People I fucking hate part 4

 Passive aggressive malignant narcissists can fuck right off.

"I say I respect your opinion but I clearly don't since every time the topic comes up I make sure to let everyone know how right I am and how wrong and evil your view is while you're clearly in earshot so you can hear people disparage you lololol"

It's never a one time thing either.  They come back to this shit with every person they can and always make sure you hear it over and over and over again for years after the fact.  YEARS.  YEEEEEEAAARRSS.

Everyone who does this shit needs to fill a Dixie cup with fish hooks and then just down the whole thing in one shot.  If you want to get rid of "sick, sad and hateful people" that's the best place to start you fucking psychos.

Should AI art become accepted as the new norm?

Fuck no.  All of your so called "art" looks like shit and the fact that you can "just type in a dozen words and get a picture" (by also spending enough electricity to power a small town) is a fucking farce.  And no, it's not "democratizing art", it's fucking theft.  You're the modern equivalent of 12 year olds who steal other people's drawings off Deviantart, put your name on it and try to sell them as your own.  In other words, scumbags.  Miss me with that bullshit about how hating "AI Artists" is ableism, too.  Check this:

 

This is Bruce Horak.  He's a successful actor and an accomplished painter.  He's also been legally blind since he was three years old.  If he can build up talent and make a legitimate career out of it then what the fuck is your excuse?

My point is this: if you want to make art, do it.  I don't even care whether it's good, just pick up a pencil  or a mouse or whatever and make it yourself.  The only way to make good art is to make a lot of shit art first and get gradually better; there ain't no shortcut to fame or talent.  Besides, even shit art is better than stolen art because at least it's something you made, an expression of yourself, rather than something you stole from someone else for a bit of cheap fame.  Which is kind of the entire point of making anything.

So yeah, "AI artists" need to go.  We do enough for loudly-and-proudly-mediocre assholes already; From Software recycles the same 30 year old engine to make you a new game every 8 months you can blast through in a week with a guide and then point to your cheevo lists as proof of your superior gene stock or some shit.  Sony's reduced their entire lineup of "games" to 40-hour cutscenes with no mental involvement beyond following an arrow and pushing a button; so it's no longer about skill as a gamer, but how much non-existent "depth" you can find in the shallow characters and cliché-ridden scripts.  Elon Musk (shit-eating racist nepo-manbaby) spent 44 BILLION dollars on a whole ass social media site so pathetic manchildren with the mentality of playground bullies can pay him $8 to "be seen" while they insult, belittle, demean and start fights all day from behind the safety of their mom's Compaq.  Or just post blatantly untrue/offensive bullshit and get paid when idiots try to argue with them over it.  You're all coddled babies; try earning something just once in your fucking life instead of being parasites.

And while I'm on the subject, fuck Elon Musk.  What a useless fucking human being.  I hope debris from his next rocket or truck that explodes crushes him.

Bring back Marooning

Can we remove people from society who dig up months/years-old posts to try and start stupid arguments?  Just make em gone, permanently.  No lawyers, no courts, no trial, no waiting 15 years on death row.  Hell, you wouldn't even have to spend money housing em in jail for years and years and years; just bring back marooning.  Dump em on a tiny sandbar in the ocean with a single-shot pistol and provisions.   Problem solved.

If it sucks, hit the bricks.

 At some point you have to come to grips with the fact that a place that's been a toxic shithole for years will always suck, change your mindset from "maybe it'll improve if I do X" to "this is never going to get better", cut your losses, and move the fuck on.

"Some people" aka the new hot weasel word

 When you say "some people" in an argument what you're always talking about is yourself.  Just be honest about it already and stop trying to ad populum fallacy your way to "winning" an argument.

 "Some people don't want games under 300 hours long"
"Some people say we were better off under Trump"
"Some people think you should be executed in the street Vietnam style for daring to question anything I say"

You're not fooling anyone, seriously.
