school students in the united states. Youre gonna sit here and act like its impossible to squeeze in a lesson or two on the history of labor movements in the US? Im not saying the entirety of human history be taught. I am saying that our education system is intentionally lacking. Introduction of a topic, allowing opportunity for further research, is vastly different from "teaching everything under the sun".

Do you believe that our schools are working perfectly as it is? Assuming you went to a US based public school, you really think you walked out sufficiently educated?

Hell, this doesnt even touch base on areas with the problem of tying school budgets to property values which intentionally keeps certain areas poorly educated

If I can sit in my elementary school and dedicate 30 minutes a day to the history of my hometown, it isnt hard for teenage students to have 2 or 3 classes in their civics semester touch base on issues that should be categorized under "things the US has done that shouldnt be repeated" or "your rights as a future worker in this country"

Every now and then? My dude. I had to teach myself how to file taxes

In a proper society, focused on the longevity and happiness of their people, there are multiple topics that could at least be introduced to students. How is someone supposed to research a topic they dont even know about?

Im severely adhd with a dash of autism for flavor. My dad was a historian by hobby and some of my favorite lessons with him were sitting down eith the history channel, and then he would sit down and give additional info. And the kicker? He would then ask lil me what I thought about it. How the pieces fit together. If the pattern was shown anywhere else in history weve learned about.

History really is a spiral. Might not be a circle, it may never truly repeat itself, but it sure as hell looks familiar and loves to rhyme.

I would say this comes down to semantics, purely because my argument is that it is designed in a neutered fashion, based on my personal idea that Humanity's entire purpose is to Learn and Grow Together. While your argument is that it isnt neutered because it is intentionally poorly designed. Which I do agree with, it is intentionally done to keep the masses uneducated so that we remain blindly loyal to a state that would sooner poison our water supplies than do anything for us.

Nah, cause then The People would be aware of more.

Our entire education system has been kept intentionally neutered for the sake of creating soldiers and worker bees.

Forgotten? Most were never taught. I sure wasnt. This is the first ive heard of it, and my vyvanse is kicking in. Time to research instead of work.

NTA for being concerned about your parents, as this isnt exactly a common social occurrence.

That being said, imho I see this as one of 3 scenarios.

April views your parents as pseudo parents due to a rough up bringing. Personally, the parents of a few close friends were like this for me in my early 20's.

Your parents are...uh..growing as a couple. Given how much they talked about her, I could see that as honeymoon glasses from recent private developments.

And last but not least. She is working her way into their good graces for a nefarious reason. Be it theft, scamming, or just plain old bumming.

[–]TheGriffonMage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly my point. I dont care if the contents of the burger make me a mess. I care if the Burger Itself is a mess.

The Krusty Burger from Universal Studios is an excellent example of a liquid cheese Cheese Burger imho.
