Looking at it now, it's possible I posted this upside down 🤷

Ah, also, it's butt ugly. Sry to the cartoonist, who is probably very nice, but that plasticky, slick looking tablet screen linework is starting to get to me. It's everywhere.

Art was a mistake.

That is unbelievably irresponsible.

Begun the Bot War has.

Yikes. You know, vegans are targeted by the extremely wealthy & powerful meat & dairy industries who spend untold fortunes making the vegan lifestyle look as unappealing and "crazy" as possible?

I mean, I'm sure you're galaxy brain is impervious to propaganda and everything, I'm just saying, you're painting with an awfully broad brush.

Same shit happens when you have sex with them. Extremely frustrating.

Because I was being hyperbolic. You're probably doing it right imo.

I appreciate the point you're trying to make but if you look into it, our meat habit is far and away one of, if not the, biggest climate challenges we face. We cannot continue consuming meat at our current pace and curb global warming, it's that simple. And while my initial post is extremely judgemental, I really just wish people would start paying attention to how much meat they eat. Is it really necessary? Really? Every meal? Considering the resources meat requires to harvest, I don't think so, but, sure, harp on my clothes, bro/broette.

Ooooh, I'm pretty sure I know the employee owned chain you speak of because I shop there too. I started going when some of Safeway's prices mysteriously doubled for no apparent reason. I'm so happy I made the switch. Those greedy pigs at Safeway did me a favor.

That's nice to say, but actually your meat consumption is fucking everyone up, even people who choose to live their lives the way they like and not fuck the Planet up because they lack the willpower to resist that tasty tasty carcass at literally every meal.

EDIT: Meaters, eating just one meal a day that includes meat would make a HUGE environmental impact. Just, try it for a week, cut down to meat for one meal daily. Breakfast or lunch or dinner. It's easy.

Is that right? Because it seems to me the Republicans can't even muster up the respect to address the Democratic Party as the Democratic Party and insist on calling it the Democrat Party just to be a bunch of fucking disrespectful assholes. Party leaders have been doing so for decades.

But please, continue your Ted Talk about childish behavior...

Also, they used our general knowledge and culture to train the damn things. They should be open sourced for that reason alone. Llms should be seen and treated like libraries, as collections of our common intellect, accessible by everyone.

Oh. I always assumed it was because she is, like, well endowed, or something. Guess that's a me thing.

See, I, like millions upon tens of millions of others, were not fooled for even one nanosecond by that Orange Fuck's obvious horseshit so, you're kind of undercutting your own credibility there, champ.

Actually this happened to me when I modded Slay the Spire the other night.

Actually, a lot don't. I mean, like, at least fifty percent. You would be surprised. I don't think it's schools being conservative so much as it didn't occur to teachers and staff that analogue clocks are frankly obsolete (I still like them). I didn't read this article, but it sounds like that's being corrected.

Anyways, I really respect your attitude that it's not worth getting bent out of shape or spending a lot of time on, I think you're right. A lot of people get precious about it or, worse, make fun of kids like they're stupid because they haven't wasted their time learning to read, essentially, a sundial.

That's what I've resorted to, but I only use Firefox because it has a master password.

Chrome has no master password so what stops any fool from stealing your passwords while you're taking a piss, I don't know.

Password managers always cause me headaches, though, and never want to integrate correctly. More trouble than their worth in my estimation.

Hobbit Smash!

Oh well, in that context, totally not two out of touch tower goblins, nvmd!

It's crazy to me to see all the hollowed out store fronts because local businesses can't pay "rent." Especially after the pandemic.

The small business couldn't make rent, so the Landlord kicked them out, so now the business person has no business and the landlord has a boarded up storefront covered with graffiti. There are entire city blocks abandoned because of this nonsense. Who does this benefit?

I've also heard ferrets are terrible at Cribbage, but I'm not a scientist.

I want to see someone look at this image, and then tell me, to my face, that AI isn't art. TRY IT!

I read a suggestion that he's combining Kamala and Obama because he's a dumb ass racist and that theory actually kind of tracks.

Another good non-offensive example is communities that speak a different language than you.

/c/ich_iel, you all seem very nice, but I never know what the hell you are yammering on about. BLOCKED.

I want to connect with you, emotionally :)

Really nice!

Anyone interested in learning more about the organization their gloves represented, I recommend The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History, by David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson.

It's chock full of wholesome scenes like this one:

Oh, I'm okay, thank you. The op comment is intentionally hyperbolic to help drive home the point.

I was thinking about my Reddit account. How it's really old and has tens of thousands of mean, cranky ass bad takes, half of which are probably not true or I wrote when I was high, depressed, or stressed about events beyond my control.

Those are all getting scraped by Google right now to be rolled up into the permenant knowledge base of their next massive AI model. You're welcome!

This comic is only true maybe in the sense of time passing, really.

It's funny you don't know what Pixelfed is. Your username is cashmaggot@pixelfed.social lol. You have that space to post artwork in the future if you'd like. It's sort of like Instagram, I guess, but non-commercial. Anyways, thanks for sharing, I like talking shop.

No kidding, next time try Truth Social, bro. They'll be rolling in the aisles over there.

Lol fair enough. Indian ink, Windsor & Newton, specifically.

I've only used 2 & 3 before, so I actually like going way smaller than that, but 4/0 is damn small.

I got this tiny guy b/c it's pure kilinsky and was on mega clearance at my local art store for something like ten bucks so I snagged it. Hopefully I'll find a happy medium next time.

btw I checked out your Pixelfed, but there's nothing :(

Oof, thanks for this.
