It is hard to threaten people when you forget to put the cat out. My OCs (Vex and Robert the cat) This has gotten shared in at least one Facebook cat group and I honestly love that so, so much. Very wholesome.

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

I’m not sure if I posted these here yet—if I haven’t then I should’ve done so a long time ago—but I am the artist behind these posters for the horror arg @pendogcreative ! If you’re a fan of the genre, toons, art history, puzzles, and more, then mayhaps consider checking out this website!

It is filled to the brim with gorgeous artwork and compelling impactful writing from so many wonderful cool artists! Plus there’s also a bonus behind the scenes you can look at through @withkindereyes KoFi, so if you’re looking to support the creator you can do so through there ^-^

i rly rly hate how this site chased so much of its poc userbase away. it feels like i'm hanging out in an ethnostate sometimes

Adult ProTip, from a security professional: If a kid tells you, "My parents are gonna kill me / kick my ass / kick me out" for something relatively minor, don't respond with shit like "Really? ;) that sounds a little extreme, don't you think sweetie?" because that shit really does happen.

Instead, respond as though whatever threat they are afraid of is fully valid, and offer whatever you can do to help- ask if they believe they are in danger of being hurt in any way, and work accordingly.

If they're overreacting, they'll usually realize and dial it back, self-correct and begin thinking a bit more rationally.

If they're not overreacting, and the danger is real, then they'll need a level-headed adult in their corner, not another condescending authority figure who doesn't believe them.

Thank you for tagging ^-^ I’m mostly a media guy so pretty much anything to do in that area, especially if it’s very popular, I’ll have a lot of opinions on and could ramble for hours about, but let’s see…

1. Any anime I’m currently watching (One Piece, My Hero Academia, and Demon Slayer especially, for better or for worse)

2. My OCs (have never posted about them publically but I love rambling about them and sharing story ideas with friends)

3. Character writing and storytelling in general

4. Video games from my childhood like Sonic the Hedgehog and Kirby

5. Kpop

Unfortunately I have no other friends on here hdkshdksn so I can’t tag anyone, sorryyy

I saw this meme going around on twitter and I think it'll be perfect for this account.

List 5 topics you can talk on for an hour without preparing any material.

i feel like we as a digital society have forgotten the important rules of the internet

Don't feed the trolls

Never give out personal information

Anonymity is the best defense

Don't click suspicious links

Don't click popups and ads

Just because it's written doesn't mean it's true

You are responsible for your own experience

There is porn of everything, act accordingly

people are clowning on this guy on reddit but uhhh let's pause for a minute and ask...so what happens if someone has a skin condition? what if part of their face has been burned? what if they're missing their eyes? and so what if they just have a fuckton of tattoos? recognition algorithms are aligned with the most ""average"" / ""normal"" features which means any deviation gets denied access to shit we didnt need age verification for 1 year ago. i dont care if it's a choice versus not, dont care if it's accessing porn or wikipedia, this needs to stop
