Tired of having your artwork used for AI training but find watermarks dismaying and ineffective?
Well check this out! Software that makes your Art look messed up to training AIs and unusable in a data set but nearly unchanged to human eyes.
I just learned about this. It's in Beta. Please read all the information before using.
Art thieves already hate it:
Dude, if you're stealing, you deserve to have the data poisoned. Because you could have asked and you didn't.
If you like frogs. Or possums. Or cool builds. Or happiness. This is the video for you.
The oft-repeated phrase “transmen are men” meant that many cisgender women were calling it transphobic to decide the KAM was exclusive to cisgender men. As this rhetoric evolved, many started swinging to the opposite side of the pendulum, saying things like “Kill all men, including transmen. :D” While intended to be inclusive, the extra note of transmen not only removes us from the phrase directly, but it also ignores how transmen’s experience some of the same violence from the same men that are referenced in KAM. Transmen are still sexually assaulted and murdered simply because they are trans, and also if they are seen as women by other men. The frequent inclusion of positive emojis after the mention of transmen also serves as a form of infantilization and not taking transmen as seriously as cis men.
Here, since we always need to show proof or we won't be taken seriously (hey, I wonder what this phenomenon is called!)
i’m just. very frustrated as an adult on a 17+ app being treated like i’m a little baby who can’t handle adult content or curate my own experience. it’s fucking stupid
Also also, there have been kids online for over 20 years now. I was 11 when I got the internet. I was 13 when I got a non-dialup one. I'm 33 now. When I joined we used fucking GeoCities. Tumblr came around when I was over 18. If my generation could navigate the web without demanding to be catered to, you guys can too.
Is it wrong that I’m cool with “sex” being removed from the pride flag? They should bring back “magic” though.
Personally I think you’re wrong and an idiot but that’s just my opinion.
Fyi this isn’t a dig at people who are asexual or sex-repulsed. Gay sex was literally a criminal act in the parts of the United States Texas until 2003. A healthy relationship to both sex and your body is a major component of the human experience, but especially LGBTQ+ people. Yes this includes people who have a healthy understanding of their boundaries with regards to sex. To try and divorce the fight for LGBTQ+ rights from sexuality is both dangerous and ahistorical.
friendly unfriendly reminder that the sex stripe never stood for just the act itself, it stood for the choice to engage in it. it stood for uncomventional sexualities and preferences.
that fucking includes ace/sex-repulsed people.
like. it is conventional to want sex! those that don’t actively defy that role. they *choose* not too - that is part of the history of the stripe too (not to take away from OPs point tho - gay sex as a criminal act is absolutely enough in its own to bring the color back).
apparently people are annoyed because the thor in the new god of war looks like a strongman instead of a bodybuilder lmao
and they made his hair red (which is historically accurate to the myth)? Wig
What an absolute lad.
The funny/sad thing is that apparently way back in the day when Thor, Loki and Odin appeared in Sandman, Neil Gaiman said that there were irate Marvel fans that were mad that Thor was depicted as a kinda loutish guy with red hair rather than the image of Avenger!Thor (blond, winged helmet, formal Shakespearean dialogue) they were used to.
You just don’t understand.
THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER 1.06 One World, One People
These are amazing.
This is the way you left me, I’m not pretending. No hope, no love, no glory, No happy ending.
I was supposed to post something inktober related, but i completely gave up after 4 days of drawing, so you can have this instead ;)
Some amazing cosplayers got together to show support for Hong Kong after the Blizzard controversy. For those who didn’t know, Blizzard banned pro Hearthstone winner for supporting Hong Kong and took away his prize money. So many American companies, Blizzard, NBA, Hollywood, and countless more are censoring free speech in fear of angering China and losing out on Chinese money. It’s ironic when Blizzard’s slogan is “Every Voice Matters” and their games features heros fighting for justice. Let’s show them such hypocrisy won’t be tolerated!
Meanwhile the people of Hong Kong are fighting hard for their own freedom and democracy against the totalitarian regime of China. I was born and raised in China myself and I saw first hand the extreme level of censorship and nationalist propaganda people are subject to. If you speak out in China, you will get disappeared. Don’t let this happen to the people of Hong Kong, stand for what is just. Don’t let greed for money speak louder than freedom.
Even just online friends. Y'all need more than one person or your significant other in your life.
Depending on only one person isn't healthy. For you or them. People need space and alone time.
I feel like I need to add onto this.
You are never going to have 100% of someone's attention 100% of the time. Even RL partners.
If a person in your life makes you a priority, be thankful and reciprocate if you want, but understand that no one is REQUIRED to give you their time or energy.
People have lives. Their own worlds, their own priorities. We're lucky when our worlds overlap with theirs and have something we can share in. Some worlds overlap more than others. But they never completely merge. And they shouldn't.
We all need things that are just for us. Our own little thing that we don't have to share if we don't want to.
Someone giving attention to others doesn't automatically make you less important. It's human nature to communicate and interact with other people. Some more than others. No one should ever be made to feel wrong or guilty for doing so.
You can't demand or expect 100% of someone's attention. Otherwise you end up becoming that creepy, obsessed friend who can't take a hint. How dare you have friends. How dare you have hobbies they can't get into. This is just as important for real life partners. Do not become that obsessive, controlling, toxic jerk.
So please. Even if it's just internet friends. Reach out. Find other people to spend time with.
And this comes from someone with massive social anxiety.
