It’s like an ornithopter but more insectoid. Love it! Great work and some nice colors from it.

Looks like something from Mouse Guard

Cause if a lawyer tells the RCMP it’s okay, they believe them. The authorities want permission to hurt others, with little to no moral or ethical regard for who they hurt, and hearing it’s okay to do as they please is enough. It’s like letting a dog off leash to attack.

Children aren’t stupid, adults are inconsiderate to how a child functions.

A child is a little person who, just like adults, understands concepts like good, bad, freedom, imprisonment, hungry, tired, etc. the problem is that children are not given a document that speaks their language, the words we use with kids is radically different from daily life. And when a kid uses a grown up word or phrase, we don’t compliment them on their defr use of language - we interrogate them with “where did you learn that” or “who told you that”. Imagine if we just did something incredible, like publish a phD dissertation and instead of celebration you were grilled with question that might get you in trouble. Or, at best, the adult is happy that the word was used but ignores or doesn’t bring it up again? All that work from the kid and they get nothing for it but more work. So why tell an adult at all? Why show off their ability to learn if it gives them nothing?

Adults also use big words for no good reason. They are oblivious to the fact that kids didn’t get 12 years of vocab, reinforced through tests and essays. If adults used simpler words, it would not only solve the communication gap between kids and adults, it would encourage a more clear understanding of what words mean to adults. Calling something egregious is fine but saying “for no reason” means the same thing. Adults do not use words that they teach to children, so ultimately kids view adults as using some crazy legalese or second language to talk to each other and make arrangements.

Clean up the language and celebrate kids as people who are always learning, and they will be happy to communicate to you and with you. That’s how we, as adults, can use our experience to help protect kids with their own input. It’s how kids are taught to be wary of adults - strange danger is out and communication is now key. Talking with grown ups they know to confirm what they are being asked helps make kids who aren’t scared of new things. In fact, they will happily embrace the new stuff as long as they know what to expect.

The wall art is fun to examine. AI is getting better at generating pictures inside of pictures.

Blame a global trend toward neoliberal economics, which uses financial incentives to form right wing leaning governments. Once something starts trending towards authoritarianism, it’s just a matter of time before the irrationality cascade turns it into a militant government and ultimately into fascism.

So many people are afraid of communal wealth, of socialist ideas, that they would rather plunge the world into a fiery out of suffering to avoid losing wealth in their own life.

Jeremy Corbyn > Kier Starmer

It’s weird how ardently you defend Facebook. This post and one earlier where you insinuated Proton Mail is liable for libel is something a Meta employee would say to dissuade this kind of thinking. But the fact is the researcher, Kraus, confirmed that the logging script is present. Meta maliciously spies.

What if we want democracy but nothing to do with Liberalism? Let’s work towards a more progressive, humanity focused social agenda. Let’s make people happy again.

I use this Lora for jewelery and other minor details. It helps close the loops and creates fuller jewels.

“It wasn’t the Kermit we knew but he was the Kermit we loved. He wanted more and he kept talking about his friend Pablo. Next thing we heard is Kermit got picked up in Colombia with a kilo where a hand should be.”

Someone get Al Gore on the phone!

That’s the soundtrack

Only AI could imagine him running.

How DARE you impugn Mexican Pizza!

Clever girl

Moments later the tidal forces of so many celestial bodies ripped Earth apart.

It makes sense when viewed as the actions of an immature child.

“It’s mine and if I can’t have it then no one can.”

It’s not based on logic, it’s entirely based on their own perception of greed and the requirements for fulfillment.
