“The Fleshsmith”
At this point….
If you’re not bringing your ideas to life, no matter how weird or far fetched they are…
You only have yourself to blame.
Made this live on stream with the chat last night.
Appreciate everyone!
The UK just admitted it has no free speech
A group of pro-freedom lawyers published a comprehensive Free Speech Bill recently - their opening line says everything:
"The United Kingdom does not have free speech, not in any sense that an American would recognize"
The bill aims to gut decades of draconian censorship laws that have turned Britain into a speech police state
People in the UK have been arrested for:
→ Posting "offensive" lyrics on social media
→ Silent prayer near abortion clinics
→ Jokes that offended the wrong person
→ Retweeting memes the government didn't like
Meanwhile in America, the Biden-era censorship infrastructure is being dismantled state by state
Free speech is not a suggestion. It's the foundation of everything
And if the UK needs a "First Amendment for Britons" …..maybe they should ask themselves how they lost it in the first place
Serious question.
For the last 10 years, society told everyone "just learn to code" to escape the middle class.
Now Claude writes the code.
What exactly is the career advice for an 18-year-old right now?
@AOIKEN72 "try before you buy". The bigger issue is the publishers steal from the creators. Top creators, legendary creators are only low-level millionaires instead of being worth 100s of millions or billions. This is the publisher's greed, no one else's.
I respectfully disagree. It doesn’t address the sense of purpose issue.
A lot of people go to work every day feeling needed. Like they matter.
Take that away, and all you’re left with is unlimited free time, meaning more Netflix, video games, and consumption of X-rated content over doing something productive.
I love my free time when I get it, but if I don’t work for it, I don’t appreciate it.
Too much free time without any structure might not be the best thing for humanity.
Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
@PunkRecordsLab Comparatively speaking, when the top mangaka are only worth a few million on properties that have generated billions, THEIR EMPLOYERS ARE RIPPING THEM OFF!!!
Caros japoneses,
Tava dando uma olhada no faturamento de venda de mangás e, olhando esses valores absurdos, fiquei com uma dúvida.
Se piratear é errado pois é roubar dinheiro do trabalho árduo do artista, mas os mangakas não estão todos multimilionários...
Isso não significa que tem alguém roubando eles muito antes de chegar na gente?
Quem é que tá ficando com todo esse dinheiro as custas dos nossos artistas favoritos?
A half-white half-Chinese lady explains:
"Even though my Dad married a Chinese lady, loves Chinese history, culture and food... he's still a white supremacist. Also, all of MAGA is white supremacist (half of America)."
@P1K1R1T0 Japanese companies are pathological, suspicious, and hostile about their IP instead of being "normally" protective of it. They need to relax and I think the pirates wouldn't be so cavalier about "taking everything".
O foda dessa discussão de pirataria de coisa japonesa é que os japoneses dificilmente vão entender porque o acesso que eles tem a qualquer coisa é a preço de banana tá ligado.
Mangá pra eles é troco de bala.
Happy #PortfolioDay 💫
I'm Raul Trevino, living in Japan, and I'm a huge fan of retro anime. I'm on a mission to find the best second-hand retro anime books. My collection is overflowing, and my wife is starting to notice it! 💦
