This is just capitalism, isn’t it?
Athletes and entertainers that make millions do so because people pay for it in large numbers. This is what capitalism wants and does.
I agree with your sentiment but I think you’re just critiquing capitalism. If I had my way these people would be taxed up the wazoo. No baseball player or Hollywood actor should ever be worth 10s of millions, let alone hundreds, or billions.
We have people with the mentality of spoiled school children leading the country.
China is not doing this out of kindness or altruism in any respects. They don’t care about people wanting to have kids. They’re doing it because they need more poor people to keep working and replenishing the poor workers, to prop up the elite class. Why can’t you see this?
Not isolated to China. Most western countries including the US have the same goals, it’s not altruistic.
Desperation?
People don’t want to have kids. I wonder why. Remember the laying flat movement and the 996 culture.
I wonder why.
If only there was an actual solution to this LOLOL…
Russia should completely denuclearize given the promise that nobody will ever invade in the future. We promise.

This is fun.
Trump praising a self described socialist. A Muslim socialist at that.
I can feel the power of the reeeeee screeching of the still devoted MAGA cultists. Hook it to my veins.

They won’t necessarily kill or exterminate us. They’ll just let us die.
Fuck. That. Shit.
Why bother living?
I just don’t care enough to “just be alive” if it’s all spent working to make someone else rich.
You thought that, because you’re stupid, Joe.
Because you’re stupid.
Religion/superstition is the cancer of our species.
I’ve been there before. I notice it when I develop a tolerance to caffeine and it doesn’t wake me up.
Depending on how much you take, your withdrawal might really suck major. If you can afford to lose a weekend or any 2 day consecutively, go cold turkey those 2 days. You’ll lose those days cause you’ll feel like absolute shit when the headache kicks in. But then on Monday go back to caffeine but only around half of what you usually do per day. You’ll feel amazing getting the caffeine again after the cold turkey weekend, and you’re tolerance should go down. This has worked for me in the past.
Or wean slowly. Whatever works for you.
Those 2 days suck though. I love caffeine…
Anecdotal, might not apply to you. I knew a guy like this, was a roommate for a while.
He had a similar issue. He said he would literally set an alarm clock in the opposite side of his room, so that he would have to get up and walk over to shut it off, hoping that would wake him up. According to him, in his sleep daze he would go shut the alarm off and go back to sleep, and not even remember doing it… Crazy.
Regardless, I noticed he drank tons of cheap diet soda. This contains caffeine. He’d drink around one or sometimes two 2-liters of this shit per day, from the afternoon after work, until late into the night, usually gaming.
I told him about the caffeine. He said it made sense, and that also “it might be why he had trouble falling asleep at night”… Fucking DUH.
Long story short. He tried cutting it out for about a week. Mentioned a minimal improvement in being able to wake up, but said he felt like shit the whole time, so went back to his old habit.
He probably felt like shit due to the cold turkey caffeine withdrawal, which I tried to point out. He went back to his old ways.
Anecdotal, but check your diet, caffeine intake and times of day, exercise, consistent sleeping patterns, etc. That’s my 2 cents.
Nah bro
Got the same message LOL, I was also one of the down voters.
Had no idea mods can see voting stats.
This mod is weird and creepy for the message alone, stalking down voters WTF? Obviously thin skinned and on a power trip.
The freedom of anyone being able to start their own instance, then get a load of the ones that own their own servers… Some will be assholes on a power trip. It’s bound to happen.
Just for watching movies.
Fuck.
If you automatically and by default call it slop, I’m going to assume your art is slop.
If you use AI as a tool to create art, then of course it’s art and you thought it up.
LLMs are just tools. It ain’t that complicated.
To me, it’s like saying cgi isn’t art because it takes away from using paint brushes or colored pencils or whatever. I don’t remember when computer graphics first started coming out, were people calling it CGI slop? Probably too long ago to know.
