What’s the image source? I love this style

Can validate. It’s still me.

I really never should have opened this thread, but hard agree. I’m doing the small bit I can to help out and I only have that energy because I (mostly) stopped clicking on news and aggressively curated my online experience to be free of politics or depressing news. It’s easier to fight the good fight when you are not constantly being shown 28483838 bad things and 28483838 fights to fight. Even without algorithms that want to maximize engagement and that thus maximize outrage, human nature tends to focus on the bad and engage with outraging things (which is why A Bad Thing Happened constantly dominates Technology feeds instead of spiels about this or that tech advancement). If seeing all this paralyzes you into despair and/or doomscrolling like it paralyzes me, you have to actively try to work against that tendency or just try to avoid getting shown outrage in the first place.

I appreciate you trying to help but people here, admittedly including myself, really do not appreciate “and here’s the output of an LLM!” If we’re pro-AI we can just get it ourselves, and most people on the Threadiverse including me are anti-AI. I think people on the Threadiverse are looking more for human input, and feel just feeding everything to an AI is kind of opposite to the interaction and human perspectives we want.

SEL = SocioEmotional Learning?

I’m happy to hear that, always good news

for those who immediately wondered the same thing I did after seeing the meme:

1 Kilometer = 0.6214 Mile 1 Mile = 1.6093 Kilometer

I’ve known pretty people who were mean and pretty people who were nice; average-looking people who were mean and average-looking people who were nice; ugly people who were mean and ugly people who were nice. The world’s more than 2000s high school movies with the fashionable feminine girl always being a villainous bitch intent on relational aggression (nevermind how the outcast tomboy protagonist is also attractive).

I wonder how many non-ironic clowns still work, and if audiences find joy in their performances.

I’ve been on both sides of that equation before!

If I find a particular piece of media upsetting I just quickly move on and do not look again.

But there is some media I engage with that I was disappointed by, but care about (whether because I enjoyed it by itself, or because it’s the sequel to something else I liked). I’m invested, so I bother to complain instead of just walking away.

And it’s a lot easier to complain, and to latch onto other fans’ complaints, than to properly explain why I liked what I liked besides a quick “well this was nice”. I just don’t have enough knowledge to write 3 paragraphs on how they did it and why it works, only enough to say “I really liked X.” In my opinion and experience, it takes more knowledge to write a lot about the success of something beyond “wow this succeeded!” than it does to write about the failure of something and your quick guess on what went wrong.

Thanks to you and @[email protected], fixed

Thanks, fixed to be Wake Up Sheeple!

Yeah, as someone who does not recognize this format it read as just a regular political meme (the stuff I enjoy seeing turn out to be not political on this sub, really not here for any actual political content even though I agree with this post). Hope this stays antimemes and not a “libs” “conservatives” political place where people try to dunk on each other with pictures; otherwise I might have to spin up my own version with hookers and blackjack

Looking into making my own NAS, where’d you get these?

These are so adorable. Good job, brightened my day to see this on my feed.
