Watching reality tv you have half the people being like "the filming conditions were inhumane and I was pressured to do things I hated" and the other half are like "this was life changing I'm going to do it 8000 more times"

Flame jetting is a sudden flash fire that can occur when pouring flammable liquids from a container over an exposed flame or other ignition source.
NEVER pour flammable liquids from a container over an exposed flame.

“yeah that sucks. have you considered making entirely new art that *doesnt* make payment processors mad?”
From the bottom of my heart: no. I’m not going to waste my time tailoring my creativity and perspective and precious little energy to someone else’s definition of acceptability

folks don't know that AIs scraping websites accounts for like half of all internet bandwidth usage right now. Sites get scraped- ie, all the contents downloaded- over and over again, destroying/wasting their bandwidth, often maxing it out. It's like being continually DDOS'd

behold the "HTML bomb"
It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

If you're a cis white man, stfu about your thoughts on trans people. You don't know nearly as much as you think you do. If this idea offends you, then you are who I'm talking about

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
![[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihjvnz2ttxl7z4a2b3a4kylubobgvqxmjhwz6yuetuztzoc4g2s4y@jpeg)

how do you woo your former friend who stopped talking to you after his sister died back into your rock band? Denver is genuinely asking, obviously his current strategy is NOT working

Hey, everyone who is calling Mastercard and Visa about the age verification BS. I think you should start aiming at YouTube as well.

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

Stripe said verbatim that they don't support adult content so it is time to make them regret it
NEW STRIPE PRESSURE POINT TO CALL:
call: 1 + 888 926 2289
and say you are from california. They will ask for an email connected with your stripe account, but they only asked me AFTER i was able to give my full spiel about Itch etc, so even if you dont have a stripe account, you can clog up phones
