I think that part of what irks me about AI being used even for "small" stuff like meme graphics (aside from all the larger problems obviously) is like.... the time spent on it was part of the humor. "this is a silly inconsequential joke but I had to stop everything and spend 5 minutes making it" was, at least for me, part of the joke. Someone really took time out of their day to make me look at something silly they took time out of their day to make. Now it's like someone took time out of my day to make me look at something no one even made. Stop wasting my time if you aren't wasting yours too.

[sanktpolypenbourg]

Tbf, before AI the time wasting was relatively one sided: someone could spend hours or days or longer working on shit that nobody would look at, and be waved away with "you should just make art for yourself, anyway".

So I think we can see how a villain backstory can form here, like you devote your life to the hatred you feel for your audience. "FOOLS! I'll waste EVERYONE'S time, and I'll give you NOTHING! And destroy the WRETCHED PLANET, too!! Muhahahahaha!"

racist white canadians and europeans want you to believe the slave trade worked like this

it did not. it is public knowledge the slave trade worked like this

and in fighting antiblackness within canada and europe it is so so so important to acknowledge these places's participation in and benefit from the transantlantic slave trade. Slavery is not just the US's dirty past, it is a triangular industry lasting centuries that white people in the united states, canada, and europe benefitted from and continue to benefit from to this day. Slavery was good for white canadians and white europeans. They liked it. they encouraged it. they had slaves, they profited from the slave trade, and they used products grown from US slave labour in every day life. The slavery of Black people would not have been possible on the sheer scale at which it happened if it were not for active, consistent participation from europe and canada.

[hyperthot-gamergirl]

It cannot be stressed enough just how staggering the numbers are either. Slavery was an international business run by white european colonizers. Even after the slave trade was "banned" by countries such as England and France those same countries continued to tacitly support the enslavement of Black people (as well as the indigenous peoples of their colonial holdings) by consuming huge amounts of the products only made possibly through the labor of enslaved peoples. The United States still has barely acknowledged its vile history as a slave economy, something it remains to be to this day through the enslavement of Black and Brown people in the carceral system, but Canada, Europe, and much of South America have seemingly gotten away scott free.

Hi pervert! I've ô’btained an item...

Also my mechanical pencil broke in a way I've never seen a mechanical pencil break, like the tip fucking fell off ???

🫪 wait show me i think i may have had this happen to pens before?? never a mechanical pencil tho fndnfn

also: reminds me of earlier today my partner was trying out a highlighter and yknow how usually any kind of dual tip marker will have it be so you can attach the top of one end to the other side easily? why did they try to do that and the top just disappeared into the other one and we can’t get it out 💀 who made this

[littlehenrikehd]

They circumcised him (T^T)

For context, this happened when I tried to push the graphite out (there is graphite in there it just won't come out for some reason)

The top ???? I've heard of ink barrels and nibs coming out but never the top what the hell ??

europeans be like “omg north americans are so racist it’s horrible” and then elect fascists

[thebellekeys]

I would like to emphasize that I agree with all of these tags by the way. My post wasn't aiming to pin all of Europe's grotesque racism on the new elections.

[dailymanners]

A few weeks ago I was at a board game night with some of my old classmates from various mainland European countries. They started talking about how horrible Trump's treatment of immigrants is and how they're so glad to be in Europe where nothing like that is happening right now. I asked them what they thought about the fact that their own governments were complicit in turning the Mediterranean into a mass grave of asylum seekers, and some of them legitimately didn't even know and were surprised to hear that their own governments had enacted policies that caused the deaths of thousands of asylum seekers.

Even here in Iceland, almost nobody has been talking about the fact that some of the far right populist parties have legitimately been talking about wanting to establish detainment camps to keep asylum seekers in.

This post is a few months old now, and the bit about Iceland is now outdated, because Alþingi (the Icelandic parliament) passed the bill approving the detention center for asylum seekers. It will be legal to handcuff and detain children there.

Never let anyone from Europe feed you the lie that racism and fascism are unique to North America in the 21st century.

[dailymanners]

This post made racists angry enough to harass me over it, which all that's going to do is make me bring this post back and reblog it more.

Highlighting that this is “considered quite rare” but in actuality we have absolutely no idea how common this, or indeed a great many variants in sexual development, are. Because if it’s not visible from the outside then we only learn about it if doctors (or coroners) go looking, and doctors only go looking if it’s causing a problem.

Stoppa Googles serverhallar

Googles serverhall i Torsboda kommer sluka el som hela Stockholm. Skriv under mot utländska techjättars explotering.

AI-datacenter i Sverige? Nej tack!

[theverycoolfish]

Även om du är inte är emot AI så borde du skriva under, om den byggs kommer den förbruka lika mycket el som hela Stockholm, vilket antagligen skulle driva upp elpriserna ÄNNU mer.

Kanske är gamla nyheter men fick precis veta att de som håller i astrid lindgrens insta konto anlitade en studio som använder AI för att "animera" och asså fan trodde vi hade mer respekt för Astrid än att hennes offeciella konto skulle lägga up AI gerjer baserat på hennes arbete.

Själv blir jag jävligt arg och ledsen på det här.
