#woctober day 12

Four panel comic featuring characters from the webcomic Magic Words. Elis says, "Why do I need these schmancy clothes anyway?" W says, "Appearances are important! What you wear sends a message to everyone who sees you. Take me for example. What would someone assume about me based on how I look?" Elis responds, "Um... You're conscious about your height. You're too scared to actually pierce your ears. You're a neat freak. You spend most of your money on clothes. You care more about your hair than--" "Okay I get it"

great breakdown and a perfect illustration of why being told my clothes are too expensive is immensely frustrating

i've chosen the route of indie designer + online retailer and i charge retail prices at a markup of 2-2.2x, when it should be closer to 3x, in an effort to be as affordable as possible

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

People will try to excuse/defend the chuds by saying they've just watched too much porn but I'm a dyke who watches porn all the time and don't have this problem. Chuds do this because forcing every woman into their ideal sex doll aesthetic is the power fantasy.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

I think whats gonna be the only diff between then and now is that *then* the dot com bubble bursting took out folks connected to it but this time the AI bubble bursting is gonna take out darn near everything all b/c ppl are putting their fingers in their ears and going lalalala all for a quick hit.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

You are not lazy. You are doing normal human things at a normal human pace. The people who want you to chase money and be productive 24/7 are the freaks. We can reject their ideas when we are in our own homes.
