It was never, "Don't tread on us" it was always just about "me" they don't care if others are oppressed, they're fine with that, it's just the "me" part.

Really appreciate the POV angles more and more.

Tapered tail teasings~

Thanks! I did mean the rest of your art though.

Heya! Your stuff is pretty neat! Is it already up somewhere else, or do we have to wait for the next post here?

That was my experience last week. Coworker got punched out by a guy at work, senior white haired guy, bleeding on the side of his face, and he was on the phone with our district manager when I got back there with the cops and they just snapped at him to hang up now, they were more important. Rude.

It sucks so bad and it's the only place that delivers here, but we still don't get it. We'd rather have gas station or frozen pizza.

Ya just have to fit them together right, like tupperware.

Listened to an adult coworker tell someone yesterday that they use AI to read, write, make signs, do her kids homework, compose work emails...so like, why do you exist then? You're not doing anything yourself, you've replaced yourself with a bot.

"If you leave the abusive relationship, you let your abuser win!"
"If you don't let yourself be abused and let people make porn out of your pictures against your will, you're just empowering them!"

Gave it a nice long message at the end basically saying AI is just being used to take away our humanity and our decision making so it then can be easily manipulated by the powerful. They tell you exactly how to interpret the news, an email, how you should feel and of course, what you should buy.

Having chatted with someone involved with the production, Disney's Robinhood grew directly out of that pitch for a Reynard movie, but the themes of it and the villain nature of Reynard kept it from going ahead and it morphed into Robinhood after a while.

Yeah, and guess what, nothing changed. Insurance companies didn't change one thing about how they work and the company is fine. All you do is create a martyr like the other guy who was shot. His group doubled in size overnight.

Over 5 million people protested last year on one date in over 2000 cities and absolutely nothing came of it.

Everyone has the same mentality. They've done mass protests, marches over a million strong, months long "occupations" of public spaces to protest but nothing changes. The people in power don't care and people don't want to lose their livelihoods and go to jail for doing anything actually chaotic.
