I’m blocking you.

You should’ve been moderated already, for spamming the comm with stuff that has to be against Rule 1 (All posts must be shower thoughts).

This post is like finding a fake $20 in the parking lot that is actually a Jesus pamphlet.

Edit: Added pictures for context

Lmao. I got curious and looked through your user posts, too.

Howdy, internet neighbor!

I agree that it’s a skill, but I think the point is that it’s a skill with a very low ceiling compared to art.

Like being able to use a coffee machine.

But he did, though.

I thought that was the whole point of him bringing it up.

He said, we have tools (like magic lasso) that let you skip the boring part of art, so you can get to the creative part. AI can be like that; a tool that let’s you skip having to do backgrounds so you can focus on flying rat monstrosities.

He doesn’t use it that way, but he acknowledges that you can.

It’s just that most AI “art” usage is skipping putting in creative effort at all.

I feel like this is technically true, but in reality it only works like this in the void of space.

The energy I’m spending is to counter the molecule vibration transfer that’s being done (against my food’s will) by the sun and everything else in the space around my fridge.

I am ready for some physicist to pop out of the tall grass and explain how wrong I am.

This… does not seem like a shower thought.

That just sounds like normal news.

Not “I’m surprised this isn’t satire.”

The mistake is assuming this decision was based on anything resembling principles or values.

Why is this in nottheonion?

Can they just skip to the step where they start eating each other and leave the rest of us alone?

Oh, leather is absolutely a thing.

But it’s a subculture of a subculture.

It’s like saying, “Why don’t we call all car drivers Tesla Enthusiasts? Because they seem to like them very much.”

What is happening in the third panel?

Every day I don’t give 110 percent in exchange for… the same amount of paycheck.

Because it’s not about the leather.

Edit: Yo, a user from a kbin (mbin?) server! I don’t see those around too often.

Username checks out. 😑

Not a show, but a book and a movie adaptation: Interview with A Vampire is actually about Anne Rice’s daughter.

I was a sad, broken and despairing atheist when I wrote ‘Interview with the Vampire’ [in 1973, after the death of her daughter from leukaemia]. I pitched myself into writing and made up a story about vampires. I didn’t know it at the time but it was all about my daughter, the loss of her and the need to go on living when faith is shattered. But the lights do come back on, no matter how dark it seems, and I’m sensitive now, more than ever, to the beauty of the world – and more resigned to living with cosmic uncertainty.

Vampires are the best metaphor for the human condition Here you have a monster with a soul that’s immortal, yet in a biological body. It’s a metaphor for us, as it’s very difficult to realise that we are going to die, and day to day we have to think and move as though we are immortal. A vampire like Lestat in Interview… is perfect for that because he transcends time – yet he can be destroyed, go mad and suffer; it’s intensely about the human dilemma.

You did it!

That’s cold.

OP’s like It’s only tragic if we were banging.

I asked if it was literally true (as in proven, documented, a known fact).

Not if he was very probably, highly likely, the most suspicious ever, the first person you would point at if anyone asked who in this room fucked someone underage.

Yes, he should be behind bars and investigated.

No, as far as we know, it’s not literally true. (Probably true, though.)
