Americans do this with property too. If we only regulated foreigners from doing it, that would allow american investors the opportunity to do it more beduase they have less investors to compete with.
This is an important observation. You’re probably more right, that things can get worse without people caring. Sometimes when we say things will get worse unless we do something, that does prevent a bill from passing or someone awful getting elected or some business going bankrupt etc.
He’s been credibly accused of raping several women and confessed to it without apologizing, took a 6 months break, and now he’s posting again.
He used one of his videos to talk about it and basically said “it could be worse” by pointing at other content creators doing poverty tourism and bad journalism. Of course Andrew is a better journalist, that wasnt ever my concern.
Because definitionally they believe ‘the diagnostic criteria for transgender is dyspgoria. The cure to dysphoria is HRT. Take the medicine.’
And I think this message was helpful to me, to read “take the medicine, you need HRT to feel better.” - I’m a trans female. This message doesn’t apply to like more than half of all trans people, and for some odd reason they also use it to exclude those trans people. Euphoria is also diagnostically trans, and HRT isnt the right treatment for most trans people. Youre valid.
Definitions change based on who they are useful for. The medical definition used to say dysphoria only, and now its starting to say euphoria too. Because thats valid.
And saying you’re queer while claiming to be a straight male to prove a point might be… Rebellious, but Im glad youre trying the labels on for size. Youre valid.
I’m so sorry you were told that. I’m glad you know its bullshit and you’re spreading the message with this meme. I thought I was aware to the extent transmeds were transphobic… Nope, you’ve shown me where the goalpost really got moved to.
This and the replies here are actually kind of inspiring. I guess I dont work right now and its very stressful because I feel stuck in my parents home, I dont have the power to craft my life the way I like just yet. But if I never had to work? It’d be so cool to just make art about what life feels like. I’d probably try harder at improving the social experience around me, as opposed to being so confident I need to move away in order to ever be important or build wealth.

Today was honestly fantastic. My partner and I went to a Renaissance festival with the kiddo.

This is a powerful discovery, I’m proud of you, that you did this for yourself and that you’re ready to make more changes to feel great again and again.
I’m pretty sure the people who still use Twitter use it for the drama. Mastodon and Bluesky just aren’t as spicy to them. Hell, Mastodon takes setting up to even get anything interesting.

My initial position was that AI art would be exciting when a more carefully curated training data is used. … But after some talking with friends, I think we’re living in a world that has minimal respect for copyright already, except when a corporation has a problem with it and wants to bring down the hammer of the law.
It does hurt and its easy to be emotional about artists’ livelihoods being threatened by AI, they aren’t the only laborers threatened by job loss to automation, but this one hurts the most.
So now its just up to AI and artists to make interesting art with it. And for artists to adapt to this environment that has automated art tools.
I think Slovene got it best. The character is just shamelessly drooling over something on her phone, and her family can tell she’s a big pervert. Hehe.
