accusing each other of ai usage simply going off "vibes" should never be tolerated. we're already being screwed over by multiple things in this world, we don't need to screw with each other
Deleted the post. I should have had more evidence before calling out someone's art as AI, and I apologize. I was going off emotions trying to defend a friend's art since their art was used to train a lot of AI.
I'll do better next time.

They rolled this out in the UK last year, and for me nothing has changed. In all the servers I’ve been in Discord has never once asked to verify my ID.
Now your experience may change if you’re in adult content servers, but whatever you decide to do, be careful out there friends. 🙂↕️

anyways, don't get off discord yet; not because this isn't heinous but because we're currently in the post-horror scramble to find alternatives. give things a second to settle down so you can find out which ones suck and which ones don't. instead, cancel your nitro, yell at discord, and plan.

First and last movie you've ever watched in theaters.
There's a chance I might have been taken to see a different movie first, but I was a little under 3 when I went to see Tarzan and it's an experience I vividly remember given how it was quite literally baby's first hyperfixation

Wrote a 5 page essay in an hour yesterday, and I think I'm starting to get back into the feel of academic writing. Writing essays and analysis have always been strengths of mine and where I excelled, but after having been out of school for 8 years I was really rusty and struggling at first.

A sheltered sword for hire with a goddess tulpa is forced to become a teacher at a military academy which literally shapes the outcome of a civil war five years later.
So this plumber eats mushrooms to fight evil turtles to rescue a princess.

People lament about the death of the Nintendo cult classic from gamecube -wii era but thing is. Games like that still exist. Yall jusr ignore them
It’s annoying to post a list of fun games for a system and have someone comment there’s no “system sellers” in the list. So what? System sellers are great but there is fun to be had in games that may score in the average range, or sometimes even worse, as well.

I'm not a big fan of the "X character is good and Y character is evil" thing in 3H discussion because I think the setting is designed (well!) in a way that makes it so there is no one-stop easy solution to its problems and thus no flatly universal "good guy" that solves everything.

21. Related but internet in general has a huge generalization problem where people assume a community is all bad because of a few bad apples. Most of time a majority of community either isnt bad or isnt bad all the time and people just focus on the loud minoritu.

20. Fandoms can be awful and I completely understand not wanting to interact with them, but I find people who make a big deal of how they're above fandoms and dont need fandoms can be just as annoying, if not even moreso than toxic fans.

Man, given how every female FE lord tends to be a discourse magnet, I'm curious whether or not Leda and/or Theodora will cause huge ass discourse for the sole reason FE fans can't be normal about women.

19. Woobifying villains is good and fine, as long as you're aware of woobifying them.
It's harmless fun ad often done for mental health/comfort/projection reason you ain't hurting anyone if you imagine your blorbo as a sweetie regardless of canon.
