I'm trying to avoid stirring the pot with naming names. It's stuff that's gotten under my skin for a while, and on a plethora of subjects. I don't talk to them very often, regardless.

On the subject, though, it is frustrating that AI is very likely the one art form I can realistically use to make what I want to because of the sheer volume of disabilities that otherwise get in the way, so @scoobdog's comments were what really pissed me off in that thread since it's effectively telling me anything I make with genuine effort using it isn't real art. So from my perspective, I think it's fair to be upset at someone telling me I can't be a "real" artist because my disabilities prevent me from doing the kinds of art I would like to. It makes the suggestion that no AI art will ever be worth anything into a genuinely offensive sentiment. But I'm not upset with you, nor him, over it since you're both capable of nuance.

It's not you. Didn't know you were mad, though...?

I kind of miss being immature enough to relentlessly rip into people here when they definitely warrant it. Some people are far too dense and pompous to "kill with kindness." There's someone I'd love to rant about, but it's been months since the last "well, fuck you too" incident, and this place won't really be worth the effort when the inevitable next one comes. It's not like being ruthless in calling them out for the asshole they are will do anything when their ego is so disproportionately large compared to the quality of the their character. I rarely interact with them, anyway. So, here I am, impotently throwing shade into the night.

Attack on Titan: The Final Musical Part 3: Part 1

Scared? Yeah, I would be, too.

There are very few shows as good as the first season of Murder One.

Hands up, this is a rubbery!

More like a deep stinker!

Luckily, human microtesticles are not showing up in plastic.

Netflix has Monster, which was the same author as Pluto.

What am I supposed to give Greeny's grandpa, then?!

He also probably said movies weren't art back in the day, too!

What constitutes as art? If an AI were sentient, would its art be invalid? How do you know it will never amount to anything in the world of art? If a person sees art and it inspires their art, does that count as imitation no matter how different it may become? At what point is imitation no longer imitation? Literally the most rudimentary questions punch holes in the statement. The point you're making is about as reductive as it gets and tends to be made by people with no understabding of what it is.

I count 3 fingers and a thumb that are closed.

This is, and always will be, a very shallow sentiment. Probably not the best thread for that, though.

Most people can't draw hands. If you look closely on animation, a common practice is to have them closed or at angles with only a couple fingers visible at a time. It's why so many western cartoons have fewer fingers as a base character design, like Family Guy or The Simpsons. Not really an AI exclusive issue, it's not uncommon to see off-model hands or people with 6 fingers even when it's hand-drawn.

I don't know that I needed any individual class as much as the degree itself.

My university closed and their records are held by a different university for student access. The best case scenario for a university deciding to not safeguard student transcripts during closure would be negligence. I'd be surprised if there were no record retention regulations for education, especially when going to college is so expensive.

I only recently discovered Scrappy Doo is a very hated character. Seems weird. I never had a problem with him as a kid, and from what I've seen as an adult, he's like just another Scooby Doo cast member. Probably a little annoying for adults, but not really out of place and ultimately pretty inoffensive. He was definitely a character I had limited opinion on since his appearances are more sporadic than most of the cast and the Scooby Doo team shifting so much between incarnations was one thing about the franchise that confused the fuck out of me growing up, so I really didn't know what to make of him. Anyway, I do appreciate him getting GOATed for offing the worst version of Velma anyone has ever conceived.
