I'm that thought in the back of your head that makes you forget why you came in the room. Besides that, I do nothing. Hi.

She's the best companion Nintendo ever created for Link and they just decided to never revisit her ever again.
Hey Firefox users.
No, they didn't. I would bet real money that they didn't know that. Anyone using AI art is a fascist, and fascists are the stupidest people on Earth.
No new pics, where are you mentally?
I care way more about the fans than Netflix or GRRM. People who finish their works can keep control over them. Works that don't get finished should enter the public domain and get fucking finished by people who clearly fucking care about them a lot more.
Hey, you're right, we should go after them next too. Involve the people who got screwed out of a job by the consulting group that's running the goddamn network, they have a stake in that they were screwed out of a job altogether by Netflix just prematurely shotgunning out unfinished series.
I'm glad I quit reading A Game of Thrones due to his boring, dry, plodding writing style and didn't give him any more money, and I'm glad I only watched a pirated version of his show. Dude does not deserve the notoriety he's gotten. Not when there are writers who actually finish their fucking books.
Meanwhile your excuse for GRRM is, "You paid for FIVE books!" Its been fucking what, nearly thirteen or fourteen YEARS since the last book came out? Oh, but he wrote a prequel in the meantime, I bet you'll come up with. So he can still write, he just fucking quit mid-work. Fuck GRRM.
While he was also teaching postgraduate anthropology, and doing his own research and publishing it as well. He had a fucking day job, and he write a full 600+ page book every single year, got his series done, didn't go to a single comic-con to shit on other writers, and is still writing more.
Where the fuck are the last two then? I'll tell you who an author that cared about the story is. Steven Erickson, who wrote Malazan Book of the Fallen. Each book is as long or longer than the shortest book in ASOIAF, and Erickson wrote one book a year for TEN YEARS FUCKING STRAIGHT.
Never read a damn thing Sanderson has written. I just don't have a pinecone up my ass that tells me to dictate that he's not a GOOD WRITER just because I'm not fucking interested in him like you have.
And his fans should file a class action lawsuit to take the IP out of his sole greedy control.
I do. Goth Raven.
THAT'S OKAY, THOUGH! Not every movie needs to make a fucking billion dollars.
I'm not inclined to care what someone whose name is referring to Juggalos is setting up as who a good or bad writer is. Just because someone doesn't write your fucking preference does not make them a good or bad writer.
Fuck that, he owes his fans a conclusion. Tens of millions of people are waiting for that, it isn't something he can throw a bitch tantrum over and just screw his fans.
Sue for sabotaging your business.
Okay? I haven't looked into it until now, how is this worthy of being this mad at me? I'm in the loop now. The fuck is your problem?
I don't know, I haven't checked how to install it in like, a decade? Other things to do. What prompted this reaction?
Oh wow, that might actually mean I'll be able to play FHA since the guides online on how to install it were always so crap.
If you're looking for not just a good series to read, but probably the greatest of the modern era of fantasy, read Malazan. It is an absolutely phenomenal read.
Its got the attention to detail of Game of Thrones, its got grimness in it, its got significant empires duking it out, its got magic and high fantasy, but also complex political aspects. Erickson is an anthropologist and he's a good one at that, so he understands cultures to an extreme.
But all in all, its a book series I have had zero inclination to go back and re-read, and I do that with series I've fallen in love with. One I'm doing it with right now is Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erickson, which is absolutely phenomenal and is the best modern fantasy work, period.
I also appreciated the fleshing out of his dwarves as an actual culture, the fact he didn't just go full boring copy and replaced orcs as a villain with another race was also cool. The fact that there was actual magic racism that got overcome towards the end was really nice too.
Galbatorix not showing up until the last book was actually a really good move by Paolini. He built up a significant amount of suspense that way. The way he integrated elements of real warfare like fallout from nuclear detonation into a setting with high fantasy magic was awesome.
It was also written for young teenagers by a teenager whose parents owned a publishing company. It did do a few small things I liked, but in general, it was a massive "MEH" sounding fart overall.
That is incredibly cool on so many levels. Fantastic work!
I have never asked AI a question Never asked it to butcher art Never asked it to make a video Never asked it for disinformation Never solicited advice from it Never done anything with GenAI or an LLM machine by choice. And I never fucking will. Not ever. Fuck GenAI.
Oh wow, that Eilistraee is absolutely gorgeous! I bought the metal version, I can't wait until I get it.
patreon's response
I felt it was appropriate to outright call out that kowtowing to authoritarian censorship would not appease fascists, it would just show that the platform can be easily bullied and clamped down on even harder.
Is this a Violet Evergarden post in disguise?
Fitness and health virtually always lead to or result from weight loss, that's insane. Sure, modern body standards are complete fucking bullshit, some people cannot obtain the waspish thighs and the small waist, but being over a certain weight means you aren't healthy, no matter how fit you are.
I've evolved on that. If those people are continuously hurting others of all kinds because they're a conceited, idiotic jackass, then I don't even have to stop myself. He's made his living hurting others. If mold kills him, I'll genuinely start believing in karma.
Now we just have to convince him to open some Egyptian tomb full of mold spores and we'll be rid of one of the worst, most hostile influencers that are poisoning the well that men drink from the most. I always told myself when I was little that cheering for certain people's deaths was wrong...well
I doubt this ever would have become an issue. Because he's directing more eyes to your work. That's how word of mouth spreads. But nah. Begging and bribery? That'd be a hard no for me if anyone was using something I created. Fuck your channel, dude.
Say no. They can go fuck themselves with a plastic beach shovel. They just want to have easy access to scrape whatever they find and not do the work of providing credit. If they provided credit, including links to the pages of the people whose work he stole for his crap (I'm sure) videos...
GenAI slop theft "game." Fuck that shit.
But I like the sentiment of the head melting. Pro gamer move.
I'd have put it as "No, go fuck yourself," because the only people who go after trans people are fascies and their bootlickers. Normal people won't give a fuck about us. Fascies hate us because they're stupid about...everything.
Good, he's a coward and could have corrected this by just not being a massive asshole and properly crediting you and the other artists he stole work from to make his videos have at least something worthwhile.
Wow, what a fucking asshole. Fuck that guy.
Really evokes that the Sovereign is coming to to save us and the Defiant is rushing off to save someone else. Great effect.
Nobody cares what you think. Come back when you have evidence to support your BS. I'll save you some trouble, people have been trying to find it since the Internet became a thing, and long before that. It doesn't exist.
The fucking loser who's angry about his breakup is now trying to push the puritan bullshit about porn addiction or "brain rot," both firmly debunked and repeatedly studied 'phenomena' with absolutely fucking zero support behind either. Shut the fuck up, fascist.
Nobody's addicted to porn. Stop repeating alt-right puritan bullshit that's been debunked 700 times over the last 30 years. Even when the uber-zealous right wing think tanks try to get studies done to prove this shit, they just come back saying that no, porn isn't addictive. You're just fascists.
There's no such evidence, you're peddling alt-right wackadoo bullshit that's been disproven time after time for the last 30 fucking years. Being an alt-right asshole rots your brain. Not porn.
I absolutely fucking despise this "protect the children!" argument they keep trotting out. They know everyone sees through the "We need to know your identity for safety reasons" shit, I wish they'd just be fucking honest and say, "We want to sell you ads and report you to the govt for wrongthink."

I wish transphobes would catch a nice case of "spontaneously choked to death on a cherry pit, all at the same time." Nothing of value would be lost.
YIKES!!!!!! thank you for sharing this wlswarts! copying this from the tumblr post for reference
That's because of how absolutely infested twitter is by bots. Its not to say there aren't some here, too, but its nowhere near the problem, there's actual people here. Still. Fuck twitter.
Copying my tweet here too in case ppl are interested to know The Tumblr purge The Patreon purge The Gumroad and Pixiv purge, The Onlyfans failed purge The shitty rules on Fansly The purge on steam and Itchio It's all cause of the ppl on ExodusCry www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmHH...
Dancing pug is here to take away your worries for a few minutes. Yay!
Both their expressions are amazing. That stolid frown is perfect, but so is that goofy, fun face.

oh, and if possible, try to have the calls be recorded
– beyond this, don't discuss political angles explicitly if at all possible, those will be counterproductive" even spreading this thread and others like it will help. this is a really big one.
"focus on discussing concerns around a lack of payment system neutrality, erosion of trust in payment reliability, undue influence of lobbying in personal business and livelihood; proceed to censorship concerns last and only if the person on the other end is not combative.

"Not only must you not question our genocide, you must not only support it, but you must not even deign to make us feel bad about it, you must dehumanize the 'other' as well! If you do not, we will scream anti-semitism to make you seem evil for believing in human rights for everyone!"
Report it as a noise nuisance. Cops showing up will probably get them to figure it out faster.
If AI is "helping" you do those projects, those projects will also be riddled with errors you're going to need to go back and take time to correct, which would be time saved by just doing three projects yourself and self correcting on the way forward the good old fashioned way. AI is worthless.
Who said we need to remove all of them? We just need to scare them into participating in the peace treaty and never speaking or airing their views again.
They're cheering on the people building Alligator Auschwitz after all, if you have a table of 10 Nazis, and their one friend that isn't a Nazi, and calls themselves an evangelical, its a table of eleven Nazis. Fuck em. They're Nazis. Anyone conservative in the US right now, is one too.
Are they against human rights? Are they in favor of fascists like Trump and Stephen Miller? Are they against basic rights, like the right to healthcare and the right to marry/adopt? Those are all 100% similarities with Nazis. I don't see any reason to make THEM more comfortable.
I don't see the issue with this.
The appropriate counter-move is to get them labeled as Nazis and to get their shit revenue streams shut down too.
Besides, that would have been so cruel to Orihime as a character, that monologue where she comes to the conclusion that no matter what, she'd always come to love Ichigo, that was a slam dunk setup that they were going to be happy together, something staggeringly rare in Bleach.
I will commit the sin of empathy. I will do it until the day I die. And yes. It does make me better than them.
If I get old, and that's a big if, because of what they're doing to the country and world at large, I will never forgive these Nazis for forcing Naziism onto the rest of us and what they've done to the immigrant community is unforgiveable. They're all monsters. Anyone that voted Trump is a Nazi.
Guest essay for the left wing perspective: "You were right to cut off contact with your abusive, racist, xenophobic, fact allergic, science and reality denying, conspiratorial right wing nazi-worshiping family members. They are dangerous and you should keep your distance."
"No, it turns out that the last time you invalidated their entire existence, threatened them into silence, or abused them in the favor of your Mango Mussolini, fascist, fradulent demigod was the last time they would speak to you, and its all your fault, you right wing chuds! Have fun dying mad!"
If someone uses AI images to advertise their content, be it a youtube video, music, or writing, I just start assuming that the content behind it is AI as well, and give it none of my time. I've never used ChatGPT or any of these stupid AI things, I won't listen to them either or watch them.
Not to mention that its concerning an IP controlled by the most bigoted woman on Earth, basically. They're going to be hit with that transphobia, misandry, and misogyny cocktail from start to finish, and they're not going to be okay afterwards.
At least, that's how Trek works when its well written, and I sadly don't agree with how the franchise has been directed lately, but I don't think this is the appropriate forum to get into that.
That's what makes Trek such an amazing franchise, its willing to take on the philosophical aspects, like genetic engineering to improve someone's life...did they even WANT that engineering? Were they happy before? Same with the holodeck characters, and as you said, the characters acknowledge it.
Reminds me of the aliens from Titan AE.
I don't see it that way. The holodeck characters are all approximations, and usually seem to be the idealized versions of the characters, rather than their actual, flawed selves.
Okita's so cool. I wish she was featured more in FGO as a main supporting servant.
I would have loved to have had a conversation with that techbro and told him to stuff it up his ass.
And that point is...what? The original human made bible verses are better?
Who gives a fuck? All of the bible is made up. You're pissy about AI passages when the bible endorses slavery and glorifies a dude who killed all of humanity, including women, children, and babies, because he just decided all of them were evil and repopulated it through incest.
Competitive gaming and Esports. Nothing makes me care less about your product than finding out its PVP only, I actively start to hate it when I find out that this is to get competitive multiplayer in it, Esports makes me despise it.
Oh, so they think they made an MMO that they can just sell the new update to what...next year?
That's gorgeous artwork! Very captivating.
I wish more anime had the balls to make their strong women, strong in appearance, and not just waifs that happen to be strong.
If there's a problem at the job that isn't your fault, it is management's fault and their responsibility to deal with it. Not your circus? Not your monkeys to wrangle. She can deal with it, or delegate it properly. She's not your friend, you don't owe her any favors. She can get it fixed.
That's not to minimize his capabilities, he is one of the smartest Leaguers there is, but there are others that are smarter. Mr. Terrific, Ray Palmer, hell, even Superman is way smarter than people give him credit for and he's helped Batman build some doohickeys and come up with plans in the past.
Batman is commonly misconceived to be able to do absolutely anything on his own, but he's often enlisted the help of other Justice Leaguers or gone to other professionals for work outside his direct expertise. Even then, he does come up with the plans, applications for tech and counters for enemies.
Oh, yep, I think I misunderstood what was going on.
You got banned...for that? What the hell for? Or have I misinterpreted this somehow.
I love how annoyed Hiei is. Very well done!
Depends on the speed, some of the speeds depicted in comics should for sure, though. Hilariously, this was shown a little in DBZ, at least around water, but its rarely even been shown in DC comics that I'm directly aware of right now. I'm sure it has at some point, 70+ years of comics and all.
