"Ask not what the country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. And I said, 'Can I screw it over as much as possible in exchange for copious amounts of money?' and my answer was, 'Why yes, I do believe I can. It would be my honor.' "

Yeah, that's pretty much it. It's just a tool*. What matters is how it's used. *excluding sentient ones, of course

AI art is going to be a new art form and will inevitably destroy the stranglehold corporations have on media. Taking existing material and transforming it is not theft. Fair Use includes transformative work as a protected right. If it is clearly a new work, even if it contains remnants of existing art, it is not theft. AI art on its own is not inherently bad. There are good and bad applications of it. Divorced from industrial or economic implications for the near future, I have not heard a single criticism of AI art as a creative medium, a meduim in its infancy no less, that do not come off as deluded out of touch ravings of pretentious cringe goblins too scared to become obsolete, neglecting that one art form existing doesn't negate the existence of all before it. I play video games and have read a book or two. One doesn't pose some existential threat to the other. AI art won't make painting impossible, you fucking idiots.

I've never really watched Venture Bros but always wanted to. As far as non-anime AS-shows, my picks are kinda out there: Moral Orel and Xavier.

The second season was prophetic toward the 2016 election.

If a story is ruined by spoilers, it's an indication that the story sucks.

I went to the General folder right after seeing this and saw "What song is stuck in your head?" or whatever that thread's called.... All of a sudden it's the Pornhub indro stinger.

Very weird way to get porn recommendations....

"Israel is 100% in the right on this and did nothing wrong!" Israel:

Lol, now she's just openly advocating for mowing down hostages. If you don't, you've fallen for the pro-Hamas propaganda. Obviously, it's for their own good if Israel kills them before Hamas does!

Most people are functionally media illiterate.

MD and @Gemini be like

ITT: Idiot invokes the holocaust to a Jew in hopes of convincing him this genocide is okay

Point to where anyone in this thread has advocated for killing Jews. A direct quote. I want to have the exact post. I do not support killing bystanders. There is one person here advocating for the extermination of countless innocent people that have no affiliation with Hamas as if they aren't terrorized by Hamas enough already. You. Only you. It's incredible you'd pull the identity politics card after so long holding open contempt for such, and to multiple people who are known to be Jewish. I'm a quarter Hebrew, doofus. I grew up going to synagogue. Being Jewish doesn’t mean I have to support Israel doing to Palestinians what Hitler did to us. A lot of Jews don't like how Israel has handled this.

Fixed to reflect the real sentiment rather than your strawman.

How does that justify the Israeli government killing civilians en masse? Hamas' atrocities are not an excuse to enact atrocities yourself. Israel going after innocent people is terrorism. Do you think I support Hamas or something? What do you even think I'm saying? You seem to think I'm defending Hamas, when I'm actually defending Hamas' victims. You know, the innocent people that have been terrorized by Hamas and are now being killed in open genocide as punishment for Hamas' actions. Hamas doesn’t represent Palestinians any more than Israel represents Jews. Judaism is not equivalent to being pro-Israel. Opposing Israel's actions toward innocent civilians is not the same as supporting Hamas. What MD is doing is acting like it's just some necessary evil when all this does is breed more terrorism. As it has done over and over and over throughout all of human history.

I don't know why I bothered responding to MD when her solution to terrorism is terrorism. Bad habits die hard.

Also, nice to know @Geminiis pro-genocide and would prefer to play Ginguy 2.0 with the nutless reacts over putting up his own grotesque opinions. It's like you guys can't comprehend that opposing Hamas isn't the same as supporting the massacre of innocents.

You're saying the only reason civilians are being killed is because they're being used as shields, as if it's an inevitability. I gave an example of another human shield situation and now you're crying foul. It's not a stupid analogy just because it calls you out on your pro-genocide bullshit. And fuck off with the "Israel didn't kill anyone before 10/7" garbage. They've been killing Palestinians for ages, and you damn well know it, you lying sod.
