Ambition and pride is what brought me to this point where I can’t take responsibilities anymore.

Drawing your self worth too much out of getting shit done leads to burnouts. Take care of yourself. Take a nap. It’s OK.

It’s still silly. But enjoyable from time to time.

In this specific discussion you and I are having right now.

You are also showing in your other answers that you are not about having an honest discussion.

And since you are again derailing, I’m gonna stop answering now.

You blew a sidenote out of proportion. That’s what happened. My original and repeatedly stated main point was the normalization of AI slob.

Ah, fuck off. I doubt you actually ever were interested.

But that’s the nerdy exception, not the rule.

Also, that’s not my main argument. Stop derailing, please.

It still eats the power of a small town to generate this image. Also, it isn’t even the actual template for this meme. And again, it normalizes AI imagery. Normalizing works by exposing someone to supposedly harmless examples of thing until you don’t even care anymore seeing the actually harmful examples of thing because you don’t even realize something’s off.

I am quite irritated. Your wording seems to be indicating you’re aware of the problems with “AI” generated images but you don’t care in this instance because this is just about a dumb meme. Do I get that right?

Look at the up and downvotes. We do.

Because it still normalizes this kind of content.

Go and troll somewhere else, kid.

You act like the sun […] does something other than give you cancer.

Have you ever heard about vitamin d (no dick jokes, I dare you!)?

Also, how the hell do you enjoy outside at like 50c/112f?

You live in the wrong region, my friend.

That doesn’t mean that I have to love each season equally or that my depression magically goes away.

Better than winter depression. Better than recognizing it’s getting dark, wondering where the day has gone but it’s only 16:30. Better than waking up in the darkness and realising it’s still two or three hours till sunrise. Better than going to work before the sun rises and getting home after it sets, only seeing the sun like an image, a distant promise when looking out the window at work.

Who stopped?

Beautiful.

Yikes. AI slob.

Aside the basic capitalist shit like premium prices for low quality products?

Other companies make products and sell the, and to do that sustainable they have to sell stuff for money. They sometimes also have to protect their trademark with copyright laws and such.

Lego however goes beyond that. Lego has in the past abused copyright and trademark law to bully smaller competitors, for example sue competitors for selling minifigures that do not look similar to Lego’s own, then had the german customs authority seize shipments to a store because that store has products by those competitors in stock even though the competitors already took out the minifigures for the european market. Also, Lego sued another, tiny store over it’s logo, because that store’s logo contained a brick (but was completely dissimilar to Lego’s own logo). And Lego always tries to publicly justify such behavior with ‘concerns for customers’ safety’ while buying their parts from the same Chinese factories as most of their competitors.

I find that unethical enough to label them evil and not buy new Lego for my niece’s presents.

There already was brickbuild Star Trek stuff by Bluebrixx and it was better than any licensed stuff from Lego. Unfortunately, Lego apparently made a better offer in the last negotiations.

Fuck Lego (the company. It’s evil).
