To all the people in the notes wondering how we got anywhere before GPS: we got lost a lot. Like a lot. If it was a new place we would pull out the maps, we all had local maps in the car and then these huge huge huge books of maps called atlases and we'd have one for every state we'd be driving through

And before a trip we would plot our whole entire route, and go back over it every night at the hotel, and we would write all the directions down on a little note and someone would be in charge of navigation and making sure we didn't miss any turns.

For local stuff all directions would be described in reference to other things. You still see this when older folks give directions. Do you ever get the "do you know where the ruby Tuesday is? No? How about the Buffalo wild wings? Yeah okay so from there go down til you see a Wendy's and turn left..." instead of them just telling u the address so u can plug it into ur GPS? That's why.

I have fond memories of getting helaciously lost in Kentucky because we had to go around a bad accident, and we didn't have a Kentucky map because we hadn't planned on going thru Kentucky and we stopped at a gas station to get a map but they didn't have any and my dad came back to the car swearing up and down about these goddamn Kentucky communists who didn't even sell maps in their gas stations,

fuckingconversations

honestly the funniest thing about this post is referring to kentuckians as communists.

Hey OP you are wrong and a MASSIVE idiot

sorry i don’t think ill ever get past the blatant racism in the fact that the italian and irish mobs are heavily romanticized and almost idolized while latino/african american mobs and gangs are seen as the scum of the earth who single handedly ruin society. not saying either is good or anything but the absolute polar opposite way that white organized crime vs non-white organized crime is treated by media and white society is fucking nuts to me. just blatant stone cold hypocrisy

And Italians and the Irish only get this privilege because white people brought them into whiteness to serve as a vanguard against the Latinos and the Negroes.

OP you are an absolute moron you know that right?

los "be gay, do crime" son los que cuando preguntas en reddit para maneras de ver cosas pirateadas te dicen "yo pago por las cosas que veo y no robo a creadores de contenido :/". dejá de defender a Netflix chupahuevo

Estás robando a creadores de contenido y haciendo mal a toda la indústria de entretenimento. Eso no es sobre Netflix.

pearl really was a character of all time huh

transfemmbeatrice

literally created to serve. fall in love with the person you serve, love her for millennia, and be literally forced to keep the secret of her true identity, a burden you have to now bear alone because she died. she chose to die to have a son who is now your responsibility. you have to care for raise and love an innocent child who reminds you of the person you were in love with. he only exists because chose someone else over you, after you were at her side for thousands of years, and she chooses someone’s she’s known for no time at all and he gets to have what you never could. and you just live like that. also the world keeps ending.

transfemmbeatrice

anyways i listened to it’s over isn’t it and i’m feeling so normal about it!!!!

People really need to rewatch the show If they think Rose did not love Pearl or that having Steven was about choosing between partners

A fun little AU! I wanted to draw an in-between design of my RQ and PD so I came up with this :)

As if Pearl would just let Rose run off like that. She'd be the one trying to convince Rose to come back, not Greg.

hedonism is good actually rich people just suck at it

the-sunflower-spaceman

i think not only do we have a moral obligation to preserve human life but also a moral obligation to maximize the pleasure of others and ourselves (provided it doesn’t hurt anyone)

the-sunflower-spaceman

people don’t just deserve to eat food, they deserve to eat good food that tastes good without worrying about nutritional content

people don’t just deserve clothes, they deserve nice clothes that are well made and fit their personal style

people don’t just deserve the bare minimum, they don’t just deserve to be alive, they deserve to live and have nice things for no other reason than making that particular person happy

Stupidest Post here

lesbianlongings

accepting that love isn’t purely romantic is so difficult. but it’s true. love is everything and everywhere. its your friends. its the soft embrace of a warm spring breeze. it’s picking up a new hobby. it’s the sea spray during summer. it’s the small corner store you went to as a child. it’s everything. the world is built on love.

Stupidest Post I have read here and that is a lot

Out of all the movies that flopped last year, I was the most surprised for Wish flopping

Me too.

Wish didn't flop. It made 260K in theaters and hás yet to racha digital

[ID: an edited meme showing a Black man looking out across a street with text above them reading “I bring a sort of “just pirate it” Vibe to the conversation that my “which streaming service is that on” friends don’t really like”. /end ID.]

Piracy. Is. Theft.

AI defenders will make it seem as if art is this gatekept pastime that only the most elite can partake in and they’re making it possible for the “normies” to create meanwhile one of the most memorable pieces of recent art I’ve ever seen is “My son’s drawing of safe”

Well, I don't want to create anything like that. I want to create something that looks neat and clean and symmetrical. What then?

then you use the tools for that job, naturally.

What if I have no time or energy because of a job or my education?

prettiestvampiressinthecoven

Well, if using Ai in place of talent or skill is your favorite option, your education is obviously failing you

Tell me how I may acquire that talent or skill

prettiestvampiressinthecoven

There's this funny little thing called practicing and not piggy backing off robots to do a piss poor job :)

See above. This is how class differences actually come out most of the time.

prettiestvampiressinthecoven

I was actually taught by my mother and lived in poverty for a long time, though im not sure how class plays into being against AI "art" because its soulless, lazy, and frequently steals from real artists, me and her practiced on napkins and used broken pencils, its not the Quality that makes art, art, its the fact that art is the one universal understanding, and AI can't replicate it, no matter how hard you argue it. It will never be art, effort makes art, no matter how much effort, if you can type in a prompt to Bing, you can look up a free drawing tutorial and create your own art, no job worth doing comes quickly or easy, art takes practice, i was incredibly lucky these past few years, my parents bought a new house and were able to take me to art lessons before I started middle school, please, AI is horrible, compare real human made art, to fake, stolen AI art, AI looks soulless, effortless isn't always good, when I was younger I spent my recesses with a bunch of kids who wanted to draw like me, and I did my best to teach them, look for any artistic person in your life and just ask, ask them to explain color theory or body ratios, hell, I'd explain it to you, I apologize if anything I said offended you, but I hope you realize the effect an increased usage of AI does to creatives

So what you're saying is you just found the time because you wanted it so much, and now you're just fine because you got a break. And of course you, who had people who loved and supported you all the way, are representative of all people who lived in poverty. If you can do it, can't they? How original. Can we make a new kind of bourgeois propaganda or are we just stuck with this general story frame forever?

Lol @cadmium64 your replies are beyond pathetic. Grow up and work at the skills you wanna have. AI is not a skill. It is art theft.

Don't you guys have butter to churn or something? Ink to refill? Why don't you just hop in your carriage and go to the market and get yourself some nice filling bread and cheese?

I'm just dishing out low grade insults at this point. I promised myself I wouldn't argue on the internet because it made me feel bad, but this feels fine really.

Look at @cadmium64 and their pathetic attempt to hide their lack of drive and talent XD

"I don't get why AI bros™ say artists are elitist gatekeepers, look at this drawing a kid made."

"But what if I want to make something that doesn't look like a child's drawing?"

"Then you'd better be able to buy the right tools and spend a lot of time practicing, you lazy thief. Hey everyone, get a load of this person's pathetic lack of drive and talent!"

It is truly a mystery why anyone would think such friendly and non-judgmental people were a bunch of elitist gatekeeping assholes.

Also, it will never stop being funny how "AI art looks soulless" if and only if the person making that judgment already knows that it was made by AI:

Every time you open your mouth you come off more like a pathetic talentless hack XD

My dad and I once had a disagreement over him using the adage "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

I said, "That's just not true. Sometimes what doesn't kill you leaves you brittle and injured or traumatized."

He stopped and thought about that for a while. He came back later, and said, "It's like wood glue."

He pointed to my bookshelf, which he helped me salvage a while ago. He said, "Do you remember how I explained that, once we used the wood glue on them, the shelves would actually be stronger than they were before they broke?"

I did.

"But before we used the wood glue, those shelves were broken. They couldn't hold up shit. If you had put books on them, they would have collapsed. And that wood glue had to set awhile. If we put anything on them too early, they would have collapsed just the same as if we'd never fixed them at all. You've got to give these things time to set."

It sounded like a pretty good metaphor to me, but one thing I did pick up on was that whatever broke those shelves, that's not the thing that made them stronger. That just broke them. It was being fixed that made them stronger. It was the glue.

So my dad and I agreed, what doesn't kill you doesn't actually make you stronger, but healing does. And if you feel like healing hasn't made you stronger than you were before, you're probably not done healing. You've got to give these things time to set.

Stupid argument all around

i hope the internet archive losing this lawsuit against the big 4 finally pushes tumblr culture to be pro-piracy for books too instead of the weird "how dare you, personally, strip hardworking authors of the 10 cents the multimillion dollar publishing corporation will give them if they sell 10,000 copies in 1 week" culture we've been in

Piracy is always immoral by definition. Doesn't matter what kind.

stop making excuses for playing hogwarts legacy.

“the people who worked on the game need to be supported tho 🥺”

the people who worked on the game already got their cut and went home. your money is just going towards jkr and the corporation

“but harry potter was my childhood 🥺”

same. but this isn’t revisiting old media. this is an entirely new product. and you’re allowed to grow out of things and move on when the dead horse gets beaten and your media literacy skills improve.

“but i pirated it 🥺”

good for you. was it worth it? is it a fantastic game? is oppressing jews goblins such a delight you’re willing to break the law over it?

“can’t you just let me have fun? 🥺”

if playing a game made by a racist, transphobic, anti-semitic, fatphobic bigot where the entire plot is to defeat the jews goblins because of white wizard supremacy is fun to you then i think you might need to seriously consider why.

if you are playing hogwarts legacy and/or supporting it online you are choosing to value a video game over the lives of jewish and trans people. you are allying yourself against jewish and trans people. if people hate you for choosing a video game over human lives you have no grounds to be upset.

sometimes doing good things and being an ally is difficult. sometimes it means not doing something that you wanted to do. it’s sucks but that’s life. get over it and shut up.

Incredibly braindead take. I'd buy the game twice just for seeing bs like this.

You absolute idiot....humans are the parasites who are responsible for these things existing
