directionally speaking, liberalism is just instinctively inclined to attack resource use. we have brainwashed ourselves into believing environmental impact studies and preservation tactics are a clever loophole to defeat evil. this has proven to be a dismal failure over the past 50 years
there have been multiple stories of middle school girls getting harassed with generated CP of themselves over the past few years and somehow the only AI fear that seems to stick is the fucking water

It’s the most powerful online sexual harassment tool ever invented and it’s driving people insane with parasocial relationships but the most prominent critics lie about water use.

this was an important debate during the civil war, and Lincoln correctly held firm that those who had gone into revolt in defense of slavery had not become citizens of any other nation because revolt is not allowed within the terms of the constitution, and so they always retained citizenship
There should be literally no circumstances, ever, where citizenship is can be revoked. If you literally sign up to fight for an opposing army in a war, then we should prosecute you for treason not revoke citizenship
Hell, I'm not convinced we should revoke citizenship at all.
But certainly not for being a twat online.

I cannot express how much “how dare you say my team played badly, we won” is pathetic loser talk. Both on an emotional and analytical level.
In my opinion, winning is amazing and the additional "my team that won was also the best team according to objective metrics" that online fans seem to need reflects a failure to cherish the experience of winning

This is the other half of it. The subsection of fans who follow sports in order to be angry all the time have diverse ways of getting their needs met.
Real fans know their team is shit and will call talk radio to complain about it loudly within 10 minutes of a big win.

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

The year is 2035. California's entire base of taxation is young renters and their entire budget goes to insuring suburban McMansions built in fire hazard regions. Half of Florida is underwater financially and the other half literally. Illinois is fine but still fucks up transit funding constantly.

the short answer is that this specific semirealistic style came from grafting the large convolution blocks from anime models onto the small convolution blocks from photorealism models
I can't be the only one noticing that they all have faces that, uh, do not read as adult? It just feels like a robustly Bad Sign if our culture's synthetic beauty standard is trending towards underage facial features!
