op, I’m removing this because it’s not in the usual TIL format.

I would also prefer if you simply write the text from the image. Just so I don’t get so many reports from whiny bitches complaining about ai slop. They clearly weren’t around for the era of “this is Photoshop, I can tell by the pixels”.

Everyone, this is Aww. One of the few places left to just be nice and decent. Any incivility well be removed. Let’s start the new year off more civilly, please.

A true fellow of culture. Just don’t trust the skull.

Because everyone is broke af

Here’s a friendly reminder of rule 1: be kind. If you can’t, then be quiet.

Oh shit, that’s an old school reference. Poor Mr. Cheeseface.

For those unfamiliar, this is from an old National Lampoons magazine.

A few years later, someone actually shot that dog.

Op, this is the most delightful post I’ve seen here in a while. Thank you for sharing this.

Ughhhh this is terrible. Thank you.

Well, have fun, I guess?

Well, they’re not a mod here. I’m one of the poor saps with that role. Is… Is that what you want…? That’s not even a rule here.

Hi there. Would you please reply to this comment to show that you’re not a spam bot? I would like to stop receiving reports about your posts

I’m gonna need you to clarify your point some more

Hours of your life and fractions of your soul.

Honestly though, when the prices get significantly high, both sets of lanes are backed up to hell and it doesn’t really matter.

But you didn’t. And not only does the first half of your comment contribute nothing to the conversation, but your second half is just outright disrespectful.

Please refrain from both aspects of such commentary in the future. They’re not conducive to good discussion in this community.

Just going to go on record here. It’s not okay to harass anyone here because they’re autistic. We’re not opening this door, it gets ugly real quick. Further commentary will result in comment removal and potential bans.

No, it doesn’t matter if they’re billionaires. There’s plenty of actual reasons you can give them shit. Don’t touch autism or any other form of hate speech.

You’re missing my point, though. You pay lip service to wanting something to be done about this, but all your words only spout doom and gloom in a defeatist attitude. Your words actively betray your supposed intentions.

If you actually wanted progress in this matter, you would benefit from changing your messaging. Otherwise, you just look like every other troll that’s actually pro-nazi.

So which is it?

You raise fair points, but I want to circle back to intent. Because what you’re advocating in your last sentence is hurt by your original comment.

The whole point of “it’s happened once before” is to show that something is actually possible. It’s not theoretically possible, there’s a real world example to show it.

Bringing up counterexamples does not change that.

You can show one counterexample. Ten. A hundred. A thousand examples of when something didn’t work. They don’t negate the one time it did.

And to go even further, you should frame all those counterexamples as simply learning lessons. Examples on how not to do it. Because the framing here matters. If you want someone to be smart and try to find a solution, you frame history that way.

If you’re trying to discourage others from trying, you do it the way you initially did.

Based off latest rumors, Gaben is going to kick the door in and yank that trophy right off the shelf.

What’s more, they didn’t even dismiss the complaint, just ordered them to resubmit it without it. Anyone claiming they dismissed didn’t bother to read the article.

Are you aware just how long anime has been around? There are boomers who grew up on anime. Astro Boy is from the 60s.
