If you need a reason not to enlist, there's many.
Avatar luulapants 1d If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military: The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend. The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do. The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder. The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying. The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying. Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order. The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you. If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today. You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them. The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career. Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources. Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job. Veterans' benefits suck these days. Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones. The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer. The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting. A lot can change in four years.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts: When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge. You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be. Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history. You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired. Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

I'll just leave this important reminder here, useful for whenever you share anything as a link.

(The image in the quoted post doesn't have alt text but there's a link to the reddit post it's screenshotted from in the replies of the post.)
HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS! example(.)com/articl?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=emai /youtu(.)be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=Aa1Uc_fRHXC0ay85 These are source identifiers Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements."

Really meant,

"For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Happiness is just the byproduct.
IF SHARING MY CREATIONS DOESN'T MAKE ME HAPPY... WHY DO I FEEL SO COMPELLED TO DO IT? BECAUSE THE MOTIVATION BEHIND THESE ACTS OF SHARING... ...HAS NEVER BEEN FLEETING HAPPINESS. IT'S TO MAKE THE INTERNAL EXTERNAL. TO SEE IF YOUR WORK CAN SURVIVE OUTSIDE YOURSELF. IT'S BIGGER THAN JOY. IT'S COMMUNICATING IN A LANGUAGE OF YOUR OWN MAKING, AND SEEING WHO ELSE CAN CONNECT TO IT. CHATS WITH THE VOID

I made a simple explorer extension called VideoShrinker that allows you to right click on a video file and quickly compress it so that it's small enough to send them through Discord (10MB). Uses ffmpeg. Offered as is, posting it in case someone finds it useful.
