Not to be a luddite on main but the defense "well you're just like the people who were against cars or who thought cinemas were just a passing fad" is actually faulty at its very core. There are thousands of things that WERE passing fads. That didnt last. Thousands of things that were unsafe and didnt work out. We're removing asbestos wherever we can. We're removing mercury. We stopped bleeding people to cure them. Eating goldfish alive and standing at the top of a pole were fads. Even heelies didnt last, for a more benine example. Just because the thing that is being opposed is 'recent' doesnt it mean it will last forever or is necessary a good progress.

whatever happened to rightwing tumblr?

Same thing that happened to the rest of this site I guess, people moved on to other places

We all are, some of us just started sounding more like leftoids (read: statist, retarded) after Trump took his 30 pieces of silver.

I travel to France quite often, but I have a special love for the south and its lavender fields. Whenever I think of France, those endless purple landscapes are the first thing that comes to mind. I’m sure there are lavender fields in other regions too, but it’s the ones in the south that have stayed with me the most.Three years ago, I traveled through southern France, visiting Montpellier and several beautiful towns along the coast. I also visited a monastery, wandered through the lavender fields, and came home with hundreds of photographs that I later shared on my social media.Some time later, those memories inspired this painting. Of course, I didn’t paint the scene exactly as I saw it. I made the colors richer, the sunset brighter, and the atmosphere more expressive. That’s what I love about Impressionism—it isn’t about copying reality perfectly, but about capturing an emotion. Perhaps this wasn’t the exact feeling I had at that moment, but it’s the emotion that remained with me as a beautiful memory of that journey.

I killed the rat king of New York and inherited his throne by right of conquest or whatever, but I never took the rat oaths so I can speak to and command rats and they are compelled to obey, but they formally elected a rat president last year. I don't have any formal power in their social hierarchy but I have very real concrete magical power over them. I guess the title gets passed to my eldest son unless a rat kills me at some point.

all I use my powers for is making rats salute me when I walk by and they all hate it

The rats got his ass.

Spending my time productively while waiting for work feedback.

Don't ask me why I did this... my mind wanders when I spend too long on a piece. 😂

Special thanks to Gashmangla Rexum for his guide to ork slang. I feel like I didn't dumb it down enough tho. 😂

All the airlines are canceling their flights to Dubai, some of them all the way up through 2027.

On the one hand, shit's about to heat up and get bad.

On the other hand, lol Jeetland and its population of influencers and sex pests is fucked.

[riflebrass]

I'm not sure if you're being funny comparing arabs to jeets, if you really think Dubai is in India, or if something big is about to happen between India and UAE that I'm unaware of.

[dittography-direwolf]

ngl I was under the impression it was an India thing because that's usually the sort I see promoting it, but on further consideration I may have been being retarded.

[riflebrass]

It does sound like an Indian city. I wouldn't have known otherwise if not for Spec Ops: The Line.

But calling arabs Jeets intentionally would still be pretty funny.

Cynical take but I don't think the AI bubble will burst.

Not because of some breakthrough that will make AI genuinely and generally useful or anything like that. Rather because I think when these companies start to fail they'll be propped up by bailouts/buyouts/investor takeovers that will put them under the control of companies that are government fronts (like Palantir).

The bubble will be turned into a dome for the surveillance state to hang more cameras from.

when i was a teenager i used to catch myself thinking "i'm really glad i'm alive right now because of all the cool personal technologies that exist" and when i did i'd think it through and reckon that well, its not like teenagers in the 70s and 80s knew they didnt have ipods or facebook or whatever. they were also happy with the tech they had. and i'd reason that in the future there would be more fun technologies that i dont know i'm missing out on right now and the future will be an even cooler time to exist

anyway i was dead fucking wrong about that last part. i hate personal technologies now. i miss having an ipod that doesnt advertise shit to me and i miss when my htc wildfire didnt harass me 45 times a day to install an ai assistant and then install it anyway when i say no and i miss when the internet wasnt 5 websites all of which i have to log into and i miss when i didnt need an app to talk to my landlord. sorry past me you were actually right about 2009
