i’ll try my damnedest. i got stubbornness and spite and hope all working overtime

oh there are lots of ways.

unfortunately a lot of the time, it doesn’t get any easier.

that being said, it all starts with knowing and understanding that, if you love who you are, those mistakes helped make you who you are.

personally that helped me come to peace with the fact that i had fucked up so badly.

next is atonement to yourself and others. that means learning to prevent the mistake from occurring again in the future, helping others that you recognize are making the same mistake so that they don’t have to suffer like you did, and if you hurt someone, apologizing to that person for both their and your own healings sake. sometimes it also means apologizing to yourself.

you do have to understand, though, that people change over time. our mistakes make us who we are. and you are not the same person you were when you originally made the mistake.

last and most unpleasant advice i can give is to allow the feelings to wash over you. our brain is capable of experiencing so many emotions, and each emotion serves a very important purpose. we tend to lead lives that shy away from the unpleasant emotions, but there is value to be had in experiencing them. feeling the shame of making a mistake can drive you to never make that mistake again. that’s valuable, even if it is unpleasant for a time.

it gets better bro.

all i have to say is show me one truly original thought that doesn’t have a basis in other thoughts and i’ll start thinking this AI learning other people’s styles is a bad thing.

just one.

unfortunately for everyone poo pooing it, the fact of the matter is everything is a remix of a remix of a remix. ai is just one more step in a long line of steps of mimicry and adaptation.

and if someone carbon copies someone else’s work, that’s really obvious and then gets called the fuck out. but if you are taking someone’s style and combining it with subjects they’d never use and other styles, then you’ve just used ai to do the exact thing we’ve always done.

this knee jerk reaction stuff, honestly, i can’t wait for it to dissipate

yes those silly comic book artists leaving their webcomic title in the lower left, just as the old school methods required thanks to tesla inventing social media

like ngl sounds like somebody is defending future him’s right to rape and not fear for his life.

for three years i have seen and loved this comic so much.

“perfect for 3am chats in the kitchen with your sleep paralysis demon and all its buddies. the slight daytime shade easily hides the 100 year old blood stains in the hardwood floor, so you can’t even see the pentagram! very roomy!”

and OLD

maaaaan who the fuck lives life like it’s NOT a choose your own adventure.

i’d honestly like to remember it but i also don’t want to say it. not only is it racist, it’s fucking stupid.

like the people that say libtards or magats, we get it. you don’t wike the bad peeepow. you godda caw dem bawd names so you can feew gewd.

this is just a more fucking racist version of the stupidest childish playground tacitics of name calling that both sides of the isles’ idiots can’t help but say.

that being said, gravy seals and meal team 6 are great and hilarious. it’s just stupid shit like democRAT. oh ho ho! it’s got rat in it? MY FUCKING FIVE YEAR-OLD NIECE COMES UP WITH MORE CREATIVE INSULTS.

“and it ain’t even friday! that’s how bad you need to shut the fuck up!”

IIRC from the reddit thread i saw it in, someone translated it, and it is 100% accurate and talks about building a life for his family out in the west, building the railroads. the work is hard but the people are good to me. i wish you all well and miss you much. that kinda thing.
