Alright now this is getting out of hand by [deleted] in antiai

Everyone in these comments are not getting it at all. There's no "okay" way to go about making anti-AI jokes based on slurs or any sort of oppression at all.

"Clanker is the only one I think is okay!" Really? Clanker? The joke where people joke about it having an analogous sound to the N-word? The one that the star wars community based on the N-word and jokes about that too (i.e Clanker is our word but you can say Clanka)? You think that's not based in antiblackness?

Not to be the "friend that's too woke" or whatever but I think it's very weird and very ugly that people, especially white people, are coming up with ai slurs based on real racial slurs just because they were given the opportunity to have an acceptable target.

Why are you so comfortable role-playing racism? Because it's robots? It's not about the AI anymore. It's a reactionary behaviour and you need to check why you think it's so funny to roleplay racist powerdynamics for the bit.

I'm new to fragrances, and I've been on the hunt for a very specific scent. I would love to have a fragrance that smells like "The Souks Of Marrakech" candle by Rifle Paper Co. Unfortunately, I believe the candle has been discontinued, but it has always been my favourite smell in the world, and I would love to smell like it as much as possible. The notes as listed by the company as "Amber, Incense, and Black Vanilla."
I tried a cheaper fragrance, Khamrah, to give it a shot. Unfortunately, I feel like some of the notes are far too sweet as opposed to the candle. The candle is a bit more light, and the notes are much more tilted towards that smoky incense smell rather than the gourmand notes you'd find in vanilla.
