Rice is literally one of the easiest things to cook on the planet.

We probably don’t use rice for shipping because if it did get wet it would get moldy, unlike sciatica. Doesn’t mean it isn’t effective.

I trust Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader over Google any day

I’ve got ND of various types and NT people in my immediate family and friend group, and those gaps in communication styles can be bridged, but only if hands are extended from both sides. You know, like solving any communication issue.

I think one of the things that is frustrating is when there’s people who are on one side of the gap dismissing the other and assuming that because they are friends, they must be on the same side. “Oh you don’t have autism you don’t act autistic, I’m not and would somehow know” and, more commonly in my experience, “oh you are friends with me, an autistic person, so you must be autistic”. (Replace autism with ADHD or any ND condition in either example).

I feel that either way it’s dismissive of someone’s personal experience and diagnosis, and dismissive of the person overall.

So yeah when I saw something that was implying that you’ve gotta have X if you’re friends with people who have X, it set me off.

Helm of Invincibility: you are invincible, but only to people who have Vince in their name, e.g. Vince, Vincent, some other name with Vince

Man that’s another level of “people who know”

You think you can just give someone neutodivergence?

Cool, so you can’t be friends with people that are neurotypical and we gotta lean into the tribalism.

Edit: sorry, was in a bad mood and acted in impulse when I wrote this, I just sometimes am tired of prior in my life who have said that neurotypical and neurodivergent people can’t mix and other crap over seen all over the place and this set me off.

Your example is shit. It would be more appropriate for when you commission a piece of work from someone, where they are using their skills and choices and you’re telling them what you want and don’t want on the sandwich.

AI doesn’t make choices when creating an image. It generates an image based off of other images and you hope that it gets something that follows some aesthetic principles that it’s lifting from other images. Just because you reroll the die doesn’t mean you’re choosing shit.

That “menial” process when you’re making art is literally the best part. When you’re painting a sky for the background of something you don’t want that just filled in, that’s where you can experiment and maybe even add an element that you weren’t thinking of before when you started the piece. AI can’t do that for you.

Way to shit on everyone who’s job it is to make those things.

Why do you think logos and so on have no artistic value? What defines value? Because if it’s influencing people and culture, then logos definitely do.

Corporate art sucks ass but it’s still made using choices, which ai doesn’t do.

Well I’m not going to slap you on the back and praise you for saying the equivalent of “I just eat potato chips anyway I don’t care if the new chips are made of styrofoam they still got flavor blasted”.

Also, I totally disagree with you. If I see a neat picture someone took from getting dropped onto earth from low orbit, I’m gonna think that’s way cooler than an ai image trying to emulate the same thing, even if I’m only looking at it for a second. I’m going to think a crudely drawn parody of a meme is funnier than an ai generated imitation of a meme, even if all I’m doing is making that little exhale with the nose instead of laughing.

There’s a difference. You can tell. If you’re so Internet addled you genuinely are saying you don’t think there’s a difference, then you’ve got like, negative skills in art appreciation.

If you think that it was an insult then that shows what shame you have for your lack of skill, not an intention on my part.

That’s like saying you cooked a chicken sandwich because you ordered it off the menu.

I was going to read this but stopped halfway through because my mind went “yeah that yeah another person who never bothered trying to draw having a hot take that’s just sucking off a tech bro”

The most generic logo from ten years ago still was made with choices by a designer. It’s those choices that make a difference, you don’t choose how things are executed with ai

Sounds like you’re not very skilled at art appreciation.

Exactly one song is cool, the other parts are… Eh.

Aw, angry piss baby mad that someone’s trying even a little? Piss baby wanna be mean? Say it’s not doing anything even though piss baby does less?

Piss baby doesn’t like people trying a little? Doing a small thing to try to not be shit? Piss baby angry about people trying a little? Don’t bother doing anything unless it fixes everything at once for piss baby?

Atomic Heart was an absolute slog. Most of the enemies are the generic dummy from Spirit Halloween, the story gets rushed into 40 minutes of cutscenes at the end, it was a drag getting there and the main character is written like he’s trying to impress 13 year olds with swears. Even has a stupid catch phrase and hates his glove for no reason. “Hey there I’m Charles I’m here to help you out and give you super powers!” “FUCK YOU CHARLES I HATE YOU AND HOPE YOU DIE YOU ANNOYING PIECE OF SHIT”

Also I guess the devs support what Russia is doing to the Ukraine so don’t give them money.

I said in a comment “hey why not universal healthcare and also ubi” and this nutcase yelled at me for over a week about it. I wasn’t going to bother with defending the idea since I was just asking “why not” and they were calling me lazy, entitled, and stupid.
