A lot of people agree with you. In fact, so many agree with you that a lot of people in firm red and blue states didn't bother voting. Because of that, Trump won the popular vote, and people said it wasn't the electoral college's fault that he won. But it was. The electoral college made people like you lose hope that you could have an impact.

If more people like you had voted, then Kamala would have won the popular vote. If Trump had won without the popular vote twice, it would be obvious to the layperson than the electoral college needs to go. We'd have much more fuel for a popular revolution to dismantle the electoral college. Right now, people are hopeless. They think most Americans want Trump. Because of people who thought like you.

Bytemeister didn't say they don't have to do any direct action. You made that up out of nothing.

You have to do both. That's what Bytemeister is saying. If you didn't vote, and you're not actively in rebellion, then claiming you're the side who does direct action is an obvious lie. And they're right, you are lying. You're tanking our chances of overthrowing the government through revolution.

Choosing not to vote doesn't make you not a centrist.

Good news for you, voting only takes one day.

On a tour of Mr Wonka's chocolate factory, a little girl is shown Wonka's experimental gum and has some. It turns her purple and makes her swell like a blueberry. Vance did the same thing.

The fact that the Shire is a paradise is exactly why Frodo couldn't stay. The people there could never understand what he had been through. The horrors of war, the hardship he endured.

Humanity is too ignorant to recognise bad AI art on sight, every time. The trends are only easy to see in mass aggregate. That's why individual action can't stop it. We need aggregate action. We need to ban AI art.

Oh, they can make something useful. I can watch Flunky make images with two very different checkpoints, and they have the same artistic style. And the breasts are enormous and heaving. It's good for gooning to.

I just don't believe we should have to put up with 99 average AI art users for every Highborn Flunky. I'm willing to give up gooning to Flunky pieces if it means I don't have to see those awful sepia comics with the dot eyes on Lemmy.

And I'm concerned by men like Sam Altman and Elon Musk. I'm concerned by the energy cost of training, the economic costs to artists, and the effect on average people's creativity. I would be willing to ban AI art in order to solve those issues. If 99% of humans can't be responsible with the technology, then we shouldn't have it. I feel the same way about automobiles, nuclear bombs, tanks, and plastic packaging.

Using the wrong engine cleaning solvent is a terrible sin and he's being punished for his hubris

Well that's how it works in Larry Niven's Ringworld and also Halo. They just thought the earth was a ring.

That's because House is a poser fan of the guy with the moustache
