I’ve seen that roo in ever dive bar I’ve ever been to.

Maybe I’m just over-hopeful, but I think “generations” is far too much of an overunderstatement. With the way that technology moves, I don’t think we’ll be waiting that long.

If I have to pass a yearly exam to prove that I am not in some form of cognitive decline just to have the same rule apply to every other person, including politicians, then I’m all for it. Same goes for driver’s licenses. My grandmother, who is 91, just renewed last year. She told me over the phone, “This will probably be the last time I ever have to do that,” and I just thought, “I sure fucking hope so.” I’m not against older people doing what they want to do, but reality and safety have to come into play at some point. People break down as they age. I’m dealing with it now, and I will continue as I get older. I have no illusions about it. The feeling that you are entitled to whatever you want regardless of the safety of others is something that we as humans need to drop, or it’s gonna be the end of us, as evidenced by the current state of politics.

People that say that have never used AI art generation apps and are only regurgitating what they hear from other people who are doing the same. The amount of arm chair AI denialists is astronomical.

I’m getting really close to just not using the internet anymore. I only use it to stream movies, and doom scroll lemmy right now, anyway. The only reason I have an email is for spam. Take awake the only facade of privacy I have and I may as well hang it all up and walk away.

Let’s sprinkle song crack on him and get out of here.

Ahh, generalizations. The cornerstone of all civil discourse.

I’ve missed this meme.

Just to give a little bit more to the previous comment. If you go in with the right mentality, you may enjoy it more. The book isn’t character driven, it is a book of ideas. You have to be invested in the “world” and be curious about how things will play out on a very large scale. If you go in looking for a hero and a villain, you won’t really find one. What’s there is a concept and its execution. It’s a long form thought-problem, for better or worse. Personally, I love it, but if you don’t, then you dont.

That’s because the cover has at least a minor relation to the source material.

Use a test finger.

Lucca got a glow up.

Because that isn’t what it means. “Left” or “Liberal” means exactly this:

lib·er·al
adjective

1. willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one’s own; open to new ideas.
2. relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

Wanting to systematically change the status quo for the better is a matter of perspective. What is “for the better?” That is a moving target. A conservative can want the exact same thing, but the end goal is wholly different than that of a liberal. I’m not saying that you are wrong to want what you want, I’m just warning against conflating ideas, because that is a slippery slope, and you’ll find your own words turned against you very quickly.

Calling Liberalism “center-right”. Just because you are further left doesn’t mean that everyone else is further right of center now. Political definitions aren’t moving targets, they are what they have been since they were created. If you start shifting things one way or the other, then everything gets confused and people start to make wild claims like what the right has done with terms like antifa.

That third panel jump, tho.
