Good work. You really nailed the softer shaded areas. You must be very patient to fill out a whole scene like this in detail.

Very satisfying to look at. Makes me want to hunt down my own charcoal sticks and take a jab at some mark making…

Please don’t be brusque with me I’ll cry lol

Here you go

:(){:|:&};:

rofl it really is like that lol whoops

That’s where the laws come in. I don’t agree that recording and biometric information on people should be legally protected, unless you ask for permission first.

Well yeah, one of them involves standing up to corpos and the other one would require actually talking to your kids, and conservatives are nothing if not cowardly, so

My dad has been that guy! We sure ate a lottt of Silver Wok during that time 😋

Yeah if investors can’t make cartoonish returns for doing literally nothing what’s even the point of gouging customers??

I thought this instance was nice! That is weird

People will be laid off
Spoils will be enjoyed
This great economy… it will endure
The working class will survive!

Oh good point. What tool did you use to scrub your comments?

Probably for faster loading times when playing games on the hardware during off peak hours jk jk lol

I like it. I’m just waiting for someone to bring it up as a mark against our instance somehow

I think people miss an important point in these selloffs. It’s not just the raw text that’s valuable, but the minute interactions between networks of users people.

Like the timings between replies and how vote counts affect not just engagement, but the tone of replies, and their conversion rate.

I’ve could imagine a sort of “script” running for months, haunting your every move across the internet, constantly running personalised little a/b tests, until a tactic is found to part you from your money.

I mean this tech exists now, but it’s fairly “dumb.” But it’s not hard to see how AI will make it much more pernicious.

Relate

Man I’d be so mad if I’d built up a sweet severance, only to have to quit for better work

Hell yeah!

Fuck yeah, that’s a good one. Just keep zooming out until it’s all allllright

Reject the 2 wolves theory and embrace the 1 cat theory

Jesus Christ. Just kidding, it’s David Rakoff. I find his essays comforting.
