I respect that, I just try to provide context. It’s often misinterpreted, and I do succumb to emotional responses — but my goal is to make sure those that are justified approach their goals with a clear mind.

I’m not advocating for the rich. I just want people to make the right decisions when it inevitably comes to the point where we need to decide what to do with the rich. I don’t think we should treat GabeN with any more respect than we owe the poorest person, is all.

First step to getting away with shithead behavior is convincing a group, any group (but preferrably one marginalized), that you’re representing them.

Idk, there are tons of good things that have happened from rich people doing stuff. Hell, that’s the reason medicine progressed — if nobles weren’t terrified of dying, who knows how long it would have taken to figure out that bloodletting with leeches doesn’t work?

I don’t think I need to point out all the bad things that have happened because of the rich.

They’re here too

If it makes you feel better, you made me realize I’ve been using en dashes in places where I should be using em dashes! So, thank you.

Them: If this thing happens to me that most likely will not happen to me, I’ll do this thing.

You: No, you won’t.

You see what that shit looks like? Congratulations Cletus, you’ve spoken the obvious about a hypothetical. No I won’t be shooting the people responsible for destroying the planet, thanks for reminding me.

There it is, the techbro buzzword.

The person you’re replying to is right, you’re a cultist. You desperately desire to be able to skip to the end where you make a bunch of money off your ‘art’ utilizing tools whose largest claims to fame currently are literally copying the Ghibli style and being bad at math.

There are legitimate uses for AI, art is not one of them - and anyone that can actually appreciate art will always reject you.

This is such a bizarre rejection of reality

In fact, I think that if he were to die right now he would be immediately elevated to martyrdom - that being the catalyst for martial law.

I was about to say, this guy is glazing MBA’s way too hard for this not to be a joke.

Maybe, maybe this is actually stochastic terrorism being carried out by MAGA themselves.

Think about it, their plan is to declare martial law - right? Conservatives already hate EVs, they think that Trump is a ‘good’ billionaire while billionaires like Gates are ‘bad’ billionaires - I don’t think it would take much to make Musk out to be a ‘bad’ billionaire.

Idk if this is as clear as ‘good guys vs bad guys’ - these are freedom fighters, but it’s never been clearer that a lot of people are divided on what ‘free’ actually means. You shouldn’t assume that the people doing this are actually on your side.

To be fair, these are Apple users we’re talking about. They uhh… kind of epitomize rampant American consumerism.

Are you… are you being serious?

Isn’t that the problem though? Pandering by creating overly masculine women doing things that men traditionally do?

Idk, maybe I’m over simplifying it - but I’ve known a decent amount of sexists that love Alien. I don’t think she was overly masculine, nor do I think her role was overly masculine. Idk.

I think it really depends on why the story has a female lead.

I think Alien is a good example, Ripley could have been male and it really wouldn’t have changed the plot that much. If I’m not mistaken Ripley actually was male at one point in the movies writing.

Doesn’t matter that the shift happened, it happened, Sigourney Weaver fucking smashed it out of the park and the rest is history.

If the story is good and happens to have a female lead, I don’t think people are actually against it. The Menu is the first movie to come to mind, I don’t think anyone said anything about the lead in that being female (although being a lead in an ensemble cast with damn near equivalent amounts of screen time is kind of meaningless). I think what people are against is blatant pandering because it usually indicates that the product is poor.

Edit: this is my limited, anecdotally rooted opinion. There are probably a decent amount of people who will just not watch a female lead. I’ve known women who won’t watch something or play a video game without a female lead or the ability to create a female character.

Weak bladders beware, with this one trick you will wake up early. Not the way you want.

So you’re tech savvy and you use AI as it should be - like a tool. Not a magic genie that will spit out code for you.

I think that from your standpoint, the small business owner, it makes sense to do this.

I think the corporate demons pulling the strings of these massive companies love, and I mean love, when people look at them like you.
