Most of the time the person being cut didn’t have a say.

Really depends on what they’re into in general, but if they show interest in coding, I’d recommend Scratch. It’s a coding platform made (primarily) for kids, I got really into it once, and still tinker with it sometimes. I’d say that Scratch is easy to learn, hard to master, and fun.

sigh can we not throw slurs around

At least he can’t have a kid with it.

A true heirloom meme.

I never thought I’d find this again…

Storytime: my sister showed this to us last Christmas, it had been making rounds in her friend group. One of her friends had a crush on a Mexican exchange student and wanted to impress them. She sent this meme to the exchange student, who in turn looked that the truck was loaded with maize emojis🌽, and thought she was racist.

that’s buny

Yes, exactly that.

He means sticking it in one’s ass, and you probably know why a hollow glass object with no flared base shouldn’t be put inside the human rectum.

But it’s ✨✨new✨✨ so it HAS to be good!

Can we talk about this once they have, y’know, stopped supporting genocide and murdering babies? I feel like that should have a tiny bit higher priority.

Are you talking about AI in general or only generative A’I’? Because as far as I know, a, say, robot maid (of sorts) that would load and empty your dishwasher/washing machine, organise stuff, clean, whatever other domestic labor most people don’t like, could be considered AI, just used for different purposes.

Capitalism; most of the time art isn’t profitable, and if it is, the profit goes to the artist, not to shareholders. So if we make bots for it, we can force everyone to do wage labor in shit conditions.

I’m not about to spend my entire day to try and explain to you art isn’t about getting a pretty picture to consoome, and that no, “technology that obsoletes jobs” is not nearly always a good thing. Do you know how many items used to be better before mass-produced stuff took over and artisans were told to go fuck themselves? Or the disastrous effects of the green revolution? Do you understand that humans enjoy making things, that we (most of us anyway) don’t live here to just sit twiddling our thumbs and mindlessly ‘consume’.

Why should the ability to make money off something even matter

Because I want to eat.

But god forbid if you actually want to make money from your art; the way things are going, it’s getting near impossible.

The point is that All Hallows Eve is a Christian holiday, and that it isn’t comparable to Halloween in any way, because the “let’s dress up in costumes and eat way too much candy while watching scary movies” holiday and the “let’s go to the cemetery to put candles on Grandpa’s grave and honor our ancestors” holiday play very, very different roles. And guess what? Observing one doesn’t mean you have to completely discard the other.
