We as an entire country should honest to god get wiped out by the rest of the world. Earth would be a better place if every man woman and child in this rotten country were dead.

I've gotten pretty good at compartmentalizing. Even if I think management does some profoundly stupid things, I'm just there to do a job and collect a paycheck. As long as they don't run the company into the ground, it's not my problem.

They're not even really using the ai correctly. If you really absolutely must use ai, there is a way to do it without ripping people off, harming artists, or being a petulant jackass on the internet.

Draw something. Draw something, upload it to your precious ai, "ok llm, here is what I can draw at my current level, tell me what I need to work on and give me exercises I can do to improve."

Boom. You can actually become a better artist, still use your precious ai, not hurt anyone, and actually develop a skill, and improve your life without a single artist getting harmed or a single person getting ripped off.

If sound could travel through space, from the distance we are to it, the sun would be as loud as a jackhammer everywhere on the planet, all the time.

This is massively over-generalized. I'm sure some people on the spectrum do this. I don't talk to a lot of people, I am very reclusive, so I couldn't give you an actual irl baseline from experience, but I'm on the spectrum. I have a job with plenty of rules I don't think make any sense. I have a vested interest in keeping my job, so I follow the rules. One of my coworkers has been in the same job for over a decade, and she is quite proficient at following rules she personally doesn't like or understand. She wouldn't have a job here if she didn't.

They're probably not saying that because they are too busy asking the far more important question of "If Ai takes all the jobs, how can I afford to feed and shelter the family and children I love"

You do understand why people work right? Very few people work just for funsies. They work so they can afford to eat, pay rent, pay for utilities, and be able to afford essentials like clothing, health insurance, transportation.

Almost everything we need to actually live and function costs money. You primarily get money by having a job. So if someone gets laid off, they're probably very busy trying to find another source of income so they can actually keep their children alive and healthy.

You have clearly never had a bj from someone who actually knows what they're doing. Totally understandable to have this opinion if that's the case, how can you know what fine dining is if all you ever get served is junk food.

You would be surprised. Dandelion for example is a plant that thrives in cities, is entirely edible, and you can roast it's taproot into a delicious coffee substitute.

I started out with dandelion actually. I made a whole plant tea out of it heat dried. It entirely transformed the plant into something that smelled delicious, almost this floral toasted honey smell.

Just don't take from places where a lot of pets get walked, right next to roads, or sprayed. Wash everything and anything you take home throughly, and research research research before you start picking.

Foraging. It costs almost nothing to learn about the plants that grow around you and what you can do with them. I've been doing it for about 5 years now, and spent maybe $80 on a good hori hori and $40 on a good mortar and pestle when I wanted to get serious. Neither of those are necessary to forage. A good field guide is something you can order at your local library. The main cost is time studying at home and on the field.

Here's some amazing pesto I made with wild mustard garlic greens.

And the before picture

I can not recommend the hobby enough. I'm happy to try and answer any questions you might have.

Sue her for false advertisement. That's not everything. She cheated him. That's just one small planet, we have way bigger ones right in our system to eat.
