It still comes down to acceptance vs rejection, though, doesn't it?

I know it's not that simple and I probably come off as an idealist, but I can't accept it.

I don't know what the answers are yet, but rejecting their narrative is where it has to start.

I think you're dead right about the situation we're in, but it's frustrating to see this kind of framing. It feels like a self fulfilling prophecy when everyone is already so sure that we have no chance...

That's pretty interesting... I really like it

Mind sharing?

You know you're on the right side when the opposition's being swatted.

Not ambiguous. You're good 😜

I'm a transwoman and I agree with you on this. When I was dating, I was upfront and when a guy said it was a deal breaker, it saved both of us a lot of time.

Most guys I talked to said it was a dealbreaker, and yeah it sucks. It makes you feel "othered." But I can't expect anyone to go outside their sexual comfort zone for a rando on Tinder.

Most of the guys were very polite about it all, too. And that's all you should need to do.

If someone's shaming you about it, that's a good sign they have something going on in their own life. Essentially it's their problem, not yours.

Hope this helps~

This is the internet in 2024. You can only be "Right" or "Wrong" and that depends on which color flag the topic falls under, unfortunately.

I'm slowly giving up on even trying to highlight any shades of grey. The goal on both sides seems to be "Shoot first, as questions later."

Just hoping cooler heads prevail.

Those are pretty great! A lot closer to what I'd expected.

TIL about Glazing and Nightshade. Thanks!

Tax related AI memes ftw!

I attempted to make "Dax's Taxes" a few months ago using some... less refined processes.

That's a great observation. I was only thinking about the "infinity twisting around it's self" vibe

Yeah, I love to see what it comes up with when you give it minimal, existential prompts 😝

Hey, it's third eagle! This guy's a character... I found out about him on a podcast back in 2011. He says the weirdest shit, but it makes for fun soundclips and supercuts.

Holy fuck, dude. "They are sub-human" ??? Literally asking here: Who talks like that? I can think of at least one historical figure.

Oh, just noticed this reply.

In the first example "They" is a generalization, in the second is a reference to a specific set of people.

I have zero artistic talent and I find watermarking AI images to be completely ridiculous, too.

Also: You're coming off as a giant dick, here. No offense.

He says he'll slay the beast, when in reality he just wants to control it...

I agree with what you're saying, but remember that a lot of new-to-politics people are starting to pay attention, and they might now understand how the Iowa stuff works.

Shit, I barely do and I've been following politics since early 2020.

Man... after all these years I've finally found my people. Too bad I'm too socially fucked up to enjoy it.
