"why make AI generated videos of ICE beating and kidnapping people when we already have a lot of real ones? you don't need to convince the left it's happening!!"

the point is to muddy the waters and give the right ammo to insist ALL the videos are/could be AI if a few of them are. #political

tbh Woody (along with emperor's new groove and almost anything with the Wayans brothers) is one of those brazilian phenomenons that points how good dialogue writting and voice acting can make or break a show

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

a experiência média de se descobrir assexual é ver alguém falando "sou assexual, não sinto atração sexual quase nunca e sexo para mim não é uma necessidade", você ficar "ué, mas isso é o normal, TODO MUNDO é assim, " e aí te responderem "não é não" e você ficar "ei! mas pera aí... 🤔".

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

i do think that’s where a lot of the obvious resentment for the userbase comes from. 90% of us on here doesn’t really care about the primary reason why this place exists but use his place out of sheer convenience

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted
