    As a 34 year old, I welcome death. You mean I still need to do this for 35 more years??!! Fucking hell! Why do people like bringing children into this hellscape?

      I have saved a bunch of pills, like bottles and bottles, because I came off a medication but still let it be renewed every time. I’m ready for whenever I think it’s time.

      Haha yeah totally like. At this rate we’ve no hope of fat retirement payments at all and even then mid 70s before we get them.

    So my slop-radar dings this one but the only things I can see are the nonsensical third tube on the lower left and the left crane just floats in the air. I hate this.

      Each shoe of the left guy are drawn separately. If this wasn’t AI, the artist 100% would have copy pasted them since they’re at the same angle in a flat perspective. AI generated for sure.


      Edit: Since I am a psychopath with too much time on their hands, here’s an animation showing the differences:

      An actual artist would have either A) copy and pasted the shoe making it identical, or B) drawn two separate shoes resulting in more differences.

      Because these are only slightly different but share so much at the same time, such as having the exact same shoelace pattern, I’d put my money on AI. Literally no one draws like this.

        Ha, this demonstrates another thing I think is very weird, that line in the background that almost lines up with the lines of their shoes / trousers. An artist would either make them line up (weird) or move the line in the background up or down, so they are distinct lines.

      It looks like a dreamstime stock image, at least there’s a watermark. Or does dreamstime now expect people to pay for slop stock too now?

        Oh, interesting. I’m pretty sure Dreamstime was one of the first domains I blocked manually to get rid of slop on image searches before I got Ublock lists for that. So that watermark makes me think even more that this is slop.

          Looked it up and yes, dreamstime is now hosting AI. It’s crazy, why would you pay for an AI image when you can generate them elsewhere for free? Also afaik you can’t copyright an AI image anyway.

    Rent seek, but not social safety net like a filthy parasite. There’s a distinction and it’s important in America. Have you earned the right to take other’s labor? /s

    I’ve been thinking about putting a nice poster or painting on my ceiling, so when I die at my desk if I happen to slump backward at least a nice poster will be the last thing I see.

    I have worked hard my whole life raising a family. There is no way my meager retirement plus social security (if it exists when I retire) will be able to support me with rising costs. That is if I don’t catch cancer or have some other malady. Then I am totally screwed and would be homeless until I die.

    I’ll take on a metric fuckton of debt and blow it all on having fun and then die so I can stick the bill to the man
