I didn’t know it was called Corporate Memphis! I actually prefer it to endless dead-eyed stock photos, personally. At least someone was experimenting or focused on a goal when making it.

If I was capable of runner’s high I would! I just don’t get physical exertion endorphins like some people get, it seems.I just grow in a different way instead…

Right. R’s have the advantage of appealing to the people who are so dedicated to authority that they can just lie to their face and the best response is ‘why would he lie? He’s wearing a suit!’

Dem’s used to have that advantage in the 90’s but didn’t have the stomach for real work, which ultimately is how they bled their own weakness into the open air to target and it ended up being genocide of the Gazans that laid it out for all to see

No I fully agree. I just got into a real shitfight with the ‘leftists’ who take it to the next step and just promote voter suppression, which is not the answer.

The DNC strategists, advisors, AIPAC-backed, ‘let them hang themselves so we can just wait to win’, all of them are culpable. We need to bring back defenestration for a lot of them. The fact that they spent all of their money in the PRIMARIES shows just how terrified they are of work and how effective and realistic a threat the populist, socialist left actually are.

He’s 6’5" and is an avid… well he’s not a bodybuilder and he’s not an athlete in the sense that he does -a- sport seriously, but he stays fit. It’s a grwat example of what anyone could achieve if you actually dedicated the time to it in parallel with spending 8+ hours a day at a deak playing games and watching internet videos, news and otherwise.

I’d only alter this saying “the GOP’s” mishaps because never forget that they facilitated this absolute clownshow shitatorship.

It’s a distraction, like literally everything else. He represents a vocal fraction of functional leftists who are successfully infiltrating the DNC so everyone’s pissed because the people he promotes are generally more policy focused and actually grass roots politicians who appear, for the time being, to actually be dedicated to some kind of reform and actually have the momentum to achieve it in a reasonable timeframe.

So nowthe GOP is pissed because they aren’t the only populists, the DNC is pissed because they might actually have to put in effort to get any electoral power, and the leftists are pissed because literally nothing can make them happy, and at the cemter of it all is a succeasful, rich, 6’5" himbo who streams 8 hours a day and has consistent messaging that might actually end up meaning something long term. Real easy target.

The ‘functional unemployment rate’ that reaches 24% includes ‘those involuntarily working part time for povery wages less than $26,000 annually before taxes’ according to CBS news

The disability rate and disenfranchisement rates are different statistics. Just straight unemployment period amongst those who can work and/or are lloking is the lower single digit figure, generally around 4-7%

You know I want to say I earnestly want to give them the benefit of a doubt and that they need it pointed out that they’re just saying shit and not even realizing what they’re signing up for.

But also, like, I see a target I shoot at it. Maybe I’m not much better.

I like how you missed the point entirely. Log off and call your Mom.

You know that openly saying you want to be on a misandry list is a bad thing, right?

Even if you are trying to make an overly moralizing statement about overcorrection and overreaction, you’re still a giant asshole, you know that, right?

Edit just to make sure I cover the bases but what I’m trying to say is you would be way more well off not commenting, I just need you to know that was always an option.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there’s some weird projection happening here because there is no way whatsoever that has anything to do with unattractive entitled people. Words mean things, and you need to review what it is you’re trying to cpmmunicate here.

I have a base, flat amount of respect for anyone who is willing to speak out and call nazis nazis. Right now there’s a literal dark money fountain available to people who want to defend Israel, for instance, and anyone who isn’t taking that and still willing to ragebait probably isn’t 100% terrible. And real talk hatesubs are not real. That’s some wild conspiracy stuff. If they are, then fuck it, get that bag. Flat respect who can get people to pay to say how much they hate your titties on a platform where you’ll be instantly squuelched and still take your money.

I’m just here promoting real, sane, criticism.

What does this even mean?

I mean I’m not disagreeing. If anything I hate Reddit more for being a crushing echo chamber that takes people who might have a good thing going and turning them into steralized, nonfunctional content monsters.

I do think it’s a time will tell kind of thing. Even SrGrapho just sort of fell into a hole where he was doing OC nudes and has yet to make a decent meme format in a decade.

Pizzacake could be better but I don’t mind that she’s taking on nazi’s and right wing weirdos who can’t help but lose their shit over titties and even the gentlest of criticisms. And refer to the first paragraph but there isn’t a single reddit community I would take the word of at face value.

Personally I think at the beginning thely were cute, funny, and at bare minimum I give bonus points to anyone starting out trying to do something rather than listen to di guses who think that there’s a hard baseline for content.

But I do think she became some sort of Reddit beast that got stuck in a flattery eddie off to the side of the R/ALL tributary and stopped getting meaningful criticism and it hurt a lot of her output and growth.

And yet she still has more talent and entertainment value then a bunch of slackjawed comment troglydites with the most incredibly iroic sense of mediocre.

Hey cool. You make all the calculations you want. As long as you’re supporting creators then that’s all that matters. I reiterate, there are people who take great personal offense to having to pay money for anything and you don’t appear to be one of them.

That doesn’t change the fact that artists and creatives have no other outlet than to be beholden by their platform. Unless you’re going and buying hatsune miku fanart prints at your farmers market, unethucal consumption under captitalism also means trying to find out how to provide for the staff who still contribute to meaningful art, even if that is the set designer for an Avengers slop movie.

I had this sort of sympathy until I saw how openly hostile people were in their open jealousy over talented people. I kept running into these people for years who were just so angry at the fact that they had to pay someone for their time and talent.

This gets to be a little offshooty for other things I tend to have less popular opinions on, but it’s the same people who feel that piracy should be the norm. No art, performance, or entertainment should be allowed to compel payment and it should all be free. This includes people who absolutely froth about advertisments on their Youtube videos. Granted 5 ads in a row is ridiculous but peraonally I want my artists and performers to be paid egregiously and I will suffer some small inconveniences to make sure they ateast get something from me.

But I think the venn diagram of people who are obsessed with AI and the people who just take offense to having to spend money on anything is a pretty tight one.

I think the most upsetting part of AI is discovering how many people were so ready for it, like they were just waiting for something to show up that they could offload their lack of creativity or responsibility onto.

I instantly lost friends because the first thing out of their mouth was ‘thank God I never have to pay anyone to commission art ever again and the little guy has access to good OC art.’

These people were not functioning before AI.
