  • Same with the AI thing – my poor brain is so primed to see it. The little dude looks so strange here though lmao

    I think there was another image, maybe a political cartoon, where a dude had like six fingers and another had a cut-off leg (misdrawn, not amputated). It even had a color pallate close to the standard AI comic scheme. It came from way before generative AI, though.

    Yeah, if I noticed that pattern (I only know the one quote and was hoping the dig was just awkward) I’d be put off, too. Eww. I do like most of the quote, though.

    It’s a pretty easy way to respond to being put down for being perceived to be smarter. When I was a middle schooler, I felt that way. I was in the advanced programs (btw. Still riding that high :) and certainly had a very “you’re just too dumb to see it like me” reactionary phase. I did grow up, though, lol. I realized Im also too dumb to see it any particularly special way.

    I took way too many words to say that I think having a better understanding of the world is better and not worse.

    Oh my gosh this is so me! I started by trying to figure out what our lawn was made of and now I’m seeing NPFs (Noxious Plant Fuckers) all over the place! I’ve gone through my states Noxious Plant list and I’m obliterating giant ragweed as we speak.

    I’ve found so many cool facts about the history of plants in my neighbors garden, too! I’m just starting, but plants are so cool! There’s a type of invasive honeysuckle that whitetail deer love, and it tends to choke out all other plant life around it. One day, we might have whole forests of deer and honeysuckle, with not a predator in sight. Whoops, haha!
