I saw a guy doing this recently (not to a barista, but someone that worked with the public) and the only thing that kept me from losing my mind on him was knowing there was no way the worker wanted to deal with him AND me blowing up at him. He eventually just left, but it was maddening to witness.

Also, IME upper middle and upper class people are about 1000% more likely to do this than anyone else. This douche sounded like the frattiest frat bro to ever frat.

Bro, it’s not a person and it doesn’t think. This is embarrassing for you. This is like thinking there are little people in the TV.

Using this as a place to infodump because I just learned it: you know how haikus follow a 5-7-5 syllable pattern? For corridos every line is 8 syllables.

Yeah, it’s based on knowing the difference between a tool and a human being 👍

The plagiarism machine vomits out the visual equivalent of text prediction. It isn’t an artist any more than the text prediction on your phone is an author if you hit the next predicted word enough times, people are artists and authors. Image generation is at best a Xerox machine.

Art is made by artists, who are human, and your argument is the fallacy fallacy.

If typing a prompt into a plagiarism machine makes you an artist, why doesn’t paying a real human to make art for you also make you an artist?

If someone said they were the artist of something but it turns out they just paid someone else to do it, would you think they were a talentless jackass or an artist?

Why? They’re right. There wasn’t an artist involved in making that.

Deaf people already may learn to speak without that through speech therapy, although for most it’s not their preferred method of communication.

I don’t know how it’s changed in the modern day because the people I know who went through it as kids did it like 30 years ago, but it used to be common to hold a balloon against the throat while speaking to feel the different sounds you’re making.

o7 Fair! I just always try to be very positive about seeking therapy, since anxieties like that kept me from seeking therapy for a long time. If you don’t need to hear it, maybe someone else who does will read it

If they can’t handle baby level memes like this they’re not cut out to do anything other than teach suburbanites basic emotional regulation. Which like, there’s a need for that. But the average therapist isn’t going to be deeply disturbed or anything like that, they spend classroom time studying how mental health issues distort your perception and thinking. Usually not via memes, but this is just the picture book version of showing a therapist your journal.

Edit: also, the fear that your therapist will ‘fire’ you or otherwise react badly if you are completely honest about your mental health is something to discuss with a therapist, too! It’s a really common fear and they should be able to address your concerns.

Fun fact: if you give a therapist a folder of all the memes you relate to, you can speedrun therapy

Almost identical, my understanding is it’s slightly off since it’s such an old measurement. But for everyday purposes it’s the same.

Fluid ounce is volume, ounce is weight. Liters vs grams.

I mean, the Sopranos is all about people who hurt others for their own materialistic desires slowly losing everything, including their own lives. When it aired it just sort of had this problem among the American public:

Fruit bats. Just no ebola, please.

Business must be booming for them, they’re sold out on their online store.

And anyone who has eye issues. My text size isn’t cranked up because I’m great at reading a bunch of squiggly shit, and if I saw more than one sentence of that I’d just not read it.
