Artists choose the medium they like working in, be it watercolors, clay, oils, even computer tablets, because they like how that material behaves and understand how to use them.
AI users generate images to mimic the mediums they HATE working in, the materials they least understand how to use.

Glad I realized I'd kill my partially run hour-long script before I killed the vpn and my cluster. That would've sucked
Teams search was actually a little helpful. It pulled up the one time a senior dev asked about corporate breaking discord updates... but! the important part, he asked about this, inside the firewall. I can't believe I hadn't thought to do sans vpn. Though, I think this is how I'd managed before

Discord refuses to update, on my work computer. There seems to be a strong correlation with my falling out of contact with folks.
Note: as far as possible causations go, this is much more ideal than months of emotional fallout from speaking up for myself

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Fun fact: US Army training camps were hit hard by the 1918 pandemic. Turns out being young, healthy, and fit isn’t much protection against an emerging disease.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.
It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

we are also about to have a reckoning in regards to how normalized it was up until like ten years ago to want to have sex with--and indeed, have sex with--teenage girls. it is hard to describe how normal of a desire that was until very recently.

Dem Senators aren't for us unless they're for removing Chuck Schumer. Now is the time to highlight corruption in the Dem caucus and clean house.
Too many Senate Dems are bought and paid for and will fuck us and our entire democracy for their greed and the dark $$ that controls them.

Stop sharing AI slop.
It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.
But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.
