The AuDHD (or is it one or the other?) trait of, when faced with an opposing viewpoint, to ask 'could I be the one who's wrong?'
Something a lot of ideologically rigid people could learn from, while recognising that not listening to what you don't want to hear is the cause of most of your problems.

This week has mostly been punctuated by air pressure at 980 mBar for days (still only 1002 now), internet outage until at least coming Friday, and now a power cut that's affecting the whole village.
*eyes the water meter nervously*
Fuck everything.

And there it is, the real reason they're so aggreived by anti-slop attitudes, in 2b. Don't want to have to pay artists for their work.
This is a straightforward extension of calling any artist who won't work for free 'bourgeois'.

no great artists have ever struggled, a famous thing about artists that we all know. everyone prior to three years ago lived lives of luxury.
![the stupid 'talent is a gatekeeping mechanism' thread that's going around, three posts reading:
tired of having these arguments so i'm gonna lay out the STARK reality of AI for some of you privileged fucks:
1. "talent" is a gatekeeping mechanism that has created a culture of professionalism that is no less of an ivory tower than academia, a moralized proxy for access to time, training, money.
2. being poor means having to make hard choices like:
[a] drawing something yourself in a way society would call "bad" (i.e. unprofessional)
[b] sacrificing resources you don't have to pay a real artist what they're worth (or learn yourself)
[c] not doing it at all, or
[d] using AI.
“just don’t use AI” is a luxury position. when people moralize choices made under scarcity, they’re pretending the menu is the same for everyone. it fucking isn’t.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dei7f7zh74xr3hoghei6ke3d/bafkreig5uei5qn5bkwhgniorhoyesfs73ovo76xwfk2yxprmtnbde4cvp4@jpeg)

You can tell who hasn't dealt with abusive liars a lot because even after saying that, yeah, it was all about the oil in Venez and all the narcolepterism (or whatever). was just a smokescreen, they're taking Trump's Greenland letter at face value.

This is analogous to the phenomenon where people know every news organisation knows fuck all about their line of work, but don't take this as an indicator of the overall quality of those organisations' output.
the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

One of the few things Tarantino ever got right was portraying the NAZI's in Inglourious Basterds as charming to those they considered the right kind of people.
When people say "look at how they treat people who they think can do nothing for them", this is why.

Sometimes I feel like I might be overcynical but there's a current of tankies and wannabe glorious leaders who've been activated. Opportunist shits, no matter whether they're aware, or of the type who've convinced themselves they are geniuses who must show us cretins how wrong we are.

I'm sure someone else has said this, but it's not a coincidence that Canada and Mexico are the only countries that have land borders with the USA and Greenland is spitting distance.

Of course you can't say this is exactly the same, Hitler thought it was funny to sign non-aggression treaties before invading and Trump doesn't even have a sense of humour.
Props to Spain and... oh. Well, bollocks.
The world is fucked, and so am I, or maybe it's the other way round...

Well, that's one way of confirming exactly how much your opinion is worth. Especially when you're dismissing people who answer sincerely with 'no it can't possibly be that'.
