sci-fi using "credits" as a universal currency: boring, unrealistic, no world-building sci-fi using meme-currency: inspired, realistic worldbuilding, you're invested in the exchange rate between Mars Corporation MuskBucks and dogecoin (standard currency of united earth order)

watched it's a wonderful life for the first time and it feels like the whole movie would have been better served if it abandoned its main premise entirely george spends the last 20 minutes running around like a terrified muppet and then the main conflict gets resolved on its own

@KeithChristma10 @slimyswampghost These models are trained off of thousands of images scraped off the internet with compensating or crediting the artists who made that source material. And that level of obfuscation is used to avoid copyright claims. I think its fair to call AI art–as it exists now–immoral.

george doesn't learn a lesson from seeing an alternative timeline, he's just scared and confused that people don't know his name. clarence: the reason you took 300 years to get wings is because any other angel would have just told George about the money.

it's also kind of weird that the big final conflict is this extremely material thing (Scrooge McDuck stole $8,000) and this terrible angel (who knows about the McDuck situation) is like "ok but this is what would have happened if you'd never been born."

Landlords need more accountability, especially during the lame duck period of a lease. Once the incentive to keep a tenant is gone, most of the landlords I've had have either stopped caring about how their actions affected us or have actively tried to screw us over. 1/12

When they decided to give us less than 24 hours of notice for an in-person tour, apologizing for the "inconvenience" (funny way 2 describe a plague) and stressing it was just because these folks were probably gonna sign so it'll only happen once. Absolutely livid.

"Don't worry, your feedback has been noted?" No, @Spotify and @SpotifyCares , my feedback *hasn't* been noted, or you'd have given me something at least a little more empathetic than saying "ok thanks" and essentially ending the conversation.
