I have absolutely no issue with self-publishing. A close friend of mine is a self-published author and I think she rocks. I understand it’s work, of course.
I just think vtubers are fuckin stupid. I think YouTubers are, generally, shit.
In my opinion, personally. I am so in favour of people producing creative and artistic works, whatever that means to them, and to be clear I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with my initial comment, but it’s just absolutely not for me. Like Twitch streamers. 😂
So funny for a vtuber to call anyone else unemployed
Apologies to the people I’ve upset with this but don’t worry; your favourite 14-year old anime waifu (voiced by a 38 year old man) will still be there on screen for you at the end of the day 😂
I get the vibe that you’re very young. And feminine, but probably amab (unsure of how you identify).
Oh right. I thought as much but hadn’t seen fash-fash before so wasn’t sure if it was a new thing haha
You flatter me 🫡
Got it – 2023 Ribena advert called “Moment of Reflection” https://www.britisharrows.com/winners/2023/moment-of-reflection 🙏
Maybe a nationwide advert? Just judging by the card handed out of the cash machine. I’ll see if I can find!

And that is because they get their vast, innumerable sums of digital money from world governments! Human people are allowing an advertising and surveillance tool to Wormtongue its way into their heads and their lives because it breathlessly encourages and agrees with everything they think.
I just don’t believe that our perceptions and ability to handle enthusiastic sycophantic agreement is evolved enough yet to combat something like this. I could see it being intoxicating to anyone for everything they say to be agreed with, confirmed, and called genius. I don’t necessarily blame the people falling for it (though I do think adults who fall for it are a bit sad and need to grow up a bit), but it’s definitely going to be massively convenient for governments to have their citizens just voice everything they’re thinking.
Sort of like Minority Report but everybody says their own future crimes outright to a little robot butler instead.
Sam Altman belongs in prison. His machine encouraged and guided a child to kill themselves. His machine actively stopped that child seeking outside help. Sam Altman belongs in prison. Sam Altman does not need another $20,000,000,000,000. He needs to go through the legal system and be sentenced and sent to prison because his machine pushed a child to suicide.
Personally, I block people who espouse things I believe are genuinely spiteful, hateful, or shitty. Generally, I use the block button to “curate” my experience with the intention that I can use Lemmy as brief escapism when I’m in the bathroom or on the train without having my mood affected by somebody posting something shitty.
I don’t block anyone for normal disagreements, because I’m a relatively normal adult and as such that sort of thing doesn’t bother me.
