  Hey cool. You make all the calculations you want. As long as you’re supporting creators then that’s all that matters. I reiterate, there are people who take great personal offense to having to pay money for anything and you don’t appear to be one of them.

  That doesn’t change the fact that artists and creatives have no other outlet than to be beholden by their platform. Unless you’re going and buying hatsune miku prints at your farmers market, unethucal consumption under captitalism also means trying to find out how to provide for the staff who still contribute to meaningful art, even if that is the set designer for an Avengers slop movie.

  I had this sort of sympathy until I saw how openly hostile people were in their open jealousy over talented people. I kept running into these people for years who were just so angry at the fact that they had to pay someone for their time and talent.

  This gets to be a little offshooty for other things I tend to have less popular opinions on, but it’s the same people who feel that piracy should be the norm. No art, performance, or entertainment should be allowed to compel payment and it should all be free. This includes people who absolutely froth about advertisments on their Youtube videos. Granted 5 ads in a row is ridiculous but peraonally I want my artists and performers to be paid egregiously and I will suffer some small inconveniences to make sure they ateast get something from me.

  But I think the venn diagram of people who are obsessed with AI and the people who just take offense to having to spend money on anything is a pretty tight one.

  I mean I’m not an expert but financial regulation and a functioning FTC. Being completely real I only have keywords here and no working knowledge of the links but Mamdani is already Taxing second homes that are being unused and kept as financial assets in NY which is something I feel should be modeled elsewhere. The faircloth amendment should be repealed and public housing destigmafied. And air BnB and interstate rental firms (or just any blanket asset management firms like Blackrock while we’re at it)should be abolished. Those are my big general takeaways.

  My basic understanding is the reason we have housing as a speculative asset is the same as everything else that’s been getting exponentially shitty over the past 20 years, “if it exists and isn’t generating money then what’s the point of it”. Housing especially was always seen as an appreciative asset, but maybe if barely supposed to match inflation rates, so you could say any money you put into equity would always carry value into present day, but some people took that to mean"I should be able to die and be buried in a gold coffin because something about compound interest" and there were a lot of financiers who took advantage to this leadded gasoline fueled delusion.

  Anyway that’s my two cents.

  I think the most upsetting part of AI is discovering how many people were so ready for it, like they were just waiting for something to show up that they could offload their lack of creativity or responsibility onto.

  I instantly lost friends because the first thing out of their mouth was ‘thank God I never have to pay anyone to commission art ever again and the little guy has access to good OC art.’

  These peolle were not functioning before AI.

  I like this idea that The Young Turks exists as a vehicle for Hasan almost exclusively.

  This ignores the year(s) where he streamed games to an audience of 30 people after he quit TYT.

  And to be clear, your standards are referring to a normal house as a mansion. Capitalism has robbed you of being able to imagine even normal things as anything but unreachable Luxury. And your weird sense of Socialism has convinced you that poverty is the only virtue that proves your Convictions. Both of these things are lies you’ve swallowed from a class of people who are waiting for you to pass out in their warehouse and die so they can stop hearing your whining.

  Find the proof he zapped his dog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s funny is that his house has actually been leaked and it’s not a mansion so much a product of insane runaway housing costs making relatively simple houses insanely expensive in specific locations.

  Raise your standards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨onions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh. Yeah I have kind of a three strikes thing. I can eat something with onion powder once, but if I do it again withing a couple days it starts fucking me up.

  I got officially tested as a teen. I’m also allergic to corn and apples, which are two other incredibly overused food additive bases. I actually didn’t even really feel any effects until my 20’s wgere all pf a sudden I was in an Emergency room in incredible pain. It took taking the allergies seriously to clear it up because otherwise there was apparently no other explaination for why I felt like I was turning inside out every few days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨onions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanna know where you shop. I still have to run the gamut of ‘I’m allergic to onions’, ‘does that include green onions?’ ‘…yes.’ among other key signifiera that people don’t really think about what an onion is normally.

  I really miss garlic.

  Dwarf Fortress is a boss fight of video games unto itself.

  I like how you very much ignored my last paragraph to make you other points when I directly addressed them both there.

  Keep your fingers in your ears and lalala loudly through life.

  Genuinely don’t care. The world sucks. I bought the Switch 2 at launvh and knew our dipshit president and the fuckass tech oligarchy were going to drive the price up but I wantes it anyway for needlessly sentimental reasons.

  I really think people are just angry they can’t point their rage at the power structures that caused this so they want to do it through consummerism, but the reality is you have less power there than you do politically. If you are shocked and offended that you don’t get your tariff money back then I’m sorry but you were always the sucker here.
