I try to understand the other side, but I am not the other side, and I will fight you both with compassion.

@baby_maumau Let’s put down our phones. Ready? 1… 2…..

Gen X here. Back in my day no one asked who you voted for, no one cared, and no one made choice of POTUS part of their identity. Can we please bring this back FFS?

@rovnni Will it hurt? What’s next?

SEJAM SINCEROS! se Deus chegasse agora, sentasse ao seu lado e dissesse: "seu tempo aqui na terra acabou." o que você diria a Ele?

@BlazeBinges 1 billion people have loved it and 1 million people thought it was trash. I guess it depends on how special you are.

Confession: I have never watched a single Toy Story movie. Are they worth watching?

@JamesCarne49587 I pray that God is more gracious than our understanding of the rules allow.

My brother’s dad just died. He wasn’t a believer in Christ. How do I pray for someone who has passed but didn’t know Christ?

@BeatlemaniaUK Wouldn’t it have to be a song written and recorded when the Beatles were still a group? A song like Yesterday might be among very few songs to count as solo Beatles songs.

What is the best song by a solo Beatle? #Beatles #TheBeatles

@ThatEricAlper Even if I accept the premise that it was created by evil racist Henry Ford, it’s an ethically neutral thing and beneficial if done well with a spirit of fun and cooperation.

@iWomansplainer For me, and I suspect for many others, it comes down to how we were parented and how that shapes our understanding of “God the Father.” If your parents were distant, controlling, or emotionally unsafe, that analogy can make honest anger toward God feel complicated.

Why are religious people so afraid of being angry with God??

@miles_commodore At this point, roll the dice. It barely matters.

When a family member over 85 years old is telling you a story for the 28th time, should you say something or play along?

@redheadranting I didn’t watch a ton of the original show but enough to think the tv reunion they did was important. The film is a loving satire and really fun. I would also compare it to Galaxy Quest as a film thatthat loves what it’s gently mocking

I am GenX and have never seen this movie. I grew up watching the original show every day after school, I couldn't understand why a remake would be worth my time. Is it?

@Kristinartz Depends on her name.

What do you call a woman who lives alone, without a husband or partner?

@cold_fire7 The skeleton fight is still pretty amazing.

@MusicInquisit @GearAntique @jelly_pack Could the “black box” aspect be compared to debates about whether Pollock made art? Much of his control was surrendered to physics which while absolutely calculable are outside the artist’s mastery. I wonder if the debate falls along similar lines.

@GearAntique @artflunky @jelly_pack As scale and complexity grows, the internal representations and decision rationales are often inscrutable, making it functionally gray-to-black box. Contrast it to simpler random processes, where both mechanism and causal chains remain clear. Calling it a black-box is unfair. 2/2

Insanely funny to use Bob Ross in this sort of argument. His whole thing was the process of making art, not the end result! His show was literally called "The Joy of Painting"!!!!

@GearAntique @jelly_pack Exactly. And if a person bothered to draw this, they’d see the contradiction. That’s where AI sucks. It races to produce without reflection.

@jelly_pack In the second panel the guy is literally LOOKING AT BOB and can't even see the painting, implying that he thinks that Bob's process is what's really beautiful lmao

@JamianGerard The meme accidentally admits that people value more than the finished image. In the second panel, nobody is even looking at the painting. They’re looking at Bob Ross. The relationship with the artist is the point, which is exactly what many AI critics have been saying all along.

the hypocrisy is baffling

@JamianGerard It would be hypocrisy if the talentless prompter used Thomas Kincaid as the artist instead of Bob Ross but they understand so little about art that the distinction was lost on them.

@historyrock_ Greater musician than Jesus.

Is John Lennon one of the greatest musicians of all time?

@sciencegirl 100 years.

Guys, what’s stopping you having a moustache like this

@Ravenismeee My mom, my dad and myself.

Men who can cook .. who taught you??

These questions force you to assess your political theory against a visual symptom while the economic conditions that created it — conditions you’re also vulnerable to — go unexamined. That’s the distraction.

@Michaeldudufudu Hostile architecture is often treated as the moral issue itself instead of a symptom of deeper economic and social failures. The discourse becomes: “Should benches allow sleeping?” instead of “Why are benches functioning as housing?”

Can Christians support Anti-homeless architecture?
