@shamrockkhk@beyoncegarden I think disregarding the intent of the communicator to balk at the specificity of their language is weak. I'm sure you can understand his point in saying this. If you disagree that black labor a crucial component of building America, that's the thing you'll have to disprove
@shamrockkhk@AnnPanel362@beyoncegarden I'm sure the exact language in the video is hyperbolic, but the point still stands—this country, at its conception, was highly dependent on black labor. To the extent, again, that we fought one of the costliest wars in US history over it
@u_m_a_m_i Clawfoot chair with an ikea stool and a featureless rock? Man this isn't figure drawing, this is still life with a naked guy mixed into the props
@dystopiangf Already is, a huge number of the <30s in the Chicago art scene are running around with flip phones and scoffing at social media in general. Warms my heart tbh. Being "chronically online" is going to be a boomer trait before you know it
@ItsTheTalia And even with redundancy, it's hard to imagine, if you aren't just looking for raw information, you won't get something unique from the massive variety of positions and voices offered on otherwise identical subject matter. Even textbooks have metatextual purviews and intentions
@ItsTheTalia In the hypothetical if we're assuming you're somehow reading all these books as you'd normally read a book, I can't imagine it being anything other than massively enlightening
If you Johnny 5 it and literally just burn through everything, maybe not?
It's not slop because of quality, it's slop because you pressed a button, poured it into a trough, and all the little internet piggies are gobbling it up. It's slop because it lacks substance.
You ever see how good they can make a Whopper look in a commercial? Still slop.
@u_m_a_m_i@KellyMorrisonMN I once got an MRI because I was a hypochondriac and thought I was dying due to some vision changes. Cost like a grand. I learned a year later that I was just stressed out and it was mildly affecting my vision. Shit is not hard to get done, especially if you're the president
@entropy_phi It's almost like they're sharing these pieces of the game because they're exceptionally weird spectacles in a sprawling masterpiece of a game that otherwise has nothing to do with this. It's almost like that.
@heliofractal Because they've been systematically programmed for years to activate defensively to certain ideals. It's gotten so pervasive that just calling yourself a girl has become an activating phrase
Philosophically, I doubt any one of them actually cares—legitimately just programming
