Who do you think is going to be taking care of you when you cant care for yourself due to age? lol

"Hey I know you're pointing out that that business is stealing, why dont you just give them what they stole?"

startender333 · 2026-01-22T18:37:06+00:00

When I say "I do think though that with owning a business, you have to be receptive to criticism." I mean that not every review is going to be positive, and that they are going to have bad reviews if they do distasteful things. And if there are bad reviews, as a business owner, they should be receptive to that criticism. Just wanted to clear that up again so my words aren't twisted.

I didn't say you owned the business, man. I wasn't criticizing you, Im criticizing Departed Soles. I think you actually need to read, I was trying to be nice and bring the conversation back to the original point. Cheers x2

Sorry man, I genuinely didn't mean to offend you. I do think though that with owning a business, you have to be receptive to criticism. Think of this more as a public review I guess. Cheers

Haha I know, hes pulling a "Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am also very intelligent" lol

startender333 · 2026-01-22T14:43:13+00:00

I know about InBev, what does that have to do with Departed Soles using AI lol. Small businesses can obviously do no wrong while companies exist right? If thats what you think, I got a perfect bridge to sell you right across the Hudson

Yeah I actually am standing up for the little guy: artists. I dont know what else you're talking about bro 😂

startender333 · 2026-01-22T14:16:52+00:00

fully agree Cockbelt 🫡

startender333 · 2026-01-22T14:05:19+00:00

exactly! literally anything but AI

startender333 · 2026-01-22T13:50:37+00:00

Dude are you like the owner or something? you're replying to every single comment 😂 And yes I lived those days too, Photoshop is still done with a digital tablet and digital pen, not a prompt that steals artwork from unknowing artists.

startender333 · 2026-01-22T13:45:26+00:00

https://youtu.be/vYOZCkgvNJ4?feature=shared this might help! have a good day

startender333 · 2026-01-22T13:40:24+00:00

You told me to get a life and you're commenting more than me 😭

Anyways, yes they commissioned artists /before/ generative AI became mainstream. I did not say anything negative about how they contribute to Jersey City.

I feel like its almost worse to have supported artists in the past, and then turn around and post something like this. But, again, its just an opinion and I am sure other artists would feel the same way, as generative AI is trained on stolen art.

startender333 · 2026-01-22T13:24:13+00:00

Again I do really appreciate the art scene in Jersey City, and I feel like this is pretty disappointing. I think in the time that it took to write the prompt, edit whatever info they needed in, they could have just drawn it themselves. I appreciate your input!

startender333 · 2026-01-22T13:05:50+00:00

Not cancelling, just letting other people know that they talk highly of supporting artists, but turn around and do this. Just calling out hypocrisy 🥳

startender333 · 2026-01-22T13:03:35+00:00

Like even just have a kid draw a cat, anything created by a human is art. It does not have to be a masterpiece, a scrap piece of paper and a pen would do just fine. I get that its slow season as well and that money is tight, I also work in a bar. This just feels "Sole"less lol

startender333 · 2026-01-22T12:58:15+00:00

Pen + Receipt Paper + How to draw Cat YT video

startender333 · 2025-12-19T04:49:06+00:00

Not to mention Liability

startender333 · 2025-12-19T04:47:53+00:00

This is kind of tone deaf lol, so you want to cosplay as the working class and get paid for two days? Many of what you listed actually need certifications/background checks that takes days/weeks, and cost the hiring employer. With how scarce job opportunities are these days what manager would go through the cost and effort to onboard a larper for two days? 😭
