I literally worked down the street from blizzard and the price of housing is absurd. I was living paycheck to paycheck on 6 figures because a 1 bed apartment cost $3000

"Can we say that for sure that every AI was trained with stolen material?"
Yes. We literally can. Creators behind AI have said it would be impossible to train AI effectively without using unauthorized material.

Does Japanese law make a distinction between contractors and employees? I was under the impression none of the livers were actually employees, and were instead a type of independent contractor, which (in the US) mea s most labor protections don't apply.

I think The Acolyte trailer got people on the "Disney ruined Star Wars" train again, and TRoS was definitely the peak of "oops, we didn't finish the movie but the shareholders need a blockbuster"

that's probably it. The visuals and lyrics are steeped in US history of racism. He's cosplaying an extremely common historical racist caricature. The lyrics reference the need to film police violence. Lots to unpack in it, and multiple scholars have.

It was a confidential test that the IBA has not released the results for. The President of the IBA (which was removed from all Olympic roles due to massive corruption, bribery, and scandals) claimed the tests "proved" XY genetics - but again, the IBA refuses to provide evidence.

Hot Take: the Netflix ATLA exposition was a stylistic choice, not an oversight. It came off to me like a lot of Asian films - just saying the important parts out loud. I felt like I was watching a really well-synced dub at times (I still didn't like it tho)

Whittier would about an hour commute for me. I did make the personal choice to live less than 30 minutes from work. But I'm actually moving in with a roommate now anyway.
Still, rent in Irvine is about $3k for a 600 ft 1b/1b.
Almost made it through offkai without crying, like a grown up, but then this silly little shirt jump scares my feels and I'm having a quick ugly cry in my car

Imagine using this for any other marginalized community. "Let this be a lesson to the black community: NEVER let your protests turn to looting. Now black people look bad."

Kind of wish I hadn't seen your description before reading this. She has an entrancing charm to her. The dark parts that peak through her sweet, optimistic narration are so subtle, I questioned whether I read your description right. I didn't believe it. Feels like a spoiler.

This is what you're missing. People on the right are claiming the left is getting mad about "nothing" while ignoring posts like this.
No one is offended that a trans person voiced a horror character. People on the right made that up, and people like you seem too eager to

She says she was never allowed to do anything fun so I let her dance on the chair for the picture and get the mac and cheese off the kids menu even though she's technically too old.

I feel like there's gaping chasm between "allowing creative control of their own project" and "trying to erase the version you released 15 years ago from existence".

I feel like we need more than one problematic joke to declare someone a "raging" racist. Did she fuck up? Absolutely. But she's not exactly dog whistling proud boys here.

Can we not today? They're in character handling what they can. Unless someone comes out and says what's behind the scenes, y'all are just drama farming over shit you made up yourselves.

This is all you get. It was super windy and she was lowkey freaked out because apparently she doesn't know what the ocean is?
Hadn't even left offkai yet before our first father-daughter bonding experience. We got to help these fine young gentleman jumpstart their car (only took 3 tries!) Godspeed fellas
Last one of Father-Daughter road trip. Didn't have any more stops planned, but the sunset view just kinda demanded a quick photo. I told her to say cheese but she said "skibidi toilet" or something (I'm not a doctor).
Offkai was a hell of a trip. Now comes the hard part.

tfw offkai day 4 and 5 were just sleeping off the fever and delirium in a cheap motel until I was well enough could drive home. Just got home at 10 PM Tuesday night.
Excuse me while I curl up in bed and feel everything from the last 5 days 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Does anyone have tips for coming up with visuals for vtuber character designs? I've got a couple pages of character flavor, lore, art ideas, but visually I'm stuck at "sci-fi twink showing midriff". My mood board is just Till from Alien Stage and a bunch of yaoi.
Still haven't made it home from offkai for REASONS but here's some "I don't wanna leave yet so imma take selfies with the last stray cutouts" from Sunday night
so last night in vc I hear "aaaahhhh so cute" and we were like "wut" and bro was like "nothing" and wouldn't tell us anything. And then this pops up 6 hours later.

thinking of getting rid of my beard, but i just realized running my hands through the beard has become my stim and i'm afraid if i shave i'll become a chin stroker
I still remember telling someone in 2011 "one day teenagers will listen to My Chemical Romance the way we listen to Queen" and he got so upset.
I hope you're still upset, Brad.
@jeffbrutlag
It seemed pretty clear to me. He says "your game is so gay", which no one says anymore, as a queer person, to a crowd of creators who know him. He harps on "buff bottle rockets" while meme clips of American Psycho play in the background. Y'all clutching your pearls so tightly
@keyokku
ngl, this was my experience coming TO twitter. I had a ~1k Facebook page that grew pretty steadily, and I was surprised moving to Twitter that it felt like nothing gained traction. I think no matter the platform, you just need SOMETHING to get you off the ground.

I'm trying to point out how dehumanizing and disrespectful you're being. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear, but I hope you understand how bizarre it is to be disrespected and then chastised by th a t same person about respect.
@Kafka_Twigs
I get it tbh. If you're doing it right, academic essays are basically just twitter discourse with actual standards. Do research, make your point, prove someone wrong. I switched from English to Engineering and I still miss "talk about it" work vs "solve the problem" work.
@BuiChuba
have u tried promoting discussion with engaging prompts like "what's your favorite yaoi" or "is it gay for a boy to kiss another boy on the mouth"
