I have problems with so-called "AI" image generators at every level. Economic, ecological, functional, artistic, and moral.

Do you want an essay or just the bullet points?

I want smaller games with worse graphics made by people who get paid a living wage to work reasonable hours and I'm not kidding.

Uhh, wtf?

The new app isn't finished, there's no way to refresh mailboxes and RSS feeds other than restarting it.

How on earth did they decide this was good enough?

Apparently, realistic descriptions of the American voting process are now "edgy" and contrapositive arguments are "pointless". XD

I presume this is intended to be an insult, but you're gonna have to explain that one. XD

Voters don't even have opinions, they just pick between the genocidal geriatrics chosen by the real owners of this country and then shut up for four years.

Rent a seedbox in a friendly jurisdiction. Use it to torrent, download your media to local storage, watch at your leisure even if the internet is out. Fuck streaming.

Keeping new versions of Windows secure is a fool's errand. Sure you can uninstall the bloatware, disable the telemetry, etc., but there's nothing to keep Windows from using an update to put it right back on.

If you want your Ma' to not have to worry about any of that, then it's time to switch to Linux. Mint is a good variety for people coming from Windows.

"A concept that can be defined scientifically"

Yeah, sure. It's totally scientific. That's why we were diagnosing people with "female histeria" and perscribing them medical orgasms as recently as WW2.

"Sanity" is about as scientific a definition as "weeds", which isn't strictly defined and describes any plants that grow in a place where a human doesn't want them to. Likewise, sanity is "the abilty to think and behave in a normal manner", with "normal" left for outside observers to define.

"outside of the context of our society."

Nope, you need the context of a society to define the "normal" bounds of sanity.

Just because you don't like the truth doesn't mean you don't have unexamimed assumptions clouding your judgement.

Yes, actually.

As a cultural practice, Marriage is a tradition that exploits the human desire for affection to coerce people into fixed, state-authorized relationships for the express purpose of reproducing the nuclear family unit.
