Frankly I find you and all of your posts to be fucking annoying whether they're about Muslims, Christians, or whomever else. The fact that you're a power-user of this board in addition to being a mod and you're stickying your own post to defend garbage-tier memes you rip straight from Facebook and reddit circa 2009 just makes me think it isn't worth it to have this board show up in my feed at all.
we spent over a century fighting off savages
So like, you just absolutely hate books then, huh? Facts are just things you can kinda make up on the spot based on a John Wayne movie you vaguely remember watching half of as a kid and not fundamental truths about the world around us.
Very cool, wish I could do the same. Good luck being hateful and mad at everyone who doesn't look like you, I'm sure that's a winning strategy in the long run.
If this meme is an example of conservatism to you, then you genuinely need to learn more about your own nation and consider whether the values you claim to have are worth having.
And I didn't join anything. This dogshit had the gall to show up in the Hot sorting view.
You could at the very least learn some fucking history, dude. Your ancestors didn't move to an undeveloped land. Your ancestors invaded a land that had been carefully cultivated for millennia and forced out the descendants of the people who made that land livable.
Like, whatever, ignorance is why you're a bigot in the first place. I just am constantly surprised by the utter lack of curiosity among conservatives that leads to dumbshit opinions like this.
they'd know that actual legit news doesn't exist on that website anymore
The people getting the majority of their news from Facebook likely considered the memes to be more legitimate than the actual news anyway.
What if my religion says you shouldn't go around fuckin' bears tho?
Then would you give up your bear-fuckin'?
I don't disagree that it feels way different, and honestly I'm still not sure if it's going to be a good thing or a bad thing.
But are the words you and I are writing a lesser form of communication just because we're tapping a screen or typing on a keyboard rather than writing them out by hand?
Granted, it's still not the same thing. These are my words being arranged to my liking, but will we one day look at AI art as an extension of our hand the way that a keyboard is?
Is the world a better place because the commodification of art is monopolized by AI, or will art be better for the fact that it's only practiced for the love of art and more bespoke purposes?
This subject is super complex and philosophical and definitely something I hope I live long enough to see the resolution to, some day.
I imagine a better analogy would be scribes talking about the printing press.
Prior to the invention of the printing press, the endeavor of mass creation of copies of a book could employ dozens of highly trained, highly skilled workers whose recreations were frequently seen as an artistic endeavor as much as a literary one. When the printing press was introduced and didn't carry illustrations in the margins or nice little flourishes on some of the letters, the works were considered "soulless" and "without character"
A human can say that they were influenced by XYZ but they might not be crediting all of the instructors they had, or all the art books they read, all the stepping stones that got them to the point of being able to produce a work that has an identifiable influence. Then consider the people who influenced the person they're citing as an influence, and so on and so on. I don't know that the AI can tell you where every flourish comes from, but the person using it as a tool certainly could tell you what tags they used, which often include "in the style of "
I think you're intentionally missing the point. Yeah, condoms are fine. The government mandating when you can and cannot use condoms in order to enforce an arbitrary population number is not as fine.
Then why even have marriage? What a stupid concept.
People change, people hide shit. The person you know the absolute best is someone that you don't know everything about. If someone puts on airs until the wedding and then reveals themselves to be a piece of shit, you should just be stuck with them for life because you signed some stupid paper?
I'd rather abolish the concept of marriage entirely than have to live in some stupid hellhole that follows the rules you think should apply to marriage.
Let's not forget that multiple accusers up and fucking died while waiting for their day in court, also.
Kinda hard to provide testimony that could have been compelling for the court when a number of key witnesses don't survive the trial.
She's obviously been persecuted like them, right?
They should be so lucky. Nobody in all of humanity's long history has been persecuted the way the modern conservative American has been.
Well, I'm really sorry you posted an advertisement on an open discussion board then, because most of Lemmy is about having conversations.
It seems like a natural function of the rpgtools board to talk about the pros, cons, and comparisons of available tools since most people have neither the time nor inclination to spend on every single map maker that gets put on the market.
I know neither you
That's why I provided further context as to what kind of an answer I was looking for, but if you'd rather not discuss the pros and cons of this system over others, that's fine too.
What benefit would this have over some of the tools I already have? Is it a more robust toolset than Dungeondraft, or is it easier to upload my own assets into?
Does it export using the universal VTT file system?
And privateering is piracy when you have the consent of a government to attack ships belonging to another government
