The whole point of charity for them is to feel like a charitable hero and if they remove that by taxing them and giving people help automatically, they hate it because they think people who don't deserve it might get it- as in people who don't suck up to rich people

If it's normal to buy candy and hand out to children for free using our paychecks, then why can't we keep the same energy with school meals. 🤔

If you're a solo dev/small indie team looking for art or logos please don't turn to genAI. I would honestly rather folks reach out to a designer and offer like rev share alongside a smaller up front cost to get something made by a person.

Hell email me and we'll chat. Don't turn to the slop machine

OverClocked ReMix (We ♥ video game music!) 🎮🎵 @ocremix.org · 4d

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

The world isn't conditioned to allow people to say they are many different things. We are either A, B or C. I refuse to play into the culture war games, I love my culture and where I come from. And I think all of us sharing that with each other serves to bring us closer as one human race.

Adam @katoncomics.com · 3d

I come from the people who were concurred and people who were on a conquest. Overtime, I learned to accept that I don't need to feel bad for just saying, I am Latino. That's it. Our cultures are what bring us together and it goes beyond categorizing ourselves based on outward appearances.

My grandparents were Taino, and for some reason I always get the "You don't like -" So what do people like me look like? I'm mixed with so many things that I never felt like I belonged in any specific category. Yet people want to make you feel bad for not claiming you are A, B or C.

I learned that I was also part Navajo, yet I cannot claim that I am on any documents because my family was not officially part of the tribe and because I don't meet a certain percentage requirement to state as such. Imaging living in a world where you have to constantly prove you exist.

I am Puerto Rican but throughout my life, I often find myself needed to "prove" that I am who I am. There are people who, for whatever reason, want to "claim" you based on outward appearance rather than the culture you grew up in. We are put in categories that are made up to divide us.

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay! Thought I'd talk about my experience navigating societal constructs and the disillusion of a tribalistic nature that has evolved in the most negative way.

Want to combat AI scraping? Try this:
🔸Nightshade and Glaze your images
