Today I read the news.

…mentally and emotionally hurting counts too, right?

AI-generated art posted anywhere can bother me. It depends.

If the art comes with a post crediting the art and artists used to create the piece? I don’t mind them, even if the art isn’t to my taste. But more than often it’s not. And I do consider it stealing if the AI-generated art wasn’t pulling only from the person who was using the AI’s own art.

As most take from anywhere on the internet and attributes it to no one, I shall continue to block.

Sounds like you have a lot in common with my father’s reading tastes. In which case, I will recommend the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde.

I had not heard this one before, though I have looked into atonal music one time in the past. This is certainly the most unsettling piece I have ever heard and it is amazing. Thank you for sharing the link.

I’m not surprised. I forget when I looked up the research, but several hair typed definitely don’t need shampoo as much as people think they do. That we have another product (conditioner) yo undo the damage shampoo does to out hair is astounding.

As for the overall bathing thing, I agree. It depends on what you do day to day, your environment, and genetics. With all three of those factors, some people need to bath more often than others need to.

Most of my washing routine is actually for chronic pain. I don’t need to scrub for smell too much, but hot water feels good on pained areas.

That’s interesting. I never would have thought of this. I use two hands to button and never considered what side anything was on. Perhaps because I have both men’s and women’s shirts?

Sounds like a part of Imposter syndrome. “My problems aren’t that bad”, but if someone else had the same problems? You would recognize it as it is. Only when they are your problems do you decide you shouldn’t feel as bad about them.

As uncertain as I am about the technology, people already steal voices from voice actors, singers, and celebrities. At this point I’m just glad these artists gave their permission.

Beauty And Warrior. Bad animation, every young woman looked the same (the brothers too, but maybe they are twins?), bad voice acting, repeating the same bad ”going down the cavern” scene three times, and I still don’t know what anyone’s reason for doing anything was.

It is a hilarious movie to drop on people. Even after telling them how awful it is, everyone is always surprised.

@Roundcat I’ve noticed the same and think I know why it is. In Mastodon, you have to search through the hashtags. On Kbin, you just have to be subscribed to a magazine which automatically pulls in posts with the same hashtag. It’s easier to see things that way, especially if you have notifications on for the magazine.

They are just two different sorts of systems. Mastodon doesn’t automatically give you anything. You have to do the digging yourself.
