That part was fine, that’s not what I’m talking about; you’re just rejecting the other person’s claims.
It’s this part: “Polyamory can be difficult to do”, sure, but “polyamory is difficult to do ethically” is much harder to defend because it puts you in an anti-polyamory position. Now you’re talking about whether it’s morally justifiable instead of, simply, the reasons why it’s so uncommon.
If you look at IAmNorReal’s next reply, it reads as if they’re defending polyamory generally, and that’s because they are. There’s no reason to talk about how friendships can be complicated too unless they’re trying to defend the concept of polyamory in its entirety. In other words, the two of you end up walking away from the initial conversation and into an entirely different one.
Anyway, I’m sorry for interjecting. I promise I’m not trying to bully you or lecture. I gotta go make dinner.

Okay, this is just a rhetoric critique:
You gotta stop using the word ethically here, haha. Whether something works out or not isn’t an ethics problem, and so is of course the very first thing IAmNorReal latches onto.
Just to be clear, I do agree with you. More people does get more complicated.

In this particular case, he has no audience except a banana and a time traveler, so you could also just ignore him. Nothing worse for him than a day of nothing happening.

Do you think the sat/blue sun/red thing comes from calendars? I don’t think about it often, but I do think there is a “redness” to sunday.

You know what fucks me up is that 21 has a “nine-ness” quality to it now that sometimes makes me mess up real math.

this was a good and interesting article.
I thoroughly disagree with this. It’s arguments are all over the place and never substantiated. It is AI, though, so ah~
- Comment on Save me from going down a dark path 1 week ago:
It’s like when people need the threat of eternal damnation in order to not be a complete piece of shit.
Outside of the obvious religious propaganda, this is just an external motivation. It could just as easily be somebody’s family: an ailing mother for whom they need to be ready to take care of, or a spouse and children for whom throwing their life away would be tragic.
I could say the reason I’m a humanitarian now is because I have a firm belief in happiness. If I lost that today, I probably wouldn’t change, but if I never had it, I have no idea if I ever would have gotten here.
If someone is in a bad place now and does not have an external motivation, I’m not saying it should be this or that, but it would make sense to give them one.
I mean, I do think AA is being coercive. I would prefer that they helped their… patients(?) find a motivation that was already meaningful to them instead of just imposing Christianity onto them. I have a lot of other problems with religion besides.

I don’t know who told you that, but pussy is absolutely not zero calories.
This is something that will bite you in the ass once you turn 40, and believe me, you’ll be wishing you’d had some sense when you were younger. I nearly ruined my life, but the diet I’ve been on since 2050 has probably saved it—the results do speak for themselves. I will admit to some non-alcoholic kinds being okay. Even so, always remember your guiding principles: Pussy is the enemy of the gym, bro. Avoid it at all costs.

If AI content were more honest about itself, i.e. that you could tell at glance which was what, it wouldn’t bother me nearly as much as it does. Most of the destructive power AI has is because it’s so hard to tell.
There was some charm to Dall-e or whatever, even if it was a bad omen.

Marcel Duchamp is not working on video games.
Marcel Duchamp does fit my definition.I’m certainly more interested in his work than yours.

Okay, well if you’re going to be like that, I’ll talk to someone else:
An artists job is to pull together research, resources, history, knowledge, opinions, their own fluency in the language of the medium they’re using, and a bit of inspiration, and turn that into something interesting, or cool, or flashy, or thought provoking.
AI generation, even for the concept phase, skips 90% of that effort.
You can’t fabricate something with AI and then re-make it by hand later because these are two halves of the same process. By the time the hands are involved, there is very little left for them to do.

You don’t see the use in an artist viewing an approximation of the finished product
I don’t because that’s not what artists do.
Artists are not people who bring nearly finished projects over the finish line. And if your finished project does not look anything like your nearly-finished AI assets, what are you actually using them for?

It’s called Dad’s Big Balls: A Bowling Story about a professional bowler and estranged father who wakes up one day with tragically tiny hands and is forced to fight his ex-wife for custody of his children in a bowling tournament while also being able to use only child-sized bowling balls.
I’m reading When They Cry, currently towards the end of Umineko, and for a series that features a character who self-describes as an intellectual rapist, it is surprisingly compassionate, almost religiously so.

Fuck! You’re right
- Comment on You can just do stuff. 2 weeks ago:
Wow, this is really poetic.
It might be because I’m already reading something that’s ultimately about trusting other people and fermenting a strong belief in human kindness and compassion, but this is really doing something to me.

How is it Mean Girls-esque if they think they’re being nice?
Anyway, no, I’ve seen your other comments, you clearly have a bone to pick here. Honestly, it’s funny that you’re the one telling me about being the rudeness police.
I’m sure Katana is old enough to handle whatever problem may be here on their own.

Okay, what you’re describing is identical to everyone’s proverbial grandpa claiming that the gay man in front of him is dressed flamboyantly “just for attention.” I don’t believe that being a young, hot, American woman who is ‘based’ is worthy of pointing out. As far as I’m concerned, it’s immaterial.

You immediately know what type of person that user is trying to portray
What kind of person would that be?
I’m not asking as a personal attack, by the way; I am aware you don’t care that she’s horny.

Posting a news article is foundationally tied to which articles you’ve seen and which you find interesting.
It’s really besides the point, though. Violet being horny is no more notable than me being very loudly anti AI.

Okay, real question, think about this from my perspective for a second:
Why would I give a shit about anything you have to say after hearing something like this?
As a matter of strategy, a very good phrase, I don’t take opinions from people who are societally suicidal.
When I talk about bolstering and reinforcing a strong community, perspectives like yours are exactly the kind I’m talking about pruning. Society cannot suffer your intellectual poison. If you want to die, do it on your own terms.
My only expectation of you is that you will live, and that living means something to you. The only thing you can do is disappoint me.
And also, don’t film people who don’t want to be filmed unless they’re cops.
