Violence is sometimes the answer. We should be slow to it and exhaust all other options first, but refusing it in principle as a red line means sociopaths who are incapable of empathy have absolutely zero reason to not oppress you. We get into serious systemic problems when we assume everyone has a conscience.

Absolutely. It’s sucked a lot longer than that.

Always someone taking their fandom too seriously I guess.

Also Trump is still an actual candidate and people are rightfully terrified. That does things to people’s sarcasm detectors.

Then there are the people who recognize it’s a joke/sarcasm and just think it’s too serious to joke about, and they’re entitled to their opinion. It IS serious, but I will never allow that to get in the way of a joke.

Is it too late to elect Trump and end democracy?

This is less of a brag and more a question for the philosoraptor.

Edit: Apologies… didn’t even notice that loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works beat me to this observation.

That was all Bing’s idea. My prompt only included “smiling children”.

Maybe the guidance is “Fix your nightmare faces.”

Sounds like you need some on-the-spot guidance.

When Shrek is outlawed, only outlaws will have Shrek.

Did somebody say Catholic Shrek?

Untrue. I grew up on the Super Mario Brothers Super Show.

I can see the point in theory, but when this would’ve been really helpful, my experience is 80% of the time the video maker’s hand is obscuring the important stuff, and the video is often out of focus or frame anyway, and a red circle on a photo as an alternative will usually do just fine. The nice thing about still photos is, the photographer REALLY has to think about each shot, and if it is showing the important thing they want to reveal in that shot. If it isn’t, they’re forced to either retake it or take extra photos to get the point across.

With a video, the videographer is distracted by talking and doing a thing at the same time, and they just think “Yeah, it’s video. I got it.” and they often don’t even rewatch the footage.
