Hey, guess what! Your argument is so inane, even OpenAI is now convinced it was a really stupid idea too. But sure, go on pretending that freely available fan art by a single person is exactly the same as a paid service by a multi-billion dollar company.
I appreciate the sentiment, but my living situation is not all that much better. 😅
If only we could be in a small café above the Lac de Sainte-Croix right now, have a croissant and a coffee...
Oh, I hope you can do that. Also I am seriously jealous now.
I wholeheartedly agree. Provence is so pretty and the "Gorges du Verdon" are stunning.
This is a prime example of why patriarchy is hurting men too, because what this guy is saying boils down to:
- We can make them work at any hour of the day because who cares if these guys have any life outside work?
- We don't have to do any work management, we just call those guys
- We can send them wherever, whenever
- We can create a toxic work environment and it's okay to treat guys like shit
- And those guys don't even complain because they need this job so bad
Isn't it great?
The statement about "workplace laws" is so telling: Yeah, who cares about treating men with respect and dignity!?
It's not just about discriminating against women, it's also about mistreating men. That's what patriarchy is at its core: Pit men and women against each other and then reap the benefits. It's a "divide and conquer strategy".
I can relate to your rant. So just one small note, if I may: I know how you may feel in this moment, but keep in mind that transitioning takes time. Yes, of course, there are things that can be changed quickly (new clothes, etc.), but other things take a lot of time (hormones take a while before they kick in and so do other physical changes). You do not have to be in a rush to get everything done ASAP, because it often does not work that way. So don't put yourself under a lot of pressure and be kind to yourself. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable with yourself. Godspeed, friend!
As the psychologists love to say: "You cannot have no behavior", because even completely passive behavior is still behavior. Identity is the same way. But semantics aside, I definitely agree that people should get as weird as they please.
Obligatory footnote: EvoPsych is mostly bunk, deeply intertwined with eugenics and riddled with homophobia, sexism and rape apologia.
The stock went down when Tesla's sales numbers for the first quarter of 2025 got out and showed a decrease of sold vehicles, on top of Musk's shenanigans and the protests at Tesla showrooms. Now these events have been "priced in" and the stock operates on vague estimates and wishful thinking again until the next slew of substantial bad news hits, at the latest when the next quarterly numbers are due.
Hm, is his wife's name Abigail? 🤔
